In the Bears camp is. the CIAAs third leading scorer and the top chairty shooter in the conference in James Fox Fox is averaging better than 22.1 points per game. His foul shooting is an amazing .881. Also in Shaw's camp is Kermit West and James Snow'. West and Snow are t.he big Bears when it comes to rebound ing. In the last game between the two teams, Fox took scoring hon ors with a total of 27 points. West had 1 and Snow 8. It. is expected to be a well at tended game in view of the fact that St. Augustine s College will be observing its 95th Anniversary. St. Augustine'* College Is in 9th place in the CIAA conference while Shaw is holding down the 15th spot Thompson Loses TV Bout To Rodriguez NEW YORK Welterweight Lu is Rodriquez won a Split decision over welterweight Frederico Thompson in a ten-round TV con solation honor fight, in Madison Square Garden here Saturday night. Rodriquez, a Cuban and Thomp son who is from Argentina, a cou ple of classy middleweight.*, fought the full ten rounds of one of the best fights in recent months, but. there were no knockdowns and. as far as could be seen, no cuts and bruises. Thompson who showed signs of weakening in the seventh round, slipped and went down in the eighth round, but the referee was quick to announce that it was no knockdown. Rodriquez, 25 and nine years younger than Thompson, is fast, clever, and hard-hitting, and was a 3 to 1 choice over the Argentine bomber Saturday night. Now living in Miami, he has a 10 to 2 record, including 16 knock outs. ranks third among the con and as winner of the Saturday tenders in t.he 147 pound division, night fight i c in line to fight Tony Mancini. a Briton, in London on Feb. 20. As for Thompson, Rodriquez said: “He is an old guy who tires quickly. I am not going to give him chance to rest. I'll make him fight every minutes and beat him.” Thompson, fighting as the South American champion and number one contender, had won eight con secutive battles for a 106-89 record, including 56 knockouts FATLOMZE OUR ADS ERTISERS BEATING THE GUN BY BILL BROWER FOR ANP One of the most interesting con versational pieces in sports these days is the speculation over what pay Jim Brown will be able to ex tract from the Celveland Browns in the comine season. Brown the National Football Lea gue’s busiest ball carrier and greatest gainer in history, has been doing some psychological sparring before getting to serious negotia tions with another Brown—Paul, the shrewd coach and general manager of the Browns. The conjecture is that the form er Syracuse All-American will de mand $50,000 to do fullbacking for his team next season. This does not seem to be an exorbitant price for the kind of services Jim Brown has rendered the club over the last five seasons. Based on the merit of his past performances and his pros spective contributions, he deserves it. Two years ago, Jim signed a two year contract, estimated to have netted him $32,500. This made him one of the highest-paid performers in the game. If the ante is raised to $50,000, he probably will move to the head of the class, compensa tion-wise The fact that Ernie Davis, the Heisman Trophy winner from Sy racuse. was signed by the Browns at a reported $65,000 for two years, excluding a $15,000 bonus, streng thens Jim’s bargaining position with Paul If an athlete who must establish himself warrants that kind of money, why shouldn't foot ball's greatest ball carrier be paid commensurately? If Jim did not press for such consideration, he would nave only himself to blame. For the past several seasons Brown had a lucrative off-season connection with a national bottling concern. When he v as out on tin coast for the Pro Bowl came. Jim intimated that the soft drink peo ple arc pn pared to ■ inply him on year-round basis Alluding to us heavy duty in Browns buck field this past season Jim said he felt that he had been o iled on to carry the ball too much.

V\hy not H- is that much more valuable as a good will am bassador as a great athlete receiv ing reams of publicity than as a former sports hero Jims salary goal is not excessive when you take into account the tremendous season the Browns had at the gate last fall. The team drew ip the neighborhood of 425 - GOO, with customers paying from $3 to $5 a head. This adds up to an impressive sum, in addition to sub stantial television revenue. Pro football has become a bonanza in the last few seasons. Topnotch per formers are entitled to get their while the getting is good—Jim Brown, no less than anyone else. "The Browns nave had a good home attendance since I’ve been here,” Jim said in Cleveland re cently, "and with the extra home game the 1961 season might have been their best.’ Jim noted that some basketball players are now receiving fabulous salaries. He mentioned Elgin Bay lor. who is said to be receiving $50,- 000 from the Los Angeles Lakers— that is, he was until he was called up by the army. Regarding the retirement stories in California and their relation to his new contract demands, Brown said: "I believe I'm in a pretty good position right now and there is no need of a buildup in contract nego tiations.” He’s right Delaware State Defeats Falcons DOVER, Del A full court, press plus a fast break employed by Delaware State worked effectively in the second half to defeat the Si. Augustine's College F Jcons here Monday night by the score. 84-76. The hometown team was behind all through the first half as the visiting Falcons took an early lead and were ahead. 41-36. at the half way poml.

High man for the losers were Lamonte Wyehe. a 6-1 junior, who pumped in 26 points for Coach Jes se Clements' Falcons. Ed Cottrell threw in 16 and field general Ai Glover popped in 11.

But we were told that if we didn't segregate wed all be ar rested.” He said that as a result, the white players on his squad were put up at the Sheraton- Oharles Hotel, while two of the Negro players were housed with a Negro minister and the others with another Negro who formerly play ed with tire Chicagoans. NEGROES THREATEN TO BOYCOTT GAME Ireland blamed the withdrawal I of the offer by Xavier on ‘outside pressure." His New Orleans friends, he said, attributed the trouble to thp mayoral campaign, in which segregation was an issue. GETTING OUT FAST At any rate, Ireland said he was I pulling his team out of the city fast. The situation had changed from two years when his team played Loyola of New Orleans %mm s*. - !

Ireland said, also that he thought it best for his team to cancel all future games in New Orleans as long as the situation (segregation) prevails. Meanwhile, the boycott threat ened' by Negroes, apparently was carried out in a fashion. Only 75 Negroes attended the game here last week as compared to 4.000 two years ago. Apparently Negroes had quietly stayed at home, NEGRO PLAYERS OUTSTANDING Negro players on the Chicago team were Jerry Harkness, Vic Rouse. Les Hunter, Rich Rochelle and Ron Miller, Harkness, Hunter and Rouse played in the game and were outstanding. Harkness was the game's high scorer, with 29. followed by Hunter and Rouse with 24 each. When Rouse left late in the game he re ceived a great ovation from the ap proximately 1.000 fans New Orleans is a strange city, described by an ANP oorrespon dnt dS “the city with the blackest white folks and Whitest black folks' In several instances whites and Negroes live side by side, yet are not allowed to “mix" in pub- J he places, not even in taxis.
