dismissed the case. The defen-

Virginias Commission of Game

all these facts. We sincerely hope
thorough investigation Of this

Quoted and the club members, pat

We give you the foregoing, which
we grant may be an extreme case,
to point moral and adorn tale
We sincerely hope it is no criterion
of what will happen to others dur
ing the general hunting season.
General rainfall in Maryland and
Virginia on the opening day of the
hunting season put crimp in the
efforts of those who went quail and
rabbit hunting and the few reports
we have had are far from encourag-
ing. However, results last Saturday
must not be considered a criterion
of what we may expect during the
balance of, the season. Duck hunters

after upland game.
Virginia's hunting season will be
in full swing, except for wild water
fowl, with the opening of areas
east of the Blue Ridge on Thurs
day. The States duck hunting
season opens at noon on December 8.
Game officials generally are con-
cerned over the supply of ringneck
pheasants throughout the United
States, which due to intensified
farming practices, moving season
losses, predators and adverse
weather conditions during the
breeding season, is in a more criti-
cal condition than it has been for
some years. Hunters are entreated
not to shoot the hens, many of
which fall victims to quick-trigger

such teams as the defending cham

season prophecy, the Associated
Press observes.
Baltimore, the only new entry in

the lead in the Western Division.
The Bullets have done okay with
two victories in three starts. but the

They have dropped two games while
winning one and rest in third place
behind the Chicago Stays. The st.
Louis Bombers, winless in two starts,

In the East, the Warriors lead the
parade with three victories in as

adelphians are being paced by their
scoring sensation, Joe Fulks. The
tall forward has racked up 70 points

per game. That, incidentally, Is
better than he did last year when he
hung up a new season record for

thing that was glaringly lacking last

cials are using the practice games
to get in shape and from the reac-
ton of the players on the bench
you'd think it was the final of the
National Invitation tournament.
The Caps were the last of the four
teams to get into the swing. But
after Bob Feerick received broken
nose in a session at Georgetown
and a Caps-G. w. scrimmage was
halted after Len Small of the Co
lonials and Johnny Norlander
started tossing punches, Coach Red
Auerbach told his squad to dish 1t
out little.
THE pros play cleaner basket ball
than colleges" Auerbach was saying
1--WE have better officials, who are
more strict, and thus we can't get
by with lot of that rough stuff
the kids use in college ball. But the
local college boys have the old idea
that pro basket ball is rough, so
they've been mixing it up"
Auerbach said his only objection
to the scrimmages is that somebody
always is keeping score, which be-
comes exaggerated by word of mouth
and that leads to whispering cam
paign that one of the local colleges
beat the Caps. II don't think they'd
beat us with $1,000 up Red added.
Keeps Pros in Shape.
1--WE use the scrimmages princi-
pally to get in shape" Auerbach
said, but most of the college kids
have lot of pep and vinegar and
they start climbing backs and run

tell the money ball players, how

club and the colleges. They just
take it easy out there, but you can
count on EN- in game"

insists that the informal games be

The Baltimore Bullets and Loyola

all it's facilities to the Boston Celtics
if they would drop over for a few
practice games. Both Navy and
Maryland, which started basket ball

OKLA Motta Fight
Probed in New York;
Purses Held Up
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-For the
second time within year the New
York County grand jury, under the
direction of the district attorneys
Office, stepped in to investigate the
city's boxing situation today.
The inquiry will be into last Fri
day nights Madison Square Gar
den fight, in which Billy Fox of
Philadelphia was awarded a TKO
over Jake La Motta of New York
in the fourth round of scheduled
Hereunder.
Coincident with the announce
ment by District Attorney Frank S.
Hogan yesterday, Col. Eddie Eagan,
chairman of the State Athletic
(Boxing) Commission, said he had
ordered Sol Strauss, promoter of
the Twentieth Century Sporting
Club, to withhold the purses of Fox
and La Motta pending an inde-
pendent investigation by the COM
mission. They were to have been
paid $23,91022 each from the gross
receipts of the $120,528 from 18,340
fans.
Specifically, the two separate in
vestigations are the result Of ad-
verse newspaper criticism.
Hogan said the Rackets Bureau of
his Office, which had been 1nquiring
into boxing and undercover man.
ayers earlier this year, would do the
investigating and that any evidence
developed would be turned over to
the same grand jury which heard
witnesses in the alleged 100000
bribe offered Middleweight Cham
pion Rocky Graziano early this year.
Graziano was suspended in New
York before he won the title from
Tony Zale in Chicago.
Eagan, who Immediately after the
fight said he thought both fighters
gave sincere efforts, issued a state
ment saying "at present there is no
local evidence that the contest was
not honestly fought by both boxers
to the best of their ability. The
commission will investigate the cir
cumstances and make its determi-
nation after such an investigation. /"
Press criticism of the fight CEN
tered chiefly around La Motta's
inept performance and rumors that
followed the lightning turnover of
the betting odds the day of the fight.

wing isn't something we cooked up
just for North Carolina, although
we did use it for the first time. The
T isn't. the best passing formation
in the world, especially when you're
behind and the other club knows
you're going to throw.
We've tried several systems all
season and finally settled on that
double wing for occasional use as
the situation demanded. We were
ready to spring it on Duquesne, for
example, but we didn't need it."
The Terrapins came out of Satur-
days losing battle in the mud in
good shape and unless some one is
hurt in practice this week will be
at full strength for the trip to
Nashville.
The Terps likely will be underdogs
to the Commodores. Vanderbilt

pattern. North Carolina used it all
