MUNCIE STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1953 35 Olson Expected to Defend New Title Against Gavilan After the Ball Four-Day Layoff for Bearcat Varsity By Bob Barnet THERE will be no practice until Monday for Bearcat football varsitymen, and the layoff may serve to sharpen Ettore Antonini's purpleclads for their big one against unbeaten Evansville Reitz at Evansville Saturday night, Oct. 31. The layoff is due to the annual teachers' gathering at Indianapolis and is in accordance with custom. Antonini and Dale Miller drove to Evansville Thursday to watch Reitz play hometown rival Mater Dei, returning the visit of Reitz pilot Hermie Byers to Bearcat Field Wednesaay evening. Byers probably went back to Evansville with the idea that his high-geared Panthers will have an easy time of it one week from Saturday, which is dead wrong, because the purple and white can play better football than it played Wednesday night.

Since the Reitz coach was in the stands Wednesday it is reasonable to assume that Reitz will pass consistently, as New Castle's Jack Razor completed eight for 108 yards against the purple and white. Central coaches probably will call for plenty of work on pass defense when the boys go back to their chores Monday afternoon. If that narrow escape against New Castle serves to make Reitz overconfident it may have been worthwhile, even though it unnerved many Bearcat followers. SEVERAL Muncie football fans passed on fourth down with only a two, rather than playing percentage I think the main reason is that play a bold game because he was Trojan coach couldn't afford the Ordinarily, a quarterbacks, would to make his passes stuff was within reach. But the New Castle battle plan and the Trojans seemed to be going rather than a first down or a gain The very fact that the defense and try for first down when the tends to make a pass more likely and there is a tendency to loaf on thinks the offense won't throw.

In the last period, of course, were behind and had to gamble, taking the bold course early and I olis Tech the same way. It takes a lot of nerve to give Adell Turner and Central's Gene the field, but Hay and Jack Razor After all, they were shooting have asked me why New Castle yard to go for first down a time or and going for the first down. Langan Hay figured he had to trying to put over an underdog. The luxury of orthodox football. go fore the first down, then try work, especially when first down apparently was based on surprise for a touchdown on every play, of a few yards.

The defense is tight pass defense because the defense the Trojans gambled because they but they showed no hesitation in understand they played Indianap- a team with runners like Tech's Flowers the ball in the middle of never batted an eye. for big stakes! MUNCIE FOLKS who saw the game were wondering Thursday how New managed to lose three of seven up to the Central test. The answer, of course, is that the Trojans played Richmond, MidIndianapolis Tech, a trio of real good ones. The dletown, Ohio, and Green had some injuries, too, with Razor and Meredith hurt simultaneously.

Coach Taylor Hayes is host to the Fight Is Set for February; Place Unknown New York (P) Bobo Olson probably will defend his new middleweight title against Champion Kid Gavilan in February at San Francisco or New York. While the baldish champ flew home to the wife and four kiddies in San Francisco Thursday, promoter Jim Norris started planning his future program. No Definite Date "We'd like to have Olson fight Gavilan if the Kid gets past Johnny Bratton at Chicago, Nov.

13," said Norris. "Even if he should lose his title to Bratton, he might be the opponent. "Flaherty (Sid Flaherty) Olson's manager, said he'd like very much to take on Gavilan. He wants us to promote it out in San Francisco. personally, would rather have it go to New York.

There is no definite date. Bobo won't be ready to go until the first of the year." Norris was pleased by the crowd of 18,869 that paid $167,651.06 to see the bout in person. As for Britain's Randy Turpin, who was dropped twice by Olson while losing a unanimous decision Wednesday night in 15-round match, Norris would like to have him back in February. "I asked his manager if he would be interested in coming back to fight Paddy Young or somebody like that in said Norris. "They seemed interested.

He's a useful fighter and made a good showing." Rules Out Rematch With Turpin Jack Solomons, the British promoter, outlined his future plans for Turpin who will leave for 1 home on the Queen Mary Nov. 4, after a visit to his training camp at Grossinger, N.Y. "He will fight no more this year," said Solomons. "I'd like to match Randy and Yolande Pompee in London next March. Pompee is fighting Ray Barnes of Detroit at Harringay Nov.

3.1 Then I would like to the Turpin-Pompee winner in with Olson June 1." Flaherty, however, ruled any rematch with Turpin before he boarded the plane for San Francisco, the adopted home of the Hawaiian-born Olson. Allen Advises Quintets to Shun Garden Indianapolis (P)-Dr. Forrest (Phog) Allen, veteran University of Kansas basketball coach, told the Indiana High School Athletic Association's golden anniversary meeting Thursday that college games in Madison Square Garden were fixed as early at 1935. The gravel-voiced Jayhawk coach, who has been around considerably longer than the IHSAA, said college teams ought to stay away from the big New York arena. He asserted the big double-headers at the Garden use "young men for furthering the financial ambitions of a few interested sponsors." for Allen his put campaign in a word of raise the promotion colelege basketball hoop from 10 to 12 feet.

He said 82 per cent of fouling comes on the layup shot. "Alcoholics and basketball rule makers," asserted, "are the only ones who want two shots for one." Merle J. Abbett of Ft.

By ED SATTERFIELD Selma's Bluebirds, who have kept company with the second-division crowd the past few years, are contemplating breaking the relationship this winter and moving into elite circles. With a new pilot in the coach's chair and some bigger boys, the Liberty Townshippers may very well make the transition before this season is history. Lack of height, a serious impediment to Selma progress during the tenure of likeable Bill Breck, will not prove to be a major hurdle for the new coach, Richard Hays, the ex-Hagerstown High School star. With five six-footers on hand and at least half a dozen other lads pushing the two-yard mark, the Bluebirds will be able to look over--not up to some of the opposition.

Warren C. Giles, president of the National League, predicted Thursday that "someday there will probably be a third major league" but he said that the best thing to do now is to expand the two existing loops.

He said expansion of the American and National Leagues "would conveniently accommodate four cities and, as I see be a long time before there are more than four cities with practicable geographic location, adequate facilities and a population with sufficient baseball enthusiasm to become major league cities." Addresses Milwaukee C. of C. Speaking at the annual dinner of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Giles said there probably would be a third major league eventually but "it will not be initially successful if it is merely of eight new cities, however big, calling themselves major league." "An unusual combination of circumstance made the transfer of Boston to Milwaukee feasible, and a combination of circumstance, although not quite so unusual, made the transfer of the St. Louis Browns to Baltimore he said. "Other cities covet major league baseball, but unless there are vision and courage to provide facilities of major league proportions and a burning desire by the people- -not only the press and city fathers- -to acquire it, there will be few changes in the near future.

Milwaukee has proved that the yardstick for major league status is not arithmetic. Population alone does not insure filled stands." Giles spoke at a dinner which paid tribute to Louis R. Perini and his two brothers, Charles and Joseph, the owners of the Braves, for bringing the club to Milwaukee last spring. The team was switched to Milwaukee after lack of attendance at Boston forced the Perinis to move the club and 1 the Braves set a new National League attendance record in the first year in the Wisconsin metropolis. In addition to the Perinis, Braves Field Manager Charley Grimm, General Manager John Quinn and other club officials were present at the banquet.
