are on the map now. The eyes of
the world have finally been focused
directly on the outstanding quality
we have to offer here.'-H. B. Sager,
auctioneer of the sale, enroute to
Billings after the sale.
II can assure you, who are breed
ers of Hereford cattle in this Tri-
State area, that you do have a quail
ity of cattle comparable to any cat
tie in the entire nation, cattle that
will stand up in competition against
the best shown at the recent Kan

Swing From Heavies
Numerous reports that cattle are
not going into the feedlot in the
midwest as usual. Other reports that
corn and other feed crops will GO
down fast. This substantiated by
reports that hay in Gallatin valley
can be purchased in quantity at $40.
Market operators and buyers tell
me that the swing FROM heavies has
definitely taken place. Regardless
of feeder condition, packers are TAX
ing all the two's and three's. The
days of baby beef and LOCO fed
yearlings are back.
Purebred Sales
The purebred sale season now
well enough along to show definite
trends, and as they look from this
desk-stil not enough good bulls
to supply demand, poor bulls land
of course heifers also) are becoming
harder and harder to sell at any
price. The price on the high quality
range bulls and herd bulls has in
creased, rather than decreased, as
was thought likely at the beginning
of the season. Sales are slower,
however, mainly through pressure
to hold up price levels on lower
quality animals. The buyer, and
especially the good commercial cat
tie man, is willing and able to buy
what he thinks will add quality to
his herd. He most certainly is turn
ing thumbs down in no uncertain
manner, on what he doesn't want
These buyers run this bandwagon
The quicker we get on and ride with
them the better the industry will get
along.

ture game starts at 8:15, but those

South Carolina night before last,
but it was G. w. that couldn't get
up to get the ball of the backboards
in the second half. Forty-three
fouls we're called, % against G. w.
with Adler and Moffatt both draw
ing S. Late in the game G. w.
missed four foul shots in the last
two minutes.
Maryland, which all season has
depended upon Bill Brown and John
Edwards for most of its success, was
severely handicapped against David
son by the loss of both on personal
fouls. Edwards went out four min
utes after the start of the second
half, after having been rested sew
eral minutes in the first half be-
cause he had three fouls. Brown
ended his court career less than
three minutes from the end when
Davidson led only 52-49.
Davidson Rally Tells.
Maryland was in the game until
Davidson took complete command
of the last three minutes. The game
was marked by the freak shot OF the
season. Bernie Smith shot from
way out for the Terps and the ball
hit and started spinning ~madly
around the rims
The ball slowed up. appeared to
be ready to fall, when somehow 1t
regained traction and spun around
again. This happened four times,
with the crowds roar increasing
with each turn. Finally, to the
complete amazement of every one
present, the ball seemingly jumped
out Of the basket and fell to the
court.

tween Davidson and Duke at 7:3(
and North Carolina and N. C. State
at 8 o'clock, but it's sad to say that
George Washington and Maryland
will not.
1t is particularly painful to relate
that G. w. will not be present be-
cause If ever a team was on the run
it was Duke last night when the
Colonials ran up a 10-1 lead in the
first three minutes and held an 1871
advantage at 10 minutes.
But the winning combination on
the floor was not satisfactory to
Coach Art Zahn and he started
substituting. The Colonials sud-
denly lost their drive and Duke had
whitfield the 11-point advantage to
before Zahn could reinsert his
starters. The game see-sawed from
that point until Duke took a 1892
lead in the second half and the Blue
Devils were never headed from that
point as they went on to win, 54-51.
n. C. Teams Supreme.
Earlier. the first all-North Car
olina final in Conference history
had been assured df Duke won as
home State teams knocked off in
vaders, one by one, before capacity
crowds of 5000 in the Duke Field
House. The University of North
Carolina started the parade against
v. P. l.. winning 61-40.
Davidson turned its ALL Confer
ence center, George Cheek, loose on
Maryland and the Wildcats won,
58-51, as Cheek tossed In 10. Then
N. G. State, with its southernmost
product, Dick Dickey of Alexandria,
Ind, as its star player, buried Will
liam and Mary, 1882, after being
held to a 22-17 count at halftime.
But of all the losing teams, it was
George Washington that really
missed the boat. The Colonials hit
a 75-point pace for the first 10
minutes as Art Cerra tossed In three
straight swish shots and Johnny
Moffat. Ray Adler. Phil McNiff and
Haithcock contributed in
points, rebounds and ball handling.

by some uncanny shooting
by Tommy Hughes and Ceep You-
mans. G. w. was using the old .'Iet
'em shoot from out there, they can't
hurt us" theory, but somehow the
shots were hitting with regularity.

Fox onight Gets Second Shot
AT LesneVich's Fistic Crown

A decision over Anton Christie
foridis earned NBA recognition and
a victory over Tami Mauriello set
tied all arguments in other States
He beat Mauriello again in 1941
before he went into service.
. Heavyweights His Bane.
Two ventures with the heavy
weights resulted in disaster for
Gus, who was stopped by both Lee
Oma and Bruce Woodcock. But
among the 175-pounders, he stopped
Freddy Mills in London and bat
tered Fox.
In addition to Fox, Ibis 1947 starts
included a kayo win over Melio
Bettina in SO seconds, and a de-
cision and kayo over Mauriello.
This will be the big money fight
of the new season. About $4,000
people and $125,000 are expected by
Madison Square Garden officials,
who are keyed to handle both. The
best seat in the house sells for $40.
Lesnevich may never appear as a
light heavy after tonight. He had
trouble making the weight this time
as he balloons up to 200 pounds
between fights.
The bout will be broadcast locally
by WMAL, an Evening Star station,
starting at 10 pm.

NEW YORK, Mar. 4.-Billy Fox,
knockout winner in so of 81 fights,
gets his second shot at Gus
Lesnevich's light heavyweight crown
tonight over the routine 10-round
distance. The durable 175-pound
king from Cliffside Park, N. j., is
a 5-to-8 early favorite.
Philadelphia Billy proudly took a
ready-made record of 43 straight
kayo wins into his first joust with
Gus, February %, 1947. Instead of
adding No. a he was f1attened in
the 10th round.
Youth VS.. Age Again.
They say things may be different
this time. Their argument hinges
on ages, for Fox at %, has at least a
10-year advantage in that respect
over the veteran Lesnevich. Cagy
Gus is 80 according to Manager Joe
Vella or SO according to the books.
Take your pick.
Inexperience was costly to Fox in
their first fight. He tagged Lesne-
vich with a right hand in the third
that wobbled the champions legs.
Unable to follow up this advantage,
the Philadelphia Negro wilted under
heavy fire. Gus simply was too wise
for him.
Fox has had seven fights-all
knockout wins-since, against fell
lows like George Kochan, Tony
Gillo, Billy Cooper and Artie Levine.
Then, of course, there is his kayo
win over Jake La Motta, who never
had been knocked off his feet. La
Motta failed to fight his customary
busy battle and was stopped in the
fourth.
Investigations failed to uncover
any evidence of fraud so both boys
we're paid off after the commission
held up the purses for a month.
Recently the Athletic Commission
fined La Motta 81 900 and continued
his indefinite suspension until June
for failing to report an injury be-
fore the fight. ..
And what has Lesnevich been
doing since he snapped Fox's
streak? He's had three scraps, win
ming two by knockouts.
Lesnevich has a remarkable rec
ord. He suddenly became punch
er on his return from the Coast
Guard, stopping five Of eight. 1t
was back in 1941 that Gus won
his title and nobody has been able
to take it away. He was acclaimed
last years fighter of the year"
