Odds on Montgomery
|For Williams Bout
Drop 10 6 TO 5
By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 25.-The
odds on Ike Williams chances of
winning his 33d consecutive victory
when he meets Bob Montgomery In
12-rounder at Convention Hall to-
night have been hammered down to
almost even money.
Prior to the weighing in cere-
monies today the odds were down
to 6 to 5, still in the Bobcats favor,
however. The Philadelphia light
weight held q 2-to-1 advantage in
the betting two weeks ago.
Backers of the 23-year -old dark
skinned Williams maintain he will
take the Bobcat in his stride, even
though the local fighter has a s.
pound weight advantage. The Tren-
ton Terror, who. is lightning fast
with his fists, may taken an early
lead, but the last half OF the battle
will be the deciding phase, the ex-
perts claim.
Both fighters have a great deal
at stake. A win for williams will
assure him of top billing in every
major fight club In the Nation, which
would bring with it top earnings.
A win for the Bobcat would assure
a top gate for his return bout with
Champion Beau Jack sometime in
March and scheduled meeting with
Bunny Davis next month. A loss to
Williams wouldn't necessarily knock
the Bobcat out of these matches,
but the gate would suffer.
Some 10000 fight fans are ex-
pected to pay upwards of $4,000 to
see the two lightweights in action.
The Bobcats hackers claim he will
probably get of to his usual slow
start. but will win in q walk after
he gets moving. Montgomery lost
the New York-Pennsylvania version
of the world lightweight champion
ship to Beau Jack last fall.

lover Week End
by GEORGE HUBER.

The first-place tie in the high
school basket ball championship
race which currently has Western,
originally q dark-horse entry, dead
locked with Eastern, one OF the pre-
season favorites, will be broken Sat-
urday night when the two leaders
tangle In the feature OF four series
games over the week end.
Their Saturday clash at Tech

interesting game In which the much

Tech, defending high school and
metropolitan champion, which has
been the victim of two straight
upsets and now finds itself mired
down in the second division.
Fridays feature game will be the
opener between Coolidge and VIII
son, both tied for third place, while
the second game between Central
and Anacostia likely will decide the
eventual cellar dweller. Neither has
been able to scare up a victory, and
OH previous showings this will be
the only opportunity for either.

ing Wilson, Roosevelt and Tech,
while Western was winning over
Roosevelt, Anacostia and Central.
Eastern, having met stronger oppo-
sition SO far, should be the fayorite.
but the series this year has seen so
many upsets that nothing is certain.
Eastern's win over Tech, Wilson's
triumph over the same club and
Roosevelts one-point margin over
Coolidge are the three big upsets so
far, and more may be in the offing,
western has a team of big boys,
with Ray Love the outstanding
scorer. Ray is real shooting artist
and holds the season record of 20
points in single game. Some Of his
baskets come from seemingly i'm
possible angles, and Easterns de-
fense, generally regarded as the
tightest in the series, may be hard
put to stop him. Brian Bell, who
usually plays the pivot position for
the Red Raiders, also is a scoring
threat, and he, too, promises to fur
nish trouble for the Ramblers with
his ability to snare rebounds.
Pappafotis Is Eastern Ace.
Eastern also has a real ball hawk
in little Mike Pappafotis. 1t was
Mixes fighting qualities and ability
to get In on every scrimmage that
played big part in Eastern's upset
OF Tech. Most of the Ramblers'
scoring has been handled by Bob
Lamon and Sam Dellinger, both of
whom are particularly dangerous on
set shots.
The Coolidge Wilson tilt on Fri.
day probably rates toss-up. Cool
idge is bit stronger down the line
than Wilson, which started the sea-
son with little hope of going any,
where, but which has improved
steadily. Addy Bassin, who is val
liable particularly when the going
gets hot; George Lafferty and Lou
Welnstein are dangerous scoring
threats for Coolidge, while Wilson
can counter with Stew Brown and
Tom McLarney. Brown is another
ball hawk with fighting qualities
that have helped turn the tide of
several games in Wilson's favor.
