TSL 14 The Hdghfr Virginia, Friday, ft ISM Wave Nips Alumni In Opener, 68-65 Olson. Favorite In Title Scrap Champion Makes Fourth Championship Defense Against Robinson, Who Has Beaten Him Twice i By JKKKY LISKA il CHICAGO W) Champion Carl Bobo) Olson, a 3-1 favorite, makes his fourth middleweight! title defense tonight against a man has whipped him twice, aging Burgar Ray Robinson, at the Chi cago Stadium. This scheduled 15-round battle bring together a 27-year-old Olson 'who was flattened last summer by Archie Moore trying an upward climb and a 35-year-old Robinson at the peak of a questionable comeback. NBC will telecast and broadcast 10 p.m., EST. The chief reason for this International Boxing Club-sponsored -bout is that Olson lost considerable his third-round KO by light heavy champion Moore last June 22 and that Robinson made a quick return from an erstwhile career.

Olson was knocked out as a 22- year-old rookie by Robinson in 1950 In 12 rounds at Philadelphia, and dropped a 15-round decision to him In a 1952 middleweight title bout at San Francisco. Olson, was regarded a terrific battler until he tried to match blows last summer Avith Moore. In the second of his six comeback fights, Robinson nearly was chased back into retirement by Ralph (Tiger) Jones at the Chicago Stadium last Jan. 19. But Sugar Ray, who abdicated the 160-pound crown Dec.

18, 1952, clawed back into contention with victories over Johnny Lombardo, Ted Olla, Garth Panter and Rocky Castellanl. TONY TRABERT, TOP NET AMATEUR, STARTS PRO CAREER TONIGHT NEW YORK W--Tony Trabert, Ko. 1 man among the amateurs this year, launches'his professional tennis career tonight at Madison Square Garden with the Dick (Pancho) Gonzales, king of the pros, furnishing the opposition in the first of some 100 matches to be played in a tour. Rex Hartwig, one of Australia's lesser light 1 also makes his debut against little Pancho Segura but it is the Trabert-Gonzales rivalry that promoter Jack Kramer is relying on to pull the fans through the turnstiles. Trabert, winner of the French, Wimbledon and U.S.

titles in 1955, reportedly deserted the amateur ranks for an $80.000 guarantee. Gonzales, 1948-49 U. S. amateur titleholder and best of the pros since Kramer gave up playing for promotion, is said to be collecting 525,000. Patterson May Be Next Heavy King LOS ANGELES WV-Young Floyd Patterson may be'next in itne at a shot at heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano but whether, he's ready for such a dangerous assign ment is debatable today.

Last night the 20-year-old lad from Brooklyn erased Jimmy Slade the No. 5 heavyweight contender from the via a technical knockout in the seventh of a scheduled 10 rounder at the Olymp ic Auditorium. Patterson ripped open Slade's right ayelid in the third and he chased the 29-year-old Nnew Yorker all over the ring for 'the better part of seven rounds. But Patterson couldn't quite catch Jimmy the spoiler. It was left to the referee, Dynamite Jackson, to do the job.

Jackson stepped in and stopped the affair after 2:05 of the seventh and explained later: "Slade just wouldn't fight. I kept 'telling him to get in there and look good even if he was losing but I guess he felt that he was too outclassed." Patterson won every round, showed a great deal of punching and boxing ability despite the constant retreating by Slade and was never seriously concerned with the outcome. The one time he caught up with Slade was in the fifth. He chased him into a neutral corner, nailed him with a solid right to the jaw and added another as Jimmy went down for nine. Bleeding badly from the gashed eye, Slade was absorbing more punches through the sixth and 9fV- enth and then Jackson stopped the match.

There was a flurry of action the Slade corner between the sixth and seventh. Manager Al Joyner cuffed Jimmy soundly with the back of his hand and'Slade drew back to hit Joyner when his other handlers forced him down to his chair. Later the manager said he was merely trying to arouse-Slade into action.

Virginia State Host Jo Jackets The Virginia "State Trojans, 0-3 for the season, will play host to the West Virginia State Jackets tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Daniel gym. The Jackets have won their only start i season. The Trojans have just returned from a short road on which they dropped games to Shaw University at Raleigh, 66-64, and to N. C. College at Durham, 66-55.

The Trojans hope to better last season's fi-16 mark, and have some promising freshmen in Percy Henry. Oliver. Gary Lee and Clyde Bonds to fit in with veterans Samuel Simmons and Johnny Johnson. Simmons hails from nearby Southside High in Dinwiddie County. Johnson was last season's leading score, and twice hit for 37 points in a game.

