FOURTEEN' THE MORNING CALL, MONDAY, JANUARY 8, 1 940 7 Field Sports Collegiate Cage Teams Settle Down to Decide Sectional Titles Allentown Tricos Chalk Up 35:29 Decision Over Hamburg's Hornets Lightweights Hold Spotlight On Amateur Card Here Tonight Loyola of Los Angeles. In a double-header last Saturday undefeated U.S.C. dumped St. Mary's and Loyola upset U.C.L.A. in a 44-foul game.

In the Northern division, Oregon State, the early favorite, trounced the oft-beaten Idaho five twice to take the league lead. Washington state, rated with Oregon and Oregon State as the top three, stumbled, losing its opener to Washington 39-28 but coming back to win Saturday night 51-35 for the fourth victory in 20 years on a Seattle floor. Idaho plays Oregon Monday and Tuesday in the first conference test for the latter, N.C.A.A. champions. Locals Move Out of Last Place Tie Into Seventh Place in Tri-County Loop The Allentown Barons won their fourth consecutive home game by defeating the Hamburg Hornets by a score of 35-29 before a capacity crowd at Mealey's yesterday taking over seventh place in the Tri-County League.

The game got away to a slow start as Pelkington started to score within the first minute of play to put the local quintet ahead. But the Hornets came back and tied the score as "Beano" Resnick sank one from the side of the court. The score remained at this point until seven minutes had passed. Pouls by Pelkington and Walt Harris kept the score tied at 3-3. When Kenny Wentworth fouled Hughie Johnson on a try for a field goal, the local boy put one charity throw in to put Allentown ahead 4-3.

Wentworth retaliated with a screamer to put the visitors out in front, 5-4. With Just a little more than two minutes left to play, Johnson dropped one from the side to put the Barons Tomasic of Emmaus will meet Joey Green of Pottsville. It will be Tom-asic's first bout in some time. He is entered in the Middle Atlantic championships and he is out to win tonight's contest with a punch. The welterweight class has some popular local favorites included, among them Al Maitz of Limeport and Stanley "Choo Choo" Derr of Allentown.

Both are Middle Atlantic entries. Then-opponents this evening will be a brace of hard-hitting Reading boxers, Joe Straffeski and Joe Swatkowski. In the junior welterweight class, Steve Yuhaas, the Minersville kayo king, clashes with a worthy opponent in Ralph Johnson of Philadelphia. Middleweight entries include Tom Swaveley of Emmaus and Charles "Checkers" Rinker of Catasauqua, who will fight it out to determine which one will contest for the Lehigh Valley championship in this division later in the month, and Willie Mack, Philadelphia, and Charles Sanca, Pottsville, who will engage in an open contest." Two classy featherweight bouts are sure to result when Mike Ferraro and John D'Laurentis of Philadelphia will be pitted against Clarence Hess, Reading, and Len Burns, Bethlehem, respectively. All four of the boys have a high rating in their class.

Tickets will remain on sale all day today at the Witwer Jones store, Colonial barber shop, Hotel Allen grill and Buckey Boyle's. The doors will open at 7 o'clock tonight and the first bout will go on at 8.30 sharp.

Tonight's contests will feature several outstanding bouts in the lightweight class. In one of these, Joey Wagner of Philadelphia, recent winner of the Daily News Golden Glove tournament, meets Billy Davis, the Minersville favorite who has served notice that he is out to capture the national championship this year. It explains why the eyes of the sports lovers will be on tlus bout. In another bout, a junior lightweight contest, Sammy Washington, the most colorful little fellow Bethlehem has ever turned out in the ring sport, will clash with Paul Jackson of Reading. Jackson has boxed National Champion Billy Speary several times.

The winner of this bout will meet Speary in Mealey's one week from tonight.

1. 15 I. after Pennsylvania, off to a sizzling one point victory over tumcu uic league's only game Saturday. All the others save Princeton get into action this week with Harvard-Columbia, Penn-Yale, Harvard-Dartmouth and Columbia-Yale offering the fireworks. Cornell plays Colgate in a non-conference tussle.

