ANNAPOLIS, April 3.-The
Naval Academy announced today
that Don Lange, its free-scoring
basketball star, is no longer eligi-
BILE for intercollegiate COMPETE
ton.
A season of play as freshman
at the Chicago Branch of the
University of Illinois back in
1918 cut short Lange's basket
ball days at the Academy. The
23-year-old Chicagoan has an
other year to go before gradu-
ating.
Coach Ben Carnevale had
counted heavily on the 6-foot-4
hook-shot wizard as a mainstay
next season. John Clune, who
paired with LANCE to smash all
Academy point records, gets his
commission in June.
Lange'S status has been under
study for some time, the ques-
ton evidently Ringing on the
nature of the Chicago branch.
Established during World War II
on the Navy Pier there, the
school now has an enrolment of
some 1000.
LANCE hadn't played in high
school and wasn't outstanding at
the university branch. The Acad-
envy said he played on the varsity
as a freshman. He drew atten-
ton after he entered the Navy
and played on service teams.

Oxford Surprises
Cambridge Crew
On Choppy Thames
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, April 8. - Oxford
sprinted through rough water at
the halfway mark of the boat
race against Cambridge today,
took a two-length lead and
rowed on to an upset victory
in the Tooth renewal of the crew
classic before 10000 spectators.
OXford's margin of victory was
Az lengths. The time was 1928
for the 4-mile 40O-yard course
up the Thames River from Put
ney to Mortlake.
The Thames was only slightly
choppy most of the route, but
at Surrey Bend, near the half
way mark, the dark water
roughed up and began rolling
and bucking the thin shells.
oxford held a lead of about
two lengths going into the bend
and was hitting a 31-per-minute
stroke. Cambridge was working
on a 29-year-minute rate.
Cambridge almost caught a
crab just as Oxford went into a
sprint and swept ahead. The
added speed apparently helped
the oxford shell skim the wor-

CHICAGO, April s. Some
coaching from the sidelines
played a part in bringing Bobo
Olson through to a 15-round de-
cision over Kid Gavilan last
night.
GeSticulating throughout the
middleweight title scrap at Chi
cago Stadium was Sid Flaherty,
astute manager of the 160-pound
champion.
Flaherty, the gentleman farm
er from San Francisco who has
81 professional fighters under his
tutelage, called the signals from
Bobo'S corner. Sid constantly
motioned with his hand for Oh
son to come in to Gavilan.
"Sure, I kept waving him to
come forward" Flaherty said.
"The only way we could win was
for Olson to keep coming in.
OlSo knew that. I just sort of
sat there in the corner and kept
reminding him of it. He watches
me very closely all the time and
does what I say"
Olson, a tireless, colorless
fighter In workouts, emerged
from his shell at ring time to
drape an orchid lei over Gavi-
lan's neck as he stepped through
the ropes.
II just did on the spur of the
moment" the Hawaii born Oh
son said. "Gavilan acted sur
prised, like he thought I was
going to punch him"
Olson said Gavilan never

Record Against Tribe
indicates Giants Have
Solved So Troubles
BY the Associated Press

Ever so quietly-mostly be-
cause Manager Leo Durocher has
had little to say-the New York
Giants have been molding them
selves into a team that could be
a threat in the National League
race.
The Giants don't figure to
win the pennant. Brooklyn,
Milwaukee and st. Louis seem
too strong. But the Giants may
be over the trouble they had last
year because of Sal Maglie's bad
back and a general breakdown
Of morale.
They've been cutting the Cleve-
land Indians all over the lot in
their spring series and yesterday
shut out the Tribe, 40, behind
some really fine pitching by
Johnny Antonelli and John Nc
Call.
Antonelli's performance is i'm
portant. The young lefthander
was obtained in the Bobby
Thomson trade during the win
ter. If he gains the control he
needs, the parting of Thomson
won't be so hard to take.
Durocher, of course, is feeling
good. The record against the In
dians, supposedly seeking to Gust
the Yankees from first place in
the American League, stands at
1914.
Pitching Staff Set.
Antonelli. along with Ruben
Gomez. Jim Hearn and Maglie,
figure to be the big four of the
Giant staff. with Larry Jansen,
Don Liddle and Marv Grissom
set for the spot assignments.
Hoyt Wilhelm, Dave KoSlo,
George Spencer and Al Corwin
are in the bullpen and that staff
is ready for the opening day
right now. Mccall also will stick.
Davey Williams, the second
baseman who has been bothered
by a back ailment. was the star
in yesterdays triumph. He hit
a three-run homer off Bob Lemon
in the fifth inning and that was
all the Giants needed.
The Dodgers, who have been
having their troubles, ran into a
meatgrinder at Birmingham,
where they acted as punching
bags for the Braves. Charley
Grimm's men won the game,
17-2, and imagine what they
would have done with Thomson.
Gene Conley became the first
Braves hurler to go all the way.
He yielded only five hits. Carl
Erskine and Joe Black were the
recipients of Milwaukee's blast
ing. Joe Adcock, Ed Mathews
and Jim Pendleton homered for
the Braves.
Pierce, Parnell Effective.
Stan Hack took his second
look at the Chicago Cubs and
this time he must have dressed
after the game in a happier state
of mind. They were sad, indeed,
in dropping a 6-1 decision to the
Baltimore Orioles Thursday.
Yesterday, Ralph Kiner. Bill
Serena and Luis Marquee hit
home runs and the Cubs won,
8-6. Warren Hacker got the
decision over Lou Kretlow. Vic
Wertz homered for the Orioles.
A smooth seven-inning job on
the mound by Billy Pierce, a
home run by Chico Carrasquel
and a scoreless mopup job by
Harry Dorish spelled a 81 tri-
umph for the White Sox over
the Cardinals. Harvey Haddix.
