 The Dodgers will begin training at the summer resort on March IS and will return to Ebbets field for their first exhibition game against the Boston Red Sox April 3. In case of inclement weather, Brooklyn's scuad will use the U. s. Military academy's field house at West Point, four miles away.
 Last year the Dodgers conditioned at Havana, Cuba, and were sched- uled to work out at West Palm Beach, Fla, for 1943 before the ma- jor league clubs were asked to help solve wartime transportation diffi- culties by moving nearer to home.

FORMER HEATHER
 CHAMP GOOD IN TESI
PeraIta Eliminated; Will. son, Walter King, Loses
 to La Motta

New York, Jan. 1e-(Up)--set Jackie Wilson, welterweight chal, lenger, and Joey Peralta, lightweight contender, were chief victims last night In the greatest wave of up- sets that ever swept Madison Square Garden.
 wilson, the Chocolate Soldier from Mitchell Field, N. r., lost a 10-round decision to middleweight Jake Lamotta of the Bronx, and Peralta, in the co-feature 10. rounder dropped the duke to an. cient Chalky Wright of Los An- geles, former featherweight champ. whom Peralta had licked in l041.
 Wilson was 8 4-1 favorite over his heavier opponent Lamotta, while Peralta was favored ct 2 1-2 to 1 over Wright. Tn similar fashion, the faVorites in the four preliminaries were outpointed or knocked out. giving the longshot players a fleld- night.
 Sgt. wilson suffered the costli- est upset, because the Los Angeles larruper was trying to prove that he was more formidable l47- pound contender than unbeaten Young Ray Robinson of Harlem, who won a decisive decision over Lamotta last October. Had Wilson won last nights bout, he would haveI been tossed into the Garden ring with Young Robinson on Feb. 5. But his defeat not only cancelled such a meeting. it virtually being assured that Robinson will 90 into the Army Jan. 28.
 Handicapped
 Wilson, Q slender negro, with @ straight up-and down stance, stic- cumbed to improper training and too big weight handicap. He spotted rugged Lalnotta, the human truck, l6 pounds. He registered l45 against Lamotta's iS7. Tough, awkward Lamotta weighed at least six pounds more against wilson than he did last october when Robinson hammered out @ l0-rourd decision over him. The Bronx Middleweight came in at full strength, but the 145-pound wilson was ring rusty from lack of proper training due to his Army duties.
 Sgt. wilson seemed @ great fighter in the first two rounds. which he won with ease, but he started miss ing in the third as Lal11otta came on to fight on even terms. Then wilson seemed to run out of gas, be- cause Lamotta took command of the fight and clicked of the next five rounds.
 There were no kf1ockdowns. Tn the seventh LaYnotta actually had wilson groggy with wild swings to the head!s Lamotta used everything in his repertoire, but couldn't put Wilson down. Instead, Big Jake ran out of gas. Wilson came on to win the ninth and to fight on even terms in the 10th.
 "The Chalk" Scores
 Meanwhile. the crowd of 9,6S4 fans, who contributed gate of $21,- 3l5, saw Chalky Wright give light. weight Joey Peralta of Tamaqua. Pa, Q boxing lesson as he too pounded ovt a unanimous decision. WrightS left hook to the head and his smashing right to the body slow ed grin- -visaged Peralta to a walk. Referee Frankie Fullam gave Per- alta the seventh round on @ foul because of Wright's low blows, but Wright won going away. Chalky scaled 130 l-2, spotting his oppc- nent 5 3-4 pounds as he practically eliminated Peralta from the light- weight contenders' picture.

