'CONCH CAGERS
LICK ALUMNI

A much improved Key West
High School basketball squad wal
loped picked Alumni five in a
1923 ballgame on the high school
court last night.
For the first time in this years
abbreviated campaign, the Conch
shooting began to find its mark
when the high schooiers roIled up
an impressive score to win easily.
The game served as a tuneup for
the upcoming meeting with Home
stead on Friday night there and
if the Conchs can display last
nights form against the upstaters,
they have chance of pulling out
with a good performance.
Jones used IL men last night
against the Alumni and they dis
played a fast woodworking at
tack in capturing the win.
Jimmy Solomon and Bob Saw
yer were in particularly fine form
when they dominated the back
board to consistently pick off re-
bounds in the win.
The high school five led through
out the ballgame when they jump
ed into a 1874 lead at the end of
the first quarter and held a 1915
lead at the halftime.
In the third period, they cut
loose with a fast. break to roll
up 1S points against the Alumni.
Lucy Gonzalez, with IL counters
led the scoring parade for the
Conchs and Stu Logun hit the
meShes for IL and the runnerup
honors.
The Conch foul shooting was i'm
pressive when they rang the bell
for scores on their first seven at
tempts from the foul line.
Hello Orapeza and Armando
Henriquez performed will on the
floor as well.
In a preliminary game, the
Junior Chamber of Commerce five
captured an upset win over the
Junior Varsity cagers, 1924. The
jos overcame an early first period
lead to gain the win.
Fito Lastres and Joe Pinder
paced the &c attack while John
Vermette looked good for the
losers.

Maxim-Moore To Battle Tonight

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer will
sponsor the radio broadcast of the
Joey Maxim VS.. Archie Moore Is
fight on December 18th from the
st. Louis Arena. The CHS radio
network will transmit the action to
a nationwide audience; local fans
can catch the action over station
WKWF beginning at 9 p. m, East
ern Standard Time.
Joey Maxim has made only two
defenses of his title since winning
it from Freddie Mills on January
"a, 1850. His superb jabbing made
pulp of Irish Bob Murphy in
1851 after the experts had figured
the wild-swinging Murphy to un-
seat the champ. Joey won his
second defense by TKO in IA
rounds from Ray Robinson when
the latter collapsed from heat and

heat wave of June 1852. Maxim,
80, of Cleveland, is nearing his
18th year in pro boxing. He has
had 100 pro fights with Is victor
les, 2l KOS, IS losses and 4 draws.
Archie Moore, perennial con-
tender for light heavyweight hon.
ors, is one of the sports oldest
practitioners in both age, 36, and
in tenure, 16 years. His recent and
justifiable campaign what Do
You Have To Do To Get A Title
Shot?" = has finally paid diyi-
dends. Moore's record, spanning 16
years and 128 bouts, seems suffi-
cient qualification for title
chance. Age seemingly has not
sapped the power or speed of
Moore's offenSe; he is expected to
enter the ring as the favorite.
Archie Moore, always a best man
but never the feature-player is a
title bout, is ready to get himself
cut in.

ST. LOUIS R-Old man Archie
Moore, fulfilling a youthful ambi-
ton at SO, ends a 10-year trail to
the championship ring, tonight in
his 15-round title scrap with Light
Heavyweight Champ Joey Maxim.
This is a chance of a lifetime
for Moore, and it almost took the
st. Louis Negro a lifetime to gain
it. For almost decade Archie
has been brushed off by light
heavyweight champions, a sad fate
for an 18-year-old beginner who
had planned to get title chance
and retire at Is.
Despite the time lag, now that
Moore has the opportunity he's
favored to take the 175-pound
crown from Maxim, a 3O-year-old
gent from Cleveland. The odds
give Moore the edge at S-5, but
they'll probably vary to close to
even until the two men enter the
ring.
A crowd of about 1900 fans is
expected to pay about $S5,0OO to
see the International Boxing Clubs
attraction at the arena. The 8 pm.
est 90 pm. EST bout wiz be
telecast and broadcast nationally
over CHS with only the st. Louis
area blacked out.
More than 500, 600 in receipts has
been iced away already, and that
was enough to establish a new ST.
Louis record.
To that expected $50 900 haul
you probably can safely add a
minimum of $4,000 TO the purse.
That represents the radioTV spon-
sor's reported purchase price for
the air rights.
Maxim has been guaranteed
about $4,000 in making his third
defense of the world title he took
from England'S Freddie Mills in
1850.
But the fact hen receive only
token payment doesn't bother
Moore, who insists, The main
thing is that I'm finally getting
my shot. i know / can beat him.
I'm going to knock him out"
Maxim retorts:
I'm the champ and III still be
the champion when the fights
over"

