It's Power vs. Finesse In Middleweight Tiff CHICAGO (UP)—Welter king Sugar Ray Robinson, a symphony of power and skill in the ring, tonight shoots for the middleweight crown of Jake LaMotta, a barbaric rough-houser by comparison. It's a finely-tuned machine colliding with a fireplug—a contrast of fighting styles that promises to be one of the best scraps of the post-war era. Week-Long Irish Rally Works as St. Louis Falls NEW YORK (UP)—Notre Dame students staged a week-long "Beat St. Louis" rally—and the South Bend cagers didn't let them down last night. Playing its finest game of a dull season, Notre Dame upset St. Louis, rated No. 5 nationally, 77-70. Previously, the Iirish had flubbed the big games and they almost didn't make it this time. Notre Dame roared to a 46-20 halftime bulge. But St. Louis, proving why it has defeated teams like Kentucky and Bradley, turned on the steam for a 50-point second half. It wasn't enough. It was ND's 11th victory against seven losses and avenged an earlier loss to St. Louis. Dan Bagley, with 31 points, tied Notre Dame's all-time single-game scoring record set by Vince Boryla. Robinson, who decision body-sledging Jake four out of five times when the Bronx Bull was a middleweight contender instead of the champion, rules a 3-1 to 4-1 favorite for the Chicago stadium showdown, starting at 9 p.m. CST. Such odds are unprecedented for a challenger of the middleweight bauble. The International Boxing club card is expected to draw some 12,500 fans and gross $175,000. Millions of others will see it on television or hear it broadcast. Robinson's only loss in late October (78 of which he won by knockouts) was to LaMotta in the second meeting of their five-fight series. Jake won 79 out of 95 bouts, 28 by kayoes. A 10-round Mayo over the late Marcel Cerdan in 1948 gave LaMotta the middleweight bell. Last year he defended it successfully twice, taking a 15-round decision from Tiberio Mitri and rallying to chill Laurent Dauntuille in the final seconds of the 15th round at Detroit on Sept. 13, his last ring appearance. Robinson, who recent- It was ND's 11th victory against seven losses and avenged an earlier loss to St. Louis. Dan Bagley, with 31 points, tied Notre Dame's all-time single-game scoring record set by Vince Boryla against Detroit in 1945. Oregon gained undisputed possession of first place in the Northern division of the Pacific Coast conference by downing Washington State, the erstwhile leader 66-57. State fell to third place behind Washington. Oregon has a 7-4 conference mark. They play again tonight and a State victory would reverse their positions again. Kentucky, ranked No. 1 this week's Associated Press poll, took a breather from conference play—but the result was the same. The Wildcats smashed Xavier of Ohio, 78 to 51, as Bill Spivey poured in 40 points. It was Kentucky's 20th victory in 21 starts. North Carolina State North regionally, also gained a bit of revenge, whipping Louisville, 92-78, at Kaleigh N.C. Louisville had ripped State by 10 points on its home floor last month. Sam Ranzino scored 25 points for the winners. New Mexico A & M halted Arizona's Border conference winning streak at nine games by edging the Wildcats, 67-66, at Las Cruces, N.M. In other games, Detroit downed Houston, 70-61; LaSalle turned back Georgetown (DC), 79-74; George Washington trimmed South Carolina, 89-80; Wake Forest ripped Washington and Lee, 90-78; Cornell blasted Harvard 73-44, and Seton Hall pounded Murray State (Ky) 75-61. Guard Jim Donarski of the University of Arizona football team was the only soph named on either the 1950 All-Border Conference first or second teams. Stagg Still Nixes All-America Teams STOCKTON OH—More than 60 years after he himself was named to the first All-America football team, Amos Alonzo Stagg still is opposed to the idea of such all-star selections. The dean of coaches, who will be 89 on his next birthday, is Jake won 79 out of 95 bouts, 28 by kayoes. A 10-round Mayo over the late Marcel Cerdan in 1949 gave LaMotta the middleweight bell. Last year he defended it successfully twice, taking a 15-round decision from Tiberio Mitri and rallying to chill Laurent Dauthuille in the final seconds of the 15th round at Detroit on Sept. 13, his last ring appearance. Robinson, who recently returned from a European tour, has had eight fights in the last 65 days. Battle-scarred 29-year-old LaMotta has picked up a number of backers lately. Eyebrows were raised when he shunned all workouts for five days in an energy conservation plan. It now develops that he shed enough weight to make the 180-pound limit last week and then spent the final days stocking up fresh strength by adding a few pounds. Thus he was not forced barely to make the grade and can enter the ring with win. The trim Robinson, also 29, and regarded as one of history's greatest fighters, has had no weight bugaboo to cope with. Ring followers almost are unanimous that the title drawl will go the full distance. The rough-hewn LaMotta who never has been belted off his feet, and Robinson also believe the winner's arm will be roosted on a decision. Sugar has never suffered a knockout in his career, but he has been sent to the floor four times, twice by Jake. Robinson has reach; the boxing skill and probably the more punishing punch than Jake. But the Bull has the ruggedness and comeback strength that may be the key to the fight. Anahegh again started out in the second session. Schmitz the gang-up, hitting just everything that he threw in directions of the basket. Bar by him and Patikner and Will two free throws made Jake and after Jim Young had free throw. Faulkner hit and Schmitt stole the throwpot another. Still one more Schmitt but successive free throw. Denny, Schmitt and Eddie Iirez made it 32-13.

