NEW YORK, Feb. % - Ike
Williams, former lightweight
champion Of the world now on the
comeback trail as a welterweight,
has been reinstated as a fighter
by the New York State Athletic
Commission.
The state commission announced
its approval of Ike as a fighter as
being effective, February 10.
Originally, the New York box
ing board had surprised the box
ing world by arbitrarily declaring
Ike retired from the ring. This
brought out protests from the
Williams camp.
Williams, once one Of the rings
most feared boxers, has not Jared

list of IS eating places that show
no racial bias and that is polling
other dining centers on the ques-
ton of service.
In a sermon to his parishioners,
Dr. Davies pledged:
81 shall myself, from this time
on, not knowingly eat a meal in
any restaurant in the District that
will not serve meals to Negroes.
And l shall make this known to
restaurant managements. l invite
all who truly believes in human
brotherhood to do the same"
Rev. Davies sent out this letter
to restaurant owners in a poll he
is taking:
"To managers of restaurants in
the District of Columbia:
"The inclosed list names all
those Washington restaurants
which are known to us to serve
meals to we'll behaved persons ir-
respective of their race. We be-
lieve there must be other restau-
rants which practice American
democratic principals, and we
would like to add them to our re-
vised list.
"If your restaurant serves meals

the service given other citizens.
will you kindly advise me at your
early convenience so that it's name

Southern habs
Third Straight
Cage Title

Southern University's basketball
five" knocked over Texas College
in an easy championship battle to
he tune of l10-61 to clinch the
Negro Southwestern Conference
title for the third year in a row.
Southern, once beaten in confer
ence play, had to overcome the
normal fear because the Texans in
vaded the Jaguar's lair with d
record boasting victory over AL
corn, Grambling and other high
scoring aggregations.
Once the initial nervousness had
passed, it was quite plain that the
Louisiana Cats, mostly freshmen,
were out to keep Southern's all
time great athletic record clear and
to signal their intentions of parti-
cipating in the National Negro
intercollegiate Basketball Tourna-
ment in Nashville, Tennessee
(next) this week.
Despite the fact that Coach R.
II. Lees dribblers were somewhat
off, they had a commanding half
rime 55-l8 lead. Frequent substi-
tutions by both squads failed to
produce a smooth game. Robert
Gray, the Classy Chicago lad,
basketed 81 points for his nights
performance. Captain Robert Hos
llins, Voris Peters and Jimmy
Singleton accounted for IS, IA and
Is tallies respectively.
The Texans high scorers were
Raymond Turner and Dorsey VII
son with II points each. Nine
points amassed by Julius Jones was
the second high.
Southern engages in two non
circuit games in New Orlean.

| sites on the way to the Nationals
where they will make a bid for the

of Cuba.
Gavilan waltzed around, backed
away, then set in with fury of
punches that had the challenger on
the canvas for the count of nine
before anyone got up sweat. 1t
appeared as though the Kid was
toying with Davey because he
switched from a left-hander to a
right-hander and it was a sad
sight to see when he did tear into
Davey upsetting him three times,
only to have Chuck saved by the
bell.
Davey's trainer, in refusing to
ALLOW him to continue the fight,
exercised good Judgment. (The old
habit of tossing the towel in the
ring went out with this new intro
duction of nod and a wave Of the
hand to tell that the fight is at
at end.)
Why the boxing commissions in
the various states continue to al
low these setup matches, this writ
or cannot understand. Everyone,
including me, gave a howl when
Bob Christenberry made his ia
nous reversed decision, but believe
me, it should do the boxing bust
ness a lot of good. The matchmak-
crs, especially in New York, should
now know that Uncle Bob" will
not stand for any foolishness and
that the boxers had better be in
good shape and the bouts right
as they say, "no more stalling, no
more crawling"
What a difference this is making
in New York is evidenced by the
La Starza-Lane heavyweight en-
counter. Neither of these boys, in
the mind Of this writer, had any
science, and we do not see how
they stood up against either.
Charles, Walcott, or Marciano, but
they gave the TV fans a real fight;
it was a slambang affair from the
beginning and continued at whirl-
Wind pace for the entire ten
rounds.
AS one writer expressed it, if
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-02-28

they are not going to have real
fights, they might as well rule o'1t
boxing and have all wrestling
matches, because at least the peo-
pie know all wrestling matches
are put on for a show.
Boxing has had some goo |
cycles; however, with the passin~
of Joe Louis, it looks as though
it has slumped into another zone
of those things" Kid Gavilan,
against any opponent, will Away
put up a good fight, but there
are so many sad deals nowadays
that one would rather tune in on
a mystery story.
Ray Robinson is gone, Jimmy
Carter puts up good fight if
and when he feels like. it. Archie
Moore, without anyone to fight
could give some good exhibitions
against anyone, but he has been
relegated to hacking up a lot of
buns in order to keep in spending
change.
So what? Unless the Rocky
Marciano-Joe Walcott exhibition,
which has been moved to Chicago,
proves to be as sensational as the
last fight, we will definitely know
that boxing is in its declining cycle.
jim Norris and his boys seem to
have found new golden field in
Chicago as they look at the results
OF the purses in the Gavilan- Davey
fray. If a better fight isn't put on
with this heavyweight tussle April
10, the Pabst Beer people will cut
Gown on their future TV revenue.
This writer has a feeling that
Joe Walcott could win this fight,
but the cards are stacked against
him and if he does come out as
the first to regain the heavyweight
championship, he had better begin
praying now.

