WEEK ENDING SATURDAY. MARCH 23, 19y/ Elston’s *57 Contract With Yanks Brings $12,000 ' BEATING THE GUN BY BILL BROWER “Al Lewis is a Negro, but I per tonally do not think this is signifi cant. He is one of the most loved r>ports figures on the Philadelphia scene. He is an idol of the gram mar and high school sot. And by example displays a ouality that givse credit to his family and cer tainly adds prestige to La Salle College.” Speaking was Bill Snyder, direc tor of public information at the Philadelphia Catholic college. Os course, Lewis has not re ceived the reams of publicity that has gone in Philadelphia contemporary —Wilton Cham berlain— but be has proved himself quite .t b e krtbai) play er for LaSalle.

When he accomplished this against Temple in the Palestra W finite a stir was created Televis ion cameras were on h rut to re. cord the event, witnessed hv sev eral thousands courlside spectators. According to wi non >• arrange ments. an official whistled time out. The floor announcer look the ball from the official, went onto the floor and handed It to Lewis. Temple, as well LaSalle plov ers shook Ai's hand ■ nd backslap ped him after one of his teammates gave him a big bear hug while the crowd waved and cheered With i follow player’s arm j dangling around his nock, Lew is, de!i»'hted but looking a little embarrassed in the spotlight, j walked to the sidcrourt and handed the hail to a friend for safekeeping. All of this was moving and prompted a Philadelphia sports ed itor Ed Pollock of the Bulletin to remark: 'There’s no better way to Im prove human relations than ! through sports." Readers of this column know I how well we agree with this senti- | / mens It’s too bad that the bigots ! 1n the deep South who forced I Jackson, Miss.. College to with draw from NCAA little college competition arc toe blind to see that It’s an almost incredible thing to believe that, because ihe Mississippi Negro college was scheduled to play a white college outside of the state that »uch a diabolical demand would be made, It’s sickening, 100, that the college officials had to kow tow to the bigots. Lewis is an example of how well intercollegiate competition pro motes democracy—and sports are the great equalizer of democracy. During the last Christmas season. LaSalle participated in the Orange Bowl basketball tourney. In look ing back over his career. A! recalls that his participation in that event was his most satisfying athletic ex perience.

LIVINGSTON (For ASP) Californians High In Ring Ratings Two Californians, one a heavy i weight an the other a welter - | weight, have moved into chal i ieng positions in the April ratings published by Ring Magazine, the official “Who’s Who" Gazette oi boxing. The heavyweight is Eddie j M itehen of Redding, (alii, who although not long in the pro ranks, has established himself as the No, 2 man in the division and now looms as the biggest threat to current champ Floyd Patterson. Hold ing knockout wins over such prominent contenders as Nino Valdez and Johnny Holman, and recent winner over veteran Joey Maxim. Machen, whose smooth looks and easy man ner beiie the explosives he carries in his fists, has won some 20 pro fights without a loss. A natural, who was tutored in the manly art of self defense by aai uncle, Eddie's climb up the fistic ladder has been meteoric. In the April ratings he made his big gest jump, moving up to the No. 2 spot among the 10 top contend ing heavyweights. Only funnyman Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson now stands between him and Patter son. The welterweight is Charley S (Tombstone) Smith, winner of 12 straight fights and California, State champ. A capable fighter.; Charley is fast justifying his nickname for his potency as a fistic destroyer. He is ranked No. 10 among the top 10 welterweights, weights. Few' changes were affected in the overall ratings, but Yolande Pompey of Trinidad boosted his ’ stock among the light-heavys by j jumping from the No. 5 to the, No. 2 spot, and Orlando Zulueta j of Cuba moved up a notch from No. 6 to No. 5 among the light weights.
