\ TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SUNDAY, MARCH 17, 1940 TELLING THE WORLD. Longhorns Are All Set For Oilers By B. A. BRIDGEWATER_ Sports Editor EGUIN, Texas, March 16.— The University of Texas base- ball team led by the veteran coach, “Uncle Billy” Disch, is all set to give the Tulsa Oilers a pasting when it comes down here to Seguin Monday for the first of a two-game series. Undefeated champions of the Southwest conference last year, the Longhorns have been getting ready for a month and are well ahead of the Texas league rivals in the important matter of physical condition. Texas will pitch against Tulsa its star, Melvin Deutsch, who sub- dued all the conference opponents met last season, and also went the full nine-inning route to beat the National league Philadelphia Phil- lies, 4 to 1, in & game at Austin. Deutsch is a junior from Cald- well, Texas. When the Oilers were down here two years ago he was a star sophomore but ineligible because of grades. The Longhorns will have on third base Bobby Moers, picked on the All-American collegiate basketball team this year by N. E. A.; on first base Johnny Hill, selected for the all-American semipro baseball team after the tournament at Wichita last summer. In the Southwest confer- ence they permit athletes to play semipro baseball and still retain their amateur standing. Here is the Texas line-up for the series opening here Monday, and to be concluded with a game in Austin Tuesday: Jack Stone, 2b (Junior). Leslie Croucher, ss (Sophomore) brother of Frank (Dingle) Crouch- er of Detroit and a former Beau- mont star, ® L, Clarence Pfeil, captain, Bobby Moers, 3b (Senior), Johnny Hill, 1b (Senior). . Pete Layden, If (Junior), full- back on Longhorn football team. Joyce Rowe, rf (Junior). Fred Everett, ¢ (Senior), Mel Deutsch, p (Junior). Ned McDonald, p (Senior). Udell Moore, p (Junior), a son of veteran Wiley Moore of Okla- homa, ef (Senior), * Incidentally, gossip from the Long- horn campus has it that Dana X. Bible will have a greatly improved » footbali team there next fall, one that will give Texas a contender in the Southwest conference race for the first time in several years. Jack Crain, the sensational halfback whose long runs won several games for Texas last year and scared all other opponents, weighs 175, but the Zain of 10 pounds apparently has not reduced his speed. ene T DIDN'T Tast long, fortunate- ly, but that “norther” sweep- ing in on Seguin a few days ago brought one of the worst days Roy Johnson ever saw in a_ baseball spring camp. It sleeted a bit early in the morning and spit a little snow and this, with a howling wind out of the north and a temperature of 39 combined to produce a climate making an Oklahoma overcoat a very handy piece of equipment. “One spring the Kansas City club was training in Baton Rouge,” said Roy, “and we ran into even worse weather. We had a wind and snow flurry that kept us inside for three days. That was worse than this be- cause it lasted longer. At Catalina island one year they had a: rain- storm lasting a solid week and the Cubs couldn’t get out of their hotel.” Old-timers here recall a visit of the Continued on Next Page STAN SWATS WITH PAIR ON; GEORGE PITGHES PERFECT SAN ANTONIO, March 16—Stan- ley Schino and George Milstead, a couple of old Texas league warriors, led the Tulsa Oilers to a cleanly earned 9-to-7 victory over the St. Louis Browns of the American league this afternoon as both teams launched their spring exhibition sea- son. Schino started his 1940 comeback, auspiciously by. driving a three-run homer high and far over the left field fence in the first inning to put the Oilers off in the lead, and they never were behind. Big Stan also singled to start another Tulsa rally in the'third and finished his day by doubling’ to set up still another in the fifth. It was a great afternoon for the veteran Tulsa favorite, who had a bad year in 1939, and supplied evi- dence that maybe his batting slump of last summer was due to eye trouble caused by two abscessed molars which were extracted dur- ing the winter. Stan’s batting record for the day was three hits, three runs and three runs batted in. George Hurls Three Runless Ones. Milstead, wearing the customary red sleeves, made the Oiler victory possible by twirling the last three innings and_ shutting off the Brownies without a run. The score was tied at the end of the sixth and as the Oilers picked up their last two runs in the seventh and eighth Milstead became the winning pitcher. While big Stan.and Foxy George were the principal heroes in the Tulsa success, several of the new youngsters were very noticeable. Manager Roy Johnson used 19 play- ers, giving nearly everybody a chance to play rather than concen- trate on winning the game—which was of secondary consideration al- though very acceptable. Yet all 19 of the Oilers went through the con- test without making an error. This was a good deal more than could be said of the 22 Browns sent into action by Fred Haney. They com- mitted four bobbles, three of which figured in the Tulsa scoring. Zydowski Gets Two Blows. Next to Schino in the Tulsa of- fense was burly Ed Zydowski, the third baseman from Moline, a young- ster spotted on the Chicago sand- lots by Manager Johnson. Zydowski crashed out a single and two doubles in his three trips before giving way to Billy Capps in the fifth. He drove home two runs. Wally Carroll also had a big hand in the run mak- ing, driving in three counters with his single and double. The honor of sending the winning run over the plate went to Frank (Pat) Stasey, Tony Rego’s, little outfielder, who succeeded Schino in right after five innings. Stasey’s single in the sev- enth scored Eddie Waitku’s who had singled and reached second on a wild pitch by Nate Andrews, third Brown pitcher of the afternoon. Altogether the Oilers outhit the Browns 13 to 10, outfielded them decisively and led in everything ex- cept the control of pitchers. John Colmer, the big pitcher Tulsa bought from Los Angeles, struck out five in his three inning stretch starting the game.

