EIGHT THE 6ASTONIA (N. GAZETTE FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1MI. Cromerton Eagles Capture Sixth Straight Progressive Loop Win Progressive League teams are today if high-flying Eagles can be stopped. Last night. Coach Ted Recce's boys hung up their sixth straight victory at Lithium Corporation's expense, 88-42, in a strictly one-sided game.

Blackwell scored 32 points and Stowe 25 for the Eagles. Hager's 25 topped Lithium's attnck. Also in the Progressive Lessur. Ranlo Shell took the measure of Dallas, 41-28, with Bob Russell's 15 points pacing the victory. Sam Rhyne scored eight for Dallas.

Still another Progressive encounter found Groves stopping Stanley by a score of 57 to 47. Ken Phillips was high man on the scoring pole with 18 points. Stanley was led by R. J. Reid, who tallied 17.

Wave Quint, Whirlies In Fracas Here It seems stranee, but the sec a lot of service tonight, tonia Green Wave will be going 1 So will sophomores Jimmy Sum- after their first Western AA.Vmey and Sammy Jackson. Conference win tonight in Wray gym when they mcei Greensboro. Bob Jamieson's Purple Whir- lies aren't exactly a team to use as the whipping boy for the Greenies to snap their five-cimt. losing streak. Salisbury troumprl them in their last outing, but! the Whirlies scared every coach I in the conference when they got! past Charlotte Central in their opening game.

Paced by Center Doug Albright and Guard Owen Johnson, the Whirlies stand 1-1 in loop play. Gastonia is 0-2, having been beaten by Burlington and Winston-Salem, neither a powerhouse. An unexplainable fourth quarter jinx has hounded the Green- ies in their post-Christmas. They normally hold the lead going into the final period, but they fold. It might be a refreshing change lor bewildered Coach Ted Carter tonight if they're trailing after three quarters.

George Winecoff will replace Butch Webb at a guard post in tonight's lineup. Little Butch is out with the flu. Coach Carter isn't petting drastic yet, despite his team's poor results of late. Other than Webb, he'll start the same players who always are on hand -at the opening tipoff. "However, I'm going to sub- KtituU more freely," comments Carter, "That's in hopes that our boys will then be ready for a fourth period drive.

We've just absolutely given out before." Two tall reserves, Joel Gibson and J. W. Blackwood, are sure Open Bowling Tonite! WED. League Nights on Mon. Tues.

Ronnie Shavlik, State's beanpole center, and Bob O'Brien of Maryland each had 22 paints to ead their teams.

A crowd of 10,400 saw the game, a record bas- tetball crowd for the state of Maryland. Davidson almost upset Furman in a Southern Conference but the Hurricane man- ged a 72-70 victory.

Continue To Leave Guild JACK HAND- NEW rush of fight managers to desert the Boxing Guild of New York'continued today as Julius Helfand, chairman the New York State Athletic Commission, set January 19 hearing -on charges against the Monday night televised fight from St. Nicholas Arena.

Helfand's office announced last night that 28 members had left the broken guild and many more had called to ask about the proper procedure of resigning. Another batch of resignations was expected in today's mail. The specific charges against matchmaker Tex Sullivan, Treasurer Willie Gilzenberg and the London Sporting Club, which promotes at St. Nick's, was expected to be the "convlncer" for managers who can't make up mind. Sullivan and GUzenbevg hit with eight charges and the jondon Sporting Club with seven.

The two men were ordered to appear Thursday to show cause why their licenses and the club's icenses shouldn't be revoked. Helfand chaj-ged Sullivan and Gilzenberg with "consorting with persons convicted of crime, nakers, gamblers and persons of similar pursuits" in violation of state law. 'Last week at a press conference he accused the St.j Nick's promoters of associating i with men with criminal records in attempting to move their op- era tions to Baltimore; effective January 23. The two men also were charged with trying to move to Baltimore as a "subterfuge" to enable guild members to "circumvent and sabotage" the commission in its rule forbidding membership in the guild after January 16. In effect, the men were charged with conspiring to work with the guild to knock out boxing in New York and move it "out of the jurisdiction of the commission.

While Helfand was in Florida on vacation, the St. Nick's promoters received permission from the Maryland commission to move to Baltimore, saying they couldn't make matches in New York after the January 16 deadline. Maryland Gov. Theodore McKeldin reversed the commission last Friday. We feel sure we've done nothing wrong," said Sullivan, who also spoke for Gilzenberg.

"There's nothing in the charge we're afraid to answer. We'll be jlad to appear and give the public our side of the story." Helfand said he would continue to approve matches for St. Nick's, provided the managers involved have resigned from the guild, until a final decision is made.

looks as if bantam Ben Hogan may be the man to befit in Bing Crosby's National Pro-Amatem Tournament, despite his smiling insistence that he Is a strictty- for-fun golfer these days. The Texas master says there will be no more grim battling for sub-par scores, but his surprising practice rounds here casual as they appear, are causing spectators to wonder. His five-under-par yesterday and the even fancier 65 he shot the day have moved him right iip alongside Lloyd Mangrum, winner of the Los Angeles Open, and Dr. Carry Middlecoff a.s favorites. Middlecoff won the pro event here last year.

Ben was smiling happily he finished his round with Crosby at dusk yesterday. And Bing, not bothered in the least by his pedestrian 82 was actually whistling as Hogan ran down the final nine-foot putt. Spectators can't quite figure what goes with Hogan. They concede he isn't deliberately hiding in the weeds, for made little or no preparations for the competition starting today. And he certainly hasn't tried to pull punches.