Seword Schools
 Undergo Inspection By Commissioner

MT. Donald Dafoe, Alaska Commissioner of E d u c a { o n, dropped in at the Seward High School Thursday at about noon. He was accompanied by his wife and little daughter Judy.
 Although they stayed in Sew ard only a few hours, MT. Dafoe made an inspection of the main school building, BayvieW, and the new annex still under con struction downtown.
 MT. Dafoe's visit was chiefly to discuss school transportation. He remarked that the school board was wise in purchasing new buses rather than used ones. The GMC buses ordered are identical with the first elev- en put into operation in An chorage while he was superin- tendent of schools there, he re- marked, and they had proved to be sturdy, economical and efficient.

Dedication of Seward Nurses Residence

Three ranking M e h d S churchmen conducted the simple ceremony of dedication Wednes- day night, August 26, at the new nurses residence on First Avenue. The institution will now be officially known as the Wesleyan Service Guild Nurses Residence, named in honor of the group of women with mem bers all over the United States, whose contributions made the residence possible.
 These members are profes- sionally employed women who agreed to raise the $74,000 nec- essary to meet the requirement for amounts provided from Ter ritorial and Federal funds.
 The building is strictly mod ern, fire and earthquake resist ant and unquestionably the most beautiful building in Seward. Plans for it's construction were started when the nurses quar- ters at Seward Sanatorium burn ed in 1949. It was completed and occupied last winter. This is the first project of its kind under taken in Alaska by the Wesleyan Guild.

Mefhodisfs On Alaska Tour See Church Expansion

The Steamship Baranof ar rived some three hours late with capacity load-137 in all-of Methodists Wednesday evening. The church people were travel ing on the Methodist Christian Advocate cruise, for which the Baranof had been chartered.
 Leaders of the group include Bishop J. Ralph Magee, retired, formerly of Seattle, now of Evanston, Illinois; Grant Yer hulst, managing editor of the Christian Advocate magazine and director of the cruise, of Chicago; Dr. Earl Brown, exec utive secretary of the division of national missions of the Methodist Church, of New York; and Rev. P. Gordon Gould, superintendent of M e h 0 d s t work in Alaska.
 While primarily a pleasure cruise, the tourists, Methodists from all over the country, are interested in the expanding ac- tivities of their church in Alaska and will have opportunity to see it in Anchorage and Valdez on their return to Seattle.
 Local Methodists had made preparations to serve dinner at the church for the visitors. They would have had moose and bear meat as well as silver salmon and other seafoods.

A.S.C. Debo+es Cut Of Passenger Service

Alaska Steamship Company passenger service will be con tinued with sailings from Seattle through October 30 and from Seward through November 5, pending final determination of passenger service studies now under way, the company vice president and general manager, D. E. Skinner, said this week.
 This statement was made in connection with recent company reports indicating likelihood that The Alaska Line would dis continue passenger service.
 "The decision to continue pas senger sailings through October was made in view of the interest of civic groups, unions and pub lie officials in Seattle and Al aska in our efforts to find ways and means to perpetuate this service" Skinner pointed out.
 In earlier statements Skinner has made it clear that unless some means is found to increase passenger vessel revenues or cut expenses it would be necessary for the company to eliminate this service in view of the con tinuing heavy losses. It has been pointed out that one way to meet the situation would be for the Military Sea Transportation Service to use The Alaska Lines passenger service for transport ing military personnel and their dependents to and from Alaska.

Hco'+h Survey Team Visits Locai C. of C.

Dr. Thomas Parran and other members of the Department of Interior Health Survey team were guests of Seward Chamber of Commerce here Tuesday. Dr. Parran is the former Surgeon General of the US. Public Health Service and now dean of the Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health.
 Other members of the team are Dr. James A. Crabtree, pro- lessor of public health practices; Dr. Antonio Ciocco, professor and head of biostatistics; and Walter J. McNerney, assistant professor of hospital admins tration.
 Dr. Parran had high praise for Seward Sanatorium and the work of Dr. Francis Phillips there. His work is known and followed with great interest all over the country, Dr. Parran stated. He also commended the work done by church missions in Alaska.
 Dr. Crabtree took great deal of kidding about fishing in Alaska, at which he said he has the greatest enthusiasm of any on the team but the least skill.
 Dr. Ciocco commented that the team has not had opportu- nity to make anything but preliminary study, which will prepare them for intensive work next year.
 The survey is being made under contract between the Department of Interior and the University of Pittsburgh Grad uate School. It is the result of requests directed to Douglas Mckay, Secretary of Interior, by the Alaska Legislature and by many individuals in the Ter ritory The agreement between Pittsburgh University and the Dept. of Interior provides for a collection and analysis of avail able data on the general health and hospital problems of the native and contiguous white pop ulation. Particular emphasis will be placed on studies of tubercu- losis, pneumonia, maternal and child health and crippled chil- dren's services.
 Mental health, dental services and other major health prob lems in the Territory will also be studied, and environment fac tors contributing to these prob lems will be evaluated
 The team left Seward on the Baranof for Sitka and south eastern communities.
 Other Visitors
 Other visitors at the Tuesday luncheon were Dr. Hittson and Miss Lottie Hirsh; Mrs. J. N. Rodeheaver and Miss Emma Burris, both of the Methodist Women's Division of national missions.
