Ken 0verIin Gets
Unpopular Nod
Over BeIaise

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. tUP)-The
public and promoter Mike Jacobs
demanded a return title match be-
tween Middleweight Champion Ken
Overlin. miracle man of Maui, and
Steve Belloise of the Bronx. the
Youthful challenger who almost
"moidered" Overlin during last
nights electrifying battle at Madi-
son Square Garden.
Veteran Overlln made his first
defense of the 160-pound crown be-
fore 1901 fans by rising from the
floor in the sixth round and staging
one of the most amazing rallies
in ring history to wind up with the
15-round decision.
This decision was unpopular with
the home town fans who booed ii
for nearly five minutes. But it was
definite verdict, with the two
judges, George Kelly and George
LIE Cron. voting for Overlin. anc
Referee George Walsh calling it 6
draw.
The home town fans, who con-
tributed a gate of s29,838, did no
boo Overlin who gave them all the
thrills of resurrection in the
sixth round, when he came bacl
from groggy-land to carry the figh
to the 21-year-old, dark-hairec
Italian who had him in a coma
during a minute and 20 seconds O
the sixth session.

Maynard stopped an Imperial
drive on the Holtville 40 yard line
when he intercepted a pass thrown
by Bob Danskin and ran to the
Holtville 25 yard line.
Otis picked up six yards at tackle,
Maynard got three at guard and
moved the ball to the Holtville 40
where the Viking backfield star
galloped go yards to score on the
next play. He reversed his field
twice and outran the entire I'M
perial secondary.
ImperialS most serious threat of
the ball game came in the fourth
period when the Tigers put the ball
in play on their own 81 yard line.
Nakazona skirted end for 81 yards
to the Holtville 81. NakaZona pick
ed up five more at tackle and Otis
King added five more to the Holt
vile 81.
Nakazona got one yard at end
and then King tossed three in
complete passes to end the threat
Imperial pushed to the Hcltville
% yard line as the game ended af-
ter King had intercepted a Holt
vile pass on the Viking 38 yard
line.
Maynard was easily the outstand-
ing backfield man of the ball game
scoring both Holtville touchdowns
and stacking up most of the yard
age gained. Otis and Hawk gave him
good support. Sunni was the out
standing defensive man for the Vik-
ings.
For Imperial King and Nakazons
were most impressive in the back
field, Bob HavenS, center, was the
best defense man on the club.

Both early selling and late covering
were attributed TO evening up ope-

uncertainties of the war and the

A new move to boost seasonal
membership in the Barbara Worth
country club was mapped Saturday
with the announcement that play
right" dues will be slashed this
year from 81 a month to S.
Family play rights, which give
full club privileges to all members
of a family, were cut from SO to
Sc.
President NJ. o. Simms explained
the move as designed to make it
possible for a substantially larger
group of residents to enjoy the
golf club.
I'VE have felt for a long time
that the play right dues figure
has discouraged many persons frorN
holding full memberships and has
even encouraged them to pay green
fees rather than be a part of the
club" Simms said.
Under The revised schedule, how
ever, that group will find it will be
less expensive to be playing mem
Der with full privileges at all times
than to play on day to day bas-
is"
A membership campaign was eX-
pected TO get under way next week
with a goal of more than 100 play
right members.
SimmS pointed out that the slighi
difference between single and FAM
lily play right memberships should
be an inducement to men who
may thus give their entire fam
lilies the privileges of a country
club with only minor additional
expense.
At a board meeting Friday night
| Johnny Turnac, professional, re-
ported that the change of weather
was just in time to boost the rye
greens planted early in the fall
He predicted that the first of the
new greens would be ready for play
| this month and indicated that the
regular green's would be put into
play as they develop. 1t will prob
ably be December before all the

