Compare Wares in
Matches Tonight
The respective calibers of col
lege boxers and amateur club fight
ers will be tested in sane degree
tonight at Griffith Stadium, where
the area Olympic tourney will con
clude. Fourteen bouts, six semi
finals and eight championship
matches are scheduled, starting at
8:30.
Five collegians will attempt to
prove that the old college try is
superior to the brand of mitt fling
ing taught in the boys’ clubs. In
the first of these duels Howard
U.’s Monte Hickman will meet Leon
Daughtry, 1948 Golden Gloves sen
ior 147-pound champion, in a wel
terweight semifinal. Hickman is a
two-time winner of the CIAA
crown, while his opponent, repre
senting Liberty A. C., Is regarded
as one of the best ring prospects
produced by local amateurs in sev
eral seasons.
in anoiner semumai non saovus
of American U. will tangle with
District AAU Champion Holly Mims
in the 160-pound sector. Matos,
who began his boxing in the Army,
is a freshman at the Massachu
setts avenue school, and has won
five times and drawn twice in eight
college bouts. Mims, a heavy hitter
with either hand, inaugurated his
fistic career less than a year ago
at the Howard A. C„ and reached
the semifinals of the National AAU
tournament in Boston last April.
Another Howard U. entry, Harry
Cochrane, is pitted against Eddie
Smith. Police Boys’ Club No. 2, in
a light heavyweight semiwindup.
Terp Star Faces Rough Going.
Paul Kostopoulos, University of
Maryland student, got in some good
licks for the campus crew last Sat
urday when he won a brace of light
weight preliminaries to win his way
into the finals tonight. The tough
Terp is in for a rough evening, how
ever, for he will face Jim Hawkins,
Twelfth Street Y, one of the best
conditioned lads on the card. Haw
kins is employed as a coal passer
and is in top shape. He all but
won the AAU 135-pound crown last
spring, dropping a split decision in
the championship bout.
Another collegian in the finals is
Heavyweight Norval Lee, Howard
U.. who w’ill mix with enormous
Eddie Grant, the D. C. AAU un
limited ruler. Grant is green, but
eager—and can hit—so Lee will be
on the alert for another Appomat
tox.
Still another newcomer in the
tourney is 175-pound Bob Weaver
of the Naval Air Station. Three
months ago the sailor represented
Kansas City in the Nationals and
reached the finals before being
eliminated. A heavily-muscled lad.

Md. Part of proceeds will accrue to
the Boys’ Club of Prince Georges

The Middleburg 22-class show is
strictly a hunter event designed to
attract the cream of the country’s
equine beauty and talent. Cham
pionships and reserves will be award
ed in the green, conformation and
working hunter divisions. Breeders
will display their stock in a class for
yearlings and one for 3-years-olds.
Two-year-olds will compete for the

sions will be featured by the $150
green hunter stake, $250 conforma
tion hunter stake and $250 working

speed and stop, turn easily and pass
a rope test.

color, conformation and appoint
ments. The trappings used on
these horses are colorful and the
costly saddles and bridles are inter
woven with hammered silver and
semiprecious stones. Golden Zephyr,

Faurot's Recruiting Charges
Bring Wide Repercussions
ly tht A**ociot»d Pr«*»
KANSAS CITY, May 19.—A
charge of football recruiting leveled
by Missouri's Don Faurot against
out-of-State schools brought reper
cussions today from the South and
Midwest.
Faurot. the University of Missouri
athletic director and football coach,
declared several out-of-State uni
versities had sought to lure Missouri
high school athletes to their teams.
Arkansas. Tulane, Kentucky, Mis
sissippi State, Kansas, Alabama, he
said, had supplied expense-paid
visits for Missouri boys.
Tulane University issued a vig
orous denial and asked Faurot to
"name names.” Some schools, how
ever, said Missouri boys had visited
their campuses.
Public Relations Director Horace
Reneger of Tulane said "not an
athlete from Missouri has been at
Tulane nor have any tried out nor
has any coach contacted any Doy
In the State.”
Alabama Football Coach Red
Drew commented, "one Missouri boy
came here on a visit, but he’s not
planning to enter the university.”
Faurot, in a talk yesterday before
the M. U. Quarterback Club here,
said regarding the University of
Kansas:
"Just recently two St. Louis ath
letes passed through Columbia, Mo.,
on their way to Lawrence. They
said the expense of their trip had
been supplied after they had been
invited to Kansas by Norman
Cooper, line coach. I learned later
they received offers to come to
Kansas.”
At Lawrence, Cooper said two St.
Louis boys did visit Kansas during
spring practice, adding:
"They were sent to us by a K. U.
alumnus who lives in St. Louis. I
don't think there’s anything wrong
if we try to get boys to come to
Kansas.”

Midget Auto Czar Places
Fans' Rights in Forefront
Midget auto racing needs some one
in authority to protect first the fans
and secondly the drivers and pro-]
moters, according to Maj. Gen.
Phillip Hayes, who is slated to be
come commissioner of the National
Automobile Racing Association soon.
"That’s the job I intend to do when
I take over," he said yesterday at a

agihg director of the Lanham Speed
way which opens its season on Fri
day night.

five-year terms as soon as certain
obstacles are cleared. “A sport that
builds up from 4,500,000 admissions
in 1941 to 35,000,000 in 1947 definitely
is outstanding,” he said.
Fried announced that the three
drivers who have won the first three
25-mile lap features at Philadel
phia’s Yellow Jacket Speedway this
season will be at Lanham on Fri
day night. They are Larry Bloomer,
Dutch Schaefer and Tony Bonaides.

