 New York, April 2-(UP)-Pri9e fighters ordinarily fade down the road Co obscurity by way Of the primrose path but Jacobs Beach had and new and disconcerting method to puzzle over today-ham n eggs and steak Smothered in cG1- ions.
 Ordinarily such culinary contor- tlons simply advance 6 man from the undernourished proportions of Q flyweight to the robust stature of heavyweight. But ration-con- scioUs England fears for the waist. line wanderings of British Empire Heavyweight Champion Bruce Woodcock, who comes here 10 days hence.
 To TOckle Tami
 Lew Burston, European represen- tative for promoter Mike Jacobs, made this disclosure as he returned after signing Woodcock to fight Tami Mauriello at Madison Square Garden on May l3. The worry is attributed to manager Tom Hurst.
 "Is 1t true that in America you can get steak and eggs every day?" Hurst inquired of BurSton.
 "sure," said Burston, who must know somebody.
 That worries me-" Hurst replied. "Bruce might eat himself right out of shape"
 All of which baffles the rotund Burston, who can't conceive how the lS6-pound Woodcock might grow too big.
 "I've been in this business all my life and I never heard a reason like that" he said, running stubby fingers through @ thisk mop Of black -gray-shot hair. "Id say that his biggest hazard-is his first Amer ican fight. If he wins that one he'll be tough boy to stop"
 Woodcock is the best fighter Burston Saw in England and Uncle Mikes road man believes he'll be . hit in the states. Young and rugged, the Englishman has won every fight he has had--and all but one by the knockout route. In addition to packing wallop he can take one, too, for he has come off the deck to win.
 Burston, who formerly promoted boxing in Paris and London, was worried about, two items as he com pleted his 53rd round trip to the continent. One was his job and the other was Woodcock's silence.
 @I'm Mikes European represent ative," he explained laughingly.
 sWell, l hustled homeland hust- led myself out of work. If I'm in New York can't very well be Eu- ropean representative, can IF"
 As for Woodcock's lack of loQuac- fly, Burston insists that the boxers vocabulary consists of two words: ~Ask Tom.R

If the city is to advance with the times there must be some further revenue, such as might come from public utilities which could be ac- quired by the city.
 Mrs. Carrie McLain City Clerk, spoke briefly in praise of Mayor Seidenverg, stating that she thor ougly enjoyed working with the mayor and council members throughout the past year, in that they had really accomplished something in getting plans started for postwar projects and that the new mayor and council members who will be taking office in the near future will be hard pressed to maintain the high standards set by the present city officers.

Dorothy Bender, as a very dumb cook, will tickle your humor and astound you with her dumbness. Eunice Logan, Eloise Beecham and Irene Hyde also add their theatrical ability to this very out standing cast of characters.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Mar. 49,
Members of the Southeastern Con-
ference Executive Committee de-
clined comment today on criticism
by Coach Bob Neyland of Tennessee
directed at ruling here yesterday
under which two Tennessee half
backs were declared ineligible.
Neyland, in Memphis for a
coaches meeting, said the decision
making ineligible any player who
enters into professional agreement
was "the grossest injustice" The
five-man committee action was
among that taken during a special
Interpretations" session on various
eligibility rules.
He said the players. Bobby Offers
and Jim Tarrant, signed contracts
with the Detroit Lions in 1914 when
under wartime ruling, player was
ineligible only If he had played with
professional team or had COM
pleted four years of collegiate COM
petition.
Duration Measure Rescinded.
The duration measure was among
those rescinded May 8, 1945, when
all prewar eligibility rulings except
one permitting freshmen to play
varsity sports, were restored.
Those boys entered into the pre-
contract in good faith" Neylanc
declared. They haven't played anc
they have never received any com.
pensation. If they are ruled in.

Australians Opposing
Revival Of 0|ympics
As Peace Menace
BY the Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Mar. 16.-De-
cision to resume the Olympic games
in England in 1913 has been strongly
criticized in Australia.
D. S. Carter, vice president OF
the Amateur Swimming Union OF
Australia, said recently: II had
hoped the games would never be
revived. They are nothing but a
battle of nations"
Many people would think there
was sufficient international mis-
understanding to last for some
years without resuming the Olympic
games" the Melbourne Herald said
editorially. IF sport could claim
like art, to know no frontiers, the
official announcement of the re-
vival Of the games would receive a
unanimous welcome.
However, incidents at the last
empire games in Sydney showed
that even within the imperial fam
lily sport for sports sake was not
the only spirit prevailing"

Representative Asks
Ceiling on Cagers
BY the Assoeiofed Press

Representative Harold c. Hagen
of Minnesota offers the suggestion
that the center jump should be
restored to basket ball to slow the
game enough for the spectators to
follow it. And he adds the proviso
that centers should be limited In
height to feet or less.
The tall boys could play other po-
sitions, Hagen figures, and any team
has at least one little fellow who'd
come under the 6-foot ceiling.
If that would make the game too
slow, the Representative offers an
alternative of having the center
Jump only after field goals and
taking the ball outside as it is done
now after successful free throws.
Explaining his interest, Hagen
adds that his son, Harold, jr, is q
reserve on the Anacostia High
School team.
