Texas Takes Seventh Win
New York—(UP)—The record for basketball teams invading Madison Square Garden was evenly balanced today at seven wins and seven losses this season after victories last night by Texas and Washington State.
Texas, champion of the Southwest Conference, was hard-pressed to beat City College of New York, 61 to 59, before 18,184 fans, after Washington State used its greater height to beat Manhattan college, 58 to 54.
The Longhorns of Texas took a 12- point lead in the first half but so tired themselves that City College succeeded in knotting the score at 50-50 with eight minutes to play. The Texans got back in front, however, and freeze tactics in the final minute insured their seventh victory without a loss. Tom Hamilton had 22 points for the Longhorns and Irvin Dambrot had 15 for the Beavers.

Sugar Ray Favored To Keep Title
Detroit — (UP) — Ray "Sugar"
Robinson was a 6 to 1 favorite today
to retain his World's Welterweight
Championship tonight in his 15-
round bout against Chuck Taylor
with only his weight difficulties
keeping the odds from soaring even
higher.
The fight at Olympia stadium is expected to draw a $100,000 gate, largest in the stadium's history.
Robinson's handlers were extremely worried about the champion's chances of making the 147-pound weight limit. Taylor's handlers hoped Robinson's reducing efforts would leave him weak, unable to take a punch or to dish it out in his usual savage style.
The champion weighed 148½ lbs.
after working out yesterday and has
until 10 p.m. tonight to trim off the
extra pound-and-a-half.

Hospital Will Stay Open
As many students as possible will be released from Watkins hospital by Saturday for the Christmas vacation, Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, said today.
A Christmas dinner will be served students in the hospital Christmas day. A few surgical cases and students who stay over the vacation to study and become ill may be in the hospital on Christmas day, Dr. Canuteson said.
KU Gets 750 More Game Tickets
The hospital will open at the regular hours during the vacation with the exception of Christmas day. It will be open on New Year's day because a religious conference will be in session on the campus.
Orange Bewl officials have notified Earl Falconstien, athletic business manager, that the University will be allotted about 750 more tickets for the New Year's game at Miami.
These tickets are available because of an emergency expansion of the Miami stadium. The 750 seats will be in the new upper deck section which it "not completed but usable," Bowl officials said.
Mr. Falkenstien said the tickets were expected to arrive today. "The price is believed to be $6," he said, "and those persons who were refused tickets before must sign a new priority list. The number of tickets for each person will probably be four," he added.
