Eight of the 13 undefeated big- time teams will play in tourna- ments, Four others will continue their regular-season schedule, and only one, Auburn with five vic- tories, will not see any action.

Nearly $5,500 Grossed On Lions Conch Bowl Game ‘The Lions Club grossed over $5,- 400 in the Conch Bowl football game held recently, members learned at their meeting last week. The expenses for the game were estimated to be about $2,400 leav- ing a net profit of $3,000 for chari- t ry. Edelmiro Morales, ciub president reported that there is still a little money to come in and perhaps a few small expenses remaining to be paid. He added that the two should balance out leaving the pro- fit about the same. According to the agreement un- der which the benefit was played, one third goes to Navy Relief, one third to the Polio fund and the re- maining third for Lions Club chari- tes.

They arrived Page 6 Bowl, by sweet-talking Navy into making an appearance at New Or- leans, not only has landed the out- standing attraction on the New Year’s Day program but has scored a victory over its bowl ri- vals which could have a lasting and important effect upon the whole business uf post-season foot- ball. By going its own resolute way and declining to tie itself up with any athletic conference, as its principal rivals have done, the Sugar Bowl officials took a big gamble. A year ago it landed them in trouble. They even had diffi- culty selling tickets to their West Virginia-Georgia Tech attraction. But they can forget that sad ex- perience now and look forward with some confidence to ruling the roost. Since Navy, one of the most glit- tering of the independents, has broken the ice in consenting to play Mississippi on Saturday, it is the next thing to a mortal cinch that Army and Notre Damé will be- come receptive to similar bids in short order. Neither of the latter schools has been quite as dead set against bowl games as one might think. All they needed was a little shoving, really. Army, as a matter of fact, would have gone to the Rose Bowl in a holy minute in 1946 if it had Leen asked. That was the last year of the great Davis-Blanchard com- bination, and West Point officials would have liked to exhibit their wondrous scoring machine on the Six Boxers Died In Ring Accidents NEW YORK (#—Six boxers died in 1954 from ring injuries—a sharp Grop from the record 22 in 1953— Ring Magazine disclosed today in a copyrighted article in its Feb- ruary issue. a Editor Nat Fleischer of thé monthly boxing publication called the decline in fatalities from the year before one of the few bright spots in an otherwise drab year for the sport. Fleischer and his worldwide staff selected heavyweight cham- pion Rocky Marciano as “Fighter of the Year” and singled out Ar- gentina’s Pascual Perez, ' world flyweight champion, for its “‘prog- ress of the year” award. In 1953, 12 pros and 10 ama- teurs, died following ring injuries. Fight of the fatalities occurred in the United States and 14 in for- eign countries. In 1954, three amateurs and three pros succumbed, four here and two abroad. There wasn’t a pro death until Nov. 30 when British welterweight Bobby Callaghan died in London after boxing a six round draw. Then Ralph Weiser, a Portland, Ore., lightweight and Ed Sanders, Olympic heavyweight champion, from Los Angeles, died on suc- cessive days, Dec. 11 and Dec. 12th. The amateur victims were Po- lice Constable Vaipou Ainu’u, 35, at Samoa, Feb. 18; Airman Jesse L. Hylton, 22, at Oakland, Calif., and Aviation Ordnanceman M. G. Byrd, 22, at Pensacola, Fia., Sept. 9. Fleischer listed increased safe- ty measures and closer coopera- tion among the state commissions as the major reasons for the de- cline in fatalities, Navy, Ole Miss Hold Stiff Drills NEW ORLEANS #—Navy and | Mississippi were set today to open final practice sessions for their New Year's Day football battle in the Sugar Bowl.

