Jr ^ ^ + + Jr ^ ^ ^ X WINNER MAY GET SHOT AT BOMBER IN MID-SUMMER Bob Favored By Fedor, But Betting Is On Negro Walloper By SID FEDER CLEVELAND, Feb. 23.— (ffl—The winning streaks of the two hot men of the heavyweights, Bob Pastor and Lem Franklin, collide tomor row night, and out of the collision the winner may get a midsummer night’s dream with Joe Louis—if they’re still dreaming this sum mer. Lem and Bob have been some what warmer than chill in their recent endeavors and as a result, the faithful are flocking ’round in large numbers for the festivities. Promoter Bob Brickman is posi tively chortling over the tune the cash registers are singing. With some $44,000 in advance sales al ready in the strong box, Promoter j Bob wouldn’t be at all surprised! if some 13,000 cash customers cram the arena and kick in to a gross gate of $55,000 by the 10:30 p.m. (EWT) post-time tomorrow. Franklin’s record of 19 in a row i since 1939 and Pastor's neat string of ten straight since he bowed to j Billy Conn in September 1940 make up the gaudiest goings-on among all the heavies, except for Louis himself, in all that time. So this particular party, in addition to shaping up as a pretty fair coun try clout session, also has a direct bearing on just what delicacies will be served up to Joe when the warm weather sets in. If Uncle Sam gives his okay. That’s why a load of the boxing writers from New York, Chicago and Detroit, as well as Promoter Mike Jacobs, are pouring into town for the current festivities. Some time after Louis’ scheduled chore with Conn in June, Jacobs is figuring on an outdoor extrava ganza, with possibly the Army, Navy and Marines cutting in. The fellow on whom Louis tries his target practice on that occasion may very well step up front and center here tomorrow. Pastor already has had two cracks at the bomber, riding his bicycle to go the ten-round route once and coming up off the floor six times to last 11 rouhds the second time. However, in the last cessfully on such subjects as Tur key Thompson, Booker Beckwith and Gus Lesnevich. This corner likes the 28-year-old ex-New York collegian to outgal lop Lem to a ten-round decision, despite the fact the local negro thumper is the 5 to 8 choice among the loeal price-makers. Lem gets the betting call largely because of that right hand rifle he carries around with him. This is always loaded, as the last eight gladiators, who became too curious, discov ered. Among these were Abe Si mon and Toony Musto, a couple of citizens Louis also worked on. But off his last outing, when he made light-heavyweight Boss Gus Lesnevich look like an amateur, Pastor still is among the best box ers in the business, able to be fuddle an opponent unless that ri val is especially rapid in the “think department.” Lem will let you know tomorrow night how he feels about that. 2 -V Cardinal Hurlers Open Camp; Squad Due Friday ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 23. ■—UP)—Pitcher Harry Brecheen sign ed his contract today, but too late to participate in the St. Louis Car dinals’ first spring workout. Other pitchers who missed the drill because ot unsigned contracts were Harry Humbert, Max Lanier and Murray Dickson, and ftfanager Billy Southworth was advised Henry Nowak, right-hander from the New Orleans club, would be lost to the Army next Monday. The battery men went through a two and one-quarter hour drill to day. The entire squad is not due until Friday. T AH A V AT LEA|,,N« lUUAI THEATRES I ^ | Startling! =*=' -I' ' Shocking!