New York winner last night over Manhattan 31-27 in the Garden rests this week, but its hated city rival, Long Island steps back into the spotlight with that New Mexico Aggie battle. And on a full eastern card, these games also look good: Bradley-George Washington, Georgetown-Penn State, Catholic-Duquesne, Pitt-Cornell, Lafayette-Army, Penn State-Carnegie and Navy-Penn. Midwest: Ohio State opened its quest for another Big Ten title by being victimized by an alert Michigan team, 40-35, which may give an indication of what's in store for midwest-era fans this season. Indiana had a struggle, as expected, before downing Illinois, 38-36, and Purdue came through in fine fashion with a 40-29 victory over the hitherto undefeated Northwestern Wildcats. Minnesota and Wisconsin also started off right, nipping Iowa and Chicago.

A full schedule of games Monday night, headed by the Indiana-Iowa tussle, will help clear the picture. Butler, always a midwestern power, took it on the chin from Illinois and Long Island and then bounced back nicely to top La Salle. De Paul and Loyola, a couple of other midway hot-shots have the Kansans on their hands Monday in the Chicago twin bill. Notre Dame's narrow victory over weak Syracuse wasn't very encouraging to the Irish adherents. South: Georgia is still the southeastern kingpin, knocking over everything in sight for four victories last weekxtending its winning streak to six in a row.

Kentucky went out of the conference to play Kansas State and Xavier and its record of five out of six is nothing to hide under a basket. There are no major changes, but things pep up this week with 12 conference and three intersectional battles. In the Southern conference, Duke, North Carolina. Wake Forest and Maryland opened their current campaigns successfully. Duke and Carolina both beat Davidson, Wake Forest stopped strong Washington and Lee and Maryland whipped Clemson, weakened by the loss of Banks Mc-Fadden, the footballer.

The principal feature was Duke's field house-dedication win over Princeton by 36-27 before 7,500 spectators, a new southern cage attendance record. The Duke-Maryland, Tulane-Ala-bama, LS.U.-Mississippl, Tennessee-Alabama, and Georgia-Florida tests head the Mason Dixon program. Missouri Valley: Drake and Washburn opened their league campaigns with double victories at St. Louis where Drake beat Washington 27-22 and St. Louis 47-29 while Washburn was trimming Washington 47-37 and St.

Louis 32-27. Drake and Oklahoma Aggies, co-champions, play the loop's headline game Saturday at Des Moines. Southwest: While the southwest's prize package of dynamite the N. M. Aggies shuffle east, they may not be missed out home, for the Oklahoma Aggie game is on tap this week.

That'll cause as much excitement as Kansas' walloping of Oklahoma, by 46-26, did last week. That and Nebraska's upset win over California may be forgotten, however, when Bice plays Texas Christian and Baylor and Texas Aggies clash. Rocky Mountains: In Logan, Utah State plays California and Utah U. meets St. Mary's Monday night and then they trade opponents Tuesday at Salt Lake City in the dedication ceremonies for two new field-houses.

Friday's conference schedule pits Wyoming against Colorado State, Colorado against Utah State, and Utah against Denver now sharing the league lead with Colorado's Buffaloes. Each has won one.

P-Burg Catholic Drops Opener Bethlehem Quintet Chalks Up 29-11 Victory in Catholic League Contest Bethlehem Catholic High school opened its Eastern Pennsylvania Catholic league campaign with a 29-11 victory over Phillipsburg Parochial yesterday at Bethlehem.

Playing a brilliant brand of ball, the Steel City lads proved complete master of the Jersey scholastics. At half time, Bethlehem held a 16-6 lead and proved equally as effective in the second half. Seidenberger proved to be the sparkplug in the Bethlehem lineup, scoring 11 points, as many as the P-Burg total. In the preliminary game, the Bethlehem Jay Vees put on a last period spurt to nose out the Phillipsburg Junior Varsity 24-18. At halftime the Pennsylvanians held a 12-11 lead.

