New Boxer May Be Tunney II
New York, Jan. 16—(UP)—Young Lavern Roach, the best boxer developed in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II, will attempt a landing in the big-time tonight as he makes his Madison Square Garden debut in a 10-round bout with classy young Tony Janiro.
Should the handsome, dark-brained middleweight from Plainview, Tex., get "the situation well in hand," his victory over Jamiro would please men of the leatherneck brand everywhere, for this Texan indeed is the "Pride of the Marines."
Roach recently was awarded a plaque symbolizing his boxing prowess by Gene Tunney, ex-heavyweight champion who was the top scraper developed by the Marines during the first World War. Moreover, Lavern has been taken under the wing of the Marine corps league.
Awarded Tunney Plaque
Roach will be tackling a stiff assignment tonight, despite his amateur successes as ace of the great boxing teams turned out in 1944 and 1945 by the Cherry Point, N. C., base, and despite his 26 victories in 27 professional fights.
Baby-faced Janiro of Youngstown, O., is only 21—the same age as Roach—but Janiro is a seasoned big-time performer. He has won 63 of 67 professional bouts, and he has participated in nine garden main events.
Marine Is Underdog
Because of Janiro's superior speed and experience, the Youngstown kid has been the betting favorite at a price that was as high as 9-5 early in the week, but has shortened to 6-5. Uncertainty about Janiro's condition caused the price to tighten. Tony is a playboy. At ring-time tonight betting may be at even money.
Clean-living Roach has registered 21 straight victories since he suffered his only defeat in his sixth start against Art Towne of New York. His victims included Herbie Kronowitz, Norman Rubio and Billy Arnold. Eighteen knockouts attest the fact that he is a fair puncher. He hit harder than Tony, and he expected to out-weigh Janiro about $157\frac{1}{2}$ pounds to 153.

Ed Mikan Leads DePaul; NY-Carolina Feud Fizzles
New York, Jan. 16-(UP)-The much publicized North Carolina-New York basketball rivalry in Madison Square Garden looked like just another game today when compared with the glowing "friendship" being developed by St. John's of Brooklyn and the Blue Demons of DePaul.
The meeting between North Carolina and N.Y.U., both hitherto undefeated, was touted as the feature of last night's double bill, but while the New Yorkers won easily, 63 to 34, to extend their streak to 11 games, the St. John's-DePaul contest stole the show.
DePaul won, 69 to 66, but it took the midwesterners two overtime periods to beat the Brooklyn team. In the end, it was another of the basketball playing Mikans, who provided the margin of victory. Little Ed' Wins Game
Big (6-foot 8-inch) Ed Mikan, younger brother of the famous George, who formerly led the Blue Demons, scored 21 points, sank the free throw that sent the game into the second overtime session, and finally won the nip-and-tuck struggle with two field goals in that final extra period.
DePaul overcame a 19-point deficit in the second half to score its 10th victory in 13 games.
North Carolina, undefeated in 12 previous games, never threatened N.Y.U. The Violets scored 15 straight points in the opening minutes and led 29 to 9 at the half.
Adolph Schayes, with 15 points,
Joe Kaufman, with 14, and Ray
Lumpm with 11, led the well-balanced
N.Y.U. offense.
Rhode Island Is Slowed
At Providence, R. L., undefeated Rhode Island State swamped New Hampshire for its eighth straight victory, 94 to 59. Rhode Island forward Bruce Blount scored 26 points as the running Rams boosted their two-day total to 198 points. They defeated Brooklyn College, 104 to 80. Wednesday night.
LaSalle of Philadelphia stretched its unbeaten streak to 11 games by defeating Georgetown, 48 to 35 and
MISSOURI FORWARD Thornton Jenkins lives up to his first name by making himself a thorn in the sides of Tiger opponents. Jenkins is second in scoring on the Tiger squad.
Oklahoma A & M beat Mississippi.
52 to 34, for its 13th triumph in 14 starts in other major contests.

Barbara Ann Scott Wins Skating Title
Richmond Open Led By Dutch Harrison
Richmond, Calif., Jan. 16—(UP)—One of the finest par-wrecking crews in golfing history, headed by the veteran E. J. "Dutch" Harrison of Little Rock, returned to the Richmond golf club today to renew one of the greatest assaults of all time on regulation figures.

day.
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Jan. 16—(UP)—Barbara Ann Scott, a classy lassie from Canada parlayed her way into the hearts of Czechoslovakian sports fans today with beauty and brilliance which enabled her to glide away to the European figure skating championship.
The opening field of 148 was trimmed to 100 and ties today.
in the highest score for a performance ever awarded in a rink here, and did it despite extenuating difficulties.
The combined assets of the American farmers, according to Federal statistics, is 111 billion dollars. Before the last war they were 54 billion.
Opening her performance with a terrific leap, she was promptly asked to repeat the maneuver because the loudspeaker suddenly went out of order and the announcer was unable to give the crowd a technical description of what she was doing.
Calm and showing no irritation, she made a second leap, a good or better than the first, then went on through her intricate routine to the accompaniment of soft waltz phonograph recordings which she took with her from Canada.

Don't expect your car to work its best when the grease and oil are heavy from cold weather. Be sure the proper grades of lubricant have been used throughout.
Most certainly not when you are stiff with cold.
