Here’s Turpin, onetime conquer- jor of the great Ray Robinson and a former champion himself, rated a 2-1 underdog against the man who was stopped and beaten by Robinson. ir Coast conferences. second fight but the strong invader ‘seemed on his way to victory when Ruby in halted the bout with eight seconds left in the round, The feeling, of course, is that the 25-year-old British Negro has ‘slipped since fighting Robinson and that Olson has come along at a rapid rate. But more than that is the Tur- pin’s strange training procedure. He has boxed only 28 rounds since he arrived in America a month ago. Randy, himself, said that he will be in top shape and that too much boxing would make him stale, But Jack Solomons, the British pro- moter who always has had the big say in Turpin’s career, has gone jon record: as ‘saying he “doesn’t Ls vader Randy’s training meth- “He hasn't boxed enough,” said ‘Solomons, “If it goes 15 rounds, Olson will win.” It could be that the British are playing possum.

The No. 1 in-' dependent, Notre Dame, last week’ squelched reports that it might feverse a long-standing policy against postseason games and take a Sugar Bowl bid. Eight months of negotiations for, ‘the Orange Bowl pact were com- pleted in Kansas City yesterday when faculty representatives of the Big Seven voted in favor it. The! Atlantic Coast group already had voiced its approval. Orange Bowl President W. Bruce MacIntosh said there still are some details to be worked out, includ-| ing whether the conferences will allow the same teams to play in) the bowl two years in a row. How-' ever, Executive Secretary Reaves, E. Peters of the Big Seven said that conference definitely would not: let its champion play in the bowl on successive years. Macintosh said the Orange Bowl would “accept the selection of each! \conference” for the game. i Under the agreement, each team has been guaranteed $110,000 for! the 1954 game and $112,000 for the 1955 contest.

RATLIFF DALLAS .#—Texas. League club lowner Dick Burnett said today he| thought great progress had been |made toward getting changes in the baseball laws that will “give the minor leagues a chance to sur- vive.” Burnett, owner of the Dallas) jclub, called a meeting attended over the. weekend by presidents) and representatives of 23 minor jleagues and representatives of six! major. league clubs. ‘The minor leaguers approved legislation that would give them| a greater voice in the framing of baseball laws, bring about an un-| restricted draft, pay the players) Part of their purchase or draft! for the lower minors (class B down broadcasts and telecasts of major| league games in minor league ter- ritory and create a revised minor league agreement.

Burnett figured several of the items would help baseball in its| fight.to retain the reserve clause, a matter now in the Supreme Court. The unrestricted draft, which Burnett also said would end chain baseball, and payment of Part of the sales price—they set! it at 10 per cent—to the players were cited as the points that would help the game in seeking to retain the reserve clause. This law of baseball gives a club sole owner- ship of a player who has signed a contract with it and he must either play with that club or not Play at all. “Many are down on baseball be- cause they have the idea that its contracts place players in servi- tude,” Prentice Wilson, Burnett's attorney who framed the legisla- tion, said. “Giving the player part ‘of his sales or draft price and an| unrestricted draft that gives him| the chance to advance in his pro-| Pia should remove that preju-| ce.” Statistics show that the average football player at Brandeis U, is’ 19 years old, weighs 190 pounds. stands 5-11. _ with records than with the sport|the four-minute mile last summer, itself.

Sports Roundup By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (#—The most heart- rending figure in the land as the cold winter days approach is the football expert. He bas a faraway look in his eyes—that of a- man who has seen his life work dis- rupted and plumb ruined by a will- ‘ful little group of rule changers. Under the current chaotic con- ditions he can have only the fog- giest idea of who will lick whom on any football Saturday. He can only guess—and hope—and he knows he is going to begin hear- ing from his readers by the basket- full, if he hasn’t aiready. The unfairness of it all is what rankles. When they slugged the two-platoon system and went back ‘to what one prominent coach called “horse and buggy football,” Practically everybody even remote- ly connected with the game was polled on the probable effect of the change. Coaches, educators| and even players were asked their opinions.