Eastern Collegiate League Basketball Race May Be Thriller By the Associated Press If the Penn-Cornell game which opened the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball league last night is any indication of what's to come, there ought to be a campaign hair-raising enough to suit a barber. Penn won a 27-26 thriller at Philadelphia when Hen Solielac caged a one-hand shot and a free throw in the last minute of play.

Princeton, in the other important Saturday night game, absorbed a 36-27 beating at Durham, N. where Duke dedicated its spacious new fleldhouse. A crowd of 7,500, said by Duke officials to be the largest ever to see a southern basketball game, watched the Blue Devils cut the invaders down. Cornell plays Colgate Tuesday in a non-conference game that features the fore part of next week's schedule. Yale meets Wesleyan Monday.

On Wednesday Columbia and Harvard, neither of which is expected to be a league power, clash in one game and Penn and Yale, both unpredictable, meet in the other. On Saturday, Harvard takes on its second foe of the week when it meets the defending champion, Dartmouth. Apparently again ready to ride roughshod through the league, the Indians had a fairly successful pre-season record, although bowing to Stanford, Rochester and California, three good ball clubs. The other Ivy Saturday game pits Columbia and Yale, a team that is expected to show increased strength over last season's none-too-successful showing. The Elis have victories over Fordham and Trinity to date.

But the East has some other titanic tussles listed for the week. The colorful New Mexico Aggies play tough Temple in Philadelphia on Wednesday, Long Island in Madison Square Garden Friday, ami LaSalle at Baltimore Saturday. City College and St. Josephs meet in the other end of the Philadelphia bill, while Temple and St. John's are the second half of the New York attraction.

Havana and Baltimore will wind up the Maryland double header. Elsewhere in the East these games appear most attractive: Bradley-George Washington, Manhattan-Brooklyn, Fordham-Rutgers, Georgetown-Penn State, Duke-Navy, Catho-lic-Dusquesne and BrownM.I.T. Ralph Kercheval Gives Up Football for Horses LEXINGTON, Jan. 7. MP) Ralph Kercheval, kicking star of the Brooklyn Dodgers professional team, is giving up football for his first love, horsemanship.

The one-time University of Kentucky halfback said he had accepted an offer to help Charles Kinney in the management of Coldstream Stud, one of the largest breeding farms in the Bluegrass. Kercheval, whose booming punts and long field goals have been valuable assets to the Dodgers for the last half dozen seasons, has been dividing his time between professional football and the horse breeding industry since his graduation from the university in 1934. At the end of each football season, he returned to the Bluegrass and worked at a horse farm until time for him to report for practice. Harrisburg Tricos Win Over Lancaster LANCASTER. Jan.

Here and There If you went crow shooting how many shells would you expect to fire in order to bring down one bird? Each of you, depending upon skill, might have a different answer. Records are records but to John D. Fol-welL 614.

N. St. Elmo this city, we offer all sympathy. At last we have found another shooter in our class. On Saturday last, Mr.

Folwell blew a box of shells into the air before he brought down the first crow. Guesj the both of us will have to get together in secret and practice a bit. How about it 'Johnny'? yesterday in the rabbit drives on the Maiden creek watershed basin, the sportsmen of Berks county took another batch of native cottontails from the main refuge. The number, including those previously taken in box traps during the morning, was estimated to be in the neighborhood of 300. All rabbits from the pine trees in the watershed are portioned out among the various clubs of Berks county for local stocking Lewis F.

Pfeiffer, 735 N. Lumber Allentown, has taken three mink from the Clinton S. Schneck farm, Weisenberg township, Lehigh county. Mr. Pfeiffer, having received permission for trapping from Mr.

Schneck, has also taken several skunks and muskrats Game. Protector Moyer, in a preliminary check of sportsmen's trapping operations on excess rabbits, stated that about 140 bunnies were removed from areas where damage was being done. This only includes tabulations for the month of December. It is expected that this year's quota will exceed that of 1938-39 when over 800 native rabbits were redistributed. The greatest success is still found in the Trexler-town area Game reports should have another item for hunters to score.