As we recall, though, the Coast Conference already had committed itself to its present bowl pact with the Big 10 and could not invite the Cadets. As almost everyone must be aware by this time, there is con- siderable rivalry between our two service academies. Neither school especially likes for the other to re- ceive more than its fair share of publicity, and there is no question that Navy stole a march in that 'respect this time. As for Notre Dame, there have been recurring rumors for several years that the Irish were about eady to play in a bowl game if the right invitation came along. One hears that there has been some pressure from the alumni. So far the rumors have been strongly denied as fast as they popped up, but they might not be the next time. The new coach, Terry Brennan, being very young and ambitious, might feel differ- ently about post-season activities than his predecessor, Frank Leahy, did. The Irish have not played in a! bowl since 1925. One of the reasons Army has| advanced for not accepting bowl | bids recently was that such a trip would deprive members of their team of their Christmas vacations. Navy, by waiting until today to fly to New Orleans, has demonstrated that the rigors of travel no longer are what they used to be. The en- thusiasm with which the Middies | voted to play in the Sugar Bowl| also proved that they did not re- gerd the expedition as a hardship. 1 =a Baseball Set ind City Winter Baseball League action will resume Tuesday at 7:30 p. m. when the USS Bushnell will cross bats with the Poinciana Giants. the Bushnell will battle the Cuban Club and on Thursday the Junior Conchs will tackle the Poinciana Gi- ants. Brion Meets Bucceroni In TV Feature By MURRAY ROSE NEW YORK ® — Heavyweights Dan Bucceroni and Cesar Brion meet tonight in what could be billed as a battle for survival at New York’s’ St. Nicholas Arena (DuMont-TV, 10 p.m., EST.). Although neither has been doing well of late, they still possess for- midable won-lost records. Bucce- roni, of Philadelphia, has a 46-5 slate with 30 knockouts. Brion’s record is 43-10 with 20 kayos. The heavyweight class being what it is today, it doesn’t take more than two good showings to get back in the rankings. It only took two wins by Charley Norkus to get back in the money, and Buc- ceroni and Brion hope to do the same. Wildcat Billy McNeece, a crowd pleasing 22-year old middleweight from Islip, N. Y., takes on veteran Bobby Dykes of Miami at Brook- lyn’s Eastern Parkway in the other TV show tonight (ABC-TV, 10 p.m., EST). Winner of three straight, the rangy, blond wildcat is rated one of the best prospects in the boom- ing middleweight division with a 13-2 record. His aggressive style is | right up Dykes’ alley. Bobby, a smart boxer, likes his opponents to | come to him, Dykes’ record is 95-15-6. Final Bayview Pk.

These dances have been enjoyed Woman’s Net Play To Start Tuesday Pairings were announced to day for the city woman's ten nis championshio tourney slat- ed to start Tuesday on the Bay view Park courts. In the opening match, top seeded Lynn Sellers will meet former city champion Marie Rendueles. Sheila Johnson and Florida State University sophomore Do- lores Villate will meet in an- other first round match while June Yates, also an FSU lum- inary, will tackle Audrey Me- Lean. In a tourney for boys 13 years old and under, city ten- nis pro Les Jahn also announ- ced the following pairings: Dick Collins vs. Dick Sender- ling; Doug Polumbaum vs. Har- old Cates and Bill Collins vs. Peter Polumbaum. Vandy Cager Is Sixth In Nat'l Scoring By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS As basketball players grow, Bob- by Thym is no tree-topper. But the Vanderbilt forward gets the job done in fine fashion. The 6-foot-1 sophomore trouble shooter for the Commodores col- lected 57 points in his last two games and rocketed up from no- where to grab sixth place among the Southeastern Conference's lead- ing scorers. Thym (he pronounces it “Tim”) is a pre-medical student from St. Louis. Last year Bob Polk, veteran Vandy coach, called Bobby the best freshmen he’d ever had. As a soph- omore, he’s even better. Although he led the Commodores in field goal accuracy last year and was second only to all-SEC Dan Finch in Vandy scoring and rebounds, he was even more spar- Kling as a defensive star. Thym’s 30 - point production against Texas last week brought his four-game total to 79 for an average of 19.8. Denver Brackeen, whose Missis- sippi team was idle last week, took sole possession of first place in the averages when Tennessee’s Ed Weiner was held to 13 points against South Carolina. Brackeen, a senior, has averaged 25.0 points in Ole Miss’ five games. Wiener dropped from a tie with Brackeen to third place with a 23.8 average. Jack Kirkpatrick of Auburn, also idle, moved up to second with his 24.3 mark. Alabama’s Jerry Harper hit for 28 points against Nebraska to pull his average above the 20 per game mark, In six games, the Crimson Tide wheelhorse bucketed 127 Points for a 21.2 average. Five SEC teams are participat- ing in tournaments which open Monday night. Georgia and Flor- ida are in Jacksonville for the Ga- tor Bow meet, Alabama is in the Southwest Conference tourney at Houston, Georgia Tech is in Buf- falo, N.Y., for the Queen City af- fair and Ole Miss is in the All American City tourney at Owens- boro, Ky. Kentucky’s Wildcats, ranked No. 1 nationally, and Vandy are the only other teams competing dur- ing the holiday period. Coach Adolph Rupp’s crew takes on St. Louis, a bitter rival, in Lexington Thursday night. Vanderbilt is host to Stanford Wednesday night. Kentucky and Florida top the standings with five straight vic- tories each, Auburn and Vandy have 40 marks. Louisiana State, a terror on the courts last year and runnerup to Kentucky for the | SEC title, is on the bottom of the standings with a 2-5 mark. No games counting toward the | conference championship have been played yet. Shriners Chalk Browns’ Title Up Deficit On Annual Grid Tilt The Shriners lost over $1,000 by | sponsoring the Shrine Bowl bene- fit football game held recently be- tween the freshmen teams of the Universities of Miami and North} Carolina. | It was reported to The Citizen | that the loss was because of a last minute request by the North Caro- ina team to fly to Key West in- stead of coming by bus as had been by dancers and spectators alike and are looked forward to by many. | Previously planned.

