NEW YORK lts The national publicity that accompanied Judge
Saul Streit’s southing .denunciation of intercollegiate athletics has the
rit ready to rap tor “order in the court.”
His telephone jingles throughout the night, ruining his sleep. He is
besieged with request for interviews by magazine and newspaper
writers. He also has been asked to appear op radio and television
this has left the tall, greying jurist of New York’s General Ses
sions Court thoroughy exhausted. But it. has not ruffled his composure
to wrtmirt his general good nature.
“I dislike’turning down anyone, especially people who have a job to
At” the judfce pointed chit. “But it would be phydcally impossible
to meet aU these requests.”
» He has a him, athletic-like figure which he manages to keep that
why by frequent rounds of golf.
Vli The Judge has a true love for sports, especially baseball and foot
ball. He shaves a box at the Polo Grounds when the baseball Giants
in total, and daring autumn afternoons he travels to Princeton
frequently to watch the Tiger football team.
r Before being named to the bench, Judge fitrett served hi the state
iltglrtitare for 10 years under the regtans of A1 Smith and Franklin
fe, Roosevelt.
' Judge Strett worked four months collecting facts on what he labeled
•(the evil systbm of commercialism" pervading college sports. Now
he rests his case with the people.
k “I’ve presented tpe facts in this case,” he said. “It’s up to the
I people te oarry (he ball now."
“No amount Os vituperation or abjUse will sqlve this problem.”
and soft spoken voice of his profes

‘ vAIaWOVA, t>a. —(IB —A man
tle of mystery lay today over the
sudden, campus death of Villanova
college football hero Domenic- Nick
Liotta.
The big co-captain from Everett.
Mass., died in or near his dormi
tory yesterday. But the cause of his
death was clouded by conflicting
statements of police, the coroner's
office and oollege authorities.
Radnor township investigators
said the 22-year-old pajama-clad
guard was found hanged with a
length of telephone wire from a
water pipe in his dormitory base
ment. They said the 225-pound
Liotta had committed suicide in a
fit of despondency, apparently over
his team's three losses this year.
The Wildcats won five games.
Delaware County Coroner Joseph
Tercha said Liotta died from a
“heart attack” while leaving the
dormitory.
Villanova officials said only that
big Nick had been ill for the “past
few days” and the cause of death
was unknown. The nature of his
illness was not revealed.

.The five-foot, 11-lnch Liotta died
at a moment when he was reaping I
some of College football’s highest 1
honors. J
He had been picked as a guard 1
on the 1951 Look magazine All-

Grantland Rice and slated lor re- I

In addition, he had accepted an
invitation to play in the annual
East-West Shrine game at San I
Francisco New Year’s Day. And He
died on the day he received honor- I
able mention on the United Press’ ]
All-America squad.
Fellow players said Liotta showed
signs of depression after Kentucky
snapped VUlanova’s early three- (
game winning streak with a one- !
sided victory. Later, Villanova lost J
by one touchdown to Boston Cojlege!
in Boston and he was further de- ]
pressed because his team was hu-li
milated before delegations of his j
hometown Tans.
A crushing blow was the 45 to .

squad in scholastic ability, played

John Bratton Gets
Draw With Gavilan
CHICAGO. Ilf) A penalty for
holding called by referee Bill Doty
in the seventh round gave Johnny
Bratton a 10 round draw with Wel
terweight champion Kid Gavilan
last night.
“The referee, .he say I hold,"
Gavilan said after the non-title
bout. “But I wasn’t.”
Doty and both judges, Frank Mc-
Adam and John Bray, gave Brat
ton a 6 to 4 edge in the points
that seventh round. But for- the |
penalty it would have been no worse i
than an even round, and that one \
point difference would have given
Gavilan the decision.
Doty tabbed the fight 52 to 48 for !
Bratton, while Bray held it for:
Gavilan by the same margin. Mc-
Adam, who said ‘‘l would have
scored the seventh even but for
Doty’s penalty,” made it even at
50-50.
NO ONE HURT
“It’s not the first time I lose,”
Gavilan said. “He never hurt me,
never hit me hard.
“But I tried to do to him the
last five rounds what he do to me
the first five. He make me chase
him. and I Just say ‘Come on, you
come get me instead and find out
how hard it is to catch a fighter
who always backing up’.”
“I don’t know whether he help
himself in fighting with a draw,”
I Gavilan said. “Maybe he get a title
dhance anyhow.”
Ex-champ Bratton, who needed
to avoid -defeat to retain any draw
ing power in the ring, said he be
lieved he won the fight and that
he could beat Gavilan over 15
rounds.
1 "I think I hurt him in the sev-
I enth,” he said, “and he never hurt
i me.”
Bratton, though he never was
II hurt, was bloody from the second

David Blair Owen, presideaaof

The committee did not stateiOtly
that the withdrawal was profßßed
by the Bright incident but sgm, it
felt Drake’s position was “momHy

The committee also

rivalry which exists between-mhe
two institutions.”
