Duke University's floor squad Is
out for a cleanup on it's Washington
invasion and if the Colonials aren't
in the groove tonight when they
meet the Blue Devils they may
take it on the chin.
That's the talk around Catholic

court contest of the season to Duke
last night. 33 to 49, 1t was Dukes
first win in three games.
Duke Better All Around.
A taller and bigger Duke team
uncovering a better passing attack
and a well-rounded game led the
Cardinals, 18 to 13. at half time,
then breezed into an 18-point lead
at one spot in the second half.
Mike Cherello, c. U. guard. broke
the ice with a two-pointer in the
first minute of the game and for
a short stretch the Cardinals were
in front. Then Ed Smokes, crack
Duke guard, got started and from
then on it was all Duke. Between
Smokes and Forward Glenn Price,
each of whom scored four baskets,
life was not altogether a thing OF
beauty for the Cardinals.
Jim Mulvihill at forward, a WASH
ington boy who plays lot of half
back on the c. U. football squad, was
the scoring spark for the Cardinals.
Mulvihill tossed four field goals and
two fouls while Guard Gene DAILY,

ziviic' s Showiinq
In Draw Worse
Than jenkins
Only Late Rush Saves
WeIter Champ From
Loss to Weak Foe
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Promoter
Mike Jacobs must have had an un-
easy minute or two last night while
the announcer was gathering up the
slips and discovering that Fritzie
Zivic and Lew Jenkins had fought
themselves a 10-round draw in the
Garden.
Mike already had Zivic signed to
defend his welterweight title against
Henry Armstrong on January II,
and that would have been a fine one
to try to ballyhoo if Fritzie had
dropped a duke to Jenkins, the
cadaverous lightweight champ.
Late Rally Saves Zivic.
And Zivic came very close to doing
Just that. All that saved him was
a determined rally in the last four
stanzas. Steve Hamas, one of the
judges, called it even after the
other two officials had given a split
verdict. Referee George Walsh
thought Jenkins won it.
A bulging crowd of 1000 didn't
see single knockdown, even though
jenkins planted his noted right on
Zivic's features many time. Fritzie

Knockout if they had been fight
ing a 15-rounder. Jenkins, who is
not a distance horse, put so much
fury into his early efforts that he
began to weaken midway and
couldn't get away from Zivics
straight lefts. They snapped his
tired head around and piled up the
points that enabled Fritzie to scrape
through.
jenkins Fades Quickly.
OF the two, Zivic was the bigger
disappointment. A 1-to-2 favorite
at fight time. the Pittsburgh veteran
had practically no right at all, and
only his superior inhghting enabled
him to hold Jenkins close for the
trst tive rounds. The referee warned
him repeatedly for doing funny
things in the clinches, but took no
rounds away from him.

proved himself as willing to wade in
and swap with Zivic as with the
hghtweights he has been slugging
around. 1t already was known from
his knockout by Armstrong that he
was prone to fade if he couldn't
stop his man quickly. Last night
