PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.-Gil

the scales at 149 or $50 pounds

with Bobby Dykes of Miami here
tonight.
But the lanky Florida boxer
Is having trouble making even
the 154-pound limit agreed to
earlier. The welterweight limit
is lat pounds.
Dykes, who has relinquished
all claims as a welter contender
because of his weight, was two
pounds over the limit at a prac-
tice weigh-in yesterday.
Lou Viscusi, co-manager of
the 6-foot Dykes, was hoping an
overnight drying out" process
would have the Dixie battler
within the limit.
If he hasn't shed the excess
poundage, Viscusi said, Bobby
will have to fight at whatever
figure he makes. II certainly
wouldn't try to work any more
weight off him. There isn't any
excess weight left on his body"
George Katz, who manages
the young Philadelphia Negro.
said he will not put any pressure
on Dykes to take off weight II
he shows up above 154 pounds.
We've already conceded
three pounds" Katz continued.
"and another half-pound or so
wouldn't be worth calling OF

Only Carde||'s Talk
Follows Script Before
Fight With GaviIan
By George Huber

The publicity buildup for to-
morrow nights fight at Uline
Arena between Welterweight
Champion Kid Gavilan and Vic
Cardell of Hartford, Conn.,, has
been the opposite of the usual
course.
Generally, 1t is the champion
or big-nalne fighter who comes
to town practically at the last
minute: He already is well
known and doesn't need to have
his pictures taken working out
in the gymnasium or with prom
inent persons.
The fighter who gets in early
is the comparative unknown, the
one who needs the buildup. He's
supposed to be in town q week or
SO before the fight. look ferocious
while pounding an Ill assortment
Of sparring partners and issue
statements about what he's go
ing to do to the big guy.
Cardell Expects Victory.
But this time everything has
been different for the 10-round,
non title match. Gavilan, a
household word among sports
fans. has been in Washington
nearly a week. He's had his pic
ture taken with everybody of
any prominence who would pose
with him, he's worked out stead
lily and he's been making pre-
dictions about what he's going to
do to Cardell.
And where's Cardell, a fighter
who has been around five years
without hardly being heard Of
outside his native New England?
Well. he finally made it to Wash
ington late last night after
training for q few extra days
in Hartford land then having
trouble getting plane transpor-
tation.
Once here, though, Cardell
quickly t1tted into the accepted
pattern. He looks in good shape,
and says he's been training hard
and that he expects to beat Cav
ilan.
Full of Confidence.
I'm confident can give him
a better fight than Davey can,"
said Cardell. (Chuck Davey is
the fighter against whom Gavi-
Ian defends his title next month";
1--WE had to sweat it out for
every good break I've had. while
Chuck has had a terrific build
up"
Explaining why he thinks he's
better than Davey, Cardell
pointed out that Chuck lost a
decision to Carmen Basilio, a
tough fellow that I licked, but
they changed that decision and
gave Davey q draw. Then i
whipped the spots of Johnny
Bratton, who boxed . draw with
Gavilan and lost q split deci-
sion."
The Hartford fighter says he
will lpave no alibi II he fails to
make q good showing tomorrow
night. I've had fine training
facilities and have worked out
with some good fighters since I
signed for this one. I like my
chances and I expect to be still
around and swinging ut the
finish"

His Referenceto
Veteran S Age
New York Chuirmun
Sees STANDARD Rules
As Boxing's Big Need
By the Assoeiated Rress


