_ Niagara Mauls Syracuse | To Up Court Standing Eagles Want Another Shot At LaSalle By JOHN CHANDLER The Associated Press Niagara University’s Purple Ea gles, rated No. 10 nationally in col- lege basketball circes, headed into the Midwest today for a Saturday night date with Toledo, but it won’t be until after Christmas that a definite line can be drawn on Coach Taps Gallagher’s fine club. The Eagles made it 5-1 for the young season last night by mauling Syracuse 99-74 at Niagara Falls, N.Y., and they have only the Tole- do engagement before zooming into the Holiday Festival Tournament starting Dec. 27 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. That’s the one Niagara is wait- ing for, because it possibly will af- ford the Eagles another crack at LaSalle, currently rated No, 1 in the AP poll. Last Saturday La- Salle’s NCAA champions edged Ni- agara 76-75 in the final six seconds an overtime. period. Center Ed Fleming again was Niagara’s big man last night witn 26 points. He played less than half! the game as the Eagles rolled up a 5431 halftime lead. | There was little action on the college courts last night. At the Garden, the Temple Owls proved they will be tough. They upset St. John’s of Brooklyn 77-69, Temple, with a 5-1 record, has only a 70-65 defeat by North Carolina State marring its record. | Maurice Stokes, a classy 6-foot- ! 6 pivot man, led St, Francis (Pa.) | to an easy 88-59 victory in the | other half of the Garden double- | header. | Western Kentucky outscored Colorado State 27-17 at the foul line for a 75-67 victory. Oklahoma City sent out five sophomores to down Texas Christian 63-44. It was OC’s first victory in four starts. Davidson led Virginia Tech all the way until Bill Matthews scored a field goal in the final four sec- onds to give VPI a 71-70 Southern Conference verdict. Fordham ended a two-game los- ing streak by defeating Colgate 55-51, and Harvard’s foul shooting beat Middlebury 54-51. The NAIA Tipoff Tournament opened at Kansas City, and two former champions were knocked out, Arkansas Tech eliminated St. Benedict’s of Kansas, 1954 cham- pions, 87-59, while Springfield (Mo.) State, the 1952-53 tourney winners, got it from Tennessee A&I 77-57, Im other NAIA games Gustavus Adolphus (Minn.) defeated East Texas State 59-51, and Rockhurst won from Western Illinois 72-65.

BAKER SEEKS TO UP RATING IN WALLACE GO NEW YORK @#—If Bob Baker, a 1-3 favorite, disposes of Coley Wallace tonight, the giant Pitts- burgh Negro may find himself all dressed up with no place to go. Ranked No. 4 among heavy weight challengers, Baker has ev- erything to lose and little to gain against Wallace. Big Bob gave Wallace a decisive whipping at Cleveland Oct. 1, dropping him once and slamming him around the ring in*the late rounds. They meet again in a 10-rounder ait Madison Square Garden. Baker, like all heavyweights, has his eye on a shot at Rocky Mar- ciano’s title, but he’ll have to take his place at the end of the line. Don Cockell, the British boxer, is a good bet to get the June match with Marciano, when and if Rocky decides to go back w work, Nino Valdes, the big Cuban Open Bowling Available 2 P.M. SCOTCH DOUBLES TOURNAMENT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, from 2:00 P.M. till 9:00 P.M. who knocked out Hurricane Tom- my Jackson, is No. 1 in most rat- ings. Cockell and Valdes look like the next two opponents for Rocky with both fighting to be first. That leaves Baker on the out- side looking in, although he holds a decision over Valdes, scored at} Huntington, W. Va., May 21, 1953} the Cuban’s last defeat. After many disappointments since he whipped Wallace in the 1949 Golden Gloves Baker finally has buckled down to work, Since he was stépped by Archie Moore in March, he has run up a five- fight winning streak against Joe Baksi, Embrel Davidson, Toxie Hall, Walace and Jimmy Slade He has a 36-5-1 pro record. Wallace, best known for his movie job in “The Joe Louis Story,” has a good 20-4 record. His main trouble has been a habit of laying off six months between fights. The match will be carried on NBC radio and television.

Ci U.S. Downs Sweden In Davis Cup Play By WILL GRIMSLEY BRISBANE, Australia () — Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert sent the United States into the Davis Cup Challenge Round again today with a smoothly contrived 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 doubles victory over Sweden’s Lennart Bergelin and Sven David- son, The triumph made the Yanks’ margin in the best-of-five event 3-0 and makes tomorrow’s two final singles matches mere formalities, In fact, nonplaying captain Billy Talbert said he would rest Seixas and send national intercollegiate champion Hamilton Richardson of Tulane into the fray against David- son. Trabert will play Bergelin. Until someone comes along to prove otherwise, Seixas and Tra- bert must be regarded as the best tandem in amateur tennis. They certainly looked the part in whip- Ping Bergelin and Davidson, a pair of Swedes who had been at the top of their games. Some experts Down Under pre- dicted that Sweden, in fact, might gain the Challenge Round. But Tal- bert said his boys would win the Interzone by 5-0. Now he looks to be right. There was some doubt as to Tra- way. Tony admittedly was off form, but from the impression he gave in both his singles victory and today’s doubles, he could have been playing possum. He was tremendous. So was Seixas, and between them they gave the be- fuddled Swedes little to hit. Thre was only one service break in each of the first two sets and two in the final set. But the second break in the third set came about in the final game after the Swedes had given up. Actually, they played quite well against a markedly superior tandem, In the final analysis, it was the Americans’ ability to come back when they were behind that won it for them. Sports Shorts DELAND (#—Held to a close score through the first half, Stetson scored seven quick field goals after the intermission and coasted to a 91-59 basketball victory over Elon College last night. Ted Cassidy, Stetson center, was high scorer with 21 points, Dave Maddox led Elon with 17, WINTER PARK (®#—Two of Rol- lins’ top basketball players came down with virus infections yester- day but the Tars beat the Citadel 84-71 without them last night. Bob MacHardy and Bill Cost became ill in classes during the day and missed the game. Dick Costello took up the slack, scoring 28 points. He got 20 of them in the second half, when Rol- lins pulled away. MIAMI (®—The University of Florida Gators won their fifth straight basketball victory here last night, downing the University }of Miami 70-61. Each team had 21 field goals but Miami missed eight first shot fouls while Florida missed only two. Florida led 21-18 after 15 minutes then cut loose for 23 points in five minutes to sew up the game.
