ORTIZ LOSES HIS CROWN
 70 x. DADE

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. liar cid Dade, relatively unknown 23- year-old 12- to underdog, pounded cut a unanimous 15-round decision last night to end little Manuel Ortiz five year reign as the Ma tional Boxing Associations World Bantamweight champion.
 Ortiz, putting his title on the block for the 18th time, took the lead in the early rounds, but Dade turned in a display of clever box ing that had the champion flound- ering vainly trying to land swing ing punches in the final rounds.
 There were no knockdowns, each fighter weighed 1l72i pounds.
 The California Mexican from Fl Centro yielded a crown that lie had defended against all corners since he wen it from Lou Salica in 1942.

WALCOTT MAY BE NEXT VICTIM TO
 MEET JOE LOUIS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. ' - A short, squat, aging slugger named Jersey Joe Walcott was the most likely candidate today to become the next bit of fodder for heavy weight champion Joe Lewis can ncns-the same Louis for whom Walcott served as sparring partner more than 10 years ago.
 The Camden, N J., Negro who admits to 32 years but probably is closer to 40, earned the dubious hcncr of a possible spring bout with Louis by winning dull 1o-round decision last night over Joe Maxim cf Cleveland, o. The 24-year-old Maxim had beaten Walcott in an unpopular decision last summer.
 A crowd of 9,9S0 who paid S33.- 7725O to witness the Convention Hall heavyweight scrap, alternate ly booed and cheered, depending on whether Maxim was willing or un- wiling to fight it out with Wal cott.

 SPORT QUESTIONS

NEW YORK, Jan. 7-The 252 member colleges of the National Collegiate Athletic Association are going to be asked whether they are ready to apply sanctions" against schools which provide, among other things, room and board fer star athletes.
 The threat of schedule boycott would be the means of enforcing the basic code of amateurism in athletics. according to recommends tions drawn up by the NCAA's conference of conferences here yesterday.
 The group, representing virtually every college conference and a numher of so-called independent sehcols, recommends a set of five principles which it proposes to im- plcment with an agreement that the schools which adhere to them will not play the non-ccnformist schools,
 This hot point will te handed over to the regular NCAA con- vention tomorrow and is certain to provoke a battle Of words.
 The principle of amateurism not cnly reAffirms the standard Anna teur Athletic Union and Olympic definition of an amateur, but adds that any college athlete who takes pay for participation in athletics does not meet this definition of an amateur
 Under this principle, room and toard usually supplied to scholar ship athletes is outlawed unless an athlete actually works for it.
