SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1946 ROCKY ROCKS HORNE ---NOT HARD ENOUGH "Golden Bofer-O Streak Ends But He Wins Bout Hard Way NEW YORK, Jan. 19. — Rocky Graziano's senational knockout streak is ended today but, in win- ning a fight the hard way boxing's current “golden boy” showed that he may be ready to give middle- weight champion Tony Zale plenty of trouble. Rockabye Rocky’s six-fight flat- tering record came a _cropper against Sonny Horne in Madison Square Garden last night but the slugger from New York's East Side Jooked impressive as he belted out a ten-round decision. Despite the fact that Horne is noted for his punch-taking prow- ess and had walked off with seven victories in eight fights since his 1elease from the Navy, the betting boys had made Graziano a 1 to 3 choice to win and a 5 to 8 fa- vorite to stop the Valley Stream, N. Y., boxer. A packed house of 18907 cus- tomers who contributed to a $108,~ 974 gross gate—Graziano's third straight “hundred grand” gate-ex- pected Rocky to make good the odds in the first round when he' unlimbered his ‘Big Tom right and| staggered Horne. But the former Ohioan weathered the storm and although he took a severe shellack- ing in a number of other frames and seemed on his way out in the tenth, he was still on his feet at the end. As a matter of fact, Graziano, who feasted mainly on welter- weights during his sleep-producing run, wasn't able to floor his blond opponent. And for the first time in a long spell Graziano was out- weighed—15512 to 156% FINAL SCORES ATBASKETBALL The following are final scores of Lasketball games played last night in various sections of the States: Vanderbilt 38; Southwestern 20.

Mistakes will be made, I suppose. T might | overlook some fine players. But it 1 do they won't be lost to ue. They'll still be on one of our Farm Clubs.” Joe estimated there would be some 35 candidates at St. Peters- burg and Bradenton whom he eith- er had not seen play in the past | three years or never had seen in action “Frankly,” he continued, “I'm not g0 much worried about recognizing the new talent as I am in detect- ing whether some of our older stars might have reached or passed their peak while they were in the ser- vice, It's entirely possible that some of them did. They are the ones who are going to be in thy cwn camp at St. Petersburg and who will make the training tour through Texas with me.” The Yankee boss was entirely serious when he asked the baseball writers not to engage in a protect- | ed guessing game about what he {would do with his great second- baseman, Joe Gordon, who is due ‘back from the service. It is quite {a problem, for George Stirnweiss | Geveloped into a beauty while Gor- | don was away, leading the Ameri- | can League in batting and in stol- !en bases the past season.

Bears Put Up Fight Juneau High played its usual high- ly competent game. Tight guarding tactics from Subport cut down the shooting scores of such excellent for- | wards as Mead, Merritt and Aase, and the team seemed unable to block Subport’s shooting with any strong counter defense action of its own. Behind in the scoring from the be- ginning of the game, Juneau's Bears put up a strong fight. wrest a substantial lead at any point in the game, the team changed from man to man, to zone defense, to what appeared to be a combination of the two during the game. Particularly notable in their effort to effect a break-through by fast movement around Subport guards were Aase and Merritt. Aass and O’Connor were high scorers for the Crimson Bears with 8 points each, and Mead, second with 7 points. Surprise Game The PAA-Douglas Firemen game was another surprise package for last night's fans. Douglas Firemsn, admittedly one of the strongest teams in the league, had a hard struggle to win by 8 points over PAA, one of the weaker teams. Although fans were used to seeing the Clipper team pull off sudden spurts of ex- cellent playing, they were not pre- pared to see the team play an entire game of fast, effective basketball. There was nothing gremlin-like about PAA's playing last night. The team operated well as a unit and individual playing was good. Moscrip was high man with 9 points and Wil- son second with 7. A newcomer Doepke scored three points and by the end of the game had achieved a first night reputation of above- average basketball playing. Douglas Firemen continued to play A-1 basketball in their fourth game of the season. McDaniels starred as top-scorer (14 points) and as a play- er in general. Hickey was second high-scorer with 13 points. Brown | with only one field goal to his credit was obviously off his usual game, but contributed in large measure to the machinery of the all-over team work. In the first two quarters, PAA had a slight lead margin on the Fire- Subport F.G. F.T. | McGuire | Kessnick | Krogman Dompk Stewart | Dompke Substitute: Woods. Total points by team: 35.
