Strib|ing Wins Back
LOST Prestige With
Upset Of Lacey

In-again, out-again Ken Stribling
Is back in the good graces of local
tight fans. A 1o-round upset over
highly-touted Frank Lacey Of Balti-
more last night at Turner's Arena
rewon for him the support he
dropped while losing a previous
battle to Johnny Walker of Phila-
delphia. The local middleweight
was fast and sharp last night, hit
ting hard and taking everything
Lacey had to offer without backing
away.
Strib was on top all the way. He
staggered Lacey with hard right to
the body as early as the second
round, and had him in trouble fire.
quently. Lacey went all out in the
fifth, but failed to wilt Stribling
with a fast, two-handed attack.
After that it just was a question Of
whether the Baltimore boy would
last. He went the route, although
he was foored for a short count in
the seventh by a terrific right to
the head.
The entire card, which wound up
the 1947 season at Turner's, was a
good one, although weather kept the
crowd down to only 1862 paying GUS
toners. The gross gate was 81 ,671 81
and the net $1,237.20.
Three knockouts were on the pre-
liminary program. Lightweight
Jackie Ford stopped Lee Herand in
the fourth, Flyweight Johnny
Arduini chilled Joe Bell in the third
and Featherweight Jimmy Cooper
kayoed Lucky johnson in the fifth.
The customers didn't go for this last
one so much. For the first ~
rounds Cooper didn't even belong
in the same ring with johnson.
After that johnson apparently ran
out of gas and suddenly put up no
defenses as Cooper banged him
around at will before putting him
away in the fifth.
The District Boxing Commission
held an investigation on this fight
in the dressing room afterward, but
after talking with johnson and his
manager, Babe Ruth, appeared salts
fed that everything was on the up
and up.
In prelims going the limit, Joe

Coach Red Auerbach could send
into the game with a reasonable
assurance Of getting some points
up until last Saturdays game at
Providence. Then Mahnken, Nor
lander and Mckinney also found
the basket to help beat the Steam
rollers.
Mahnken threw in seven field
goals and two free points for 16
points, or four times the number
he's been averaging per game all
season. Mckinney registered eight
field goals, his high for the sea-
son, and two charity throws, for 10
points. Norlander's Is points made
his second-best mark, but his field
goal output Of seven baskets was his
best for the season.
The Caps can get up to the 500

third straight time tomorrow night.

A-AC Coaches Start
Drafting Lean Crop
0fConegians Today
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-America's
skimpiest crop of collegiate football
talent in many years goes on the
block today, when coaches of the
An-America Conference hold their
annual draft.
Both the A-AC and the older Ma
tional League have rules which
prohibit the drafting of collegians
until their class has been gradu-
ated. Thus the present draft
eligibles entered school in 1914, when
4-F athletes kept the game alive.
Practically sall the stars of the
recent college season were drafted
In previous meetings because their
own classroom careers were inter-
rupted by military services. Charles
Conerly. Mississippi pass master,
has been claimed by Brooklyn CT
the A-AC and Washington Of the
National.
Johnny Lujack, Notre Dame ALL
America star. was picked year ago
by the Chicago Rockets of the A-AC
and the Chicago Bears of the Ma
tional.
One coach, here for today's ses-
sion, estimated that there aren't
20 ball players in the entire United
States who are eligible for the draft
and who could help a professional
club"
Each club had its coaching repre-
sentative here yesterday when the
drawing was to have started. 1t was
delayed until today when the club
owners needed more time to clarity
the Chicago and Brooklyn situa-
tons. New owners had to be found
for the Rockets and the Dodgers
were given a clean bill of financial
health.
The Conference, at It's business
session yesterday, gave vote of
confidence to the Brooklyn Dodgers,
whose franchise had been reported
wobbling. Ingram said the present
ownership is satisfactory, but added
there would be no objection to
Branch Rickey's taking over the
club If the head man of the baseball
Dodgers so desired.
