Big Tracks Would Ban
Night Racing; Bark|ey
Compliments Sport
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The Ma
ions major race tracks are op-
POSED to night racing and they
re going to see that the country
snoWS why.
One of the first moves of the
projected National Policy Commit
zee of the Thoroughbred Racing
Associations is to emphasize the
TRA's opposition. to arc-light
programs.
The IRA, composed of 35 major
race tracks, closed its annual meet
ing in New York last night after
going on record as opposed to night
racing. The group says it would
lead to excessive betting by people
least able to afford it.
It was recommended that a
National Policy Committee be set
up to act as a sort of national
spokesman for horse racing.
On night racing. the committee
would make an analysis of attend
ance and betting in States having
both thoroughbred and harness
racing and submit the findings to
State authorities throughout the
country.
The committee would be COM
posed of not more than three per-
sons, each representing a IRA
track.
IRA members would then refer
questions of national policy to this
committee rather than have a
mixed chorus.
Vice President Alben w. Bark
ley interrupted his honeymoon
to address the race track officials
last night at the annual dinner
at the Hotel Plaza.
He said more progress has been
made in standar dizing the con-
duct of the sport in the last 80
years than in the entire history
of the country.
Thirty years ago, six States
had racing; 10 years ago 20 States
had racing, and now Is have 1t"
he said. THE Is States would not
have racing unless they thought
the people wanted it."
The white-haired Kentuckian
told the gathering that the rev.
enue total from the sport is
enough to operate the govern
ments of six States or pay the
deficits of Is States.
That's real progress" he added.
Earl j. Meyer of Madison, Nebr.,
president of the National Associa-
ton of State Racing Commission
ers. urged the extension of terms
of racing commissioners to min
imum of six years.
He said frequently men of high
caliber were appointed, but they
didn't have sufficient knowledge
of racing.

La Starza, Brion Fight
For Shot at Charles
Heavyweight Title
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 2-Roland
La Sara. unbeaten glamor boy
of the young heavyweight crop.
bids for international recognition
tonight in a 10-round Madison
Square Garden bout with Argen-
tina's Cesar Brion,
This is the big fight in the
careers of both these 22-year-old
hopefuls whose eyes are trained
on the gold and glory of the
heavyweight championship. A de-
cisive knockout win could earn a
June title date with Ezzard
Charles for either boy.
Even more intriguing than a
Charles bout is the possibility that
an impressive victory might lure
Joe Louis out of retirement next
summer. An outstanding young
contender against the Brown
Bomber would be sure-fire mill
lion dollar gate.
Before worrying about Charles
or Louis, both of tonight's slug
gers must deal with the business
at hand. 1t shapes up as tough
match with La Starza deservedly
a 5-to-8 favorite.
Under the careful handling Of
Manger Jimmy (Fat,0 De Angelo.
La Starza, a former City College
of New York lad, has been moved
slowly up the ladder.
While La Starza was bowling
over II of SO victims by knockouts,
little attention was paid to Brion
who is billed as the greatest South
American slugger since Luis Firpo.
He was little known until he
knocked out Bernie Reynolds in a
major upset on the Charles-Gus
.Lesnevich card last summer. Since
then Brion, a rangy young fellow
with baby face, has f1attened
Tami Mauriello and Jimmy Walls.
He has won %, lost two and
knocked out Is opponents.
Physically, the edge is all with
Brion. He is inches taller than
La Starza and he has a 4-inch
edge in reach. The 6-foot 2l2 Inch
Brion will weigh about 1872 to La
StarZa's 1877.