The Browns won their first tri-| umphs in nine starts against a Buddy Parker-coached Lion team, but the runaway didn’t develop un- til after a first quarter tide-chang- | er which puzzled TV viewers. This came, with Detroit ahead 3-0 on Doak Walker’s field goal. Cleveland’s punter was roughed on the same play in which De-| troit’s receiver apparent!y signaled for a fair catch then was clob-| bered deep in Lion territory. The Brown punter, Horace Gil-| lom, was racked up by Lion guard Harley Sewell, just after lofting a! fourth-down punt to Detroit’s Jug Girard. After signaling a fair catch, Girard moved three strides | to his right and did not have con- trol of the ball when he was smacked down. | What the TV audience never) learned was that officials ruled | Girard, “‘muffing the ball,” never had enough control to warrant in- fraction of the fair-catch ruling. | That left the roughing-the-punter | violation standing alone, instead of | being wiped out in a double} penalty. So Cleveland got a first down on Detroit’s 35 and two plays later,| Graham hurled a 37-yard touch- down pass to speedy Ray Renfro. That was the game’s turning point. The Browns took a 7-3 lead and steadily enlarged it. Detroit’s Bobby Layne for the first time in the Lion-Brown rival- ry compared poorly with Graham. Layne had six passes intercepted, and every break went against him. Statistically, the Browns out- tushed Detroit by a scant 140 to 136 yards, and in passing the Lions were ahead, 195 to 163. But what the figures didn't tell was how Graham outwitted and outmaneu- vered the Lions. Passing twice to Renfro and once to end Pete Brewster for touch- downs, and in smashing over from the 5-yard line and 2 and 1-foot lines, Graham set three playoff marks. Graham's three touchdowns set title-game scoring marks with 18 points, most six-pointers and most touchdowns by running. After the six touchdowns Graham either passed or carried, the Browns produced a 12-yard touch- down run by Curly Morri on and a 10-yard scoring scamper by Chet Hanulak.

Divorcee Seeks Haven In Denmark COPENHAGEN, Denmark (P —/| An American divorcee ordered out of Britain sought temporary haven | here today and blamed American “pressure” for her plight. U.S. officials denied any part in the case. The woman, 32-year-old Mrs. Jean Butler, flew here yesterday with her British fiance, Clive Jenkins, a British trade union official. She plans to marry him here when her divorce becomes final in February, then return with him to England as a British citi- zen. Mrs. Butler has been in Britain for the past five years, employed recently as a curator at a London museum.

