NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-One de-
feat doesn't ruin a fighters career,
but when Jackie Crawford of Wash
ington dropped l0-round decision
to Gino Buonvino OF Italy last night
it spoiled a whole years buildup.
Jackie's chances of going further in
the heavyweight business don't ap-
pear bit good right now, and the
fight mob is looking around for
some other bright young man to tag
as the coming champion. Jackie
didn't disgrace himself last night,
but he didn't impress anybody
either, and there are other fighters
around who will be given the op-
pcrtunities he would have had If
he'd gone over big last night.
At 20, Crawford should be at his
peak, but he didn't live up to his ad-
vance notices. A crowd of 1921
which paid $64,836 turned out at
Madison Square Garden with the
intention of seeing Crawford. an
s-5 favorite, and hailed as the new
Gene Tunney." take step toward
the heavyweight title. What they
saw wasn't the new Gene Tunney at
all; they saw pretty much the same
kind of fighter Washington fans
saw in 1946 without getting too en-
thusiastic. He didn't appear to be
a fighter to earn reams Of praise
from the New York critics, recently
with seven straight victories, five by
knockouts. -..~
Bounvino Lacks Wallop.
Buonvino also doesn't appear to
be a good choice for heavyweight
honors. He's a swarmer who
catches nicely. But he's not the
fastest fighter around and he lacks
the punch so necessary for any one
hoping to rule the fight roost.
The dark, beefy Italian had a
17-pound weight advantage over
Crawford. who weighed in at 18o

A Washington goal that actually
was scored by the Hershey goalie
started the Lions to their most spec
tacular triumph of the season last
night, 81, over the Bears before a
slim crowd of 1875.
Trailing, 7-3, with less than 1c
minutes to go, the Lions took heart
when Gordie Henry attempted to
shove slowly rolling puck out Of
the way but accidentally DETECTED 1t
against teammate and it was a
goal for the Lions. Ken Schultz
climaxed the weird game by scoring
twice in the last minute.

Sh' SSHS
Central High Schools Vikings are
sitting atop the District public high
school standings, but they're not
alone, for comfortably beside them
with three wins in four champion
ship games is stranger-Roose-
velt.
The five-way tie for the lead was
broken yesterday. as all eight teams
saw action in twin double-head
at the Armory. Central kept its
grip on the top spot by knocking
off Coolidge, 47-34, in the finale
last night, while Roosevelt upset
Eastern, 41-35, in the second game.
Anacostia came up to the 500 mark
by dropping Western .<out of the
first-place tie, >49-39, in the opener,
while Tech won its first game with
1927 victory over Wilson.
Roosevelt, however, occupies the
center of the spotlight today For
| the Rough Riders, the floormats
in the last football season, were eX-
pected by most observers to oc-
cupy the role of pushovers in the
court season. And they started
out true to expectations, dropping
four of their first five contests.
But things are different now.
Roosevelt is riding on the crest
of six-game winning streak and
to Coach Herman Littman, this is
the way it should be.
Off to Wobbly Start.
1--WE were figured to be low in
the standings" Littman said yes
terday, "but I really figured my
boys to be just where they are.
Injuries held us back at first. War
rem Siegel was bothered with a
back injury, Joe Friedman was out
with a very bad ankle, Billy Paugil
was sidelined with a leg injury,
Billy Hibbs ineligible and Chris
Peratino out for the season with a
minor physical disability"
All but Peratino. who has taken
over the job as manager, are back
in the lineup and Littman is look
ing forward to place in the play
offs.
With Hibbs and Paugh showing
the way, the Riders came from be-
hind an early 60 deficit to clip
Bobby Hart's hot-and-cold Ram
blers John Brown played a ter
rifle game for Eastern, netting seven
field goals and one foul to take
scoring honors with Is points. Hibbs
got IL and Paugh 10 for Roosevelt.
Anacostia's Willy Warner still
leads the individual scoring parade
after throwing in Is points yester-
day, including 10 goals from the
floor. Warner Tailed the first two
goals to set the Anacostia machine
in motion and Western could do
nothing about it. Warmers total for
the season now is 70.
Pantos, SponsIer Star.
Jimmy Pantos and Hal Sponsler
paced Central's attack against Cool
idge, each netting IA points. The
Vikings got off to a good start,
holding the Colts to mere three
points in the first period while scor-
ing 10 themselves. The Colts rail-
lied, however, with Tom Boyle
showing the way and came within
two points of tying the count in the
third quarter. But Pantos and
Sponsler got hot hands in the final
to put the game on ice for Central
Wilson started off like a house on
fire and led Tech, 11-8, at the end
of the first period. But Clark Wick
ers and Henry Hauck sparked Tech
to it's first interhigh victory.
A crowd of 1924, the smallest of
the season, turned out. Attendance
was held down by graduation ex-
ercises in some of the schools and
cold weather.
