For testing purposes, both black-and- white and color TV will be used- a limited number of, regional "blackouts" will be held; and maximum use wil be made of theater television, phonovision, skiatron, and post game films. The committee emphasized that the plan will not apply to any postseason games, the army-navy game, or to any games played after the test period ends on November 24. iBi.

"We're aiming for a bout with the winner of the Johnny Bratton- Kid Gavilan bout in Chicago sometime this summer," his manager, Blinky Palermo, announced after Williams had punched out an unanimous Fritzie Prudcn in the Chicago stadium last night. "I don't think Williams is as good at the heavier weight as he is a lightweight," Palmero said, "but he's good enough to beat anybody in the welterweights now." Williams had plenty of stuff at pounds, which was also Pru- dcn's weight, last night. He left his Canadian born opponent flatfooted in the first five rounds with a speedy jabbing attack and fancy ducking and weaving, even though he failed to score a knockout, his announced intention.