Bernie Drees, a hard-working veteran who has been around tenpin’s top-flight for several years, provided the major changes here today as Kansas City aces fired in individual events of the Southwest tournament. None of the leaders were changed but for misfortune in the third game of each series Drees, who won the in 1935, could have taken over in the doubles and singles. S. W. all-events championship here In the two- man event Bernie and Johnny Hannis totaled 1,292 to take over fourth place. Then in the singles Drees shot 685 for sixth place, the only shake-up among the first 10. Six hundred series were plentiful, 13 of them being turned in during the afternoon, but none of them large enough to ‘dis- turb the top ranks. In the doubles Johnny Sachen and silver-thatehed Earl Shepperd took over fifth position with 1,286 and Bill Kuster and Dewey Bertoncin copped ninth with 1,256.

Johnny started with a wide- open split then missed a couple of spares for 181. Bernie started with five strikes in a row, then left the 10 pin a couple of times and muffed it each team for errors. Those five opens—a difference of 50 pins— would have put them far in front. Bernie had a big chance in the singles after a start of 227 and 257. But he lost his strike ball and got only spares in the first four frames of the final game, had a wide-open split in the fifth. If he was to take the lead Drees needed to pile in strikes the rest of the way. He got a big portion of them until his ball went high in the tenth and left the four pin. When it stood his chances of overhauling Meryl Middaugh, who is leading with 708, were gone. Kuster Shoots 707 Series. Cut-up Bill Kuster was piling up strikes, both to the right and left of the head pin, in the doubles and shot the highest series of the day with 107 on singles of 215, 268 and 224.