Coaltown, 2-5, Races
At Belmont Today
ly the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 19.—New York
turf fans get their first look today
at Coaltown, the Calumet Farm’s
speedster they have been hearing
so much about.
The 3-year-old colt by Bull Lea
Easy Lass is entered in the 7-fur
long, $15,000-added Swift Stakes at
Belmont Park.
If Coaltown lives up to advance
notice it may be that Belmont
Park’s 48-year-old record for the 7
furlongs will be shattered. Rose
ben, a 5-year-old, set the present
mark of 1:22 on October 16, 1906,
under 126 pounds, the same weight
Coaltown will tote.
Coaltown set a blazing pace in
the recent Kentucky Derby before
being overhauled by his stablemate,
Citation. Most turf fans expect
him to run back to that form and
walk away with today’s stake.
The overnight odds had Coaltown
an odds-on, 2-to-5 favorite, with
My Request, third in the Derby,
second choice at 5 to 1.
Girls Run Up Scores
Some fancy scoring was done in
girls high school softball games yes
terday. Richard Montgomery High
of Rockville ran up the biggest total,
22-5, over Gaithersburg lassies,
while Hyattsville nosed out Mary

C. U.'s Second Win
Over Hoyas Earns
Claim to Crown
Catholic University’s baseball
team didn't even make the Mason
Dixon Conference title playoff
aeries, but what of it? The Car
dinals beat Georgetown twice this
season to make the year a success.
That gives C. U. firm ground to
claim the unofficial championship
over District area college nines,
even though its only other local
action was a win over Gallaudet.
George Washington is the only
team that might dispute C. U.’s
claim. G. W. also beat George
town once and tied another game
against the Hoyas. It split with
Maryland, which bowed twice to
G. U.
The cardinals yesterday proved
that their earlier 5-3 triumph over
the Hoyas wasn’t the fluke it first
was supposed to be by taking G. U.
into camp, 1-0, in 11 innings on
the Georgetown field.
Pitcher Paul Dare, who pitched
C. U.’s previous victory over G. U.,
yesterday tossed a masterful three
hitter at the Hoyas and scored the
winning run in the top half of the
11th. He singled, was sacrificed to
second by J. Bucky Zurawei and
counted on Jackie Walsh’s single.
It was just about the best college
game played here this year. Botn
teams were errorless, and aside from
Dare, no one passed second base.
Tommy Flynn, Georgetown’s ace
Singer, also scintillated and carried
a three-hitter into the last inning.
The victory ended C. U.’s three
game losing string and gave it a
record of nine wins and five losses,
with one game to go.
Maryland racked up its seventh
straight by nosing out West Vir
ginia, 8-7, at College Park. A two
run uprising with scores by Jim
Moeller and Bob Brewer in the ninth
did the trick. Sophomore Norm
Goetz was the winning pitcher with
a nine-hitter.
District Pin League
Pennant at Stake in
Battles Tonight
By Ben McAlwee
Deadlocked In first place, Winn's
Motors and Burr Heishman Tires
will end their hot scrap tonight for
the Major District Duckpln League
championship.
The deciding matches will see
Winn’s engaging the tough Win
chester Packards at King Pin while
the Heishmans meet the strong
Galliher & Huguely outfit at Rosslyn.
Both matches start at 7:30.
Should the two pennant con
tenders tie in games won and lost
the Winns figure their present 158
total-pin advantage will squeeze
them across the finish line in front.
A fight for the individual title
between Julie Singer of Winchester,
the defending champion, and Cletus
Pannell, Heishman ace, also will
be a feature in the season’s windup.
Singer, with 126-40, leads Pannell
by 48 pins.
In other matches tonight third
place Mann’s Potato''Chips bowls
Arcade Pontiac at Clarendon, and
Mapledge Pins tangles with Senate
Beer at Brookland.
With only four games separating
the first eight teams an exciting
flag chase is on in the crack Thrifty
Beverage League at King Pin.
Led by Buss Downey’s 402 and
Hokie Smith’s 396, Anacostia Liquor
Store swept the leading Keystone
outfit, dropping the losers into a
first-place tie with Acme Supply.
Avenue Wine and Liquor Store
clipped another pennant contender
when Lindsay Stott’s 167 and 467 j
led a 2-1 win from fourth-place
Dixie Cut-Rate. Eddie Keith’s 180
and 440 were the edge as Rose’s
Liquor Store nicked Calvert
Shop, 2-1.
Five years ago—the Boston
Braves released Lefty Gomez,
veteran pitcher who was a long
time star for the Yankees.
Detroiters Pledge $12,000,000
For Olympic Stadium-Village
■y th« Assoc in t*d Prut
CHICAGO, May 19.—Detroit
has offered to bulk! a $12,000,000
stadium and Olympic village in
its bid to land the 1956 Olympic
Games.
This was revealed yesterday by
the Inspection Committee of the
1956 Olympics through its chair
man, Fred L. Steers of Chicago.
Steers’ group met in Chicago to
hear what this city has to offer
in the way of facilities. Chicago,
Detroit, Philadelphia. Minneapo
lis and Los Angeles have bid for
the site.
The Inspection Committee,
which has heard all proposals
except those of Los Angeles, will
present an impartial report to
the United States Olympic Com
mittee which will vote on the city
it will support for the 1956 games.
Avery Brundage, president of
the United States Olympic com
mittee, said he was disappointed
in Chicago’s public interest in
getting the 1956 meets. “There is
not nearly as much public in
terest in Chicago as there is in
other cities,” he said.