Albert Laubach, 2009 Washington this city, thinks they should include the number of trees shot during the big game season. Mr. Laubach more fortunate than many gunners, saw three legal bucks in the past season. Each time, according to Mr. Lau-bach's own version, a tree jumped in the path of the bullet to save the deer.

To prove it he has the evidence into which the bullet went. Yes sir, he chopped the tree down and brought it along home The regular meeting of the Pennsylvania State Fish and Game Protective association will be held on Wednesday, January 10, at the Academy of Natural Sciences, 19th and Race Philadelphia, at 8.15 sharp. Election of officers, executive committee and a trustee are to be made. Bettina May Get Return Bout Mike Jacobs Anxious to Match Him with Freddie Apostoli Again Bv JACK CUDDY NEW YORK, Jan. 7.

(UP) Fred Apostoli and Melio Bettina probably will be signed tomorrow for a return light heavyweight brawl at Madison Square Garden in February, Promoter. Mike Jacobs said tonight. Jacobs is confident that this return match will pack the Garden because (1) their first tilt Friday night proved such an electrifying battle, and (2) because of the controversy over Apos-toli's right to the 12-round decision. Apostoli, former middleweight champion from San Francisco, received the split decision, but many of the far and boxing writers thought Bettina of Beacon, N. former light heavy king, had won the fight.

Larry White, Apostolus manager, said today, "Sure, we'll give Bettina a return bout if we can agree on terms and if Bettina will fight 15 rounds instead of 12. After the fight Friday night, I announced that Apostoli wouldn't meet anybody but Champion Billy Conn. At that time I didn't know there was so much argument about the decision. 'Freddie and I know he licked Bet tina without any question. Freddie would have knocked him out if he hadn't hung onto Freddie during the last four rounds.

This was Apostoli's first start as a light heavy, so he was a little sluggish and cautious in the opening rounds. But he won't be that way next time, with this fight under his belt. We'U give Bettina the full 15-round distance if he thinks he can beat Apostoli. There shouldn't be any argument after that. Besides, with Conn moving into the heavyweight division, we may never get a shot at him." Apostoli received 25 per cent of the net gate Friday night, and Bettina 22 14, but White emphasized that Fred die's percentage must be larger in the return bout.

Scranton at St. Bonaventure, Nazareth High Has Two Big Games This Week Coach Andy Leh, of Nazareth High school, was greatly pleased with the showing of his team after their victory over the team of East Stroudsburg High school on Friday night. The Byrnes John and Henry are again clicking in their old form, but Leh's pleasure came from the showing of the boys who have moved up from the junior varsity and especially in the work of Wunderly. Reimer and Dech, both members of the Jayvees, of last season have shown the greatest improvement, and are being counted on to make some of the starters step to retain their positions. Nazareth will take on Hellertown Tuesday night at Hellertown in a non-league game.

A win or loss in this game will not affect either of the teams, although they are both members of the Lehigh-Northampton County League, since Nazareth is in the Eastern half and Hellertown in the Western half of the league. On Friday night, however, Nazareth will take on Pen Argyl High school in a league game at Pen Argyl. The Slate region team seems to have something this year and Coach Leh will drill his charges hard during the coming week. A lot of time will be spent on foul shooting, which in the East Stroudsburg game was poor. Wins Bobsled Title LAKE PLACID.

N. Jan. 7. VP) Husky Francis Tyler, veteran Olym pic driver, today piloted his four-man bobsled team through ten below zero weather down treacherous Mt. van Hoevenberg's fast slopes to capture for the second successive year the Lithgow Osborne Trophy.