M’KNIGHT « FORT WORTH, Texas, March 16 (®)—Scissor-legged Don Boydston, a boney Oklahoma A. & M. sopho- more from Sand Springs, drifted shockingly close to a world high- jump record in an unheralded per- formance of the Southwestern Expo- sition track and field meet here to- day. . Top team honors in the university division of a meet that attracted 1,210 athletes went to University of Texas, but Boydston slipped in the big thrill with a lean of six feet, 8% inches, The bar was hoisted to six 6 feet, 10 inches to give the skinny Sooner a chance at smashing the 6 feet, 9%4-inch mark held jointly by Dave Albritton and Melvin Walk- er, both formerly of Ohio State university. On the third try, with only a short jog of about 10 feet, Boydston barely tipped the bar and it tumbled into the pit after trembling on the standards. Stout winds wrecked many chances at track records and made the fea- ture 100-meter special event, won by.big Lonnie Hill, University of Texas sophomore, seem like a slow- motion event in 10.9 seconds. Hill drove hard in the closing yards to edge out by inches Welby Williams, little North Texas State Teachers college sophomore sensation. Deep in fifth position, still obvi- ously off his old sprinting form, was Freddie Wolcott of Rice institute, primarily one of the world’s greatest hurdlers but also Southwest confer- ence dash champion. One of the day’s big upsets oc- curred in the publicized football shuttle relay, little Texas Arts and Industries of Kingsville, Texas, beating out favored big brethern of the Southwest conference with @ sparkling 44.4 seconds perform- ance in the 400-yard shuttle race with footballs. North Texas Teachers finished second, East Texas Teachers, third and University of Texas, powered on the last lap by Cowboy Jack Crain, saved the Southwest confer- ence from a shutout by finishing fourth. Fourteen records tumbled in the various divisions, but only three, Boydston’s high jump; Boyce Gate- wood’s streaking 23.8 second per- formance in the 220-yard low hur- dies over a straightaway course, and North Texas Teachers college mile relay run of 3:21.4 were new all- meet marks—all divisions consid- ered! Final winners of the divisions: University—Texas. College— North Texas State Teachers. Junior college—Schreiner institute. Prep and freshmen—North Texas State Teachers. High school — Central, Oklahoma City; Highland Park, Dal- las, and Waurika, Okla., tied for second. Bespectacled Blaine Rideout made a runaway of the college mile, fin- ishing 100 yards in front of his field in the leisurely time of 4:17.6, three seconds slower than the mark he established last year. Beecher Huff, Brady high school’s fine hurdler, smashed a--220-yard low hurdle mark set up by’ Boyce Gatewood back in 1936 while an Electra schoolboy, with his 25- second performance today.

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 16.— Cascia Hall of Tulsa won the state Catholic high school basketball title here this afternoon when it turned back St. Joseph’s of Oklahoma City, 22 to 19. This was the rubber game of a series between Cascia, the eastern champion, and St. Joseph’s, pride of the western part of the state. Tulsa had won the first game in Tulsa Monday night, but St. Joseph's squared accounts here Friday night, 30-29. By winning here this afternoon Cascia Hall qualifies for the national Catholic tournament in Chicago March 27-31. Chief gunner in this low scoring thriller was a Cascia guard, Larry Becker, who hit eight points. Char- ley Milan of Cascia Hall and Tom Riley of St. Joseph’s were tied for the runner-up honors with six apiece.

C. A. A. basketball elimi- nations by nudging the Oklahoma Aggies, 45 to 43, here tonight, but took an overtime session and some fancy long distance firing to do it. At the end of the regular playing period in ‘the slam-bang thriller, which kept most of the 5,000 fans on their feet, the score was knotted at 40 to 40 and the teams went into*, a five-minute extra period after a minute’s rest, é Ralph Miller, Kansas forward whose long shots kept the Jays in front most of the way, put his team in in the lead with a free throw soon after the overtime period started. Howerd Engleman, Kansas guard, added another one-pointer, but Jess Renick, the Aggies, sparkling guard, dunked his only field goal of the night to tie it up .again. Harp’s Only Goal Does It. Then Dick Harp of Kansas bagged his only bucket of the contest, a long looper that swished the net with little more than a minute remaining and put the Jayhawks ahead to stay. Renick added a free throw, but so did Engleman, and that was the size of the scoring as the 10 tired play- ers fought frantically for possession of the ball with neither side scoring from the flor in the final minute. -— se BURBANK, BYNG, NUYAKA CAPTURE COURT GROWNS Tourney Results GIRLS Bing 29, Caney 24.

