The consolation game between
Batesville and Forest Grove was
likewise a thriller with the Beav-
erS coming on in the last quarter
to win 55-54.
Harry McGee's two free throws
in the final three seconds was the
margin of victory for Batesville.
The game was two and a half
minutes old before BateSville
took 20 lead, but Haga tied it
with a fielder and Dean Foraker
hit for three to give Forest Grove
a lead they held until the last few
seconds.
Dead-Eye Dick Haga with 20
points and Foraker with II were
Forest Groves mainstays, but
they couldn't offset the rebound
work of Myron Roe when the
points counted.

Cayilan-Davey
Bout Set Wed.

Chuck Davey's attempt to take

nationally by Pabst Blue Ribbon
over the CHS television network.
Local fans can hear the scheduled
15-round action over CHS, begin
ming sts1Osp. m, Eastern Standard
Time.
For fEia first time, this bout
matches two fighters whose careers
have developed and progressed to
title-calibrA under the scrutiny Of
the TV camera lens. Both Gavilan
and Davey have had a majority of
their Important main.event bouts
televised on national networks.
Kid Gavilan, the Cuban Hawk
from Camaguey, gained his first
fame when he tangled with Ike
Williams In blistering three-bout
series against Ike Williams in
1948-49. Two Of these bouts were
televised on what then was the
national network = west to Chicago
and south to Richmond. These Ca
vilan-Williams TV bouts are still
discussed as "some Of the best
ever on television." Gavilan's ring
style : speed and continual punch
ing, spiced with his patented,
flashy holo punch brought him
to main-event stature soon after
his arrival in the States in 1916.
After a string Of matches with the
top lightweights and welterweights,
including a losing try for Ray Re-
binson's title, Gavilan disposed of
Johnny Bratton and Billy Graham
