"And they've given up their leading scorer (Andy Bathgate) and still have to play Montreal four times and Chicago and Toronto twice each.

Alex Faulkner also may be ready to test his sprained ankle after being out a week. Eddie Joyal, out since Feb. 1 with a broken wrist, is due to return March 5.

ABEL'S last move to strengthen the Wings was to recall defenseman forward Irv Spencer, and Spencer made it pay off with a strong game against Boston plus a goal which started the Wings to their 3-2 victory over Montreal. When Faulkner and Joyal return, they will put the Wings two men over the limit, Abel said that he will keep everyone the rest of the season in view of the Wings' injury problem.

They built up a 5o-34 intermission lead. At one point Falk hit on four consecutive field goals and six out of eight shots. His 49-point total erased the previous high of 40 shared by former Wildcat star Joe Ruk-lick and Rick Lopossa of the present team. THE HAWKEYES moved within 14 points early in the second half, but Falk sank two baskets and two free throws and Northwestern got its 20-point margin back. The victory gave Northwestern a 6-5 record and sole possession of fourth place in the Big Ten standings.

The loss left Iowa in ninth place with two wins and eight losses.

Brown hit a pinch-hit homer in his first time at bat for the Tigers and Mullin admits, "I had chills all over not for me, but for Gates." It would be kind of nice, at that, if he made it.

THIS WILL be Liston's 37th bout.

Clay never has lost. Sonny dropped only one of his fights and that to Detroiter Marty Marshall, who broke Liston's jaw. They have met only one common foe in Willie Besmanoff, an imported German punching bag. Both Liston and Clay put him away in the seventh round. The lack of local interest in the scrap is bringing up many explanatory theories.

The prices of $250 tops scaled down to $20 for the peasants are advanced as one reason. Clay's hammish actions and his activities in the Black Muslim organization are given as other reasons. The challenger's lack of experience and some weak show ings in two of his more recent fights are additional ones, not to mention that Liston is the type of fighter who has been ending things before most of the customers are settled down. AS CHAMP, Sonny will pick up 40 per cent of all monies, both from the guaranteed live gate of $625,000 and the closed-circuit TV deal which could go as high as $4,000,000.