Seguin is orig- inally a German settlement and German names still predominate. There are just four nationalities . here, the Seguin boys say. You’re a Dutchman, a Mexican, a Negro or a Raggedy. We wanted to know what a “Raggedy” was. “Why,” said our informant, a veteran par- ticipant in the Elks club’s nightly poker party, “anybody who isn’t a Dutchman, a Mexican or a Negro ..is a Raggedy.” * e * _ Everything is all right now in the Oiler training camp, since Max Thomas has put in a belated appear- ance. Max was a special crony and golf partner of Roger Moore, Se- ~guin’s mayor, and the first thing His eHonor wanted to know when the _Tulsa party got to town was why Maxie was missing. At the chamber “of commerce, the Elks club and ‘other popular places where the gre- ‘ garious citizenry gather to pass the time of day and whatnot there was the same expression of regret that ‘the slim’ southpaw wasn’t here. -Thomas had been to Seguin for the “training. season in 1936, 1937 and 1938 and he is easily the most pop- ular Oiler with the people down -here. ; a SSE S Sorry We’re Absent “(-YNE of several’ valid reasons é we're Sorry not to be in Tulsa Monday night is because we won’t get to see Hugh Nichols tackle ‘that bear.

He was ina “royal” with the grizzly over at Oklahoma City a couple of -weeks ago. Red Berry and Jesse - James, who had not come in contact with the burly animal before, were}. afraid to get anywhere near Her and Sneaky had a good chance to feel out Miss Ginger: He didn’t beat her abut he did shove her around enough -to get the idea he could handle her fin a pinch. ~ e * e * When last year’s Milk Fund show netted $1,500 for the charity and was witnessed bya crowd ‘of 4,000 we told our friend Sam Avey he had gone about as far as he could in showing an increase for the benefit every year. We thought if ~ the Milk Fund affair was to climb ~in the net return this year, as it has every time so far, it would be up to the ladies themselves to ~ make it do so. We said as much in ‘a column soon after the 1939 show and suggested an organized ticket ‘sales campaign in advance as the ‘only way to assure another in- crease in crowd and money, But Avey has practically cinched another gain by giving the Milk Fund program the very best card he’s had in six months—Nichols vs. the Bear. ‘He is taking money out of his own ‘pocket to do this, for "Miss Ginger “and any other big, rough opponent would have drawn well Monday night with the added interest the Milk Fund angle gives. Avey could have saved the Nichols-Ginger “nat- “ural” for himself and been certain of showing a little profit this spring ‘after a lean winter.

A realign- ment of several local teams during the past week by members of the park department’s recreation gov- erning board made tne fact a cer- tainty and forced a revision in orig- inal plans. For weeks Ron Capps, director of parks department recreation, has been wrestling with the problem of what to do with the 69 teams that sought in leagues this season. Then the governing board, of which L. W. McFetridge is chairman and J. B. Miller and W. A. Melton the oth- er members, stepped in, took the job, revamped a number of the set- ups and established the City circuit. Not Like 1939 Open League. © However, the new City league will have nothing in common—under the rules anyway—with the open circuit of 1939, which was the state’s fast- est. The new City was planned to accommodate several outstanding teams in the Oil Capital which were apparently too strong to compete on an even basis with clubs in circuits for which they had originally been slated. Atlas Electric, Mid-Continent Ath- letic club, Spartan Aircraft, U. S. Engineers and Texaco Firechiefs form the nucleus of the new organi- zation. There will be at least six members with a possibility that the number may be increased to eight. All games will be played at New- block park. Responsibility for alignment of teams was taken over by the gov- erning board at a meeting last Tues- day. Under the new plan the board is given sole power to determine the number of team entries for the sea- son, the number of leagues neces- sary to accommodate the teams, placement of clubs and apportion- ment of necessary diamond facilities. Make Changes in Other Loops. Despite the fact that a fifth lighted park will be built adjoining the old North Peoria field officials face a problem in arranging 1940 sched- ules. Sixty-nine teams have filed and application of a 20-team Inde- pendent league, which formerly com- peted on its own diamond at Yale and Federal,. for play under parks department supervision has been turned down. A number of changes were made in other leagues by the poard. Among the revisions were: Reducing Petroleum membership to eight teams; trimming the Commercial to eight, and splitting the Church set- up into four divisions, the red, white and two classes under the blues. Twenty-eight teams are entered in the Church league, an all-time high. Each division will have the regular Shaughnessy play-offs with two di- vision winners scrapping it out for the blue laurels. Here is the way the leagues have been lined up: : PETROLEUM — Bethlehem Steel, Carter Oil, Gulf Oil, Hanlon Com- panies, Shell Oil, Skelly Oil, Stano- lind Pipe Line and Texaco Indians.