Stagg Still Nixes All-America Teams STOCKTON (A)—More than 60 years after he himself was named to the first All-America football team, Amos Alonzo Stagg will is opposed to the idea of such all star selections. The dean of coaches, who will be 89 on his next birthday, is adamant in his stand. He has never picked an All-America team and, he says, never will. This was his reply to an invitation by the Associated Press to join other famous football men in making such selections. The project is in cooperation with football's planned Hall of Fame. "I have always been opposed to All-America teams and selections and my position on this point has not changed one bit since I was first invited to pick a team for Walter Camp when I was at the University of Chicago more than 50 years ago." Stagg said. "I do not want to single out certain players because I do not think it can be justly done. However, as long as we do have All-America teams, I hope we have a lot of them. The more people who pick all star teams, the more justice will be done because more players will be named. "It is better to name a hundred players than only eleven or 22. And it would be even better to name a thousand because who is there to say that they are not all deserving?" The late Walter Camp, incidentally, named Stagg on his initial All-America team, in 1889. He was a Yale end. A teammate was Walter "Pudge" Heffelfinger. (Continued on Page 2) While the first three had no running periods, the Coloons were more than happy to with their depleted squad in closing quarter. They took few shots unless they were close and Webber and Jim Ball added two to open the period. Cruze got twirling pitch from the key, Welch, who was near physique collapse late in the game, plus a free throw and Steinborn hit from close in. With time running out, Salts became panicky and the "play" consisted of getting ball to Babcock who would pitch it regardless of place position. As a result, only he Dick Kitchin added free throw before Bert Haysom potted a fift bucket in the closing half minute. Ball, meanwhile, had hit latter part of a double foul to the Anaheim scoring. The ferocity of the play is reflected by the number of calls: 52, with the Colonists badly leading 27-20. Four of the Colonists Stay in Top-Strength Inx Fails SA; Anaheim 48-38 Santa Ana gymnasium jinx? Nutl! Anaheim's Colonists just about the finishing touches on the race of eliminating the Saints from the CIF playoffs yesterday and rugged 48-28 tilt and left some Santa Anans wonder-what had become of the myth home floor invulnerability. After going through almost two whole seasons without a loss there, Saints have now dropped both their last two home games, to Huntington Beach and on yesterday to the Colonists. During an upset by either the rams or Orange this Friday, the Saints will now have to be contested third place in the league, good enough for the post-season playoff. Newport Kenneth died with Colonists for first place yesterday capturing a 65-49 decision in Orange at both teams remain the title's playoff will undoubtedly be held to determine the winner of the Sunset League and set up pairings for the first end of the playoffs.

They have a chance to take the title for their own this Friday with a win over Orange here. Yesterday's victory kept them one game up on the Huntington Beach Oilers who won over Fullerton by a 65-38 count. Guard Bill Ames, who was potting shots that not even he knew he possessed, led this first quarter bash by scoring half of the Colonist points —10— during the eight-minute session, and he went on to accumulate 23 during the afternoon, high for any Colonist this season. Beyond that sordid chapter, the Saints played on pretty even terms with the Colonists, but they had trailed 20-6 at the first stop and it was simply too much to make up. The best that they could do was to cut it to 24-14—a 10 point margin—at one point in the second period. Being provided by two Anaheimickets to close the first two days.

He is now one point ahead of Santa Ana’s Rex Babcock who tallied 13 against Anaheim yesterday.

The best that they could do was to cut it to 24-14—a 10 point margin—at one point in the second period. Whenever the gap would close, however, the Colonists would again immediately open it. After that first lengthy spurt by Anaheim, it wasn’t too much of a show, most of the entertainment. YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE New in the W New in Style—New in Structure Potent in Price Appeal—It’s HERE is good news for folks with a shrewd eye for what their dollars will buy. Here is a tidy traveler that defies the upward trend of costs — proudly wears a 1951 price tag like that which zoomed last year’s SPECIAL into popularity so great that it put a crimp in “the low-priced three.” Take our word for it, this is every inch and ounce a Buick — Buick-featured, Buick-designed, Buick-built from the ground up — but literally the newest thing on wheels. The sturdy and ample body is new. The high-strength frame is new. The power is new to the SPECIAL, which now has the Colonists starters fouled out, while the Saints lost two. Strangely, Welch, the fifth Anaheim starter, did not collect a single foul until there were less than three minutes left in the game. In addition to the personal fouls, the Saints were socked three times on technicals, one each being called on Cruze, Babcock and the spectators. Babcock, fighting for the Sunset League scoring crown, wound up with the top figure for the day with 13 points and thus lost 12 points to Newport’s Armond Nettles who scored 25 against Orange.