Pitcher Les Hinckle and Third Sacker Bert Haas report ed for action. CAUSEYTOOFFER WELL-BALANCED WRESTLING CARD Rough And Tumble And Scientific Matches Will Feature Program Having rounded up four excep tionally good men. Promoter Bert Causey expects the wrestling card to be" presented Friday night at 8:30 o’clock at Thalian Hall to be one of the best he has offered here. This week’s, program will bring together four huskies—two o^yhem rough as pig iron and two as scien tific as they come on the mat to day. Ed Stranger White, who is no stronger in the local ring, will bat tle Dick Lever, the Tennessee Roughouse in the main go. The semi-final will see Big Abe Yourist, outstanding Jewish wrest ler, matched against Chief Little Beaver, in a battle of speed and science. Causey says he doesn’t know which will be the best match but said taking things on the whole the program should be one of gen uine appeal. He expects the White - Lever match to be ecually as rough and bitter as the clash here last week between the Swedish Angel and Lever. Lever is one of those fellows who believes in roughing it and in going against White he is facing another of the cauliflower maulers who believes in dishing it out. For this reason, Causey says, the crowd should be in for plenty of action, and, of course, plenty of excitement before the evening is over. Doors at Thalian hall will open promptly at 7 o’clock with the first match beginning at 8:30 o’clock. Card's “Old Pete" Is Broken: Max Be Jinx ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23. — UP) — "Old Pete” has been hurt and the St. Louis Cardinals have crossed their ringers in the hope the mishap doesn’t presage a series of injuries the like of which so hampered 1941 pennant aspirations. In case you aren’t up on your me chanical baseball. “Old Pete” is that rubber-armed, steel-shanked hurler of baseballs during batting practice. The machine broke in two at Archer, Fla., 140 miles from the Cards’ camp at St. Petersburg, where batterymen began their spring labors today. It was being towed behind Scout Joe Mathes’ automobile. While Kranch Rickey, vice presi dent and general manager, expressed confidence his pitching machine could be repaired before Friday when the rest of the squad is dhe to report, more superstitious citizens pointed out that in only 23 contests last season did the Cardinals field a completely regular lineup. Such power hitters as the New York Yankees get along fairly well without the services of "Old Pete” or one of his brothers in steel but you have the word of several veteran baseballers that the mechanical moundsmen can be an important part of conditioning hitters. The Cards began using the me chanical contrivance last year and while many players snubbed it many others stood by the hour be fore “Old Pete's” monotonous ability to throw strikes in the toughest spots. ^ *7A* yeaVKouncL LAST DAY Teature At: 11:45 - 1:41 - 3:3? _5:3fi - 7:33 - 9:31_ LATEST UNIVERSAL NEWS OPEN DAILY 11:00 A.

If the pair repeat the victory next year, the trophies will be per manently retired. Mrs. Stearns and Mr. Corbett also took the putting contest with a total of 26 putts for the 18 holes. A brisk wind and cold weather kept the scores in the annual tour nament somewhat higher than the averages in past years. Most of the entries were grouped around 75 at the conclusion of their rounds. Low gross was won by Miss Ag nes Morton and her father, Julian Morton with a 79- Miss Morton and her father also finished second place in the tournament with a 75, one stroke behind the leaders.

Gorsica ha^s returned two contracts unsigned. Newsom seldom shows up at a spring drill on time and it was a toss-up whether it was this habit or refusal to take a reported stiff salary cut that kept him away. Hurlers Paul (Dizzy) Trout and Lynwote (Schoolboy) Rowe, also holdouts, participated in today’s workout under a new rule permit ting unsigned players to practice. -V “Y” FIVE DEFEATS 11TH MARINE TEAM Triangles Beat Leather necks 53-32; Hanover Meets YMCA Wed. The YMCA basketeers scored their second win in two weeks over the 11th Marines on the “Y” court last night, taking the visitors by a 53 32 margin. The game was much closer than the score would indicate, the Trian gles leading by only 4 points with ten minutes of the final half re maining. The locals led by 24-15 at the intermission but saw this lead whittled away in the early nr -utes Of the second period. Better pass work and better shooting enabled them to rally and win going away at the final whistle. Davis and North led the “Y” scor ing with 14 and 13 points respec tively while Adams was high gun for the Marines with 11. Clashing for the third time this season, the New Hanover High school cagers and the “Y” Varsity team will play a benefit game at the YMCA Wednesday night. The proceeds of the contest will go to help defray the expenses of two boys who have been injured in bas ketball during the last few weeks In the initial game played on the court early in the season, the Triangles came of the victors by a narrow margin but later had the tables turned on them when they played a return match on the High school maple. This time the Wild cats staged a fourth period rally to ice the game and give the scholas tic a tie in games won and lost. Wednesday’s game will close the season for the High school team, while *<fce Triangles are still due for a severe test the final stages of the City loop play.

Loftis And Seward Pace Duke In Swamping Terp Team COLLEGE PARK, Md., Feb. 23.— (A>)—One very good basketball play er wasn’t enough to beat five good ones tonight and Duke defeated the University of Maryland handily, 64 to 46. , The Terp center, Ernie Davis, dropped 18 points to win scoring honors easily and account for near ly one-third of his club’s total. The Kiue D'evils shared the burden more evenly with two men getting ten points and thri team-mates scor ing nine each. Maryland kept pace with the visi tors for the first 10 minutes of the ball game despite the fact that Travis didn’t get off to an early scoring start. Then the Blue Devils began to pull away and led at 29 to 18 at the half. In the second half, Travis found the range, getting five of his six field goals. At the same time, Duke’s Seward, Gantt, McCahan and Loftis brothers were also peppering away, keeping the North Carolina club well in front. Seward and C. Loftis had 10' points apiece.

