Twas a Bleak Day for CoIIow
Until Navy Started Winninq

Rusty Callow, Navy's great
rowing coach whose crews won
the $1,000 Rowe Trophy for the
second straight year on the Po-
tomac yesterday, was a study in
contrasts during an eventful day
off Hams Point.
He sat detected in the grand
stands with rain pelting about
his ears as Navy's frosh crew
came in last in the first quail
flying heat. For the past two
years, his froSh crews had won
the finals of heavyweight sprints.
It was a different story this
time.
Pulling himself together, CAL
low observed that his freshmen
crew hadn't won a race this
season. That's rowing-one
year you are on top and the next
year you're at the bottom" he
added. Then, Rusty started
perking up when his jayvee crew
coasted to an easy victory over
Harvard and Syracuse. At the
finish. his crew was down to an
effortless 2g-a-minute stroke.
The sun broke through as
Callow's Varsity eight, unde-
feated in II races. finished five
seconds ahead of Harvard in
the trial heats. His oarsmen
paused only a minute after the
finish, then rowed off to the
showers, still fresh as daisies. It
was a harbinger of things to
come.
Callow's cup ran over as his
jayvee and varsity crews swept
to victories. Afterwards, he was
taken out to the finish line in a
course boat and earned a hail
from Secretary of Navy Anderson
aboard his yacht Sequoia.
The regatta set another first.
It was probably the first time in
history that spectators viewed
races below the level of the oars
men. Blame it on flooded condi-
tions of the Potomac and a high
spring tide. For the morning
trials. some 1,5O0 box seats along
the seawall were under water.
Box holders sought refuge in
the grandstands set up on higher
ground. Fortunately. the tide
turned before noon and by the
time Of the finals at 3 PM, the
river had dropped enough so
that no box holders got wet feet.
A few Of the more enthusias-
tic alumni who showed up for
the morning trials simply took
of shoes and sox and settled
down in their boxes, with waves
tapping around their ankles.
Toughest break of the day in
volved the Columbia freshmen
eight. In their trial heat, one of
the crew broke an oar half way
down the course and the shell
limped in, in sixth and final po-
Sition.
Even though they were rowing
with a favoring tide, none of the
winning crews set any records
for the 2,000-meter course. The
Navy varsity's winning time of
607.4 was 81 seconds shy of
Navy'S record last year.

GonsaIves Defeats
DeMarco on IL Vote
By the Assoeiated Press

BOSTON, May 16.-Stylish
Johnny Gonsalves of Oakland,
Calf, was awarded a decidedly
unpopular split decision over
rough Paddy DeMarco of Brook
lyn in their televised 10-round
bout tonight at Mechanics Build
ing. DeMarco was the aggreSsor
from start to finish but only one
Of the judges voted in his favor.
AS the slim gathering of 1923
roared its protests, Referee Ed
Mcdonald voted 1896 and Judge
Jim Shaughnessy 1898 for Con-
salveS. But Judge Jim Carrig
gave DeMarco the perfect total
of 100 points to SO for the Cali
fornian.
The Associated Press card
credited DeMarco with nine Of
the rounds.
Known as the Billy Goat"
DeMarco rushed GonsalveS from
start to finish and gave him a
lusty two-fisted body beating in
each session. Gonsalves was
limited to counterpunching and,
in the minds of most of the
spectators, had little success so
doing.
DeMarco hid his head be-
hind his gloves, charged like a
bull and, once inside his op-
ponent'S guard, blasted with
both hands to the middle.
There never was the slightest
danger Of a knockdown. The
only visible damage to either
was a slight cut over the bridge
OF DeMarco's nose.

Navy's jayvee time of 6:15.7
was 3.9 seconds slower than their
teammates of year ago. And
Cornell's freshmen time of 6:20.5
was 4.8 seconds over the Middies
record of 1852.
Another first was Columbia
Broadcasting Co.'S telecast of
the varsity final, the first rowing
regatta ever to be televised. CHS
officials were elated over the re-
suits despite typical Potomac
River haze of a hot day and the
fact their cameras were subject
to little roll and pitch.
TV cameras were set up on the
Coast Guard patrol boat which
regularly covers the Washington

Marciano LOOKING
To Possible LaStarza
Or Charles Fight
BY Jack Hand
Associated Press Sports Writer