However, that is far from the CTAA record, which is held, by Clarence Burke, with 67. One of the key men for the visiting Yellow is Samuel Jorj a a sophomore and former Pea- boclv High star.

The reaction of Wave Coach Bo? Kilbourne to the night's actioi was: "We've got a long way to go." Effective shooting from the fielc by Guard Norman Jacobson, Guard Ronnie Robertson. Guard Walter Smith, and.Forward James O'Ber ry helped materially to give the Wave its three-point margin in close action which found the Old sters holding a one-point lead the end of the third O'Berry had to spend consider able time on the bench in the lat ter stages of the game because he had accumulated four persona fouls by that time and Robertson came out on fouls with five min utes of the game remaining. Best marksmen for the Alumn: squad, led by a Mallory, proved to be Tucker Ramsey, who was sharp from the field and. fou line; Clarence Dodson and the tal Bill Harris, while Nelson Ramsey dropped in seven out of eight tosses at foul line to swell the Oldsters' count. Alumni got the jump and with Harris, Dodson and Tucker Ramsey furnishing plenty of height at the backboards they moved into a 29-22 lead in the first period.

Jacobson and Robertson paced a second half drive of the high school team that netted them a one-point lead at intermission, 3938. Kilbourne sent his team into a full court press at times and this served'to slow up. the Alumni attack while giving the Wave forwards a chance to get the ball for close range firing. Alumni came back to outscore Petersburg in the third period and move.out in front and they were ahead, 55-52, at the outset" of the 'ourth period after Bill Walker drove in for a'layup.

The University of Virginia moved openly toward selection of a new head footbaH coach today while the unhappy incumbent coach still wa on the payroll. The university's athletic advlsor council revealed last night it ivjl Legin screening 1 candidates at a meeting Sunday for the job nek since 1953 by Ned than that, the council said it al ready had interviewed "a number of prospects." McDonald's resignation has been confidently anticipated ever since Virginia closed out its most dis astrous football season in Tiiston Nov. 26 with only one victory in 30 games. His three-year contrac expires March 1.. The news from the athletic council last nieht marie it all but certain the tall, Texas won't be around to guide the Cavaliers in 1956.

Mortimer Caplin, chairman the athletic council and a member of the university's a faculty, said he was "not --in position to discuss anyone who has been mentioned" for the coaching position. Other sources here, however, indicated the possibilities include Dan Jessee. head coach al Trinity (Conn.) College for the last 24 years; Harrison Nesbit. freshman coach on McDonald's presenl staff: and Carl Wise, ex-head coach at Washington and Lee and now an assistant at Clemson. "We have an open mind on this business and.

contrary to some published reports, no one has the inside track for the job," Caplin said last night. Caplin's reference to "published reports" was aimed at an item in Thursday's Hartford Time's which said Jessee, whose Trinity team has won its last In games in succession, had the "inside track" on McDonald's coach- ng post. The Times also said Jessee had been promised "life and, eventually, the uni- ersity athletic directorship--now leld by G. K. Tebell--if he would to Charlottesville.

No final decision on a new coach expected to come out of Sunday's athletic council meeting. Unless other meetings are called, the council will not meet again after Sunday until January. McDonald, the present coach. succeeded Art Guepe in the head coaching position in 1953 when Guepe quit Virginia to become coach at VanderbiK. McDonald in- lerited poor material and his 1953 earn posted a 1-S record.

His 1954 club won three of nine games. This year Virginia was expected to be better but defeated only VM1, hough the Cavaliers put up stiff esistanee to some obviously supe- teams. Sources at the university have ndlcated McDonald plans to turn his resignation when President Colgate Darden returns here frqm ew York, where he is a U. S. Representative in the Un i Nations.

In any event the athletic council sn't waiting for him. Caplin said ast night the council already "has nterviewed a number of prospect 1 or the head roach position and expects to consider candidates for he job Sunday." The "interviewing" of prospects resumably has been done on an ndfvidual basis by members of he council since the group, with epresentatives from the university acuity, administration, students and alumni, has not held any full- Iress sessions since the end of the ootball season.

JO Top-Notck Wrestlers Line Up For 4 Matches Promoter Bill Lewis presents one of his biggest programs of the professional wrestling a tonight at the State Fair Grounds, both in terms of number and of prestige.

