Persistent rumors that Gavilan may have injured his right hand in training caused the odds to lengthen from yesterday's 7-5. The Keed's handlers have repeatedly denied the rumors.
Olson, Gavilan Fight For Middleweight Title
Chicago —(U.P.)— Carl (Bobo) Olson and Kid Gavilan from the widely separated islands of Hawaii and Cuba will meet tonight at Chicago stadium in what shapes up as a classic "battle of champions."
Should Gavilan triumph, he will be the second man to make the immediate transition from welterweight champ to middleweight ruler. Only the great Sugar Ray Robinson did it before. Robinson turned the trick in the same stadium ring on Feb. 14, 1951, when he stopped Jake LaMotta in the 13th round.
After a late check with the box office, Secretary Truman Gibson of the International Boxing club said, "We expect 18,000 paid spectators and a gross gate of about $220,000." In addition, the TV-radio fee is $100,000. Prices for reserved seats ranged from $5 to $30.
Twenty-eight-year-old Gavilain will not be risking his 147-pound crown while challenging for 25-year-old Olson's 160-pound title. However, should the speedy Cuban win tonight, he will automatically relinquish his welterweight title. A tournament would be staged for the vacant crown.
Olson has been favored at fluctuating odds ever since the match was made. One of the reasons was his generally expected weight advantage of about seven pounds. He was expected to uphold the ancient adage: "A good big man can always beat a good little man."
Pallid-faced, prematurely balding Olson, who spent most of his life in Honolulu, was a solid favorite at 2-1 to keep his middleweight crown in the scheduled 15-rounder with the slender welterweight ruler from Camaguey, Cuba.
The fight contract provides that if the "Keed" wins tonight he must gain. Olson a return title bout within 30 days at a site to be selected.
Tommy Ryan, Mickey Walker, and Lou Brouillard lost their welter crowns before winning the middle-weight bonnet.
In one of his three test defenses last year, Gavilan had a close call with Carmen Basilio at Syracuse, N.Y. Basilio floored him once and pressed him in every round. But the "Keed" wound up with a disputed decision. Doug Ratford, another pressure fighter, twice clipped the wings of the Cuban hawk back in 1947 and '48; and Robert Villemain outpointed him in 1950.
Marcia Hinginer, college junior,
was elected president of Xi chapter
of Sigma Kappa sorority. Other officers are Eleanor Major, college sophomore, first vice-president; Jerry Ann Street, education junior, recording secretary; Jo Dillsaver, college sophomore, corresponding secretary; Juliane Keeter, college sophomore, treasurer; Doris Reiner, education junior, registrar; Ina May Brewster, college sophomore, rush chairman, and Joanne Van Hoozer, college sophomore, social chairman.
