? Top Women Athletes Meet
First Time at Touchdown Club

Two Of the worlds greatest
women athletes crossed paths
(by special arrangement for
the first time at the Touchdown
Club yesterday and there
couldn't have been a wider con-
trast.
Petite Barbara Ann Scott,
Canada's 1948 Olympic figure
skating champion. who also won
the world title twice. was in
town for a couple hours in con-
junction with her appearance
with the Hollywood Ice Revue
at Uline Arena next week. She
hurried back to Philadelphia to
rejoin her show and missed the
clubs weekly luncheon.
Babe Zaharias, who is appear
ing at the Sports and Travel
Show at the Armory through
Thursday night, exchanged
pleasantries and posed for pic
lures with the blue-eyed blond
Barbara and then hustled in to
the luncheon to receive stand
ing ovation from Touchdown
Club members.
Miss Scott admitted to "play-
ing at" Babes game of golf but
refused to reveal her average.
On the other hand, Babe. who
dominated the women's track
events in the 1882 Olympics and
has tried her hand at almost
every other sport, surprisingly
never has had on a pair of ice
skates. II leave that sport to
the BIRDS" said Babe, with a
side wink to Barbara.
Babe spoke on her recent
operation and recovery from can
Ger and held the luncheon gath
ering in the palm of her hand
with her breezy, homespun de-
livery. II realized something was
wrong with me-" Babe related,
when I stopped winning the
tournaments by Is strokes and
began winning 'em by two and
three and even losing a few"
Since her recovery early last
winter, Babe has won two tour
naments, on successive week ends
in late January. Also, she now
handles promotion and publicity
for her fellow touring pros since
Freddie Corcoran left the wom-
ems group. Even with this extra
work Babe says she never felt
better.
I'm hitting a golf ball better
today than ever before because
I've got my heart In the game.
I never realized how much golf

Boxers Weigh In,
GoOut for Meal,
Then Fade Away
BY the Asseeietsd Prs.s

HOLYOKE, Mass. Mar. 30.-A
search was on today for Benito
Lopez and Mike Fernandez-the
New York fighters who failed to
return from a meal yesterday be-
fore they were to box at Valley
Arena.
The two welterweights weighed
in at 4::30 pm. and then went
out for a snack. Even police
couldn't find them.
Although both fighters speak
English, their manager doesn't.
All he could tell club officials
was that the pair had no money
with them.
Lopez was scheduled to fight
Tony Dollorfano of Waterbury
Conn, and Fernandez was slated
to 60 against Leo Houle OF
Holyoke on the six-bout card.
Matchmaker Joe McKenna
filled out a five-flght card by
matching Dollorfano against
Houle. Houle won a four-round
decision.

president. secretary and counsel,
were aided by one tardy reporter
consuming the repast. It was
very tasty. Later on, another
reported dropped in and the
group cut UP a few touches.
King told the story of the ne
gotiations, which collapsed as
suddenly as a tired pancake. A
lawyer friend of his. Milton said,
called last Friday at the behest
of Tommy Webb, Washington
sports enthusiast and former
Maryland athlete, to ask if Mar
shall would sell the Redskins.
King said he didn't know, but
that meeting could be arranged
to discuss the matter. So the
luncheon was scheduled.
Webb, as an aside, Is said to
represent a group of Texans in
the matter, and all Texans, as
you know, are automatically
wealthy oil and cattle barons.
1t was no secret that Tommy
has been making inquiries about
a pro football franchise, but just
which one never was clear.
Webb and Dave Cianelli. who
also played football more re-
Gently at Maryland, dropped in
on the National Football League
meeting at Philadelphia in JAM
uary and had a talk with Bert
Bell. the NIL commissioner.
Bell used to sell franchises
wholesale before the boys dis
covered the profits in TV and
radio, and the MarylanderS ap-
parently wanted a used model
in fairly good running condition.
A couple of years ago. the
Texans could have picked up a
franchise in Dallas almost for
the asking when the promoters
in that town gave it up. The
club ultimately was moved to
Baltimore. Mickey Mcbride
unloaded the Cleveland Browns
for 100000 and there was talk
that Tony Morabito would listen
to a reasonable offer for the
San Francisco Forty-Niners. But
that was a couple of years ago.
This newest group didn't come
into the picture until recently.
and apparently it has faded
already. like sun-touched
negative.
Oddly enough. the reporters
had the same thought in mind
when talking to Marshall yeSter-
day.
1T somebody made you a fam
tastic offer for the club. wouldn't
you have to take it? they asked.
NO" the Redskins boss re-
piled II don't want to sell the
club"
Then, taking copy Of the
leagues rules and bylaws in
hand, he added.
1--WE been in this business %

fourthS of this book. Why would
want to get out now?"
Obviously. Marshall has rid
den out some severe financial
storms with the league. fought
some bitter personal feuds with
rival owners, and worked like