Times for the four heats of the race were slow, no surprise in view of the bitter cold. Tyler's winning time was 4:41.10. far behind the 4:36.47 rec ord he established in winning the 1939 event. Tyler's crew, composed of Stanley Pekley, Bill D'Amico and Bob Martin, all of Lake Placid, finished nearly three full seconds ahead of the run- nerup team piloted by Bill Linney of Lyon mountain, brother of Bob Linney, who established several course marks last year. The sled driven by Curtis Stevens, another Lake Placid veteran, finished last in the tnree-team neid.

Stevens' crew was composed of Nick Valenze, Lake Placid, and Donald Dupree and Jim Bickford, both of Saranac Lake. Riding with. Linney were Jonn Kerr, William Stacavitch and Angus Claim, ail oi Lyon mountain. Lehigh Athletes Face Big Week Basketball, Fencing, Wrestling and Swimming on Week's Program Lehigh University's winter athletic teams are scheduled for one of their busiest weeks as six different units face formidable opponents during the next live days. The Brown ana wnice athletes will meet strong aggregations in four sports at Taylor Gymnasium this week before a two-weeks recess from athletic competition will be de clared because of the final semester examinations.

This week marks the opening of the season for varsity swimming and wrestling teams as well as the start of the freshman basketball campaign. Varsity basketball, fencing, and hockey teams will continue in their conquest of victories over veteran combinations. Coach Billy Sheridan's 1940 edition of wrestlers will get under way on Saturday evening when the Lehigh matmen oppose an experienced Kansas State combination which won the Big Six Conference championship last spring. The Lehigh mentor who is now in his 29th year of coaching the Brown and White grapplers will have a repre sentative team of competitors who have never seen varsity action before. Captained by Jack O'Meara, the Le high swimmers will have the most difficult task in store for them as they splash against two of the leading teams of the East in four days.

The season will open for Coach Pete Mor-rissey's natators on Wednesday afternoon when the Quakers of the University of Pennsylvania swim against the Engineers in the pool of Taylor Gym nasium. On Saturday, the Brown and White natators will travel to Annapolis, to oppose the Middies of the United States Naval Academy for the first time since 1926. Seeking their third victory of the season, the Brown and White cagers will oppose the Wildcats of Villanova at 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening in Taylor Gymnasium in the only contest scheduled for tha week. The freshman basketball team will make its debut at 4 o'clock on Saturday afternoon when the Brown and White yearlings entertain the Hun School quintet in Taylor Gymnasium. Rounding out the full week of ath letic activity r.ill be the ice hockey game on Tuesday evening witn the Hershey Junior Cubs in the Hershey Sports Arena.

(tfV-Pretty Virginia Pearson Lindsay, dancer wife of Jim Lindsay, remained at the bedside of her stricken husband today in Mercy hospital. Lindsay, who underwent an operation for removal of a blood clot caused by a blow by Light Heavyweight Champion Billy Conn, was reported improving. A hard blow to the head caused the injury to Conn's sparring partner.

Mrs. Lindsay rushed "here yesterday from New York, where she was ap- peanng a caoarew out in front 6-5. Tne ball was passed around for a while, then with 50 seconds of the quarter remaining, Pelkineton let loose a one hand shove shot which dropped through without touching the nm. Harris came nacK in a hurry to sink one and there was still time left for Pelkington to sink a charity throw. The quarter ended with Allentown out on the long end, 9-7.

The next canto was much the same as the first, with irit one team scoring a field goal then the other. Both teams scored eight points apiece, and had their share of shoving and spills. At the half the score was still in Al-lentown's favor, by a two-point lead, 17-15. In the third chapter the locals vent out on the floor with fear for the two-point advantage. A passing attack worked as smooth was scarcely seen hereabouts.

When the whistle for the end of the third quarter came, the locals had garnered 12 points compared to three for the Hornets. The score, Allentown 29; Hamburg 18. The last canto appeared to be a battle afield as two Bumblebees went out of the game via the personal foul route. The Hornets tried a desperate last stand. They outscored the local five, 11-6, but this was not enough to break down the lead that had been gathered up in the first three chap ters.