CITY LEAGUE FORMED IN SOFTBALL REALINGMENT McCarty to Try Sooner Spring Drill NORMAN, March 15 (#)—Howard (Red) McCarty, Sooner halfback who was injured in the 1938 University of Oklahoma-Oklahoma Aggie game,| will return to Norman this weekend to report for spring football prac- tice, Head Coach Tom Stidham said today. McCarty, who has been working in St. Elmo, Ill, previously announced he was not going to play out the year of eligibility he had remaining after a leg fracture apparently ended his football career. “I talked with Red on the phone,” grinned Stidham, “and he said he had been to a doctor and had an X-ray taken and his leg is as good as new. I knew he would never be satisfied until he got back in uniform.” EVANS BOVS WILL RENEW RING FEUD HERE WEDNESDAY When the Evans boys, Gene of Oklahoma City and Gomer of Tulsa, met in finals of the state Golden Gloves tournament the capital lad was given a disputed decision and then went on to gain the finals of the national tourney in Chicago. That verdict in the capital’ aroused more comment than any other in the event, a large number of the fans believing Gomer had won the fight. Wednesday night Gomer will have an opportunity to even the score when he battles Gene in one of the feature attractions of Matchmaker Ted Cotton’s weekly amateur presentation at Convention hall. Three Champions on Card. Three state Gloves champions, Buell Davis and Bill Looker in ad- dition to G. Evans, will appear with Oklahoma City’s team of seven fighters. And those champions are going to find plenty of tough oppo- sition here. But for a little more of the fly- weight business. Gomer was un- doubtedly the best first-year fighter in the state this year. The Tulsa boy, with an unusually long reach for a 112-pounder, speared his way through the Northeast Gloves to cop the title and then won handily at O. C. until he bumped into Gene and that fight was a dinger from the word go. A majority of the boys who fight here Wednesday are conditioning for the state A. A. U. tournament, which will be held in the capital later this month. So they should be ready to go at top speed all the way. Buell Davis, who holds the Sooner 118-pound Gloves crown, will pitch into Deck Garman, Northeast Gloves champion. This bout should be as good if not better than any on the program. Both lads have had plenty of experience and can punch as well as box. ‘ Du Shane Fights for 0. C. Davis went to Chicago and moved to the semifinals of the big Gloves competition before he was elim- inated. Rugged Looker, a featherweight, and Duke Du Shane, as tough a 135- pounder as there is in the state, will battle for the invading forces. Cot- ton will line up the best locals avail- able to tackle these lads. The advance seat sale opens Tues- day morning at the Orpheum Cigar store and Southern club, Admission will be 25, 40 and 60 cents. ST. GREGORY’S CAGE SQUAD TO CHICAGO wah Special to the Tulsa World. SHAWNEE, March 16.—St. Greg- ory’s basketball team will depart next Sunday for Chicago where they will play in the national Catholic tournament at Loyola university.

AALU.CAGEMEET ON DENVER COUR UNDER WAY TODA DENVER, March 16 (#)—Heavy shooting, basketball variety, will re- sound ‘in this mile-high mountain city for the next seven days with a Denver team holding the fort against attacks from all directions. Denver’s Nuggets, veterans wise in the ways of high-speed basketball, will defend their national A. A. U. championship against a field of 49 competitors from all over the union.

