Disputed Graham-Gilbert Is Subject Of Records May Fall As Washington Huskies Blaze Through NEW YORK (UP)—An assistant attorney general said Wednesday an investigation is being conducted to determine if there was any corruption or fraud in the recent controversial bout between welterweight contender Billy Graham and Joey Giardello, a ranking middleweight. As a result of Asst. Atty. Gen. Samuel Hirschowitz' statement, Supreme Court Justice Bernard Botelin reserved decision on Giardello's motion to compel the State Athletic Commission to declare him the winner of the 10-round bout with Graham in Madison Square Garden, Dec. 19. Reversed Decision Giardello, of Philadelphia, was first announced as winner of the bout by a two to one decision. But 20 minutes after the verdict was rendered Chairman Bob Christenberry and Commissioner Dr. C. B. Powell of the SAC changed the card of Judge Joe Agnello and declared Graham the victor by a two to one vote. "The commission acted arbitrarily, capriciously and without power," contended J Norman Lewis, Giardello's attorney. Hirschowitz said Christenberry inspected the cards of all three ring officials and said that Agnello had not complied with the rules of the commission in scoring two of the rounds. Grossly Unfair "Consequently," the state lawyer said, "a result occurred so grossly unfair as it amount to a LOS ANGELES, Jan. 28. (UP) A half dozen individual and team records are threatened by the Washington Huskies, far ahead of the pack in the Pacific coast conference northern division basketball race. Half way through its conference season and undefeated in division play, Washington boasts the top scorer in center Bob Houbregs who has scored 227 points at an average of 28.4 in eight games. At the present pace he should crack the record of 265 points held by Jack Nichols of the 1948 Washington team. Second Scorer Second in scoring is Oregon's Chet Noe, who is hitting at 17.3, an average that would top Nichols' mark, according to PCC statistics released Wednesday. Houbregs is hitting 50 per cent of his field goal attempts, well above the 1951 record of 46.7 set by Ladon Henson of Washington. As a team Washington, ranked number three in the national Associated Press poll, is shooting 39.6 per cent from the floor and 73.3 from the free throw line. Both are better than existing division records. The Huskies have scored 593 points.
