night at the Armory, with the win
ner of the Central Roosevelt clash

The champ from Trenton, N. j.,
time and again picked off Gavi-

5-pound weight pull.
With seconds to go in the eighth
Williams Landed a crushing right
cross to the jaw that dropped the
Cuban. The bell rang at the count
of eight, but Gavilan easily arose.
Gavilan fought a daring, game
battle with his eye mere slit from
the sixth round on.
Some thought he deserved a slim
edge. The AP card showed it even
in rounds with Williams out front
on points. Goldstein and Judge
Jim Hagen had it 5-4 for Williams
with one even. Judge Jack O'Sul-

NEW YORK, Feb 2S.-Five in
dividual champions of 1947 will be
on hand to defend their titles to-
night in the 27th annual IC4A
indoor track and field meet at
Madison Square Garden.
Three of them are favored to
repeat. They are Joe Cianciabella
of Manhattan in the 60-yard dash,
Gerry Karver of Penn State in the
mile and Herb Douglas of Pitts
burgh in the broad jump.
The other two, High Jumper Irv
Mondschein and Hurdler Warren
Halliburton, both of New York u,
will have to do some fancy stepping
to hold on to their crowns.
Mondschein will be up against
Bill Vessie of Columbia and Dick
Phillips of Brown, both of whom
have beaten him consistently this
winter and have cleared 6-8 and 81,
respectively.
Mondschein'S best mark this sea-
son has been 6-6, although the
national decathlon champ set the
IC4A record last year at feet 7A
inches.
Looks Tough for Champs.
Halliburton has had only one
hurdle race since January because
of foot infection. His chances of
scoring any points in the 60-yard
high hurdles are doubtful.
Unless Mondschein and Hallibur-
ton come through, N. Y. U. also will
be hard pressed to defend the team
title it has won five times in the
past.
sThe teams in the record field of
~ colleges with the apparent man
power to upset the Violets are Army,
Manhattan, Yale, Penn State and
Seton Hall.