Ten ranking wrestlers will participate in four matches --headlined by a tag match--the first of which starts at 8:30 o'clock. Lewis said he considers himself fortunate that he is able to line up talent as will appear tonight on the same program. "It was just a lucky break for me," the roly-poly promoter declared. "The very fact there is a tag match, which uses four wrestlers, plus a girls' match, should indicate to the fans that this is a big card, probably the biggest of the season." Lewis also said that the logjam wasn't deliberate. George Becker and Jack Wilzig, the Southern tag team champions, tackle a couple of their predecessors, Al and John Smith, in the featured tag match, two out of three falls, one hour.

MISS CATHY BRANCH Outlook Dim In Piedmont Frank Lawrence, owner of the Portsmouth Merrimacs, of the Piedmont League, has announced that he will -not field a team this season unless he receives financial aid from the major leagues, and has recommended that the majors contribute $20,000 to each indepn dnt class club.

President Ben Campbell has expressed "extreme pessimism" over the outlook for '1956, and the announcement by Lawrence, one of the real veterans of the game, has made that outlook even grav- r. Lawrence also suggested that the majors, in a move to help save the minor leagues, 'donate $15,000 to each independent class club, and 510,000 to the class outfits. Told of Lawrence's announcement, Piedmont President Ben L. Campbell a i in Petersburg, 'This makes the situation even more serious You might describe my attitude as one of extreme pessimism that we will be able to operate next Portsmouth is one of six clubs vhich haven't announced definite- that they won't operate next 'ear. The major leagues heard a proposal at their annual winter meet- ng that the minors be cut in on of Game of the Day broadcasts and telecasts in 1957 but ook no action.

"Jf they can help us in 1957 vhy not next season?" Lawrence The Portsmouth operator 'predicted that 10 other-minor leagues- vill fold before unless financial aid comes from the ma- ors. He called the Piedmont's out- ook "extremely dark." and said he didn't believe it would operate next summer. The newest crisis in a' long series that, have beset the league arrived Tuesday when the Kansas City Athletics withdrew- their support of the Lancaster franchise.

Big John Moore was the key- man in enabling the Leemen to get away to the fast start. The 6-5 forward from UCLA connected for five field goals before the visitors scored from the field. Moore's five field goals, coupled with three points apiece by Dick Murphy and Jim Gallemofe, had the Travs away winging into a 16-2 lead that stood up throughout. Moore, the evening's individual point producer with 24 markers, recorded 21 of that total in the first half as the Green and White breezed to a 46-22 intermission lead.

Jan. 2, were chosen "automatically" when they won conference championships. Another, a- second place team, was designated when the title-winner was a team ineligible to return a second time. These conference-bowl tie-ups have been a controversial subject in football ever since the Big Ten and! Pacific Coast Conferences signed their first Rose Bowl agreement. They're no less controversial this year, 'the annual Associated Press post-season survey Indicated.

The 149 sports writers and participating in the survey expressed some decided opinions but very little agreement on the subject. The count of ballots showed a 67-56 margin in opposition to the tie-ups and 22 noncommittal replies. But about the only point on which al! Jiands seemed to agree was that, the games themselves would be better and more interesting if the champions were allowed to go to a bowl every year. The Big 10 and PCC have a rule that the same school can't play in the post season game two straight years. The Big Seven has a similar regulation in connection with the Orange Bowl, in which it opposes the Atlantic Coast Con- rence.

The Southwest Conference has a tie-up to send its champion to the Cotton Bowl without such restrictions. As a result, Michigan State instead of champion Ohio State will play in the Rose Bowl next January and last winter Nebraska, a weak second in the Big Seven, was slaughtered by Duke" in the Orange Bowl. A substantial number of those who voted against the tie-up? based their objections on these "no repeat" rules a a good many who favored them also entered the same objection. The principal arguments in favor of the tie-ups were that they eliminate "shopping around," competitive bidding for the top teams and a wild scramble at the end of the season. Opponents of the argued just as vehemently that the bowls should be open to everyone and only the top teams should compete.

Tie-ups, they say. don't give the strong "'independent' teams a chance to play in the biggest bowl games and often send second-rate conference representatives in their place. At least a dozen of the experts strongly advanced the "best team only" argument and an equal ber maintained of pressure, both on colleges and sponsors, outweighed any disadvantages the tie-ups may have. About one fourth of those casting ballots proposed elimination of the "no repeat" restrictions.

Night lighting equipment for this field will be transferred from Camp Pickett. Plans for the stadium, which will be located on the present site of Nowak Field, currently are being drawn up by the Office of the District Engineers at Norfolk. It will feature a gridiron bounded by an Olympic-type 440-yard track "with a 220-yard straightaway. Concrete stands will be set up on both sides of the field between the 20-yard lines. Additional are lights are expected to be installed, as well as dressing rooms and shower facilities for the players.
