By the Assoeiated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 49,
Eddie Chavez, popular San Fran
cisco lightweight, won a close
split decision from Jimmy Car
ter, lightweight champion, in q
non-title exhibition last night.
Minutes later, the only official
who voted for Carter died of a
heart attack as he was leaving
the arena. He was Richard
Billy Burke, 46, who had ref
creed the preliminaries, then
judged the main event.
Burke voted 56-54 for Carter
Referee Fred Apostoli, former
middleweight champion, saw it
56-54 for Chavez. Judge Ray
Flores had 1t even closer, 551a to

The Associated Press scored it
56-54 for Carter.
Champions Eye Cut.
Chavez, 1873, inflicted a cut
over the champions right eye in
the fourth round. Carter, 1856,
appeared bothered from then on
and not fighting in his best
style.
In the 10th round, in what
looked like desperation effort,
the champ tried slugging it out
with 22-year-old Eddie, but
couldn't land the stopper, There
were no knockdowns.
Chavez was jubilant. but con-
ceded it was very close.
Carter said, II thought I had
him. He never hurt me q bit,
but I sure hurt him plenty. He
never had me in O bit of
trouble"
The champion scored with q
solid right to the head in the
eighth and staggered Eddie with
a left hook in the ninth as he
started a late rally. There was
little question Chavez led
through the first seven rounds.
Carter's manager, Willie
Ketchum, said he figured the
champion had won by six points
He blamed defeat on the cut
over Jimmy'S eye.
Carter was a As favorite.

Last spring he lost a cham

screamed he'd never fight in

He won the title by defeating

FORT WAYNE. Ind, Jan. 13
East and West squads Of the
National Basketball Association
can play their annual all-star
game here tonight without TAX
ing time out to worry about their
jobs.
The NBA Board of Governors
took no action on franchise
changes at a meeting last night
Maurice Podoloff. league presi-
dent. said rumors of teams drop
ping out 'have been exaggerat-
ed" and he expects the league to
finish the season with its present
10-team Setup.
The governors talked over the
possibility of helping financially
ailing members with television
deals, but made no definite ar
rangements. They were to re-
sumo the discussion today.
Three Weak Financially.
One suggestion was to shift
some indianapolis home games
to Cleveland for telecasting. The
other teams not paying their
way are Philadelphia and Mil
waukee.
Doxie Moore resigned as super
visor of officials because his new
appointment as Indiana State
director Of conservation won't
leave him time to travel.
The All-Star game tonight in
Fort Wayne's new Coliseum will
be the first played in the Mid

The 21st annual Metropolitan
1nterscholastic Invitation basket
ball tournament, which winds up
the high school season in and
around Washington. will be held
in the big new Washington-Lee
High gymnasium in Arlington
this year.
Dates will be March 2, 8, 5
and 6.
Washington-Lee will be host
and sponsor for the tourney
which was originated by The
Evening Star and run under its
sponsorship until this year.
The tournament has grown to
the point where it is an estab-
lished feature of the schoolboy
basketball season here and The
Star has turned it over to the
schools to conduct. Pete Rock
we'll, athletic director at WI. is
chairman of the Tournament
Committee which includes school
officials from all interested
groups in this area.
WI Accommodates 5000.
Washington-Lee is an ideal
place to hold the tourney. Its
new gymnasium has a seating
capacity of 5000. In recent
years the tourney was held at
the University of Maryland be-
cause no high school had seating
capacity to handle the crowds
the event always drew.
Under the new sponsorship
there will be no change from the
tournament plan used in recent
years. Eight leading teams will
be invited and financially the
same system will be used that
provides a welcome jackpot fol
school athletic budgets.
Student tickets to the tourney
will be sold at all competing
schools and at any other school!

Illinois Game

BY the Asseeioisd Press

NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-KansaS
State holds sway in the Associ-
ated Press basketball poll today
for the third straight week, with
the same cast Of supporting
teams, but the old order is likely
to change considerably in the

800 points in votes from sports

never equaled on his home court.
Seton Hall in Danger.
Seton Hall, still in second place
in the poll. although its lead over
LaSalle shrunk from "a to 10
points, faces an even more i'm
mediate danger than Kansas
State. The Setonians, who have
won Is straight. meet seventh
ranked Fordham, also undefeat-
ed tomorrow night in a game
featuring the last two major
teams with perfect records. Ford
ham is counting on its home
floor advantage to stop Seton
Hall and rack up its 18th
straight.
Illinois, for the second straight
week. failed to receive a single
first-place ballot. but piled up
enough supporting votes to retain
fourth place.
After q humping 83-58 vic.
tory over Northwestern last
night, the Illini next face sixth
ranked Indiana in the Big Tens
game of the week Saturday at
Indiana. Illinois has a 5-1 rec
ord in the conference. Indiana's
convincing 1868 victory over
Ohio State last night was the
Hoosier'S sixth without loss to
Big Ten teams.
Kansas figured in the only
change affecting the top 10 this
week. The Jayhawkers upset
Oklahoma A & M, 65-53, last
week, and the Aggies thereby fell
from fifth place to ninth.
Washington Ranks Fifth.
Their misfortune was WASH