In Big Surprises as
Court Season Open,
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The col
lege basket ball season ofticiall
opened last night and right o.
the bat two major upsets Wen,
into the books.
The University of San Fran
cisco, national invitational tour
ney champion and regarded as
one of the top teams in the coun-
try this season, took 1888 jolt
from San Jose (Calif) State,
while Vanderbilt, 13-point un-
derdog, whipped New York u,
$3.50, in overtime at Madison
Square Garden.
The Vandy-N. Y. U. struggle
was the feature of the seasons
first double-header at the Gar
den, an event usually considered
as marking the official opening of
a new cage campaign. In the first
game Long Island nicked the
Texas Aggies of the Southwest
Conference, 66-52.
A crowd of 12,755, a small turn
out compared to previous opening
nights, saw Vandy turn what
looked to be defeat into victory.
The Southeastern Conference
quintet trailed by 57-55 with only
Is seconds left. A one-hander by
Jack Heldman forced the game
overtime. Then three baskets by
Dave Kardokus. all within the last
. Is seconds of the extra period,
shattered a $3.50 tie and won for
the Commodores from Nashville.
San Francisco held a 22-14
halftime edge over San Jose. but
then the Spartans reeled off Is
points in a row. Thereafter the
Dons never got close.
Several other major quintets
saw action. Iowa and North
western, of the Big Ten. beat
Colorado College, 1854. and
Western Michigan. Sab. respec-
lively. It was Iowa's 41st straight
non-conference win on its home
floor.
North Carolina. Of the South

57-39, and Dartmouth, Of the
Eastern League. dumped st. An

imous vote is required. it seemed
possible to get 1t. ,s,-5...-.5 .
Marshall, meanwhile. insisted
that Baltimore would have to pay
him for the territorial rights in
volved in Colt switch in affilia-
tions. Whether the league would
demand the customary $4,000
franchise fee is conjectural. but
If so that would be in addition
to the territorial money. Each Ma
tional League club is protected
from encroachment by a 75-mile
limit, excepting Green Bay, whose
rights include the whole Of Mil
waukee County.
There was another fly in the
ointment. Marshall reminded the
, Colt management that should the
NFL react favorably to a Balti-
more bid he already was COM
lnitted to another group of Monu-
mental City sportsmen who re-
ceived his promise of help in To-
eating a franchise there 10 years
ago. This evidently means that
it is possible that second group
might try to establish a National
League team in Baltimore in oppo-
Sition to the Colts.
*,4ThiS team, too, would have to
pay for the territorial rights just
as Ted Collins had to cough up
some dough for Mara in New York.
General Manager Dick McCann
explained that this was primarily
because Of radio and television
contracts which the Redskins
might be deprived Of by such a
move.
s"Mr. Marshall would not make
Unreasonable demands, however,
McCann added. "He wouldn't try
to strangle any project at the
start because he realizes that for
a league to succeed and flourish
all members must succeed. You
can't have one financially success
full club and nine that don't make
money and have a sound league"
Marshall said Driskill told him
he DriskilD was misquoted in re-
cent newspaper articles concern
ing the Colt -Redskin squabble.
Mccormick told Marshall he
lMarshalD had been rude to him
at a previous meeting when the
Redskin boss told the Balti-
morean to "go sell his pepper
and SPICE" Marshall, however
denied making such a remark.
He insisted he told Mccormick
that operating a pro football team
was a fulltime job and that Nc
Cormick couldn't sell pepper and
spice and run a football team,
too, and that JEFF Miller (another
Baltimore stockholder) couldn't
sell shirts and collars and also
run the team.
.S"I know" Marshall concluded
because I used to launder those
shirts and collars and I had te
,eive IL I'M"

BY the Associotsd Press

NEWARK. DEL, Dec. D.
Football is not being over
emphasized in American col
leges In the opinion of President
Ralph G. Hutchison of Lafayette
College.
There has been instead an
under-emphasis on the part Of
college authorities in failing to
recognize the real place of inter-
collegiate athletics in the educa-
tional picture" DR.. Hutchison
said.
The Lafayette College head
made his statement yesterday
before delegates from 35 col
leges attending the annual
meeting Of the Middle Atlantic
States Collegiate Athletic Con-
ference at the University Of
Delaware.
"Our big mistake" he said.
"has been to assume that in
tercollegiate athletics are essen
TALLY a phase Of physical edu-
cation"
DR.. Hutchison called inter-
collegiate athletics the banner
which the college filings out to
the world and about which it
rallies all its spirit and loyalties.
William D. Murray, president
of the conference and Delaware
athletic director and football
coach. labeled the platoon sys-
tenn of football as "a device to
be utilized by the college that
has great financial resources. I"
II don't believe the small coll
lege played any part in the
adoption of the rule permitting
platoon football" he said.
