His draft board, which had him on a deferred 1-A basis because of a broken wrist suffered with the Cards, said it would be happy to oblige, and ordered him to report for duty Feb. 20. A slashing back, Matson led the University of San Francisco—which since has dropped the sport to 10 straight victories and was named to All-Amera honors in 1951 after setting a new collegiate ground gaining record of 3166 yards in three seasons.

ANAHEIM RADIATOR REPAIR Rear Crowell Olds 252 North Los Angeles St. PHONE 300 huck Davey In Tenth Champ Flunks Southpaw in Final Pugilistic Course By JACK HAND CHICAGO (AP)—Cuba Kid Gavilan, a rugged champion from the school of hard knocks, floored college-bred Chuck Davey four times Wednesday night with his explosive punching to hold his world welter-weight title on a tenth round technical knockout. The previously unbeaten Davey was unable to answer the bell for the 10th after absorbing a bloody beating in the savage ninth. Switching southpaw at times against his left-handed foe, Gavilan flunked the Michigan State Grad in the finals of his graduate course in pugilism. After the bout was stopped he gaily danced a few rhumba steps in his corner while waving to the rearing crowd of Davey partisans at Chicago stadium. It was no contest although the game Davey kept flicking his impotent punches in annoying fashion against the 27-year-old champ from Camaquey. Decked for a nine-count in the third from a furious fusillade of right handed punches, Davey survived until the sleek Keed turned on the heat in the ninth. Gavilan amused himself by switching southpaw in the fifth and sixth. Attack Swarming to the attack in the ninth, after he had opened a cut under Davey's right eye in the previous round, the strong Gavilan simply overwhelmed the serawny-looking lad who had escaped defeat in 39 previous pro fights. Davey seemed aware that he couldn't last long after the cut opened. So he came out punching in the ninth. That was just what Gavilan had been waiting for. A joltting right hand punch to Deacon Jack Retires Newest Heavy Prospect SEATTLE (AP) — Deacon Jack Hurley Wednesday retired his newest heavyweight prospect, Lee L.kovsek, to save the bright young clouder from possible serious injury in the ring. The former University of Washington football player had only two fights after training for a year under Hurley, winning **Cage Scores** DAVOS, Switzerland — Jean Westwood and Lawrence Demmy, 21-year-old British world ice dancing champions, were well on their way toward winning the title again Wednesday night after spelling the day dancing the rocker, fox trot, a Viennese waltz, the Argentine tango and the Kelan, a quickstep. Demmy and Miss Westwood, who dance around on skates with more grace than most people must do in a ballroom, were awarded first place by four of the five judges Wednesday and second place by another for six placement points and total points of 117.4. Another British couple, Joan Lewhurst, 15, and John Slater, 23, finished the compulsory dancing in second place with 10 and 110 points. In third place were Carol Ann Hoyns, 20 and Daniel Ryan, 23, both of Washington Miss Peters is a student at St. Lawrence university and Ryan is an army corporal at Camp Drummond, New York. They had 16 and 104.4 points. Another American couple, Virginia Hayns, pretty 23-year-old New York secretary, and Donald Jacoby, 22-year-old senior at Pennsylvania university, were fourth with 22 and 101 points. The ice dancing will continue Thursday. **Attack** Swarming to the attack in the ninth, after he had opened a cut under Davey's right eye in the previous round, the strong Gavilan simply overwhelmed the serawny-looking lad who had escaped defeat in 39 previous pro fights. Davey seemed aware that he couldn't last long after the cut opened. So he came out punching in the ninth. That was just what Gavilan had been waiting for. A joltting right hand punch to Davey's reddened chops dropped him in mid-ring. He scrambled up to take the last part of a nine-count on one knee. Pressing his attack against a man who now was badly hurt, Gavilan sent him to the deck again with a smashing left hook. Once more he took the count of nine. Leaping in with all the fury of the attack that stopped young Gil Turner last July in Philadelphia. Gavilan slammed home a series of right hand punches that drove Davey through the ropes to the ring apron on his back. The ex-collegian was back on his knees at about four but took the full nine count. **Even Scoring** Scoring of the officials was fairly even on a point basis as far as the bout went. Referee Frank Gilmer had Gavilan ahead 49 to 41, but had awarded only three rounds to Gavilan, calling four even and giving the fourth and seventh to Davey. Judge John Bray called it for Gavilan, 51-39, giving him six rounds, making it one even and awarding the second and fourth to Davey. The other judge, Ed Hintz, voted 52 to 38 for Gavilan Hintz saw five rounds for Gavilan, three even and gave the fourth to Davey. In Illinois, scoring is based on 10 points per round. Gavilan's explosive ninth won him an 8-2 count from Hintz and Gilmer, almost without precedent. The Associated Press card had Gavilan winning six rounds, Davey two and one even. Gavilan fought like the 3 to 1 favorite he was retreating while Chuck, the darling of the TV fans flicked his right jab and pawed with his left. When the time came, Gavilan was more than ready. "Another Fight" "Just another fight," said Gavilan in the dressing room. "I not in trouble any time I then ask maybe I try for middleweight soon Iick all walterweights." "I knew I had been from the first time I knock him down He game but needed more experience." Davey at 147 was a half pound heavier than Gavilan. In fact he had to weigh three times before he made the 147 pound class limit. **SEATTLE** Deacon Jack Hurley Wednesday retired his newest heavyweight prospect, Lee Lokovsek, to save the bright young clover from possible serious injury in the ring. The former University of Washington football player had only two fights after training for a year under Hurley, winning both by crack knockouts. Late last month Lokovsek was hurt in an automobile accident and was unconscious for 12 hours from a head injury. Hurley said he feared a blow to the head in the ring might result in permanent or even fatal injury to his young star. "I made him promise me to quit the ring for keeps," said Hurley. Gavilan was more than ready "Another Fight" "I just another fight," said Gavilan in the dressing room. "I not in trouble any time I theenk maybe I try for middleweight soon I lick all walterweights. "I knew I had been from the first time I knock him down He game but needed more experience." Davey at 147 was a half pound heavier than Gavilan. In fact he had to weigh three times before he made the 147 pound class limit. This battle, No. 105 of Gavilan's brilliant career, was watched by millions on the TV network. Television people said it probably was the largest audience ever to see a fight. Davey was the lure. There was no radio broadcast. Twice-Arrested Reckless Driver Gets 30 Days Harold Miller, arrested twice Tuesday first for reckless driving and later for racing, was sentenced to 30 days in the Orange county jail yesterday by Municipal Judge John Shea. Convicted on a charge of a minor being in possession of alcohol, Miller ID: 320 E Wilhilemina st., was arrested after police received a report that he and another boy were racing through an alley east of Office st near Walthamna st. An hour earlier he had been cited for reckless driving after attempting to elude a police car, ending in a ditch near the Orange drive-in theater. In his haste to shake off the trailing police car, Miller van red lights at Santa Ana st and South st on Los Angeles st, and went through the boulevard stop sign at the intersection entering highway 101. In addition to the jail term, Miller's driver license was suspended for 90 days. SAYS FBI TO ACT — Sen. Frank A Barrett (R-WYO) has announced that a senate elections subcommittee he heads has asked the FBI to determine whether Vice President Richard M. Nixon was slandered during the 1952 election campaign. Barrett said the group concluded that two anti-Nixon documents, reportedly involved Nixon in a $30,000 deal with oil interests, were forged and decided to ask the justice department to find out whether there was ground for criminal action.
