RALEIGH, N. c., Mar. 6.-West
Virginia. Duke and North Caro-
lima State rated about equal as
co-favorites, and in race track
parlance, the other five teams
were in the field, as the Southern
Conference basketball champion
ship got underway today in North
Carolina States 12,500 capacity
coliseum.
The field" entries included
George Washington University,
which was conceded the best
chance of upsetting the seedlings,
and the University Of Maryland.
a potential troublemaker because
of a style of play still bother
some to the other conference
teams.
A matinee crowd of more than
10000 was assured as Gov. w.
Kerr Scott of North Carolina Of
ficially opened the tournament by
tossing up the first ball. putting
in play the following first round
pairings-with conference rec
ords in parenthesis:
2 o'clock-West Virginia (15-D
VS.. William and Mary 600.
4 o'clock-Duke (l3-0 VS..
Maryland (9-5).
7:3O-Clemson (11-A VS.. George
Washington (12-6).
9:3O-N. c. State CPD VS..
Furman (9-5).
Several Records to Be Broken.
Several tournament records
were sure to be broken, among
them a very important financial
one. Advance ticket sales topped
the $4,000 mark last night, only
a thousand dollars short Of last
years record, and except for to-
days matinee program, capacity
crowds are expected for the other
three sessions, including the semi
finals tomorrow night and the
final Saturday night.
For the first time In tourna-
ment history two Associated Press
are on hand, Dick
Groat of Duke. who will have
trouble living up to his advance
notices, and Mark Workman Of
West Virginia, who probably will
play in a mask protecting a frac-
tured jaw suffered against WASH
ington and Lee.
Another tournament first Is the
choice Of three officials by any two
coaches who can agree. If they
cannot agree, two will be used, as
in the past. The safest bet Of the
tournament is that Red Brown Of
West Virginia will not want a
third man-in-white. as Workman,
his star, has enough trouble
avoiding five fouls when two men
are working.
Reinhart Favors Three Officials.
The only coach outspoken in
favor Of three officials was Bill
Reinhart Of George Washington.
Since the Southern Conference
separated from the Southeastern
this is the Goth basketball tourna-
ment and Maryland qualified for
the 18th time, missing I'VE.
George Washington, which joined
the conference in 1912, missed
only last year and has had eight
teams entered. The ColOnials did
not play basketball during two
war years.
West Virginia, ninth ranked in
the Nation, is the choice to end
North Carolina States reign at
four years, but in this basketball
mad capital Of the Tar Heel State,
the defending champion Wolfpack
still is the choice.
Against West Virginia is the
fact that the Mountaineers have
lunked in two previous visits here.

LaMoita Wants Shot
Al Maxim Following
Draw With Hairston
BY the Assoeioted Press


DETROIT, Mar. 6.-Jake La
Motta. the former middleweight
champion, won't have to hang ur
his boxing gloves.
The 3o-year-old fighter, show
ing the strain Of IL years of cam.
paigning. earned a 10-round draw
with up-and-coming Eugene (Si-
lent) Hairston last night, but some
thought the Bronx Bull was pretty
lucky.
On the eve Of the bout, LaMotta
let it be known he would retire
for good II the 23-year-old Hair
|ston beat him decisively.
Now LaMotta says he Is going
to keep on fighting. He wants q
shot at Joe Maxim's light heavy
weight title.
The hard-punching Hairston
lost no prestige in the bout which
he hoped would earn him chance
at the middleweight title.
Hairston's Corner Protests.
A loud holler went up from
Hairston's corner when the de-
cision was announced. Manager
Mike Miele = declared LaMotta
had paced himself, fighting In the
last few minutes of each round
to impress the judges.
LaMotta's tactic Of putting on
a dazzling furry at the end CT
each round paid off, Both judges
scored It as even so points for
each boxer. Referee Morris Sher-
man gave the verdict to Hairston
by a 52-48 margin. Under Michi-
gan boxing rules the majority de-
cision made it a draw.
Protesting the decision, Man.
ager Miele beloved:
"Hairston forces the fight all
the way. LaMotta fights only
in spurts at the end Of each round
There's no justice to the way they
score here"
Has Home Town Flavor.
Hairston. who used to work as
an attendant in LaMotta's Bronx,
N. Y, parking lot. was up against
something of a hometown boy
even If LaMotta halls from the
Bronx. It was LaMotta's 18th
bout of his professional career in
a Detroit ring and he has q lot
of admirers here. It was in De-
troit that LaMotta won the
middleweight crown from the late
Marcel Cerdan Of France.
Hairston seemed to land harder
and sharper punches than La
Motta, but he failed to achieve
his ambition of being the first to
knock the Bronx Bull of his feet.
There were no knockdowns. Both
fighters were warned several times
as they tossed low blows.
Hairston came out of the bout
LaMotta had a small
cut on the bridge Of his nose and
in the corner Of his left eye.
LaMotta weighed 1881, a 71a-
pound advantage over Hairston.
A crowd Of 10,039 paid a gross
gate Of $31 .457 .30-the best for a
fight here since the Ezzard
Charles-Jersey Joe Walcott heavy
weight championship bout in
March Of 1851.

so-go-the-Phils. Today the fellow almost
has to make the squad.
Konstanty wasn't the only factor in the
downfall of the Philies, who won their first
pennant in IS years in 1850 and fell apart
last season. But he was one Of the main
reasons why the Phils couldn't give the
Giants and Dodgers run for the money.
Del Ennis, the strong hacked outfielder,
had knocked across 125 runs two years ago.
whereas last season he left 900 men on
base, an average of four per game. But
Konstanty was up there with Ennis and
