EINGHAMTON PRESS S3 Feb. 9, 1955 Syracuse Scrambling Court Ratin Menry Armstrong Itccalls a Weigh-in By JOHX W. FOX Tucsilaif's Itou linq Action: 35-for-67 Cools Off Blngh.am.ton Press Sports Editor COLUMBIA coach Lou Rossini thinks his Chet Forte a more dangerous and more consistently damaging scorer than Chuck Rolles but feels that at the moment Rolles is the better dribbler, ball-handler and defender. "But," adds Lou quickly, "they can both play for me." We are indebted to Dick Schaap, editor of the Cornell Daily Sun, for this quote. Dick entrusted us with a copy of a piece he did on Chuck and "The Jet" with hopes of interesting Sport Magazine or Sports Illustrated In the exploits of the Ivy's two star half-pints in a day of Brobdingnagian basketball.

i 1 -A Barnes and Gavula Roll Best Triples Andy Gavula took down top money in the Inter-City Bowling League last night with a 688 triple on the strength of 232, 223 and 233 singles. John Martyak had high single with 246 and finished second to Gavula in the triple de- partment with 651. WITHOUT HAVING SEEN DARTMOUTH, Yale, Harvard, Brown or Princeton, we don't see how the All-Ivy team can exclude Rolles, Forte, Penn's Leach or Joe Sturgis. After last night, Princeton alumni may have a nomination or two. Builder's Finish Other 600s: Tom Pratt Orzel 615, Andy Out ncnn Pasturchak 611.

Niagara's Purple Eagles, who twice walloped the once-push-over Orange in early season games, steamed into Syracuse last night bent on another easy mark. They went home on the short end of an 87-83 count. Last Friday Holy Cross then ranked fourteenth nationally, invaded Syracuse and was upset, 74-70.

Cornell also took it on the chin at Princeton last night. The 71-47 trouncing all but wiped out Big Red hopes to retain the Ivy League championship. AT SYRACUSE, the Orange made 35 of 67 tries from the field in upsetting a Niagara five that had been listed upon the nation's top 20 until this week.

During timeout periods at Ithaca Saturday night, five of the Quakers on the bench would get up on their feet to make room for the perspiring regulars. Probably the least restrained is John Lavin, a muscular star football end to whom basket tne YIV1L-A industrial League.

The summaries: 98 pounds Ed Bronson (W) 917 944 829 And Loses by 21 Points HENRY ARMSTRONG, WHO BACK IN 1939 held the featherweight, lightweight and welterweight titles simultaneously, is the latest to expose a bundle of boxing's dirty laundry. Armstrong's story concerns the title he DIDN'T win the middleweight crown for which he battled Ceferino Garcia, Gavilan's predecessor in the bolo parade, in a 1940 Los Angeles bout. First he was offered $15,000 in bills to throw the fight. Then Garcia came in a few days before the fight with a big bandace on his leg and claims of a boil. The fight was postponed.

Auburn Community College yesterday served notice to Tech coach Dick Baldwin that its return game here was off so that leaves just home games with Roberts Wesleyan and Alfred Tech plus trips to Morrisville and Orange Community College. And it's the same Baldwin team which could only muster 46 in a crucial contest at Euffalo against Erie Tech three weeks ago.

The game brought back memories of four years ago when John Pavlik, now St. Cyril's coach but then a little-known Tech bench-warmer went wild as Haabestad hit for 16 points in the first half and helped build up the Tigers' tremendous 54-19 and MORE However, after last night's edge in rebounds.