Trabert, tight-lipped and deter- mined, cut down powerful Lewis Hoad in the first match. 6-4, 2-6, 12-10, 6-3. Seixas, scrapping 31- year-old United States champion, evened a long and embarrassing jinx by trouncing little Ken Rose- all, 8-6, 6-8, 6-4, 6-3. “Two down and three to go,” exultantly said Bill Talbert, non- playing captain of the Americans |as he congratulated his victorious athletes in the dressing room. “We'll clinch the cup tomorrow , in the doubles. And then Wednes- day's final matches _ will singles Only one other time in the his- tory of this storied internaiional tennis competition dating back to 1900 has a team lost the opening tory. In tomorrow’s doubles, with the United States leading 2-0, Amer- ica will send out Trabert and Seixas again against Australia’s Hoad and Rosewall. The Ameri- cans, who have established them- selves as the best in the world, will be overwhelmingly favored. Harry Hopman, a disappointed Aussie captain, has the choice be- tween Rosewall and Hoad or Rex Hartwig and Mervyn Rose, who have a brilliant doubles record. But both Hartwig, just up from mumps, and Rose, a lefthander of shifting temperament, have been mediocre in practice this week and appear certain to watch the dou- bles from the sidelines. “I was very proud of both Tony and Vic,” said Talbert, whose ridi- culed prediction of a 5-0 sweep now looks like a good bet. “Both of them followed our battle plans aimost to the letter and’ they showed great fighting qualities.” A crowd of 25,578, largest crowd ever to see a tennis match any- where, sat in the big wood and steel saucer for the day’s program | . and most of them took a linger- ing look at the gleaming Davis Cup as they left the arena. This is the fourth year Seixas and Trabert have come to Aus- tralia in an effort to wrest back the trophy taken to the bottom of the world in 1950 but every pre- vious mission has been in vain. Trabert, his teeth clinched with determination, “started shakily against Hoad, who has been in a terrible slump. But he held on grimly to gain the decision. In the 22-game third set, which lasted more than an hour, Tony fought off one set point in the 17ch game, twice came back from| . 15-40 on his own service and won the set with a powerful serve- volley exhibition in the 22nd game. It was areal tonic for ex-sailor Trabert of Cincinnati, who had taken 4-1 and 4-2 leads in the set only to have Hoad rally to tie it up. Hoad, who had explained his year-long slump recently by say- ing he was “fed up” with tennis, served eight double faults and Most of them were costly. Seixas, who had lost to Rose- |wall eight of the nine times they jhad met and the last six times in a row, made good his boast he would end the Indian sign. | He followed Captain Talbert’s instructions to serve to Rosewall’s |forehand and move to the net | swiftly; also to attack Rosewall’s | Second service and, if possible, the first with a shot to the forehand. | “Vie followed our campaign | Strategy to the letter,” Talbert | Said. “I was very proud of him.” Rosewall had two set points in \the first set against Seixas, hold- ing a 40-15 lead in the ninth game but Seixas pulled out with a strong volley to the backline and then a forcing shot at Rosewall’s feet | which was flubbed into the, net.

Robert Oppenheimer ad- vises that men cling to friends, love and tradition in order to sur- vive the complexities of modern times. | Oppenheimer, who got caught! up in one of the world’s current complexities last June when the Atomic Energy Commission barred him ‘from its secrets as a secu- rity risk, said in a nationwide ra- dio speech yesterday: “There has always been more to knéw than one man could know .+ yet never before today has the diversity, the complexity, the Tichness, so clearly defined heir- archial order and simplifica- tion... “Never before today has the in- tegrity of the intimate, the de-! tailed, the true art, the integrity of craftmanship and preservation of the familiar, of the humorous and the beautiful stood in more massive contrast to the vastness of life, the greatness of the globe, the otherness of people, the other- ness of ways and the all encom- passing dark.” “This is a world,” Oppenheimer | continued, “in which each of us| . . will have to cling to what is | close to him, to what he knows, to what he can do, to his friends and his tradition and his life, lest he be dissolved in a universal con- fusion and know nothing and love nothing.” Oppenheimer, now head of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N. J., made no refer- ence to the AEC decision that de- stroyed his standing as a leader in government nuclear research. During World War Il, he had been in charge of the Los Alamos, N. M., atomic bomb laboratory. He spoke of the “massive char- acter of the dissolution and cor-; Tuption of authority, in belief, in ritual and in temporal order,” and added: “The techniques, among which and by which we live, multiply and ramify, so that the whole world is bound together by com- munication, blocked here and there by the immense synapses of po- litical tryanny.” Oppenheimer’s speech was the final one in a series commemo- | rating the 200th anniversary of | Columbia University, ‘ sigan eicaased allow Negroes to be admitted to | the university,” she added, The woman claimed that “‘some- one in the United States has brought pressure on the British authorities to make me leave and return to America.” A U.S. Embassy spokesman in London said “America has nothing | to do with the deportation order.” | University of Missouri records show Mrs. Butler graduated from | a New York City High School as Jean Lynn Rogovin and entered | ROGER BANNISTER inches.
