Ring Card
Promoter Mack Llllard ha.s
signed two new, but outstanding
welterweights tor the main event
of the Second Annunl Ralph Welscr
Benefit boxing card this Thursday
evening at the armory, as the Ilrst
boxing show of the season unloids
before the public, and for a very
worth while cause.
Dick Jones, one of the South
west's fastest rising welters, tan
gles with Seattle's YoYo Lewis in
the 10-round main event to top a
card that will be used to main
tain the Welser Children's Fund,
which was established last Decem
ber upon the death of Ralph Wels
er. The Beatty Bomber died after
an armory fight with Teddy Hall of
Seattle.
Tre Welser Committee then
staged a benefit card with all 01
(he net proceeds being set up in a
trust fund for the five children ot
the popular Bcatly battier. It was
a tremendous success last yeai
and is again expected to provide
the youngsters ol in? late Welser
a more pleasant liie. Euice the
opening of the fund, the five child
ren have received approximately
90o m help.
Jones, who originally called
Klamath Falls his hometown, has
been setting the Southwest light
circles afire with some spiendid
boxing performances and a red
hot record, both as an amateur
and professional. The 146-pounder
has won 18 of 19 pro fighls, 10
of which have come via the knock
out route. The only loss suffered
by Jones was on a close decision
to Eddie Williams, the welter
weight champion of the Southwest.
Fighting out of U s same stable
ns Jimmy Martinez ana Charlie
Salas, the 22-ycar-old battler has
been a crowd-plcater in several
top ring towns including Tucson
and Phoenix. Seven of Lewis' 13
bouts have been main event ap
pearances. SHARP-SHOOTING
The amateur record of Jones, a
sharp-shooting puncher with a solid
left-hook as his main weapon, is
Just as Impressive as his 18 of
19 In pro ranks. Dick won 37 of
42 amateur fights before turning
pro, these coming In Portland and
Salem fight arenas as well as In
'Arizona action.
Jones' opponent for the evening's
top bout will be no new name to
Pacific Northwest fight fans. YoYo
Lewis Is regarded as one of the
niost popular fighters ever to ap
pear In Northwest rings. Three
times this year, Lewis has been
selected as the "Must Popular
Fighter." In Spokane, Vancouver,
B.C. and Tacoma, these honors
were given to the 147-pound Ne
gro for his stylish boxing.
The record compiled by Lewis,
like Jones' Is very brllilant. In
cluded In the long list of glove
triumphs by Lewis Is a 10-round
decision over Blackle Venderveor
a local favorite a short time back.
Besides the main event, which
may develop into the best exhibi
tion or ooxing since the Jimmy
Orow-Ralph Welser fight last sea
son, Linaid has five other top bouts
plus the evening's special, a lea
tured battle between Bogglo Uul
lagher and Larry Lewis, two five
year olds from Chiloquin. These
two 35 pounders have stolen the
show in several previous meetings
and will open the benellt program
Thursday night.
SEMI-WINDUP
In the six round scml-windup,
hard-hitting Donnle Pickard of
Chiloquin will test the punches oa'
Qeorgle Dixon of Seattle. Pickard
Is rated b many as the next
"big name" of local boxing talent,
and his reputation will bo at stake
In the "Turkey Day" bout. Dixon
lost a clow decision to Ralph
Welser In U53 and Is one ot Scat
tie's leading preliminary battlers.
Another six rounder will pit Porky

orf Sees Better
Sports Years At Cal
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Uni
versity of California athletic for
tunes, at their lowest ebb In hls
tory, are about to take a turn for
the better, Coach Lynn (Pappy)
waioori predicts.
The biggest school In the West
(enrollment around 20,000) has
been beaten at every major sport
three years due to a down cycle,
says Pappy, that is ending.
During the past year we've
been licked at football, basket

