Ike Williams Ordered

His Fears Of Fix
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7.-Light-
weight Champion Ike Williams
will have some explaining to do
when he appears before the Penn
sylvania Athletic Commission to-
day.
The 135-pound king from Tren-
ton, N. j., has been summoned to
give an official account of his
fears of a "f1x" in Monday nights
title fight against Freddy Dawson.
Before outpointing Dawson in
the fifth defense of his crown,
Williams told newspapermen a

would lose the title II 1t went Is
rounds.
At that time Williams refused
to give the source of his informa-
ton. After the fight he said 1t

The commission wants more de-
tails.
We're going to ask him to ex-
plain the statement he made to

George Jones Of Williamsport, Pa.

trust our officials, we want to
know what they are.

Judges Frank Knaresborough

the fight eight rounds to seven.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-An en-
thusiastic Washington and Lee
sub who made an Illegal tackle
that wasn't detected for two days
furnished the football oddity Of
the l94e college football season.
Here's what sports writer's and
broadcasters voted the most un-
usual incident of a rather Screwy
season:
Washington and Lee Tackle Bob
Smith, who had sat on the bench,
was walking to the showers in the
anal seconds Of the Virginia game.
End Ed Bessell of Virginia
caught a pass and was running
across. Smith raced in to drop
him inches short of the goal.
He explained, Il just had a
hunch a Virginia player might
score on the last play of the game
and when Bessell came by me, I
couldn't resist tackling him"
But Smiths good work went
for nothing. Bessell fumbled over
the goal line and a Virginian re-
covered for q score. Virginia
won. 27-7.
The subs weird play came to
light when movies Of the game
were shown the next Monday.
Another favorite in the year.
end Associated Press poll was the
Tennessee gentleman in a haze
who wandered onto the playing
field from the stands.
The Southerner joined the
mounting number of unauthorized

A "phony" substitute for crea-

the lawmakers who voted against
the FEPC measure betrayed their
own promises made prior to the
last election.
Some hope was still held out for
the measure, however. If, as ex-
pected, the House rejects the
Senate substitute, the issue will
then go to a conference of both
chambers, out Of which "a decent

Boasting about this part of the

Also, the Whitaker blueprint

Farmers groups, civic associations,

veterans organizations are to be
prodded into adopting resolutions
opposing health insurance.
On top of that, every county

Giant kennecott
Cooper Corp. Is
Defying Govt

Salt Lake City, Utah (LPA)-
When a union turns down an award
of a fact-fnding board, newspap-
ers raise the roof, but when an en-
ployer thumbs his nose at such a
board, it's "no news"
The press has hardly mentioned
the fact that the Kennecott Cop

board to go hang.
Kennecott did so because the

men.
Last fall, the Brotherhood stag
ed 103-day strike of its members
on the big private railroad which
operates in and out of the com
pany's huge open ore pits at Bing-
ham Canyon near here.
At issue was the Brotherhood's
demand for "equal pay for equal
work" That is, it wanted the same
pay rates for men on the mine
railroad as are received by opera
tors on another unit of the Kenne-
colt railroad system, to which cop
per ore is relayed for shipment to
smelters.
The Brotherhood suspended the
strike after the company finally
agreed to submit the dispute to a
three-man fact-fnding board nam
ed by the US Mediation & Concili-
alton Service.
That board came down with its
recommendations last week, sus-
tanning the Brotherhood almost in
full. 1t proposed a pay increase of
S2.7l a day to equalize the rates
on the two sections of the railroad.
Promptly, the company rejected
