Green Bay Bosses in No Rush
To Name Ronzun1s Successor

Dissatisfaction with the lack
of Green Bay victories reached
a peak this season when a team
regarded as a possible title con-
tender won only two games and
tied another in it's first 10 tests
of a 12-game schedule. Two
days ago the Packers were
trimmed by the Detroit Lions,
34-15, and yesterday Ronzani
got the ak.
Almost from the start of Ron
zani'S tenure in January of 1850
there have been reports of dis
satisfaction on the club. There
have been frequent changes in
assistant coaches, and rumors
Of diSSension on the squad have
been circulated.
Reports are that the Execu-
tive Committee decided earlier
this week to get rid of Ronzani,
and was awaiting only the
proper moment. The loss to De-
troit in a nationally televised
game brought that opportunity.

Blue Devils topping conference
standings with a 40 record.
Orange Bowl-bound Maryland
closed out it's season last week
after setting a 80 conference
mark.
A Tar Heel triumph would
clinch third place for North Car
olina while a loss would force a
tie with Wake Forest and South
Carolina.
Duke sought a decisive victory
to ease the sorrow of a season
darkened by two losses and one
tie. The Blue Devils, who earlier
graced the Nations top 10 teams
rankings, fell before Army, IA
13; Georgia Tech, 1910, and
struggled to a ScoreleSs tie with
Navy. Trimming North Caro-
lima would give Duke a 7-2-1
record for the season.
North Carolina's football re-
generation opened with three
victories for Coach George Bar
clay early this season. Then
the Tar Heels dropped five in a
row before trouncing Virginia
last week.

rack up his oath straight victory.
Instead he suffered his first loss
in Is months. the second defeat
of his career against 33 wins,

downcast Perez. II just couldn't
get going against him."
'It went the way we figured"
said Gallardo. 81 knew from the
first fight that I'd have to keep
on top of him. He's wide open
for rights. He hurt me in the
first round the last time (an
eight-round TKO won by Perez

time"
Happiest man in the Gallardo
camp. however. was Trainer
Chalky Wright. The old feather
weight king said the It's odds
favoring Perez were "crazy," and
that maybe the Broadway wise
guys will learn something for a
change"

fight from the opening bell when

a proposal to permit professional

AAU's drive to raise funds for
the promotion of amateur sports
also will be discussed. A drive
for a $500,000 fund started early
this year, but only $4,000 has
