N.Y., Ifl Art I Devlin, the "old" war horse of American ski Jumping, Is hot on the comeback trail after a seven year bout with an Injured knee. At 31, the Lake Placid veteran hn.vinir one of his best vears and hopes to regain the crown Irom the young Norwegian nt Portland. Ore., later this month. FIFTH CROWN Devlin won his fifth major crown ol the season Sunday when he defeated a star-studded field in the Nansen Ski Club's internation al championship at Berlin, N.H. And. wltl his knee as good as new for the first time since 1947, Art figures he has "six or eight" more years of competition In him oelore he nans nis skis on me wall of his crowded trophy room. Since he began Jumping 27 years ago, at the age of 4, Devlin has collected almost every ski jump ing title In the book snort ol a world or an Olympic champion ship. CHAMPION He is a four-time U.S. National champion 1942, 1946, 1949 and 1960 and scored a grand slam In 1949 and 1930 by adding the Canadian title, bad knee and an. Ills tremendous 307-foot leap at Steamboat Springs, Colo., in 1950 still stands as the longest Ameri can Jump. But his 416-foot leap at Oberstdon, uermany, in io3 was fur short of the world record of 462 feet. All told, he has made more than 440 competitive jumps. Devlin attributes his current big year to the final healing of the knee he banged up In 1947 at Leavenworth, Wash. The hill had been prepared for a maximum lean, of 2fO feet. Art soared 288 feet and landed on bare ground, damaging knee tendons and a cartilage. Jimmy Byrne, a swarming. rouahhause heavyweight from Port land, will try to add to his fistic prestige Saturday night at the Ar mory against Al Winn, valleio. Calif., Negro when boxing returns to Klamath Falls after a long holiday. Both are punchers although Byrne will carry more weight behind bis wallops. Byrne weighed 216 when he stopped Big BUI Mathis of Eureka. C&lif., last week In Portland in three rounds. Winn, at - 190, Is a combination boxer-puncher, a 21- year-old comer in the opinion ol California ring writers. BAD LICK He has had 12 pro fights, after some 40 fights in the amateur ranks. He lost two of his pro out bids but his manager. Guido Oio- mettl. savs both were more because of bad luck, a broken thumb and cut eve. He holds a draw with Mathis after coming off the floor five times mminst the 260 cound Eurekan. Mathis was out on his feet at the end of elcht beats. Odds are better than even the heavvweteht brawl Saturday night will end snort 01 me scneauiea iu rounds. Winn's stablematc, Kenny wii Hams, is a promising , 20-year-oiu Negro with four knockout wins in five liirhts and a decision.

All Phog Allen's boys need now Is a victory over Missouri Saturday to clinch their third successive con ference crown and another trip to the NCAA Championships. Allen Kelley, 6-9 B. H. Born and Harold Patterson, all veterans of last year's scrappy finalists, starred as Kansas Jumped off to a 20-10 first quarter lead over Colorado's sophomore weighted team. Born, successor to Clyde Lovellette, the 1953 hero, led all the scorers with 23 points while restricting Colorado star Burdette Haldorson to S. Kelley chipped in More Sports Page 10 Ezz Up, Pep Down NEW YORK M Ezzard Char les has replaced Cuba's Nino Val- des as the No. I- neavywcignt con tender. Willie Pep has dropped to the bottom of the featherweight rankings, and Eddie Chavez has taken over the No. 1 position among the lightweights. These were among the major changes made in the March -Ring Magazine ratings, released Tues day by editor Nat Fleischer. Valdrs lost his top-ranking be cause of his very close decision over unranked Archie McBride In a Havana bout. The big Cuban dropped to second behind the for mer heavyweight champion who gets another crock at the heavy weight crown June 17 when he meets Rocky Marciano.

FIRST IN POLL Kentucky, which regained first place In the Associated Press poll today, shared the spotlight with Kansas by walloping Alabama 68 43 to complete its schedule with 24-0 mark. The Wildcats, only undefeated -team In the country, still haven't assured themselves of the Southeastern Conference crown however. They need more than a perfect record - because Louisiana State also has a clean conference record after Its 76-63 victory over Mis sissippi. The Bayou Tigers, who took over the No. 7 spot in the poll, still must, beat Tulane March 6. If they win that one, as ex pected, they'll meet Kentucky for the conference crown and NCAA bid at Nashville March 9.
