Weekly Boxing Show
In TeIevision Studio
UnderConsiderution

A New ork builder of radio and
television programs is proposing a
Champion of the Week" boxing
show for television that may have
interesting possibilities, according
to Heinle Miller. chairman of the
District Boxing Commsson, who
has been consulted on the propo-
sition.
The idea is to put on a weekly
studio show that will include five
rounds of boxing. A good heavy
weight boxer would be chosen as
Champion of the Week" to start
the show and qualified challengers
would be matched against him.
The champion" would receive
81 900 and the challenger $500 for
the show.
The champion" would remain
champion and receive the $1,000
fee until beaten. The man who
beats him then would become the
champion" who would receive
the 81 900 weekly fee until he in
turn is unseated.
Miller, who was consulted as a
boxing expert and not in his ca
pacity as head of the District
Commission, gave his backing to
the idea and suggested that the
first show be held in Washington.
It would be studio show with
only invited guests of the spon-
| sorS on hand.

Ex-Pitching Castoffs,
Hearn andNag|ie, Win
National Loop Honors
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Two
fugitives from the bullpen-Jim
Hearn and Sal Maglie, both of
the New York Giants-turned out
to be the most effective pitchers
in the National League last season.
Official averages, out today,
showed that Hearn, a st. Louis
Cardinal CASTOR. led with an
earned run average of 2.49.
His teammate Maglie, who wore
his trousers thin on the bullpen
bench for half the campaign,
produced the circuits highest
winning percentage with 18 vic
tories and four defeats for .818.
Between them they were 1-2 in
both the important phases of
pitching excellence-earned run
average and winning percentage.
Maglie was second to Hearn in
E. R. A. with 2.71. Hearn followed
Maglie in the percentage list with
11-4 for .733.
Hearn, towering Highlander
from Atlanta, Ga, spent the early,
months of the campaign doing odd
little pitching chores for the Car
dinals. in mid-season the Cards
shuff1ed him off to the Giants for
the waiver price of $4,000.
This proved one of the monu-
mental blunders of modern base
ball. The 28-year-old Georgian
teamed with Maglie and the rest
of the Giants crack mound corps
to lift the New Workers from deep
in the second division into a
late-seaSon pennant contender.
The Giants finished third.

The rangy Hawkeyes opened the
season as prime favorites in the
Western Conference, and some
Iowans boldly predicted they
would win the NCAA title, the
World Series of basketball.
First little De Pauw gave Iowa
a struggle in the opener before
bowing; then two middle sized
powers, Western Michigan and
Butler, upset the Hawkeyes and
away went most of that pre- season
buildup.
Last night the Hawkeyes won

Handlan has scored Is points
against Wake Forest, q against
Duke and % against Maryland. He
averaged 20.3 points per game last
year. and in seven games to date
is topping 81 points per game by
a fraction. In fact, he has scored
between Is and 80 points in all
games but the one against Enka
Mills, in which he was used SPAR
ingly.
Handlan is not shot-happy. His
best shot follows a quick cut under
the basket, although he missed
four of those in a row against the
Terps. He is a quiet, handsome
21-year-old and did not appear to
say one word in the entire game.
He is capable on defense and works
well off the boards.
Jim Johnson of Maryland did a
good job of holding Handlan in
check before the Terp fouled out.
Handlan drew 16 foul shots for
the night and made IA, which is
nothing new. Last year against
Virginia he made 18 straight for
National collegiate record.
Except for Handlan and Lee
Brawley, last nights game wasn't
much of a contest. Washington
and Lee made only Is points that
Handlan didn't score and BraWley
made 19 of the Terps' 50, includ-
ing 9 out Of 10 foul shots.
After having played Friday and
Saturday nights and with CIV
coming up tonight, Washington
and Lee was well satisfied to see
Maryland use the deliberate, slow
offense taught by Coach Bud Mil
likan.
Generals Take Early Lead.
The Generals led, 10-7, at the
10-minute mark and it was 1915
at half time for the Terps. Wash
ington and Lee scored only three
field goals in a 17-minute stretch,
partly because of a lack of effec-
tiveness and partly because of
Maryland's tight defense. For the
Generals, it was a case of not
being up to playing the other fell
lows game.
Neither team substituted in the
first half, but both used everybody
before it was over, with Maryland
owning a safe lead throughout the
second half. The victory was the
third in a row for the Terps and
their second straight without a