WILMINGTON, DEL. Jan. 20.--
Bob Christenberry, chairman Of
the New York State Athletic
Commission, seriously doubts
that Jersey Joe Walcott:. former
heavyweight champion. ever will
fight again.
In a speech at the annual din
ner of the Wilmington Sports
Writers and Broadcasters Asso-
citation last night, Christenberry
said:
RULES of the New York State
Athletic Commission and almost
every State say that a fighter
cannot be licensed after he is 40
years Of age. I seriously doubt
Walcott will ever fight again"
Reference Not Explained.
He did not further explain his
reference to Walcott, who is
listed in most ring books as be-
ing 38. but has been fighting for
many years.
That was the age Walcott
acknowledged last summer short
ly before he lost the title to
Rocky Marciano. Jersey Joe pro-
duced a birth certificate listing
the date Of January 81, 1914,
which would make him almost
80 now. Last week he told the
New York commission he would
not fight Marciano until Felix
Bocchicchio, his manager, has
recovered from a heart copdi-
ton that has hospitalized him.
Walcott said. he would not fight
Marciano by April 10.
The hint as to Jersey Joe's fu-
ture prospects came during a
discussion of the recent order
by the New York State Commis-
sion and the National Boxing
Association that Marciano must
defend his title by the April date:
Marciano won the crown from
Walcott by 13th-round knock
out in Philadelphia last June.
A return bout had been agreed
to earlier. >.
Christenberry said the New
York State commission, "long a
holdout from efforts to organize
a Nationwide boxing control
group. now has agreed to work
with the NBA.
''New York is ready to lead or
follow in a cleanup Of boxing"
the chairman said.
Wants Things 'In the Open"
In a talk that ranged the whole
field of present-day problems of
boxing, Christenberry said he is
working to improve the sport for
both participants and spectators.
to bring contract matters be-
tween boxers and managers, be-
tween managers and promoters,
and in all phases of the sport
into the open, and "to let the
fans know what goes on in the
ring"
In this connection, he said the
licensing powers Of commission
ers give us the means to insist
that television boxing shows
have something more than the
bout, the beer and the razor"

shrouds of mystery about what

all the States. Perhaps we should
consider posting each round de-

There should be only one
boxing game, as there is one

ball, football, hockey and basket
ball." the chairman said. adding
that New York is preparing a
new codified set of boxing rules
and will be glad to have any
other State make use Of it or of-
fer criticism or suggestions.
A principal part Of this, he
went on. will be a firm insistence
that champions must defend

2Coachingva Vacancies
Face Redskins With
Departure Of Bass
By Lewis F. Atchison

The Redskins will be shopping
for a line coach as well as a
backf1eld mentor when the Ma
tional Football League meeting
opens Thursday in Philadelphia
as a result of Marvin Bass de-
cision to quit the pro ranks for
berth under George Barclay at
North Carolina. ~e-'''- -
Bass, the third assistant coach
to leave the Redskins for a COL
lege post since the start of the
1852 training grind, broke the
news to ailing Curly Lambeau
yesterday at Doctors Hospital,
where the teams head coach is
recovering from a flu attack.
It came as a surprise to Curly,
although the Redskins were
aware that North Carolina was
interested in signing Bass.
Lambeau, who expects to quit
the hospital tomorrow, now
needs a backf1eld coach to re-
place Sammy Baugh, who retired
as player-coach after Is years in
the pro league to become an as
Sistant at Hardin Simmons, and
a man to fill Bass shoes. The
Redskins lost Backfield Coach
Jerry Neri to Yale last August
before the team broke training
camp at Los Angeles.
Dudley May Return.
Bill Dudley, former Redskins
pack, who also was an assistant
coach at Yale last season, is be-
ing considered for a similar post
with the Washington eleven.
Dudley might be lured back with
a player-coach role, such as
Baugh occupied, but the matter
is still in the negotiating stage.
Lambeau'has nobody in mind for
Bass post.
Recommendations for North
Carolina's appointment of Bar
clay, Bass and other members Of

were to be formally presented by

cording to A. w. Hobbs, council

He declined to give any inkling

and he believes the job offers a
little more security.
II hope I'm not making the
wrong decision" Marvin said.
"but only time will tell. We're
going to work hard to develop

Interior City Backs Seward Rehabilitation Request

Tommy Bic returned Thurs day from a trip to Fairbanks where he addressed the Cham Der of Commerce, informing them of the situation in Seward concerning rehabilitation of the railroad and need for new docks.
 Bic was asked to state the case for Seward, which he did both at the meeting and on the radio. The Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce as well as the All Alaska Chamber immediately sent wires and letters to Wash ington in support of the rehab- ilitation of Seward.
 Reaction in Fairbanks toward the recent hearing on waterfront affairs held in Seattle two weeks ago is, that the city is deeply angry at the testimony of Seattle men in opposition to the Alaska proposal for national legislation to settle shipping disputes. Se- attle had concurrcd with Alaska in the need for legislation until the time of the hearing at which the attitude of that city had completely changed. All Alas kan business still insists on leg islation as the only solution to the problem.
 Alaskans in general and Fair banks and Seward in particular are so bitter over Seattle's atti- tude at the Congressional hear ing, that Frank Beaver, manager of the Seattle Chamber made a special trip to Fairbanks, which was the reason for the meeting there and the invitation to MT. Bic to attend Over 150 people were at the luncheon to discuss the matter.
