Ezzard Charles
Beats joey Maxim

SAN FRANCISCO = Ex-heavy-
weight champion Ezzard Charles
Wednesday night won his fifth
straight decision over Lightweight
King Joey Maxim in a dull p
round bout at the San Francisco
Cow Palace.
A disappointing crowd of 1900
fans saw the fight between two
boxers who depended on speed and
finesse rather than punching abil-
ity. Almost the entire bouth was
fought in clinches OF from close
range.
Charles, who defeated the same
Maxim four times previously, won
the vote of both judges and the
referee only because of his ag-
gressiveness and his ability to do
damage during the infighting.
The crowd, which was solidly for
the 81 underdog Maxim, alter
natively yelled for action and booed
the former heavyweight champion
for what they thought were low
blows.
Referee Jack Downey warned
Charles for low punching in the
sixth round and spent a busy eve
ming trying to keep the fighters
separated.
The bout was televised nation
ally but BACKED out in the San
Francisco Bay region.
Downey scored the fight 81
points for Charles and 641a for
Maxim. The judges called it 681
633 and 1852, both in favor Of
Charles.
Downey gave Charles seven
rounds and Maxim five, while the
judges had it even more one sided
ly in favor Of the ex-heavy champ.
Maxim's title was. not at stake
in the battle. He weighed in at
178 pounds and Charles tipped the
beam at 100.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA = Bet

Tyler, Texas, will meet in the re-
vival of the "Steel Bowl" Classic
on Tuesday, January l, 1852 in
50,000-seat Legion Field in Birm-

The New Years Day pairing of
the third-ranking Southern Inter-
collegiate Athletic Conference Bet
hume Goodman team against Texas
College, which finished second in
the Southwest Conference race is
a natural. Both squads are prime
offensive machines, with rock-rib-
bed defensive units. During regu-
lar season play, Bethune Goodman
and Texas College met some of
the top teams in the nation.
Bethune Goodman is coached by
Rudolph (Bunky) Matthews, form

and defeats. The only losses suf-
fered by the Wildcats were to Nor
ris Brown and Florida A & NJ,
which finished No. / and 2, re-
spectively in the national football
standings.
The famed Texas College Steers
are coached by Fred Big Long.
The Steers finished only a step
behind Prairie view in the South

Steers will be making their third

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE
Harlem Globetrotters, Americas
fabulous team of Negro basketball
stars, "have proved themselves am
bassadors of good will wherever
they have gone" according to the
issue of Look magazine just out.
That commentator is from the
U. S. State Department, and is
included in the unusual picture
story about the Trotters in Look.
The magazine points out that the
team travelled more than $4,000
miles last year and played $40
games before more than 2 million
people.
In Berlin they attracted $4,000
fans--a world record-and it was
for this performance that they
were complimented by the U. S.
government.
But the Trotters have played
before small crowds, too, and in
unusual places, like drained swim
ming pools and haylofts. Once, in
a tiny Montana town, they didn't
think anyone would show up. The
village had just houses, and 1872
people. But the local promoter
put in a general telephone call
through the area. Each circuit had
200 phones. 1t was like a radio
broadcast. By game time, 1000
persons were jamming the tiny
auditorium.
On the other hand, Look reports,
the Trotters have appeared before
the Queen of Egypt, the Sultan of
Morocco, 20 members of the Brit
ish Parliament, and they've had
an audience with Pope Plus XII.
Guiding hand of the Trotters is
Abe Saperstein, the Chicago inn
pressario who's as fabulous as his
team. Abe books the team every
where and anywhere, and as a
result they've performed before
more people than Joe Louis or the
New York Yankees or Notre