The score at tne unai wnisiie was 35-29 giving the locals their fourth win. In the preliminary game, the local Chewies defeated the heretofor unde feated Towles A. of Bethlehem, last year's five started out fast and took a 17-6 first quarter lead. This was built up to 37-15 at halftime. The third chapter ended with the count 52-19 and the final whistle blew on 66-41.

This gave the Chewies their 23rd consecutive win. Pasko and Sweigard took the scoring honors as they compiled 17 points each. Pasko sank 7 field goals and three charity tosses for 17, and the Bethlehem boy sank four floor tosses with 9 free throws. The lineups: Allentown I Hamburg G. F.

Little Palestra here tonight in meeting the Leopards of Lafayette. In a preliminary game tonight, starting at seven o'clock. Coach Phil Hillen's Muhlenberg College Freshmen make their debut for the season, opposing the Lafayette College Freshmen.

The Muhlenberg team to start against Lafayette tonight will be the same which polished off Wittenberg and Washington College in games before the holiday vacation started, the only two contests played by the Cardinal and Gray team thus far this season. This arrangement will see Busby and Trinkle up front at the forward positions: Pete Schneider at center; with Neal Diamond and Jack Minogue at the guards. "That's the way we'll start against Lafayette." said Coach Julian last night, "but we have no regular starting team. We have a lot of good reserves, and they'U probably all see action. Ralph Schappell, Joe Podany, Kurowski and Andy and Clark Diefen-derfer will be certain to get in there, and any one of them matches up with the five starting: players." That Lafayette is going to be plenty tough for the Mules tonight was evidenced Saturday night whan the Leopards Dolished off Moravian's Grey hounds by a score of 37 to 29 at Easton.

Tonight's game will be one of three games slated this week for the Mules. On Wednesday night they go to Col-legeville to rjlav Ursinus in their opening Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate League game, and next Saturday face Hartwick College in the Little Palestra.

Coach Howell Scobey's Muhlenberg wrestlers will make their first appearance of the season in the Little Palestra on Wednesday night. opposing the Owls of Temple university in a dual meet nere to start on the wrestling schedule.

Coach Scobey has a strong nucleus from last season. Muhlenberg's first in intercollegiate wrestling competition, and has high hopes of seeing his proteges give the Owls a merry battle for honors Wednesday night. Intercollegiate wrestling made a big hit with Allentown sports followers last year, and it is expected that a large crowd will turn out for the opener with Temple Wednesday night.

Heaf ner Is Out in Front North Carolina Golfer Retains His Lead in Los Angeles Open Golf By ROBERT MYERS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 7. UP) Handicapped by stormy showers, husky Clayton Heafner of Lmviiie, N. continued to set the pace in the annual Los Angeles Open today, shooting a 73 for a 54 hole score of 212. Heainer played nis round in drizzles and occasional downpours, but the later arrivals, including E.

J. (Dutch) Harrison, Amateur Wilford Wehrle, Jimmy Hines and a few others, waded through the last six noles in an inci pient cloudburst. Any chance Harrison nad or catcn- ing Heafner was washed away by the ram. He took 76 strokes to get around the par 70 course of the Los Angeles Country club. Heafner started the round with a one stroke lead over Harrison and Ben Hogan of White Plains, N.

Y. At the finish he held a two stroke lead over Amateur Johnny Dawson, who forged forward with a 71, and a three stroke lead over Hogan, Al Krueger of Beloit, and Mary Fry of Oakland, Calif. Wehrle, first day leader, blew himself to an 83 for 224, while Olin Dutra of Los Angeles, and Harrison stayed in the running at 216. Tournament officials hoped to continue with the final round tomorrow if the storm subsides. No player broke par and scores mistly soared skyward.

Predictions that the winning total would be under 280 seemed remote. Heafner would have broken par but he bogied the 16th and 17th. He overshot the green on the 18th. His chipback rolled in and out of the cup. Sixty-six players who had scores of 229 or better qualified for the fourth round.