Waldorf, "but I think you'll no

Free Throws
Up Scoring
Pace In NBA
NEW YORK (UP) The present
National Basketuall Association
season promises to be the highest
scoring in history, and the rise is
directly traceable to free throw
shooting.
The NBA reported today that In
27 games played so far In th
young season, teams have scored
an average of 96. S points per game
compared to an average of 92.6
at the same tima last year. The
difference can be quickly found In
the free throw department, where
the average has jumped from 26.9
per game to 30.7.
The scoring splurge has seen at
least one team go over the 100
mark in 10 of the 27 games. Five
times both teams did it, with St.
Louis turning in the season high
of 131 points against New York
on Nov. 15.
The battle for the individual
scoring leadership remained vague
mis weex, witn nuge Clyde Lovel
lette of Minneapolis hanging onto
the overall lead only because his
team has played more games.
Lovellcttc has tallied 178 points
in nine games to lead second-plao
Maurice Siokes, the Rochester
rookie, wild 145 in seven.
Lovellette and Stokes are fol
lowed by Larry Foust of Fort
Wayne with 140 points and the
Philadelphia aces, Paul Arlzin and
defending champion Nell Johnston,
ui eacn.
Hiu cn the basis of average
points per game, Lovellette stands
only sixth In the league. Bob Pettit
of St. Louis, who has played only
nve games, is nisi with 2o.O points
per game, followed by Arlzin and
Johnston at 23.2, Stokes at 20.7.
and Foust at 20.0.
Rookie Stokes hung onto the
leadership in rebounds with a total
of 122 to 119 for Lovellette. But
Pettit again had the best per game
mark with a total of 102 or 20.4
per game.
Ariztn holds the lead In field
goal marksmanship, sinking .485
of his shots to .409 for Ernie Bar
rett of Boston. Adolph Schayes of
Syracuse is tops on free throws,
sinking 40 of 53 for an .808 mark
to .854 for Slitter Martin of Minne
apolis. Andy Phillip of Fort Wayne
and Dick McQuire of New York
are tied in assists with 57.
Johnston has the season's single-
irnnie nign ot 37 points against

have we had good teams In the
last few years."
Waldorf, who announces that he
will be back at the old stand
coaching the California football
team next fall for the 10th year,
says that the freshman teams in
all the major sports are better
this year.
"We are on our way up. We had
a good frosh football team, and
last year we had fine freshmen
basketball and track teams; and
an unbeaten freshman baseball
team," says Waldorf.
FAMILIAR CYCLE
"With very few exceptions,
you'll find that athletic superior
ity goes in cycles at all schools.
We had It here at Cal when we
went to the Rose Bowl three years
in a row when I first took over as
football coach; there was a while
when It was at Stanford when the
Indians went to the Rose Bowl
three years In a row; and then It
was at Southern California.
"The same thing happened in
the Big Ten when I was there
Minnesota, Michigan and other
schools holding sway for a few
years, then dropping down to the
second division."
University of California athletic
department supports 22 sports on
Its campus and the major
source of revenue, of course,
comes from the football team.
For the first time In many
years, the attendance dropped be
low the 200,000 mark this year
194,000 to be exact. So It Is ob
vious that the school Is going to
have to put out a winning football
team to support the other sports.
SOME SUNSHINE
But Waldorf, who Is the world's
most pessimistic coach when he
Is winning, from the depth of the
well that saw his team win only
two games this year, sees nothing
except sunshine ahead.
When California, was at the top
of the heap, other coaches pre
dicted that due to the huge enroll
ment, California always would be
a top gridiron power in the fu-,ure.
"They've got the ball rolling at
Cal now," was the quote, "and all
the high school stars want to go
where there Is a winner. That plus
the big enrollment will make Cal
a power In all major sports In the
future."
But the Ooldcn Bear recruiting
agencies apparently slacked off
and settled back with a feeling of
complacency when they were at
the top.
"The worst Is over," beams
Pappy, "and now we're on our
way back to the heights."
Kircher
Fired As
WSC Boss
PULLMAN, Wash. W Alton
Kircher, a "nice guy" who couldn't
win, was fired as football coach
at Washington State College last
night after four years of trying.
He had another season to go on
a 12.500-a-year contract but WSC
said it is buying him out and will
take its time picking a successor.
He had a poor 1-7-2 record this
fall.
Klrcher's two chief assistants,
Dale Gentry and Mike Scarry,
were also let out. Dan Stavely, the
freshman coach, will stay on.
'I don't know what I il do."
Kircher said. "I don't even know
whether I'll stick with coaching
any more."
Even before the firing, mere was
string of suggested replace
ments. They ranged from Ray
Hobbs coach of the unbeaten lo
cal high school team, to Johnny
Lujack. an assistant with the Chi
cago Bears.
Kircher got the Job her; In 1952
by popular demand when Forest
Evashevski quit to go to Iowa. He
was a man everybody liked but In
four seasons he never had a win
nin&r team.
He came here as an assistant
to Evashevski and was regarded
as his chief strategist. They had
a fine 7-3 record In 1951. Alone.
Kircher was 4-6 for three years
running, then 1-7-2.
He iunked the single wing and
went Into a split-T offense this sea
son. It se dom worked, ine cou
gars were thumped 50-12 by USC,
13-0 bv Kansas, os-0 Dy ucija,
14-7 by Oregon State, 30-0 by Col
lege of Pacific. 35-0 by Oregon and
27-7 by Washington. They managed
to tie San Jose and caiuornia aim
beat Idaho 9-0.
Alumni discontent grew weeKiy
but there were few if any per
sonal words against Kircher.
It was a hard decision to re
lease a perfect gentleman like Al
Kircher," said a WSC statement
on the discharge. "However, we
believe circumstances dictate that
we employ a new football coach
ing staff."
President C. uiement rrencn
said the decision to relieve Kirch
er was made on recommendation
of Stan Bates, WSC athletic director.
Kircher. a great all-around ath
lete at Michigan State in his col
lege days, said he has the highest
regard for the Job Bates is doing
'I hope Wis is ine answer 10
the football situation at WSC," he
and has confidence in the administration.
Kircher was virtually "drafted"
for the Job here. He had a chance
to go to Iowa with Evashevski but
WSC at the urging of alumni and
signed a five-year contract at
school officials.
"I'm sorry," he said Monday
night, "that things haven't worked
out the way they were expected."
Ironically, Klrcher's 15-year-old
son, Bob, Is a tackle on the Pull
man High School team which
hasn't been beaten in two years.

