There also was an indication that

Louis, Godoy Booed
By Small Crowd in
Opener Of Tour
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 8.-World
Heavyweight Boxing Champion Joe
Louis first exhibition with Arturo
Godoy last night in his Latin
American tour drew q small crowd
which expressed little pleasure and
considerable disfavor.
The great 60,000-seat bull ring was
about one-fifth occupied. There was
no announcement of attendance or
receipts, but 1t looked as If everyone
but the fighters lost money. They
got theirs before they came here;
Louis, $4,000, and Godoy, Chilean
champion, $10,500.
Louis and his trainers took passage
on the first morning plane for San
Salvador where Joe is to put on an
exhibition with his sparring partner,
Walter Heater.
The heavyweights boxed 10 two
minute rounds with 14-ounce gloves.
It was tame affair which contained
very little slugging and no damage.
Godoy, who showed a tendency to
stick close to the champion and
prevent him from opening up, un-
officially earned the sixth and eighth
rounds by narrow margin. Louis
outclassed the Chilean during the
rest, except for the first and third
rounds which unofacially were called
even.
The small crowd, lost in the huge
chilly bull ring, watched the early
rounds with silence and then began
to boo and whistle, shouting for the
fighters to mix it up. Louis weighed
213, Godoy 210.
The applause Of the evening went
to Nicolas Moran, 1856, of Mexico
who knocked our George Hansford
in 21s minutes of the third of their
scheduled 10-round semifinal bout.
Haefer, who will put on most of
the bouts with Louis on their Latin
American junket said after the ex-
hibition: "Joe is still too heavy,
and he just wouldn't open up"
Godoy, however, didn't appear
anxious to give Louis much Of a
chance to show his championship
style, nor did fans think he fought
as though he were out to win.

Harold Newhouser, who would like
$4,000 for his services with the
Detroit Tigers in 1947, conferred
late yesterday with Detroit Cen

Building Difficulties
May Delay Scheme
Til 1919 Season
By Lewis F. Atchison

GEORGETOWN and George Wash
ington will play BASKET ball double
headers in the city's new National
Guard Armory next winter-n the
place is ready. But Rome Schwagel
Georgetown's graduate manager,
today expressed doubt that plan
agreed on by himself and Graduate
Manager Max harrington Of George
Washington, could be put into op-
Grafton before the 1948-9 season.
First, the place must seat $4,000
fans to be profitable. Schwagel and
Harrington believe at least 1000
seats must be reserved for students
of the two schools, and they would
have to draw 5000 customers to pay
the freight. Dressing rooms must
be built, showers installed, fire exits
opened and approved by the District
Of Columbia Fire Department, and
finally, games must be arranged.
The two can't approach name"
teams until they know the answers
to all Of these questions,
Schwagel is Pessimistic.
Frankly, doubt if Wen be able
to get into the armory next year,
Schwagel said. For one thing, I'm
not sure the FBI will be out of there
by the middle of March. If it's any
later don't see how they can get
the place ready for sports"
He added that an expert seating
authority would be called in to fig
ure the capacity before anything
further was done. The 69th Regi-
ment armory in New York, huge
place, seats only 5000, Schwagel
pointed out.
The matter of equipment also is a
problem, although the armory will
supply all sports facilities, such as
basket ball floor, boxing ring, in
door track, etc. The Boston Garden
waited 16 months for its portable
basket ball court and Schwagel
doubts If one could be delivered in
Washington in time to use next win
ter. Bleacher seats also are hard to
get.
Arrangement Is Temporary.
Schwagel said the arrangement
with G. w. would be only tenn
porary at best, as Georgetown
hoped to have its own fieldhouse
and to play all games on the CAM
pus within the next three or four
years. George Washington, with
no land on which to erect field
house, faced a different problem,
and one that the armory could
solve.
Schwagel said Georgetown def
nitely was through at Uline Arena
after this season. The Hoyas made
more profit on the Penn State game
at Catholic University than they
did in six games at Uline, except
ing the G. w. fray. If the armory
Is not ready he said Georgetown
probably would play double-headers
with c. U. The armory, he en-
phasized, strictly is gamble on
the idea that the country Is double
header conscious, and its use de-
pended entirely on the seating ca
|pacity.
Meanwhile, the Redskins have re-
ceived permission from Gen. Albert
IL. Cox, National Guard comman-
dant, to practice football in the
armory on bad days next autumn,
and President E. Joseph Aronoff
of the District AAU said his Or
ganization would ask for dates to
promote indoor championships and
to import outstanding stars.

Hogan 13Shots Behind
AS Demaret' S Great
81 Pleads in Texas
BY. the Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. g.
Jimmy Demaret's putter furnished
sweet music as the singing man of
the fairways set out today with q
two-stroke lead in the second round
OF the $4,000 Texas Open.
Smiling Jimmy. who shot Gum
der-par 81 in the first IS holes,
could almost feel the greenbacks of
the $4,000 first money as favorite
Ben Hogan trailed far away-13
strokes to be exact.
Demaret's amazing round over
rugged 6,400-yard Breckenridge Park
course yesterday duplicated the best
competitive 18-hole score ever turned
in here. A great putter and good
fortune showed the Texan who now
gives Ojai, Calf, as his home, into
a position to grab off his second
tournament triumph in a row.
The winner of last week ends
Tucson Open finished the first round
barely In front of mighty norther
that numbed the hands of the tardy
ones. The links melody man had
nine one-putt greens. On the other
hand Hogan, golf's leading money
winner, shot one of the worst rounds
of his career, finishing well out of
the leading 20 with 4-over-par rs.
Well within striking distance Of
even Demaret's mighty round were
Milon Marusic of Albany, N. Y,
and Vic Ghezzi of Knoxville, Tenn,
who wound up with GAS while Buck
White of Battle Greek, Mich, and
Bob Hamilton of Evansville, Ind,
each had a IS. Lew Worsham of
Washington, D. c.; Johnny Morgan
of Chicago and Toney Penna of
Cincinnati carded 66's.
In all. 80 players clipped par, but
most of those came in before the
cold wave settled on San Antonio.
There will be 18 more holes to-
day with 36 tomorrow for the low
60 and ties.
Demaret pulled an eagle and four
brides out of his blazing putter on
the first nine holes for a 6-under-
par and took three more off regu-
lation figures on the incoming nine.
Only on the 10th hole did Jimmie,s
putter falter. He missed a four
footer to 60 over par by a stroke.