Fordham MAY
Quit Football
By WILL cRlMsLEY

NEW YORK W-Announcement
that Fordham is considering aban-
donment of intercollegiate football
re-emphasized today the depths to
which the sport has fallen in the
metropolitan New York area.
Fans in the nations largest city,
which provides the pulsebeat Of
other major sports, now quite
blandly accept the fact that col
lege football here is strictly minor
league. Hopes of any improve
Iment are bleak.
New York University, which
reached great heights under John
F. Chuck Meehan back in the
roaring '20s, now plays second
rate schedule. Columbia is one oi
the door mats of the Ivy League.
Fordham is talking de-emphasis
and possible resignation.
The best record of these three
main New York teams during the
past season was two victories, and
all shared that.
Fordham won 2, lost 5 and tied
l game. NYU had a 2-5-1 record
also while Columbia finished with
an even poorer overall mark of
2-6-1. All together, they won 8, lost
16, tied 3.
The Rev. Vincent Hart, direc-
tor of university development, re-
vealed yesterday Fordham lost ap-
Fortunately $4,000 during the past
season and has a $500, 600 deficit
for seven-year period.
He said the university Is syr-
veying its football program to de-
eide on one of three courses:
l. To continue the present setup.
2. Drop football.
3. Adopt,a middle course of de-
emphasis on back to the cam
pus" plan.
I'VE are beginning to feel that
football as presently played in the
big time isn't as important as we
thought it was" Hart said. "Our
two big rivalS-Georgetown and
NYU-either have given it UP or
de-emphasized completely"

dini, meet tomorrow in the OPEN
ing singles match of the interzono
finals, but the Australian headlines
of the moment concern one Frank
Sedgman.
Generally considered the finest

world, Sedgman has this whole ma
ton buzZing over the prospect that
he win turn professional and tour
the U. S. and other countries after
the Davis Cup Challenge Round
to be held Dec. 29-31 in Adelaide.
There is little doubt that the
Australian cup holders will meet
the U. S. for the big vase which is
emblematic of world supremacy
for the amateurs. Tony Trabert of
the u. S. plays Italy'S Gianni Gu
celli in tomOrrow's second match.
Pine Bono, manager Of the Ital-
ian cup forces, already has booked
passage to Rome for Sunday night.
eve have not made any book
ingS to Adelaide because we think
the Americans viii be very diff
cult to beat" Bono told a reporter.
That view is shared by all after
Italy barely defeated India for the
right to play the u. S.
On the other hand, the Ameri-
can captain, Seixas, said he had
made tentative plans to fly his
squad to Adelaide Sunday morn
ing.
Sir Norman BrookeS, president
of the Lawn Tennis Association of
Australia, was the latest to COM
ment on the prospect that Sedg.
man might turn pro. He said the
LTAA woHld not review Sedgman'S
status unless requested by Alrick
Man, U. S. Davis Cup manager.
Sedgman has obtained a tax per-
nit to leave Australia Jan. 3, but
has refused to admit he will sign
professionally. Reports have had
Sedgman and Ken McGregor, Aus
sic No. 2 player, signing with Jack
Kramer and Pancho SegHra Of the
U. S. after Jan. /.
Personally / can see nothing
In the rules to alter my belief that
he (Sedgman) is an amateur until
he contracts to receive money for
playing tennis" Sir Norman said.

The brilliant Brooklyn second

Negro ballplayers in the major

A suspicion that Robinson had

WEBB DOWNS ROBSON FOR NAVYFNET TITLE
Macy Toga
Decided In Hot
Match Tuesday

TWenty-three year old
Jack Webb, F ct All
Weather Training Unit ten
mis- ace, emerged the winner
yesterday in the finals O.
the local Navy Singles Tour
nament. Webb gained thc
title by virtue of a hard
fought three set victory over
Bob Robson of the USS Gill
more, 81, 4-6, So.
The action, which took
place on the Bayview Park
courts, before a good sized
gallery, was about as close
as it could have been.
Webb, who has cam
paigned on the Ohio tennis
scene with the Dennison col
lege net squad, was greatly
extended by Robson, who
played a whale of a game,
before he was able to pull
out with a win after two
hours of grueling action.
Webb jumped into a two game
lead in the opening set but Robi-
son came back to knot it up and
give the fans an indication that
this was going to be redhot bit
Of tennis action.
However, Webb broke through
RobiSon's service at 81 and then
made it 81 on his own service to
capture the first set.
Robson, with smooth back
hand and a fast net game, then
took the second set.
Robson found himself in pos
session Of a So lead in the final
set and then Webb took his own
service to make it 5-4.
The tension almost reached the
breaking point when Robson ran
the next game to 40-love in what
could have been the final game of
the match.
But, at this point, Webb tighten
ed up and playing steady tennis
featuring a fine net game, rallied
to tie the match up at SIS.
The competitors exchanged SER
vices to make it 6-6 and then Webb
cashed in on his own service and
broke Robison's to end the match
and capture the title.
Webb captured the match with
Robson, who is probably the
only netter in the tourney capable
of extending him, by virtue of his
staying power and fine backcourt
game. His service was consistently
the bell. as well. Robson was
definitely ''up" ror the match.
Webb left last night on furlough
to his home in Tennessee and was
not on tap this morning when Rear
Admiral Irving T. Duke presented
the championship trophy. Cups
were also awarded to Robson,
Commander Joe Watson and. Chief
Of HS-1 and Chief John McNulty
of the opDev Station who were
semi-finalists in the tourney.
Since Webb will be on leave,
either Watson or Robson will be
in the number one spot for the
Navy on Saturday when they go
up against the Key West Tennis
Club team in a match which has
been set for 2;3o p. m. at Bay
view Park. One of these men will
be faced with the task of stopping
the slants Of City net champion
Peter Varela in Saturdays match.
