Has to Come to Flaherty - If - -,5 1 BOBO OLSON By HARRY" C.IMYS0X NBA sports Editor NEW YORK tNEA Because Bobo Olson is going to make his first start since wiaiUttg the middleweight championship in a non-Utle fight for the opposition, it was reported that the International Boxing Club had abandoned pians for a lightweight title match be tween Jimmy Carter and E3die Chavez, the Hawaiian-Portuguese-Swede's stablemate. Nothing cpuld be further from the truth. Sid Flaherty, the San Francisco i promoter-manager, happens to be the boss in this case, and there isn't much that James D, Korris can do about it. So Carter will box Chaves for the 135-pound leadership in San Francisco and Olson will defend the 160-pound title against Gavilan. It no doubt will bo a package deal, with the Carter Chavez match going to the Golden City and the GlsonGavilan engagement to Yankee Stadium, where the One Big Unhappy Monopoly wants it for the rent and whatnot. The totally independent Flah erty has the ace card in Olson. Flaherty sought the Randy Turpin match for Kan Francisco, you see, and when Jim Norm persisted on the Bronx, this manager from the old school insisted upon no return match and no exclusive rights to his fighter. That leaves him free to do as he pleases. So OUon is hosing Joe Hiadone, the rugged Bostonian who is little better than a trial horse, for Bay Arcel's Saturday Night Fights at San Francisco's Winteriand Arena, Jan, 23. It ia a benefit show for the Father Hannah Fund, , The Chavez appointment is good business for Carter, the accom plished New York Negro, in San Francisco, Chavez, a clever Mexi can of San Jose, took a non-title derision from him there early in 1953. Flaherty offers Carter a $40,000 guarantee.

IS gan State's comeback victory over UCLA m the Rose Bowl, no doubt will start in Paul Brown's "North" backfield. Both sides will be loaded with talent, there being no fewer than 20 captains or co-captams on the two squads, but It is the Cavazos- Wells duel that will get my patronage. Incidentally, we see wnere one well known critic says Texas Tech was not invited to play in the Cot ton Bowl because "it is not ranked as an accredited school." That, if But the question remains, accred- true, would explain a lot of things, ited to what? Dan Bucceroni. the ex-sailor and Olympic champion from Philadel phia, scored an impressive victory over Hein Ten Hoff, the big Ger man, in their Tuesday night heavy weight fight at Milwaukee, but it is difficult to find a man on tne Broadway boxing beat who rates him a real contender for Rocky Marciano's title. Their typical reaction was about the same as that of Rocky's man- aeer. Al Weill, who shrugged ana said "it's a win." Despite his rec ord of 48 victories against only three losses. Bucceroni is thought to hit hard enough to stem the champions relentless anacn. A friend reports that the Austral- ian Dress is putting front page pressure on its tennis selectors to resign since their memorable de cision to play Rex Hartwlg instead of Ken Rosewall in the Davis Cup doubles placed the prized trophy in seeming jeopardy ior a aay. The campaign will fail, for an Australian selector lets go of that coveted office only when he is stilled in death. But it serves to give an idea of the grip the sport has on the nation. The fact that Rosewall, back with his regular partner, Lewis Hoad, had just trounced our doubles pair ot Tony Trabert and Vic Seixas in a tour nament at Adelaide, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, does not promise to lessen the edi torial heat. It's been a long haul, but pro fessional basketball finally has caught on solidly here and is for the first time consistently omoraw- ing the college game at Madison Snuare Garden. Crowds of over 12,000 on a heavy schedule in the National Basketball Assn. protend higher player salaries and growing prosperity for a sport which once was hmoing badly. Many ascribe the increasing pop ularity of the money game to its policy of encouraging television. Its leaders figured that the more persons they could induce to watch the greatest stars in action on weir home screens the more would gain a desire to see them in person, They appear to have figured cor rectly.

Coaches Look For Grid Jobs By FRITZ HOWELL CINCINNATI W The coaches, not the players, were football's men in motion today as the Na tional Collegiate Athletic Assn. neared the end of Its hitherto list less 48th convention. Hoping to line up one of sine or more head coaching jobs, as pirants were scurrying around to see various athletic directors be fore all head back to their home bases Saturday. Dayton University filled Its coaching berth last night by hiring Hugh Devore, former St. Bonaven ture, Notre Dame, NYU and Green Bay Packer mentor, but still look ing for grid chiefs were Toledo, Minnesota, North Carolina State, Idaho, Texas A&M, Pennsylvania, Iowa State, Kansas and several smaller schools. Nebraska is seek ing an athletic director, SUMMED UP Ike Armstrong, Minnesota ath letic director, summed up the at titude of all the principals in the job-hunting sector when he said: "I'm talking to a lot of people here. Some of them about tne coaching vacancy, some about oth er things. I'm not naming anyone I confer with, for it just wouldn't be fair, when we decide on coach we'll announce it. Until then I have nothing to say about the matter." Meanwhile it looks as if fans will get another game-a-week con trolled television program nest fall with no regional broadcasts oi small college games on the list: that the NCAA's move for a na tionwide eligibility" setup will be overwhelmingly defeated, and that the NCAA is worried a bit about the growing popularity of the pro fessional game. ,. - The 1953 television committee was to submit its report today, along with a- resolution relative to plans wnicn a new group,wnicn takes over Feb. I, will supervise. NO HINT Although Robert J. Sane of Cor nell, chairman of the video com- mittee, and Asa Sushnell, TV pro gram director, declined to hint what would be in the report which goes- into round table discussion .today, some of it leaked out. The resolution will be minus the 1553 mandate which restricted college to a single scheduled ap pearance on the nation-wide hook up, and will urge the new commit tee to look into the possibilities of offering games via delayed tel evision en film, live broadcasts to theaters, and through the various subscriber setups.

Jumped back into the headlines today as a con' tender for Bobo Olson's middle weight title. Dykes, & 2-1 underdog, returned from the ranks of almost forgotten boxers last night when he chopped out ft unanimous decision over promising Joey Giambra in a na tionally televised 10-roand bout. Two vears ago this month, in Miami stadium, Dykes came close to the welterweight throne when he held Kid Gaviian to s spift de cision. A month later, he followed up with a victory over Gil Turner, COMEBACK Then the strtagbean Texan who now calls Miami home lost four tights in a row and his friends fizured he was throughi But after a long layoff, Dykes began a seri ous comeback as a middleweight. Last night, before a crowd oc 3.55S to the Miami Beach Auditor ium, where he has never been beaten, Dykes was a superb boxer and counterpuncher as he slashed his way to a one-sided decision over Giambra, the uua-ranKing middleweight contender. Dykes took the first four rounds and the hard-punching Giambra didn't score clearly until the sixth. when he chased Dykes around the rins and exploded several hard rights to the head that bad Bobby in trouble when tne oea rang. BALLY Dykes rallied strongly in the sev enth, clioainff Giambra with solid blows to the face that started blood flowing from his nose and around his left eye. Needing a knockout to win. Gi ambra tore into Dykes furiously in the late rounds, but Bobby out punched him in most exchanges and escaped without damage. In both the ninth and tenth rounds, he shook Giambra with slashing rights. Judge Carl Gardner gave Dykes seven rounds to two for Giambra and called one even. Judge Morris Feingold scored It 4-3-3 for Dykes and Referee Eddie Coachman gave it to Dykes 6-2-2. 1 CLASSIC tEAGl'S Hogan Selected As Athlete of 1953' ... ?! . 21 K!zm!Jt PrfBtin Ca 5ixut St. O.yitn stte. .