Brawlev and Calexico high school
football teams battled 48 minutes
on Brawley field Friday night tc
find out that they might as wei
have stayed in the gymnasium be-
cause when the dust had cleared
neither goal line had been crossed
and the teams still held their posi-
tions in the league race.
The 90 deadlock did favor the
Ell Centre Spartans, however, be-
cause should the Spartans go
through the remainder of the sea-
son undefeated Friday nights tie
will serve, for all FL Centre pur-
poses. as a defeat on both Brawley
and CaleXico records.
On the other side of the fence
Holtville emerged with its first
victory of the season over an I'M
perial squad and left the impress
sion that the Vikings will have TO
be reckoned with III second rouno
play.
Besides coming up with an in
itial triumph Holtville also offered
two all-valley possibilities in WIN
ming from Imperial. They are Gene
Maynard. backfield star, and Wing
man sunni, who played an out
standing game on defense at his
end position. Walter zumstein, all
valley tackle from last years team
was lust $3.50 and will have TO
improve to merit consideration.
Imperials only all-valley possi-
bility at the moment is Bob Havens,
center. who has played four great

been better than average on Of

pound Gopher, and he is the best
kicker in the conference. There
isn't a safety man in this section
who is his equal. When an enemy
back gets loose and is headed for
home his teammates "let George
do it, and he does. He saved the
Washington game by bringing down
Steele who was loose with the hu-
man tank, Mucha, running ahead.
He saved the Ohio State game by
knocking Don Scott out of bounds
when that Buckeye was only few
inches from pay dirt with the tying
touchdown.
He is the teams best passer and
the teams best pass receiver. He
doesn't go down under his own
passes and catch them, but no one
would be surprised if he did. He

to win today in Dyche stadium. The
betting is that the Wildcats won't
be able to do it, despite the fact
that the atmosphere in Dyche stad-

won a game in Evanston since 1929

By HENRY McLEMORE

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Nov. 2. (UP)-
If picking an All-America football
team is your business Or hobby you
can't very well stay out OF the
midwest this season, because every
Saturday afternoon a fresh, grade
A, candled star is cut loose on the
gridiron.
One week its Harmon, the next
it's De Correvont, and now, today,
it is George Franck, the going
Gopher who will operate for Min
nesota against Northwestern here.
Knowing football critics say Franck
has everything Harmon has except
the publicity, and that he will take
care of that today when, cast in
the star role of the days top game
between two undefeated, united
teams, he takes off his wraps and
goes to town.
With the possible exception of
Bob Saggau Of Notre Dame, Franck
is the fastest man in mid-Western
football and one of the swiftest
anywhere in the country. He is the
fourth ranking sprinter in the big
ten and has done 09.8 on cinders
and in track pants, and probably
can turn the 100 in 10 flat in full
football equipment.
Franck is an Iowa boy, as is
Saggau, which must make Hawkeye
followers wonder why they were
ever allowed to get out of the
state. That would have been pref
ty fair Iowa backfield last year il
Saggau and Franck had been cruis-
ing along with Nile Kinnick. Poor
Iowa just can't get the home boys
to come to school there. What
teams they would have had if such
Iowa boys as Johnny Baker OF
use, O'Dell Of Pitt, Gloden of Tu-
lane, Vosberg of Marquette, Mike
Layden of Notre Dame, Jay Ber-
Wanger of Chicago and Stecker ol
use had not strayed far from the
corn fields.
But to get back to F'ranck. He
isn't just a ball carrier. He car
do everything on a football team
and darn near does. There isn't a
better signal caller than the IT'S.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-W. r.
Davis. mystery man" of interna-
tional oil deals who has had close
association with numerous high
Nazi officials. declined to comment
today on statement that he
brought a German peace plan 10
the state department in Washing
ton in October of 1889.
The statement mentioning Davis
was made in Washington by Verne
Marshall. Iowa editor and chair
man of the no foreign war COM
mittee. who said the state
department never took any action
on the lust and honorable" peace
offer brought by Davis.
Arthur Hobson, a Davis asso-
ciate. said after comforting with
the oil man:
1--WE have decided not to make
any comment one way or the
other. II MIR. Davis decides to
say anything later, II will he
made public. But he has decided
not to now" =
Davis has had one of the most
spectacular careers in the oil in
dustry and his business relations
with Germany date back well be-
fore the Nazi regime gained power.
When the Nazis assumed power
Davis arranged through a mutual
