In lonight's fri-cas with the Cave

cu spark and scoring power as the
v.hitebirds began their long inarch
towards the state tournament

season. Dave Pcpplr, one of ihe

Coach Ray Davis will probably

For the Oregon Tech Owls, the

Ihe defending conference champi

Sharkey Nelson's hnop3lers arc
favored lo walk off with the crown
or the second straight season.
The Owls were recently bolstered
by the addition of three cagers.
two of whom are lettcrmen from
past seasons, but the Vikings off
set the Hoot Birds' growth by add
ing two sparkplugs of last year's
championship team, Ron Ncuow
and Jack VJskov. Vlskov and
coach Nelson had a personal con
flict, but that has been patched.

Palmberg said early this morn
ing, before departing for Portland,
he would open with Charlie Bogle
at center and he will be flanked at
the forward spots by Johnny Fost
er and John McCutcheon. The OTI
guard problem will be carried by
Richie Perkins and Ted Fischer.
Al Cunningham, Terry Blair and
Bobby Whitman, the three late
comers to the Tech squad, are all
making -the trip to Portland and
should jee plenty of action. The
other two members of the 10-man

By JACK HAND
NEW YORK IM Big-time boxing
in New York Is dead. Final serv
ices will be held Jan. 16.
The Boxing Guild of New York
last night voted unanimously not
to dissolve its membership as or
dered by Julius Helfand. chairman
of the New York State Athletic
Commission, who set a Jan. 16
deadline. The guild said It had the
full support of the 16 oilier guild
affiliates.
We've done nothing wrong,"
said Charlie Johnston, president of
the International Boxing Guild, ol
which the local guild Is an affiliate.
We're ready to fight In New York ;
right now. But if he t Helfand) ,
takes our licenses away, we ! -

resigning."
Helfand Isn't backing down ;
either, from the tone of his press
conference yesterday afternoon. He ;
blasted the Monday night televi
sion light promoters who decided :
to move to Baltimore, ettcctive i
Jan. 23, and called one of the Balti
more promoters wilh whom they
will work "Frankle Carbo's rep
resentative." Carbo, according to
Hclland, is a notorious police char-1
acter with a powerful Influence in 1
boxing. i
"I state from the most unlm- j
peachable source that Benny Trot-
ta twho promotes in Baltimore
wilh his son-in-law Angelo Munafoi !
is Carbo's representative in the
city of Baltimore," said Helfand.
"In the last three weeks, previous
to this deal (moving the televised
fights from St. Nicholas Arena In
New York to Baltimore I Ftankie
Carbo and Benny Trotta, whose
real name is Benny Magliano, met
In the city of Baltimore to engi
neer the deal."
Helfand said he would hold a
hearing to see if disciplinary action
was necessary against Tex Sulli
van and Willie Gilzenberg. the St.
Nick's promoters. Under New York i
law. a license can be revoked for I
persistent association with a known
criminal. He said Trotta and Mun
afo have records of arrests.
The two Baltimore promoters
weren't available for comment but
Nick Trotta, Benny's brother, de
nied any dealings between his
brother and Carbo and added that
Munafo was a liquor licensee in
Baltimore, saying, ''In Maryland,
a criminal can't get a Jicense."
Helfand obviously was upset by '
the fact that the Maryland Ath
letic Commission, whose chiirman t
J. Marshall Boone had promised
to support his fight against the
guild, had let him down. In Mary
land. Gov. Theodore R. McKcldin
ordered a "full and immediate" I
investigation of boxing in Maryland
and called on Boone for a "full
and complete report" on the Mon
day night transfer.