PUPILS PROTEST AGAINST END OF ATHLETICS Students Strike As Univer sity Prexy Orders Sports Curtailed OMAHA, Feb. 23.—(/B—Rebellion against wartime curtailment of Omaha university’s athletic pro gram snowballed into a student strike today with leaders demand ing that Presdient Rowland C. Hayr.es resign. Most liberal arts classrooms emptied as a series of mass meet ings gained strike supporters dur ing the day. Defense classes were not affected. The university has a day enrollment of about 800. “This is no holiday,” said Robert Spellmeyer, a student spokesman, as he urged strikers to sign their class rolls and continue to get as signments from their teachers. Officers of nine undergraduate organizations conducting the dem onstration placarded their meet ings with posters showing Haynes ] cracking the whip over the board of regents and charging he was a dictator. They issued a manifesto accusing him of being “consistent ly unfair” in dealings with the fac ulty, hurting the municipal school with his financial policies and try ing to control the regents. Haynes, former president of the National Association of Municipal, Universities, was out of town today and said he would have no com ment on the situation until his ex pected return tomorrow. “I am an employe of the board of regents and the board can do anything it wants,” he declared Dale Clark, president of the re gents, also declined comment. The regents approved Haynes’ plan last week to drop North Cen tral conference football and basket ball competition. Hayr.es said the action was caused by a wartime shortage of athletes and a need to curtail expenses. Affiliations with the conference were not severed. The students’ statement today charged the alleged plan to end all intercollegiate activities was to have been kept secret but news of it leaked out. The faculty commit tee on athletics has not met for two years and athletic heads have been virtually deposed by finance office representatives, the students declared. 3 ir CAROLINA BATTLES RICHMOND TONIGHT % Tarheel Cagers Prep For Last Home Game, Meet Duke Friday CHAPEL HILL, Feb. 23. — (£>) — Tlie Carolina “Merry-Go-Round” to day tuned up for its final home stand, but the speedy little Bantams appeared tired and off-form after their tough northern trip, and Coach Bill Lange was apprehensive of Tuesday night's home finale -with Richmond U. The game will start at 8:30, fol lowing a freshman scrap with Ra leigh High at 7 o’clock. This will be Richmond’s last contest of the sea son. Carolina has one other date at Duke for Friday night. Richmond has a tall, rangy, sharpshooting outfit. Captain Mac Pitt, Jr., and Swede Erickson, who have led the scorers for two years, are also grid stars. Lanky Doc Thistlethwaite is another standout at center. “Speed” Louis Miller is only 5 feet 9, but Doc Savage and the others range from 6-0 to 6-2. The Spiders have not one but three dangerous scoring thrc:J=. Pitt hit an 18 and Miller a 16 on V.M.I. and in the W. and L. scrap Erickson scored 13, Pitt 12, and Miller 7. -V You Can’t Stay Champ, Paper Reminds Highe COLUMBIA, S'. C„ Feb. 23.—(iP)_ A former employer today advised Kirby Higbe. the Brooklyn Dodgers’ ace pitcher, that “it is hard to re main a champ.” An editorial in th^ States, Co lumbia morning newspaper in whose mailing room Higbe has often work ed, had this to say in “an open let ter to a friend” about Higbe’s re fusal to report to the Dodger camp at Havana because transportation was not arranged also for his wife: “If he avoids complications Higbe will make more money this summer than the average man does in 15 years! He possibly can keep that up for several additional sea sons. But great arms such as his do not last forever. “You want to stay on top. You want to be better this year than last—not to rest ,on your cars You are the man that all the other twirle’-s hope to outstrip. And so you .above all others, must get down to business to stay out front. It is hard to remain a champ.” Higbe a native of Columbia, has occasional substituted for his brother in driv ing a newspaper circulation truck. The Sports Trail _ With _ WHITNEY MARTIN World) — The average golfer is disgusted when he knocks the ball all over the course. Joe Kirkwood has knocked a golf ball all over the world, and he isn’t kicking. His on ly regret is that there are two spots he hasn’t hit—Alaska and Russia. Otherwise, he’s touched every type of course in every state and nation, from the impromptu Texas oil field links where the spectators went on horseback because, he was informed afterward, the rattle snakes were staging a blitz, to an unbelievably beautiful layout in re mote Calcutta. The pleasant, well - set - up gentleman with the surgeon’s hands is here right now giving demonstrations of his amazing trick shots at the national sportsmen’s show and combin ing humor, instruction and philosophy in his lectures aim ed at the gar-mouthed crowds and delivered in a thin, high-. pitched voice. Golf, he says, should be played as much as possible during the current emergency. It not only is great for relazation, if played prop erly, but it is a fine conditioner, and its value in eye-training to the prospective soldier, particularly as to judgement of distance, was prov ed in the last war. In England, he amplifies, golf is being carried on to as great an ex tent as conditions will permit, and it is so highly regarded by the mili tary authorities that Henry Cctton, great British player, afterN qualify ing^ for a commission in aviation was ordered to spend his time giv ing golf exhibitions. Kirkwood gives an insight into the tenacity, thoroughness and con centration of cur common enemy, the Japanese, based on his visits to that country. • A dozen years ago, he explains, he ar.d Walter Hagen toured Japan. There were 30 courses, and the American pair received $1,500 for eacfi -of a series of exhibition matches. They didn’t lose a match. Nine years later they returned to find 150 first-class courses, and they won two in a long series of exhibitions. He explains the secret of the Japanese improvement by the fact that the Nipponese prac tice more than they play. It was nothing, he said, to see 40 or 50, or even 60 players out on the huge expanses set aside for pitching and putting and driving, practicing, practicing, practicing. Kirkwood- has one pet theory which he harps upcr.—relaxation. “Tension is the most damaging factor in all games,” he points out T‘n golf, the hands control the body. That is, if the hands are tense, the entire body is tense. “Also, a too active mind is a handicap. The slow, deliberate thinker is best. That’s why I be lieve the Scots are good golfers, and why Texans, with their delib erate, unruffled dispositions, so oft en excell.” Kirkwood also thinks the aver age golfer would play better if he used fewer clubs, although, he says, expressing an obvious truth: “The players like to look the part of golfers, even if they can’t play.” Kirkwood has found that specta tors at his exhibitions are most in terested in duffer shots as he dem onstrates them, as they always strike close to home. They are most amazed, however, by' hi s truck of swinging two clubs at once, hitting two balls, and having the balls cross in the air. They can’t hit one ball and make ; it cross a pond. 3 New River Marines Win Top Golden Gloves Bouts - w Lightweights Eugene Kier man, Tony Yutch Win Carolina Crowns CHARLOTTE, Feb. 23. — OP) — The hard-fighting First division Marines of New River took the major laurels in the tenth annual Carolinas Golden Gloves and A.

