Now, they thought, the Buckeyes' three-year domination of conference titles would surely come to an end. But those fans didn't foresee the brilliance of a 6-foot 8-inch 1, iron I Vw -x' mi i mnJ (Picture on back page) BY MAURICE SHEVLIN Tonight you'll see if the big boys, those slugging heavyweights and light heavyweights, the middleweights, and the welterweights, have as much of what it takes as the lighter boxers displayed last night in the Stadium as the 36th annual Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions burst into being. Again the big national show will be in three rings and will start at 7 o'clock as the heavier titleholders from 30 out of town centers and Chicago try to make their marks in the nation's toughest amateur boxing competition. Chicago fans who taxed the seams of the St. Rita II i school and St.

Andrew's gymnasiums for the sectional tournaments and the City Finals in recent weeks, will have a chance to follow the four Chicago representatives for whom they rooted so wildly. Illini Beat Minnesota; Armand Desrodiero of Lowell, stops Pete Montaya of Hollywood, in second round of 118-pound division of Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions last night in I center from Jamestown, Gary Bradds. Bradds put on another out- standing performance last night as he led Ohio State to a 50 to i 45 victory over Northwestern before 5,500 in McGaw hall. The decision enabled to Buckeyes to keep pace with Illinois in their torrid battle for Big Ten honors. Both teams stand 9-2 with three games left.

25 Special I The University of Illinois basketball team broke out of a 33 to 33 halftime tie to subdue stubborn Minnesota, 81 to 70 before 11,226 in Williams arena here tonight. The victory gave the Illini a 9-2 record in conference play and kept them abreast of Ohio State for the Big Ten lead. The loss, 5th in 12 laague games for the Gophers, smashed their last faint hope of figuring in the title scramble. The victory, paced by Dave Downey's 24 points, was not achieved without its moments of doubt for the Illini, They trailed 26 to 17 midway in the first half, Terry Kune, Minnesota's brillhnt guard ami playmaker, went to the bench with his fourth foul at this point and the invaders rallied strongly for the halftime deadlock.

Smith made his announcement at the annual meeting of the Golden Gloves association in the St. Clair hotel.

Bill Woislaw, the Wildcats' bespectacled center who plays on guts and two bad legs, did a good job guarding Bradds, slapping the ball down the Buckeye star's throat on several occasions.

LOUIS Milwaukee, Feb. 25 (Special Marquette's fast break broke open a tight game with St. Louis midway thru the second half tonight and the Warriors raced to a 69 to 58 victory over the Billikens before 5.123. With the score tied, 47 to 47, with 9 minutes gone in the second half, Marquette used its fast break to score 16 points while holding the Billikens scoreless.

St. Louis had accepted a bid to the National Invitational tournament just before the game. Lineups: StTTouis-(581 6r Louis 58 two points came when umo State went into a stall, drawing the Wildcat defenders from under the basket. Bradds eluded the hobbling Woislaw and sank a lay-up, sending Ohio State into a 46 to 41 margin with 1:54 left. It was all over.

Both teams improved their shooting in the last period, bringing up the final percentages to 30.2 for the Buckeyes and 32.8 for the Wildcats. BUFFALO'S BOYS TOWN brought pair of identical twins, both champions, in its delegation, but only one of 'em will fight. The twins are George Walters, 126 pound open champion in the Buffalo tourney, and Jimmy Walters, who won the 126 pound novice title. Jimmy was brought on the trip as a reward for his scrappy showing at Buffalo. Zack Smith, 126 pound champ from Lowell, is a dead ringer for Sammy Davis, Jr.

Zack even wears the dark glasses. Zeke Sanchez, 135 pounder on Flem Hall's Fort Worth Star-Telegram team, starred in football despite his size. Odessa High school named Sanchez, a half back its most valuable player. He also is a track sprinter and a baseball shortstop. The Fort Worth heavyweight, a 240 pounder, is Claud Devenport; that's it, C-l-a-u-d D-e-v-e-n-p-o-r-t.

He was a three year letterman tackle on the Arlington State college football team, and aspires to coaching. Ed Darlington, 135 pounder fighting out of Rockford is a redhaired, smiling young man employed (as a typesetter in his native Morris, 111. His pappy, a boxer in the army, started Darlington in the amateur ranks. "Said it was the greatest sport in the world," comments young Darlington. Johnny Parker, a 126 pounder, representing Rockford he's from Dubuque, turned to fighting when he sadly conceded he was too light for football.

Rockford's 112 pound Jim Loring took up fighting after he moved in with his brother-in-law, Ralph Cervantes; a former pro. Wisconsin averaged 51 per cent from the field, and scored most of their field goals on easy lay-up shots. Wisconsin had no trouble breaking behind the Hoosier zone defense. Jack Brens, Wisconsin's junior center, set a new Badger single game record as he scored 35 points on 14 baskets and seven free throws. Jhe old mark of 34 was held by Don Rehfeldt in 1949 and Bob Lit-zow in 1958.

The Badger front line of Brens, Ken Siebel and Tom Gwyn accounted for 91 points, Siebel getting 29 and Gwyn 27. Nellie joked about the difference in stature of his new infield teammate and predecessor Luis Aparicio, but looked eagerly to the season ahead with the comment, "It won't make any difference to me." Yes, Aparicio was gone, and the WThite Sox were a facelifted group as they undertook their first day of spring training with only three absentees-Floyd Robinson, Juan Pizarro, and Dave DeBusschere. Robinson arrived from Chicago after the workout was over and huddled with General Manager In an intercompany deal, the White Sox yesterday announced the sale of Comiskey park to the Comiskey Park corporation, a new division of the Art-nell company, owners of the American league baseball club. Arthur Allyn, president of Artnell and the White Sox, said in Sarasota, that the transaction was a "matter of internal financing to free a substantial portion ofk cash for other expenditures-' The White Sox ill lease the Jones, a 20-year-old boxer from Louisville who boasts of being a "way-out lover," but proved to be quite a fighter, that proved to be one of the best of the evening. Parry Dixon, who like Rickey Nate and Petrecca was making his first appearance in Stadium competition, got thru his bout with Hollywood's Larry Clark, even tho the verdict was unpopular.

He then proved himself every bit a champion and joined Petrecca in tomorrow's quarterfinals with a well deserved decision over Hedgemon Lewis, Detroit's knockout specialist who had stopped Tommy Marshall of Nashville in 43 seconds of the first round. Opposition Formidable O'Shea, a plasterer, 21, had a tough row to hoe in reach ing the top last year and his opposition this time is just as formidable, if rot more so. The 147-pound class includes Muncie's Wade Smith, the lad O'Shea narrowly outpointed in last year's final bout. Smith, Continued on page 2, col. 1 Ohia State 501 Northwestern 145) B.
