Boston at Detroit
By United Press International
Only six more victories separate
the high flying Boston Celtics
from the all-time National Basket
ball Assn. consecutive victory
streak of 18 set 13 years ago by
the Washington Capitols.-
The Celtics took advantage of
three offensive fouls by the usual
ly composed Dolph Schayes in the
final period Sunday to beat the
Syracuse Nationals, 132-127, for
their 12th straight victory.
Schayes, who wound up with 32
points, drew two successive charg
ing fouls with the Celtics in front
120-119, and two minutes remain
ing. He fouled out at that point
and Boston quickly widened its
margin to win going away.
Bill Sharman, who contributed
some key points late in the game,
was Boston's top scorer with 30,
while Bob Cousy had 23 and Tom
Ileinsohn chipped in with 20.
In Sunday's other games, the
New Y'ork Knickerbockers helped
new Coach Carl Braun celebrate
his home debut by whipping the
Cincinnati Royals, 132-118, and the
St. Louis Hawks widened their
Western Division lead to 5',
games by defeating the Detroit
Pistons, 102-86.
Segregation
Draws Blast
From Gibson
NORFOLK. Va. (AP)-'This is
a sport, an international thing
And yet you have some people
sitting here and some people sit
ting there."
Indignant over the segregated
seating of an audience at the City
Arena Sunday was Althea Gibson.
32, who recently turned profes
sional after a reign as queen of
the world's lady amateur tennis
players.
"I don't like it," exlaimed the
Negro star. "I didn't know this
sort of thing still existed."
Miss Gibson played an exhibi
tion match with Karol Fageros,
white, of Miami, prior to a bas
ketball game featuring the Har
lem Globetrotters. Miss Gibson is
tour with the Globetrotter
troupe.
After her match, she appeared
calmer as she said:
"There's only one difference be
tween us our color. Our eyes are
the same; our mouths are the
same.
'Do these people (the white
spectators) think there is such a
big difference that they have to
sit by themselves?
I don't want to skirt the law,
but there must be something
wrong with the law. Just think
adults acting like this."
Virginia law requires segre
gated seating of spectators at pub
lic functions. The law is being
challenged in a U.S. District Court
suit here.

Liberty Bowl
Said Success
PHILADELPHIA AP The
inaugural Liberty Bowl football
game here Saturday could be con-i
sidered a financial if not an
artistic success.
Unofficial figures Indicate that
Pcnn State and Alabama each are
getting about $10.5,000, The pro
moters of the East's first major
bowl game saw the test break
records and turn a small profit.
Bud Dudley, who with his part
ner, George Kerrigan, nursed the
Liberty Bowl from a brain storm
aooul :sr? years ago to a live
spectacle before 36,211 fans, was
enthusiastic about the future of
the event.
'It was a wonderful start, bet
ter than the first effort of such
bowls as the Sugar and Orange,"
said Dudley. This vigorous man
of ideas pointed out that the initial
Orange Bowl game drew less than
6,000, while the first Sugar Bowl
effort entertained about 25,000.

Somebody Goofed
GRANTS PASS AP A 52-52
tie resulted In a Saturday high
school basketball game between
Roseburg and Grants Pass.
When the final buzzer sounded
the scoreboard showed 52-51 in
favor of Grants Pass. The crowd
and most of the players left.
A rcclicck of scoring table
figures showed a mistake. Press,
radio and team scorers all
agreed on a 52-point total for
Roseburg.
Tiit official oorer finally
agreed he had failed to enter a
fourth quarter free throw by
Roseburg's Bill Mundt.
Since most players were gone
and the teams do not meet again
this season, the game was ruled
a tie a basketball rarity.
The previous night Roseburg
shaded Grants Pass 55-54. This
two-game series left Roseburg
4-1-1 and Grants Pass 1-4-1 so
far this season.
Syndicate
Raises Hopes
In Promotion
NEW YORK (AP)-A 10-man
syndicate headed by Roy M
Cohn appeared today to be gain
ing ground in its efforts to pro
mote a return heavyweight title
fiht between champion Ingemar
Johansson and challenger Floyd
Patterson in New York next June.
Cohn, a former assistant U.S.
attorney general who once served
as counsel to a Senate investigat
ing subcommittee headed by the
late Senator Joseph R. McCarthy,
confirmed that his group has pur
chased two thirds stock interest
in the now defunct Rosensohn En
terprises, Inc., from Vincent J.
Velella.
He said he hoped to obtain the
one third interest held by William
P. Rosensohn and insure a
title fight at Yankee Stadium next
summer.
Cohn said the purchase price
was substantial but declined to
name the figure. Velella reported
ly had sought $150,000 for his
stock. Velella is a New York law
yer who has been barred from
promoting fights in this state by
the New York State Athletic
Commission.
He is under indictment for per
jury as an aftermath of the first
Johansson - Patterson fight last
summer in which the Swedish
fighter won the world champion
ship by knocking out Patterson
in three rounds.

'Infant1 Bowl

HOUSTON fAP) The infant

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)-The new
pro football league was confronted
today with a fresh challenge in
Minneapolis-St. Paul by loyalists
of the National League and a man
from out of the sport's frontier
days.
"If the National League extends
us a franchise we expect to be
operating in 1960," said Ole
Haugsrud, Duluth sportsman and
tobacco wholesaler who owned the
Duluth Eskimoes in the NFL more
than three decades ago.
With his $25,000 earnest money
check to league headquarters went
an application that bore the signa
ture, among others in the combine,
of Ernie Nevers of San Francisco,
one of football's all-time greats
and a member of the old
Eskimoes.
Haugsrud's application, and the
apparent encouragement it re
ceived from several NFL owners,
signaled another collision between
forces of the National League and
the new American Football
League over the Twin Cities terri
tory.
The AFL evidently is set to op
erate here. H. P. Skoglund, part
owner of the Minneapolis-St. Paul
AFL team, said "We intend to go
right down the line with the Amer
ican League no matter what happens."
Reports that he and fellow own
ers might be planning a shift to
the NFL themselves have no foun
dation, he said.
Haugsrud said he has talked
witn sever, or eieht National
League owners and was advised
to make his application. "I was
told the National League definitely
will add two teams in 1960," he
said.
An estimated million dollars
would be needed to get an NFL
team going in the Twin Cities.
Haugsrud said. He claimed to
have enough backing from area
businessmen to raise the money.
In Philadelphia, acting NFL
Commissioner Austin Gunsel said
the application by Haugsrud's
group would be considered along
with others at the league meeting
next month.
