W&M Indians Bring
6-3 Record Against
Duke's 6-3 Tonight
Durham, N. C„ Feb. 7 One of
the best * basketball attractions of
the season between a pair of tough
teams battling desperately for
berths in the annual Southern
Conference tournament will be
; served up in Duke’s Inddfct Stadium
at 8:15 o'clock tonight when the
Blue Devils go against William
and Mary’s Indians.
The Blue Devils who were im
nrescive la-t week in wins over
North Carolina and -George Wash
ington, will enter the clash with
a five-game winning streak since
they drooped a double-overtime to
N. C. State’s conference champs.
They have a 6-3 mark in the con
ference and at the close of la«t
week’s play were tied for seventh :
'■not in the rankings with George 1
Washington.
The Indians have a 6-3 mark al- j
so. They took a 70-61 will in Tues
day night's game against N. C |
State at Norfolk.
The brilliant Bill Chambers and
his senio- running mate. Joe A*ee
are topping the Indians in scor
ing this season and they bring a
team that has both speed and the
necessary height to Durham.
D-.ike is really the "Little Boy
Blues” this season and most of the
time they have to spot height to j
their opponents and depend on j
their speed; William and Mary has j
both height and speed aVid Duke
| will undoubtedly have trouble get
j ling their share of the rebounds
j tonight.
j Duke will start w-Pt Bill Flern-

DETROIT —(IP— A rematch be
tween Robert Villemain of France

before either gets a crack at the
middleweight title.
The two contenders battled to a
10-round draw last night before
7,859 fans at Olympia. A cham
pionship bout with Sugar Rny Rob
inson - had been promised the win
ner by the International Boxing
Club.
Hairston, weighing 160 3-4
seemed well on his way to victory
and a title bout in the early rounds
against Villemain, 162 1-2. How
ever. the stocky pride of France
rallied gamely and had Hairston
, worn down at the end.
j Both Hairston, a deaf-mute, and
I Villemain, who does not speak
j English, appeared pleased at the
decision. Jean Bretonqel, Ville-
I main's manager, said, “We will
j keep trying until we get another
1 chance at the title.”
I Judge Jack Asperry awarded the
! first three rounds to Hairston,
’ gave Villemain the fourth, seventh

i even. He ruled a draw.