HOOP CHAMPIONS
 AT NEW HAVEN
Yale Has Green" Team to Test Against Seasoned
 Hanover Squad

New Haven, Jan. 16.-The peren- nial Eastern Intercollegiate League basketball champions, Dartmouth, will invade the Payne Whitney gym tonight and are highly favored to defeat a fighting but inexperienced Yale team. It will be Dartmouths first league contest and 1t will start the Big Green on the road to &C., complish what moo ther club has ever come close to doing-win the league title for six years running.
 Four of the five starters for Dart mouth were regulars on last years championship team, while Yale will have four sophomores in the start ing lineup who are playing their third intercollegiate basketball game.
 The record of the teams to date gives an accurate picture of their comparative strength. Against some of the toughest competition in the nation, Dartmouth has won five and lost one, losing only to Toledo University, 52 to 48, in hard fought contest. Yale, on the other hand, has won three and lost three, but two of the three losses were administered by the only two college teams that they have played,
 Slow but Sure
 Despite the tremendous odds against him, Coach Red Rolfe of Yale is not singing the blues. "Our team is improving steadily" said Rolfe, "and even against Dartmouth I expect them to look letter than they have in the last two games" l"
 Dartmouth'S coach, Ossie Cowles, when queried about the chances of his team winning another cham pionship, reluctantly admitted that with plenty of breaks and the prop CT mental attitude on the part of his veterans, that the Green might finish first again. Remember, !" cautioned Cowles, "a team has to be lucky to win championship and the Dartmouth team this season will not be any exception"
 In a preliminary game at ' o'clock. the Yale Freshmen will play the Pratt-Whitney team, coached by a former Yale player. Bill zilly. The varsity game will start at 8:30 ?. m. The hneups:

Schoolboy Basketball InformaClon

Prin. John Brophy's Drlggs school aggregation is having things pretty much it's own way in the Major di- vision of the Public school loop, but the Minor group is producing quite @ scramble for honors with three teams, Andersen, Maloney and Bar nard, all tied up for first place with one defeat apb:ce in six games.
 Russ Gilligan's Anderson crew beat Maloney 1S to 15, while Ma loney in turn beat Barnard 21 to 17. Anderson and Barnard clash next Friday afternoon at the Leav- enworth gym. The contest was or- iginally scheduled for Anderson's own floor, but the heating regula- tions brought about the shift. It is still possible that the Anderson gym may yet be used because the winner is sure to become a favorite to win the title.
 Tho Parcchial league also has a big game coming up Monday after noon at the Webster gym when the league leading SS. Peter & Paul club faces the strong St. Thomas troupe. St. Thomas is nathematical- ly "out" of the race for first round fonors but 6 win for the north end- CTS will throw the leadership into a deadlock between St. Joseph, St, Marys, and sS, Peter and Paul.
 The Leavenworth high school A. A. has invited the two undef:ated schoolhoy teams, SS. Peter & Paul of the Parochial and Drlggs of the Major Public leagues to play the preliminary to the Leavenworth- Hamden game at the Wilby gym Tuesday afternoon. The teams have accepted and the contest will go on at { o'clock. School children of all Parochial and Public schols will be admitted for ten cents to see the two games.
 Director Bill Derwin's refereeing staff which compromised nine men at the start of the season dwindled to three this past week when Al Monti was hospitalized for appendi- citis and "Whitey" Duglecki joined Uncle Sam's Navy.
 The high schocol freshmen league, fourth member of the park depart- ment's basketball family, will usher in the season next Wednesday af- ternoon at the Leavenworth gym. Sacred Heart high will meet Will by's yearlings in the opener at 3 o'clock, while Crosby and Leaven- worth first year lads will clash in the other half of. the win bill.
 The Frosh league was originally scheduled to function at the Cros- by gym but due to the condition of the floor which is badly warped as the result of a break Tn the sprink- Ter system a short time ago.
 The first accident of the season in the schoolboy circuits occurred Thursday afternoon at the Leaven- worth gym when big Don Synott, SS. Peter & Paul player, crashed into the unprotected stage at the end of the gym sustaining a lacer- ated shin bone. Synott will probably be on the sidelines for the crucial game with St. Thomas on Monday and the exhibition with Driggs Tuesday at Wilby.