The two survivors will clash for the championship on Saturday night, Easter eve. The Nuggets outpointed the Bartlesville Phillips 66 club in the 1939 finals, 25 to 22, and both are well liked as finalists again this year by most critics. This year’s tournament is a coast- to-coast, border-to-border hook-up, with teams from New York and Cal- ifornia, Minnesota and New Mexico, Washington and Louisiana. Colorado leads the 26 states rep- resented with seven teams of the 50 competing. California has five and Missouri four. The Rocky Mountain section and the broad midwest have nominated 14 hopefuls apiece. The eastern sector and the west coast have seven color-bearers each, the southwest five and the south two.

INTERCLUB GOL DUALS SCHEDULED An interclub match play league in- volving golf teams from Indian Hills, Oakhurst, Hillcrest of Bartlesville, Tulsa Country ,club and_ possibly Southern Hills will start play June 26 at Bartlesville. Teams will be composed of eight meén, including the club professional and seven amateurs. Matches will be played on Mondays and most of the duals will be conducted on han- dicap basis. Many star players will be unable to get off work which will necessitate the handicap rule. The possibility of Southern Hills competing depends on the number of players who will be able to play, Bill Wotherspoon, S. H. pro, said Saturday. Other dates in addition to the opener include: July 22 at Indian Hills, August 19 at Oakhurst, and September 16 at Tulsa Country club. NUGGETS WALLOP ’89-ERS, 48 TO 34 ———$ $a PUEBLO, Colo., March 15 (®)—The Denver Nuggets evened the score with their Missouri Valley AAU basketball rivals, the Oklahoma City 89ers tonight as they cashed in on the follow-up shots of lanky Bob Gruenig to win 48 to 34. Gruenig, displaying a_ brilliant brand of ball under the basket, tipped in seven field goals and four free throws to pace the Denverites. O.S.G.A. Seeks to Better Bare Existence With Associate Plan After years of bare existence that at times brought near collapse Okla- homa’s financially weakened golf as- sociation has started a campaign for associate memberships that is ex- pected to nurse the organization back to robust health. It has been a’‘hand-to-mouth prop- osition, figuratively speaking, during the past several years, the only rev- enue being that derived from dues paid in by member clubs. This was barely enough to keep the nucleus of the association together, with ex- pansion an impossibility. At the January meeting direc- ters voted to establish associate memberships, available at $10 each, to replenish the depleted treas- ury and enable the leaders to un- dertake new activities and stimu- late golf in the state. John -M. Winters, jr., Tulsa’s president of the association, Sat- urday said, “Our aim in this re- spect is not confined to golfers who are members of private clubs, but equally for the public links pday-. ers. We hope that golfers think well enough of our efforts to sup- port us through these member- ships. “The purpose of the associate membership is twofold, First it will enable us to get assistance from players who are financially able to join. Then secondly, under our rules O. S. G. A. tournaments are open only to players who are bona fide members of clubs that are members of the association. This may elimi- nate a good golfer who is unable to join a private club, and we do not wish to do this. Consequently, a golfer not’ a private club member can. purchase an. associate member- ship and become eligible for the tourneys, without additional cost for entry fees. This will not impose any hardship even on the public links players.” Letters containing mémbership ap- plications have been mailed to moré |than 550 golfers throughout the state. Winters and other officials are await- ing the response to see how the new plan: is received. ‘ Building up the state’s public links. qualifying play, promoting @' better state open and stimulating in- the -jobs that will be undertaken by the O. S. G. A. this year. In 1939 the. organization paid the expenses of five public links play- ers to the national tournament at Baltimore. This was well received and more than 50 contestants are expected to compete for positions alloted the state in this season’s national, which will be held at De- troit in July. a For years there has been a de- cline of interest in the open fea- ture. This year the state associa- tion plans to co-operate with the Oklahoma P. G. A. and jointly sponsor a meet which will have enough prize money to attract of the big-name golfers. Then while other states have been supplying a large number of crack amateurs Soonerland has been lag- ging behind. Directors believe that reviving interest among the juniors would do much to produce future stars, so an effort will also be made in that direction. If the: associate memberships prove the tonic needed by the.O. S. G. -A. there is no limit to the work that terest in the junior, ranks are among can -be carried on by the organiza- With the hope of stimulating polo interest which would culminate in a tournament for teams in north- eastern Oklahoma, Oklahoma Mili- tary academy’s hard-riding Cadets will oppose the Tulsa Jaycees at Mohawk field this afternoon at 2:30 o’clock in the opening game of the season. Maj. Glenn S. Finley, Cadet coach, said Saturday that he would like to see all polo teams in this section fin- ish the season with a two or three- day tournament. “We have about six good teams around here,” Finley said, “and with the increasing in- terest there is no reason why such a tournament couldn’t be arranged.” Major Finley has been a polo en- thusiast for 25 years. As an added attraction the Tulsa Round-up club will play a chukker of cowboy polo known as “Cholla,” invented two years ago by Paul Coze. A field 65 yards long is used with three players on each side. A six-armed jack that looks like a bas- ketball with padded arms is used for a ball and the players attempt to rope it and drag it to the end of the field. Russ Stamper, head of the Round-up club, announced that from 35 to 40 members of the club will be present, most of whom will play. Prior to the game they will put on an exhibition of riding and roping. *A second feature to be presented between halfs of the polo game will be an exhibition of a mounted ma- chine gun section. This consists of two guns, mounted on pack horses, and two squads of men. There will be a 25-cent admission for adults. Children will be admit- ted free. Probable starting line-ups: oO. M. A.

