An expected knockout failed to

James of the Pacific Command
Clayton had taken three fights in
this tournament by knockout, but
couldn't put James away although
he did earn the decision without
difficulty. Clayton softened up
James with hooks through the
first round and f1oored him with
a right smash above the heart in

Close Defense
To Settle Issue
picture on Page BIZ

Central repeated as District
public high basket ball champion
yesterday, putting on a rally early
in the fourth period to overcome
Wilson, 36-33, before a bowling
crowd of 1924 at the Armory. The
triumph avenged an earlier 1929
Wilson victory this season and also
balanced the 1912 championship
game in which Wilson won its only
court title by defeating Central.
| Jimmy Pantos, Central's bril-
liant guard who practically was
stopped with only points in that
first game, also had his revenge
yesterday Despite excellent de-
fensive work from Wilson's George
Pappafotis, the Central ace was
able to get away frequently
enough to account for II points,
nearly half the Vikings total.
Another factor in the game was
that Wilson's two-team system
backflred for the first time this
year. Coach Hank Bristor sent
in his pony" quint of small but
fast ball handlers late in the third
period. The Tigers had a 1922
lead at that point and he wanted
to rest his regulars. When the
ponies were yanked halfway
through the final Central was in
front 1928, and Wilson never got
even thereafter.
Lead Switches Seven Times.
1t was a close game throughout,
however, with the score tied four
times and the lead changing hands
seven.
Wilson started strongly enough,
taking over lead midway through
the first period on pair of goals
by PappafotiS. That edge held
until we'll into the second period
when the Vikings drew into tie
on foul shot by Franny Gleason
and went ahead on a pot shot by
Terry Gregory. The score was tied
twice thereafter before the half
and at one point the Tigers had a
1915 edge, but Stringer and Pan
tos were able to give Central a
1915 intermission lead.
The third period was. Wilson's
pest and Central's worst. The vi
kings we're limited to three foul
goals while pair of floor goals
each by Jim Young and Sherry
Jones were giving the Tigers 26-
% lead. That's when Wilson's
pony team came in.
Loss of SperOs Hits Tigers.
1t was the signal for a Central
surge. Pantos dupked in a pivot
shot and Stringer counted with a
pair of charity marks to tie the
score at 1926 early in the fourth.
They were deadlocked again at 28-
% before Stringer with another
free one sent Central ahead to
stay. Hurting Wilson in the late
going was the absence of Leo
Speros. generally the best Tiger
scorer, who fouled out with 3:l5
to go.
Fouls made a lot of difference.
The Vikings we're outscored from
the floor. 14-11, but made up for
it with II fouls out of % shots,
while Wilson made points on IA

While the committee worked

veterans legislation was passed
UP. In the few weeks remaining
II Congress adjourns as scheduled
lend Of july. the committee viii
spend its time on several signifl-
cant bills. This and q later COL
umn will tell about them.
! Last August veterans with so
per cent or more disability ratings
started getting extra amounts Of
compensation for certain depend
ents wife, minor children and
dependent mother and father.
| Never before had disability
compensation been hitched to a
veterans dependency status. II q
single veteran was 60 per cent dis
abled, or 100 per cent disabled
(or whatever). he got exactly the
same monthly compensation check
as his next-door buddy with the
same disability and 10 kids.
The last Congress started extra
compensation for dependents. It
established these monthly rates
for 100 per cent disabled veterans:
Wife but no child s2I. Wife
and one child $35. Wife and two
children $3.50. Wife and three
or more children $50.
No wife and one child sl4. No
wife and two children s24.50. No
wife and three or more children
$35.
For each. dependent parent the
extra amount is $l7.50 q month.
Those rates are only for the
ex-servicer who is 100 per cent
disabled. Any one 60 per cent dis
abled will get so per cent Of those
amounts. Any one 10 per cent
disabled will get 10 per cent and
80 on.
The bill on which the House
Veterans Committee is holding
hearings removes the so per cent
limitation and enables any vet
eran who has any disability rated
at 10 per cent or more TO draw
extra amounts for his dependents.
The amount Of compensation
he'd get would depend on the per-

What chance has this bill 70

thing. though. II Is not any pet

VA report on the bill makes that
clear. That report points out
that giving seriously disabled
veterans more than so Per cent
extra amounts for dependents is

ously disabled veteran must put

That is the reason-that and