Thriller
Forseen
By Coach
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (UP) Eddie
Erdelatz professed today to have
no idea what to expect from either
for its fifth victory In six starts
team when his Navy squad guns
against Army Saturday.
Powerful Navy probably will go
into the game a six and a half
point favorite, but Erdelatz, one
of the canniest coaches in the busi
ness, had nothing but a clouded
crystal ball before him when asked
about the 56th renewal of the sew
ice football classic before 102,000
at Municipal Stadium in Philadel
phia.
"We'll be in there working
Saturday," Erdelatz said in the
understatement of the week.
"But," he added, "The only thing
I know about it for sure is that
it will be a thriller. I never heard
of an Army-Navy game that
wasn't."
Erdelatz did concede that Navy
will be at full strength although
team captain and guard John Hop
kins will wear a face mask to
protect his injured lower left Jaw.
Halfback Chet Burchett has fully
recovered from an ankle injury.
Erdelatz hasn't seen Army this
year but he said all reports indi
cated the Cadets had a "very good
line, very fast, very aggressive
and with good team work."
The Navy coach asserted it
would be a mistake to base tactics
on last year "because you never
know what to expect in an Army
Navy game."
Nonetheless, certain compari
sons seem in order. Last year Navy
dumped Army 27-20 chiefly by
passing against a battering Army
ground game. The same thing
could happen this year.
An air-minded Navy team head
ed by the brilliant George Welsh
Erdelatz calls him the best quar
terback he has ever coached
went to the top of the nation in
passing while bowling over five
opponents, losing to Notre Dame
and tying Duke.
Welsh broke an academy record
this year with 76 of 122 passes
completed for 1,143 yards. Satur
day the little 164 pound-wizard will
have the receivers t,o throw to.
Ron Beagle, Navy All-America
end, is a bearcat on offense and
defense alike. So are the two Mid
dles who will share duties at the
other end, Earle Smith and Jim
Owen. Welsh, and his backfield
mates Ned Oldham, Burchett, and
fullback Dick Guest, are good de
fensively. Army stuck pretty much to the
ground In winning five out of eight.
The Cadets depended on fullback
Pete Uebel pounding through the
middle and end sweeps by Pete
Lash, Mike Ziegler and Bobby
Kyasky to ground out a rushing
average of 284 yards a game.