JOHNSON, 4 OTHER TULSANS TO FIGHT While the hand-picked field of 64 upper-crust amateur boxers were la- boring in preparation for the state A. A. U. boxing tournament, sched- uled for the Municipal auditorium at Oklahoma City, March 29 and 30 and April 1, a pretournament develop- ment in Tulsa captured the spotlight this week. Dennis Magirl, who has been tutor- ing five flossy Oil City gladiators in- vited for the meet, created the stir with an announcement that Richard Johnson, stout-hearted husky who threw a scare into Gordon Casey in the recent state Golden Gloves tour- nament, has forsaken 175-pound competition and has «shaved his poundage to below 160. Johnson, ranked sixth among the light heavies, was shoved into the No. 8 spot in the middleweight group, replacing McClain Wolfe- tongue of the Clinton CCC-ID. Wolfetongue becomes the first alter- nate, but will probably see action if Vincent Meyers, 160-pound Golden Gloves king is unable to fight as re- ported, Dick May Find Going Tough. Wayne Burns of Weatherford re- placed Johnson in the light -heavy- weight bracket. The Tulsa bomber is expected to find the going just as rough among the middleweight battlers as he did with the light-heavweights, but still must be considered more than an outside threat. Chances to win a state champion- ship are still brighter for plucky lit- tle Gomer Evans, Tulsa flyweight, who lost a disputed nod to Oklaho- ma City’s Gene Evans in the Golden Gloves finals. Home from winning the runner-up medal in the national Gloves at Chi- cago, Oklahoma City’s Evans has passed up a chance to appear against the New York team for the state A. A. U., but will fight at 118 pounds. With Gene out of the way, Go- mer’s chief opposition should come from Proctor Heinold, improving Oklahoma City youngster, and Bracy Murrow, dark-skinned belter from Fort Sill Indian school, Evans has one decision over Heinold. Other Tulsan’s expected to figure prominently are Deck Garman, 126- pound former flash at Oklahoma Mil- itary academy; Francis Harjo, stub- born lightweight, and John Robert- son, state A. A. U. junior heavy- weight champion in 1939. Taylor Says Garman Underrated. Jimmy Taylor, coach of the Okla- homa City team who accompanied the Sooner squad to the tournament of champions at Chicago, recently called Garman the most underrated amateur boxer in the state and ex- pects him to provide the most trou- ble for his own prize pupil, Bill Looker, state featherweight Gloves winner and a Chicago semifinalist. One of the unique features of the tournament will be the use of three- minute rounds in the finals. In the national jamboree, both semifinal and final spats are contested in. 3- minute heats. - , The weigh-in will be conducted at 2 o’clock on the afternoon of March 29, and contestants surviving the semifinal milling will be required to make weight again on Monday be- fore the finals. j In addition to an elaborate trip to Boston which will include stops in Chicago, Canada, Buffalo, Niagara Falls, New York City and Washing- ton, state champions will be given red, white and blue A. A. U. title jackets. COOKE, FABYAN WIN BERMUDA CROWNS —_—_———_— : HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 16 “(INS)—Elwood T.

