Georgetown Track Prospects Still Good
Even With CoppyL ost for Indoor Season

Even with Charley Capozzoli
missing for probably the rest of
the indoor track season, the
Georgetown University team
isn't going to be a weak one.
Heading toward the upcoming
feature meets - the National
AAU Saturday at Madison
Square Garden and the IC-4A
the following Saturday at the
same place-the Hoyas' top
flight talent is looking better
than usual.
Carl Joyce is ready to con-
tinue his bid for a place among
the 1,000-yard leaders, and Joe
LaPierre, too, should do well at
the mile. Vince Kelley also is
getting better at the middle dis
tances.
Capozzoli, the Georgetown
distance star, hasn't recovered

CHICAGO, Feb. IL. - With
Chuck Davey disposed of--so de-
cisiyely that most OF that nice
guys friends are sorry he ever
got in the ring with such a buzz
saw-Kid Gavilan is going to
take his bolo punch and his
furious flurries into the middle
weight division.
That being the case, there are
danger signals ahead for Randy
Turpin and Bobo Olson, the
standout contenders for Sugar
Ray Robinson's defaulted 100
pound title. For they're the boys
the cocky Gavilan is cunning for
now, and he doesn't care which
comes first-or so he said in his
dressing room at Chicago Sta
dunn last night.
"It's now middleweights for
me-" said the unmarked Gavilan.
II want take on Turpin or
Olson. Either one after this
tournament business. Let Tur-
/ pin or Olson find out who is
champion and then I fight that
guy"
Only a short time before, the
Cuban Hawk had put an end to
the Davey dream of being the
first holder of a college degree
ever to win an undisputed world
championship in the prize ring.
Gavilan coppered his own hold
on the welterweight title by CIV

Davey wanted to go on, even
though he had been fioored three
times in the ninth round.
The last Of these knockdowns
came on a terrific right to the

and almost completely out Of the
ring. The bell sounded q few
seconds after Chuck arose at the

'.The World and the West tx
ford University Press, New York
City, 80 pages.)
In the first part OF Mr.. Dawson'a
book, he criticizes the present sys-
TEN Of European education, which
gives the background OF ancient
Greece and Rome, and then shrinks
to a narrow nationaiistic history Of
the individual country where the
subject is taught. The author con-
tends that the history OF Europe
as an entity should be the impor-
tant background for all Western
students. and should be shown as
surrounding the dynamic spiritual
process OF Christianity, rather than
In the nationalism OF individual
states.
He points out that it Is from a
society Of peoples who shared the
same faith and the same moral
values that the unity Of western
culture is derived.
The essential task. Mr. Dawson
says. . is To understand Chris
tan culture as whole arising from