(iP)—The pro golfing caravan's next stop on the winter treasure hunt is the $5,000 St. Petersburg Open March 4-6, and the event is about due for another playoff for top money. Despite his third place standing in winnings for the year, Sammy Snead, the Hot Springs, Va., stylist, has been installed as a favorite. He is the only two time winner of the event and participated in one of its playoff classics. Four times in the past six years the tourney has ended in a tie. In 1936 Leonard Dodson, the poker - faced Missourian, defeated Harry Cooper in a playoff after they ended the regular 72 holes all even with 283's. Cooper came back the next year to win a three-way playoff after he, Horton Smith and Ralph Guldahl deadlocked with 2S3’s. In 1938 Johnny Revolta beat out Chandler in a playoff. Then in 1939 Snead had to go 25 extra holes to turn back Henry Picard after they tied at 207 for the shortened 54-hole event. Snead won last year by two strokes, posting a 279 for 72 holes. The tourney will be a 72-holer again this year. All four playoff winners are en tered again as well as Paul Runyan, who took first money in the 1934 event. Other leading contenders include Ben Hogan of Hershey, Pa., leading the money winnerrs the second year in a row; Chick Harbert of Battle Creek, Mich.; Lloyd Mangrum of Oak Park, 111., winner of the New Or leans Open and second in earnings for the year; Lawson Little of San Francisco and Byron Nelson of To ledo, O peating his 1941 triumph with a knockout in the open flyweight.

His finals opponent, Norman Hall of Charlotte Y. M. C. A., was not permitted to fight by physicians because of a broken hand. Gene Kierman of the Marines was too strong for Greely Long, Whiteville boy representing the Charlotte Y. M. C. A. and went down five times in the two rounds he lasted but coming up with a wallop each time. The bout ended in a second round technical knock out.