CHICAGO. May 16.-Jersey
Joe Walcott's camp still was
screaming raw deap' and "fast
count" today, demanding a re-
match with Rocky Marciano.
while the heavyweight champion
looked ahead to a possible Sep
tember defense against Roland
La Starza or Ezzard Charles.
Felix Bocchicchio, Walcott's
manager, reversed pre-f1ght
plans to retire the 39-year-old
Negro, win or lose, and offered to
donate his entire rematch purse
to charity because he wanted no
blemish on the 24-year record of
Jersey Joe.
Bocchicchio and his lawyer.
Angelo Malandra, planned to file
a formal protest Monday with
the Illinois Athletic Commission.
claiming a quick count. They
were going to ask the commission
to see the movies Of the fight to
check the accuracy of the timing.
Timekeepers Defend Count.
Both Mike Murphy, knockdoWn
timekeeper, and Fay Young, reg
ular timekeeper, insisted there
was no doubt about the legal
1O-count. Young, in fact, said it
could have been 13 before Wal
colt was up and ready to fight.
Referee Frank Sikora, who
counted out Walcott at 2:25 OF
the first round of last nights dis
appointing bout, said the old boy
really was hit "a terrific right"
Its silly to say Walcott could
have gotten up before TO-"
Sikora said. "He didn't know
what he was doing or what was
going on while he was down.
Walcott said it was nine when he
got up and his manager said 1t
was seven. He got the full count.
I picked it up from the knock
down counter at four. II kept
on counting it would have been
IL or IL before he got up"
The referee said he probably
would have allowed Walcott to
continue if he beat the count be-
cause it was a championship
fight and he didn't want to call
a TKO against an experienced
veteran like Jersey Joe.
WalcOtt DiSagrees.
Walcott's version, retold at to-
days press conference at the
Midwest Hotel, didn't agree with
the officials.
II heard him count seven," he
said. II started to get up but he
pushed me down and waved Mar
ciano the winner"
Here's what Marciano had to
say at a press conference this
noon when asked to comment
about Walcott's pre-f1ght foul
and butting claims.
IT came out to do my fighting
in the ring and I think that is
what he should have done. l
think I would have got up and
fought"
Rocky, pausing to review the
fight with the press before he
and his wife left for Holland,
Mich, to participate in the tulip |
festival parade, said the punch
that ended the fight was about |
equal in power with the blow
that won the title from Walcott
at Philadelphia last September.
There was a lot of beef be-
hind it," he said. II must have
hit him the best possible shot.
When I heard the count get up
to eight, I said to myself. this
fellow isn't going to get up He
hadn't even looked at the referee.
"I wasn't looking for first
round knockout. I just wanted
to hurt and slow him down so it
would end quicker than 13 this
time"
Would Marciano be willing to
give Walcott another shot?
"If AL manager AL Weill)
thinks he deserves another shot,
I'm ready" he answered.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 25.-The
boom and-bust in cattle is deal
ing Furnishing financial blows to-
day to those who jumped into the
market for the joyride in fat
cattle profits.
The big shake-down is under
way in the industry. A great
many people have been and will
be hurt. They took a gamble on
prices holding up-and lost. Now,
the situation has developed a
political side that has Repub-
licans jittery as they look toward
the 1854 elections.
This squeeze In cattle prices
caused one old-line Texas cattle
man-Dolph Brisco of Uvalde-
to tell a bankers group recently
that in event of a depression:
Maybe then a lot of bankers and
oil men and BARRIERS and soda
jerkers who have been running
cattle will be forced out of the
business. They oughtn't to have
been in it in the first place. The
rest of us will pull through

oppose a Government loan
program The general reaction
there was that the bankers would
help the cattlemen ride out the
price slump with loan extensions.
These are straws in the winds
blowing over the Western plains.
The consensus Of farm editors,
cattle leaders, and others in the
cattle business to whom I've
talked has been that the Eisen-
hover administration is moving
IN the right direction to shift
toward a free economy. although
the transition period will be a
difficult one.

It seems fairly clear thSt the

administration is able to develop

PORT SECURITY
CARD ORDERS BY
THE COAST GUARD
DeadIine Expired July 4;
Boatmen Warned of Rules
Now in Effect

Norfolk, Va. = Crew members
and operators of all commercial
harbor, river and coastal utility
water craft were reminded today
by the Coast Guard that unless
they get required port security
Identification cards or other accept
able credentials by July 1, legal
action may be taken, against them.
The regulations concerning util-
ity craft were publicly announced
in March as part of the Coast
Guards program to safeguard the
nations major waterfront facili-
ties against sabotage and other
subversive activities. Craft affected
by the move include towing vessels,
barges, lighters, water taxis, and
junk, garbage, bum, supply and
repair boats.
At the time the announcement
was made the Coast Guard asked
for all persons working aboard
these craft to apply for port Sc
curity cards or have their mer-
chant mariners documents validat-
ed, and named July l as the dead
line date for their possession or
valuation.
However, according to the Coast
Guard, applications from affected
boatmen have been far below the
number expected.
Rear Adm. Russell E. Wood,
USCG, commander, Fifth Coast
Guard District, said that those who
have not applied may experience
considerable inconvenience and
possibly legal action when harbor
patrols begin checking affected
Craft July 1.
Persons employed on the water
craft should Immediately either
apply for Coast Guard port Sc
curity cards or have their mer-
chant mariners documents validat-
ed. The mariners documents may
be used in lieu of port security
cards.
Information concerning port Sc
curity cards and applications for
them can be obtained at Coast
Guard port security cards issuing
offices in Norfolk and Newport
News, Va; Baltimore, and Will
niington.
Applications for valuation of
merchant mariners documents can
be made at Merchant Marine In
spection offices in Baltimore, Nor
folk and Wilmington.
