Collins won the unanimous nod of the two judges and Referee Eddie Curley. Ringsiders credited Collins with eight consecutive rounds after the former lightweight champion from Monterrey, floored him twice in the opening three minutes. "He's a good fighter." Salas said afterward as his trainers worked on his puffed and bleeding face. "But Jimmy Carter's too sharp a puncher for him.

he'd beat him." Carter lost the world's lightweight title to Salas May 14 and won it back in a return bout five months later. "I'd like to fight Collins here again," said Salas, who weighed 131 to 128 for Collins. "I still feel shaky from my cold." ine fight was repeatedly postponed on account of Salas' cold. Collins was game for a rematch too. "I didn't get warmed up again after that first round until the fourth," he said.

"I'd be glad to fight him tomorrow." Letters Pos Ht. Wt. Ci. Won 5-8 170 So. 0 6m 155 Sr.

1 Aden! 1 a 'Realistic Rob' i Rose Bowl Set PASADENA, Calif. (UP) Pacif, ic Coast Conference moguls Tues day were-poised, to lift some of their" tightest curbs against recruit ing activities, delivering a smaslv mg blow to advocates of de-empha sis in collegiate football. Conference, faculty represented tives are expected to act favora bly on a committee report which gives the PCC a "realistic" ap. proach to recruiting. H.

P. (Dick) Everest, Univerj sity of Washington faculty reprej sentative and official spokesman for the PCC winter meeting heret admitted the action would mead present regulations. The report, he said, contained "30 or 40 definite" recommenda tions-, and he indicated they would be adopted either today or some time before the meeting adjourns Thursday. 1 1 Coaches Can See Players 1 An example of the recommendations involved concerns the cur rent ban against coaches visiting high school or junior college cam puses to watch prospects perform! That is due to go under the "res laxed" but "realistic" PCC ap-proach. In all, Monday's opening meet ing of the conference was a bac day for those who seek to de emphasize the collegiate grid game.

It started out with an an nouncement that the PCC's Rose Bowl Committee would starts work; here on whipping up a new con tract with the Big Ten for th Rose Bowl game when the cur rent one expires after the contests. Another setback to the de-em phasis plan was the disclosure that no fines would be levied a( the current meeting against mem bers' for' over-zealous efforts in enrolling athletes.

The Californians play Linfield at McMinnville Tuesday night. NEW YORK (UP) Despite frequent admonitions that you don't have to be a skyscraper to be a top flight basketball player, it appeared Tuesday that the five top college court stars this winter all would be handy lads to iiave around when washing the han-deliers.

I There is rather general agree ment that this quintet should be composed of Walt Dukes of Seton Hall, Don Schlundt Of Indiana, Bob Pettit of Louisiana State, John Kerr of Illinois and Bob Houbregs of Dukes is the tallest at six 11 inches. Schlundt and Pettit each are a mere six, nine: iKerr is six, eight, while Houbregs is the midget of the bunch at (only six feet, seven inches. These men all are. centers, where basketball height is 'concentrated. And their contemporary challengers are such as six foot, 10 inch Bob Mattick of Okla homa A and six-six Tom Gola of La Salle and Ed Kalafat of Minnesota, and Penn's Ernie Beck and Navy's Don Lange, both six feet, four.

These are the big guns, and it poses a rather intriguing problem for the fellows who are going to pick the All-America teams. All of them are centers, leading scorers for their outfits and devastating under the boards. Center Represents Power There have been worried growls by the football selectors over the necessity for picking offensive and defensive "All" teams. What happens now in basketball, where the power is concentrated at center, and only one berth is open of the five to be filled? Simple, Jack, you pick five centers and let guards and forwards fall where they may. The term "guard" or "forward" is misleading under the current system of firehouse basketball.

For instance, very little guarding actually is done without drawing fouls which quickly deposit the guarder on the bench for the rest of the evening. Proof that this dne-time basket ball art is a lost link comes from the coaches themselves. Here and there you will find a coach proclaiming that only his players can play defensive game; that no other coach teaches his players how to guard. The answer is that defense is ignored and all concentration is on offense. You win by outscoring the opposition, not holding him down.

Under this system, the star play er. is the guy who contributes the most points. That fellow usually is the center, picked for his height and shooting ability. Basketball Results East Duquesne 65 St. Francis (Pa.) 53 Arnold .111 Briant 70 American U.