Mat Card to Provide Milk for Many Babies A lot of Tulsa babies who are too young to forage for themselves will receive fresh, wholesome milk all year long because of the Fifth Annual Babis’ Free Milk fund wrestling program which will be presented Mon- day night at the Coliseum by Promoter Sam Avey. ofl Ua The fund was fattened to the extent of $1,500 last year and, as it has doubled since it was started, the promoter and supporters of the project fete ee are optimistically looking forward to a large turnout. “We can seat 7,800 people and can take care of even more, so there will not be a sell-out,” Promoter Avey said, “but early ticket sales have been so good and we have heard so much favorable comment that it will certainly be a big occasion.” Besides contributing to a worthy cause, fans Monday night will also witness one of the best cards Pro- moter Avey has ever offered—and he has been promoting here almost 16 years. ‘ James Has New ‘Title. The match between Denny Mc- Shain, who lost his light-heavy- weight championship only a few days.ago, and Joe Millich, a muscu- lar 187-pound newcomer from St. Louis, will headline the bill but there are several other numbers pushing it for interest. Jesse James, handsome Houston youngster, who has finally battled his way to the 175-pound title, will meet Billy Raburn of Atlanta in the semifinal, but it may be the last time James will be seen in a semifinal for a long time. Jesse whipped McShain and took the belt last Wednesday night in Oklahoma City, so he is an acknowl- edged headliner. However, he had already agreed to the match before he won the crown and willingly consented to go through with the bargain. “Td be tickled to be on the opener of this card—I think the milk fund for needy babies is a wonderful thing,” James said. Danny Is Sizzling. Regardless of the occasion, there will be no “milk of human kind- S. W.

Dandy Daniel is still sizzling over his upset loss to James, and can’t wait to fight his way back to the top. In Millich, however, he will be meeting a big fellow who is said to be a real standout, and may be destined for another thrashing. Mil- lich was recommended by Ray Steele, who recently beat Broncho Nagurski for the heavyweight title, but this merely confirmed the pro- moter’s opinion, as he had seen him in action. : James and Raburn, two of the best liked and fastest boys in their divi- sion, are sure to have a rapid-fire tussle. Raburn looked like a much improved wrestler in his bout here last week, the first he has had in Tulsa for a long time, so James will not have a cake-walk. Nick to Tackle Bear. who has been around too long to get himself “out on a limb” very often, may be on such a spot when he faces off with Ginger, the 350-pound wres- tling bear.

Now Nichols will do considerable fighting for a lot less than that, so he is sure to make a real try at bear hunting. the card, making six in all. The three supporting numbers will be: Monte LaDue vs. Taro Itano, Buck Weaver vs. Sailor Dick Trout and Larry Kasaboski vs. Jack Terry. Boys at the Mohawk home will at- tend in a group as guests of Police Commissioner Eddie Shields. There will be no advance in ad- mission, with the tickets priced at 25 cents, 60 cents and $1.
