Scortichini Battles
Basilio 10 Draw
RN the Associnfed Press

MIAMI. Fla. Jen. 16.-Italo
Scortichini. a 3-to-1 underdog,
battled Carmen Basilio, top con-
tender for Kid Gavilan's welter-
weight title, to a draw tonight
in a nationally -televised boxing
match.
Basilio, from Syracuse, N. Y.
actually compiled one more
point than Scortichini under the
MIA point system of scoring, but
one judge gave it to Scortichini,
the other called it even and the
referee scored it for Basilio.
Scortichini weighed 1924.
Basilio 149A.
Basilio carried the fight to
Scortichini most of the time, ex-
cept when the Italian suddenly
stopped his back pedalling and
charged in for a furry. Italo
gained the draw by pouring it
on in the late rounds, when
Basilio appeared to tire.
Scortichini won the last round
on all three cards and won the
ninth on two and was given a
draw on the other.
Both fighters acted more like
heavyweights than welters, con-
stantly circling and waiting for
an opening rather than jabbing
and mixing it up frequently.

Nebraska Officials
Back GIassfold, But
Players Push Revolt
BY the Assoeiosed Press

LINCOLN. Nebr.. Jan. 10
Coach Bill Glassford tonight re-
ceived vote of confidence from
the University of Nebraska Ath-
letic Board and the university's
Board of Regents.
The vote for GlaSsford was
given in the face of a demand
by 35 members of last years
varsity and freshman squads
that the removal of Glassford
was a must"
The official nod to the en-
battled coach by no means ended
the player revolt against him.
1t brought immediate declara-
tions from five members of last
years squad that they would
not play any more football
under Glassford.
They were: Bob Smith, start
ing left halfback: Bob Oberlin,
starting center; Max Kitzelman,
a lineman who played in most
games; Jack Braley, sophomore
end. and Dan Brown, junior
quarterback.
Says Injuries Were Ignored.
The players spoke out at
meeting at which six of the squad
issued signed statements con-
corning their opposition to Glass
ford. The six were: Brown,
Smith, Kitzelman. Oberlin, Bill
Halloran. a lineman. and Jim
Cedardahl. former halfback who
quit football for baseball after
dispute with the coach over
which sport he would follow.
In general. the statements of
the players asserted that Glass
ford had often ignored injuries
the players had suffered and
had been insulting in his COM
ments to them at practice.
Glassford. under present indi-
cations, would have short squad
of about half of his freshmen
and a nucleus of five lettermen
even if the entire group of IS
who petitioned for his custer
were to skip the game.
Glassford said he appreciated
the action of the two university
boards and added: Nov, let's
all join hands and whip this Sit
uation. It can be done. I still
have only the highest regard for
all players I have coached at
Nebraska
Statement Issued.
A statement was issued by
Acting Chancellor John K. Sell
leck with the concurrence of the
Board of intercollegiate Ath-
letics and all members of the
Board of Regents save one who
could not be reached. 1t said the
athletic board today "unani-
mously voted to fully and in
good faith comply With all pro-
visions of it's contract with Mr..
Glassford. :"
1t promised that Glassford will
have complete support of his
university" IN attempting to re
establish wholesome relations
with his entire squad"

Tennis Association
LiberaIizes lis Rules
For U. 5. Amateurs
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Crest-
fallen by another Davis Cup de-
feat at the hands of Australia,
the United States Lawn Tennis
Association today relaxed it's
amateur rules so players can
work for sporting goods COM
panies and serve as instructors
under an annual salary.
This unprecedented decision
by the USLTA meant that for
the first time the United States
will conform with the rules of
the International Lawn Tennis
Federation. which specifically
gives its members permission to
work for sporting goods COM
spanies. The United States has
been the only country which
has refused its amateurs such
a right.
"The USLTA has taken a step
in the right direction" said
President James H. Bishop of
Culver. Ind. THE scrapping of
our amateur rules in favor of
the international code should re-
suit in more youngsters becom-
ing interested in making tennis
ltheir careers. It certainly will
give our tennis players a greater
incentive"
Kramer Proposal Studied.
The USLTA also agreed to
study proposal by Sidney B.
Wood to sponsor a 35-week
round-robin tournament among
the top 10 amateurs in the coun-
try. The group likewise took
under advisement a suggestion
by Jack Kramer to permit the
former amateur champion to
teach and train young players
for possible Davis Cup competi-
ton.
The association also welcomed
a proposal made by the United
States Junior Chamber of Com
merce to sponsor boys tourna-
ments in every state. It ap-
proved a schedule of events for
1854. but rejected a proposal to
increase the maximum expense
money permitted a player from
the current SIS per day to $40.
The membership, after listen
ing to a treasurer's report by DR..
S. Ellsworth Davenport. jr.. of
New York. in which he disclosed
that the treasury had lost money
during the past fiscal year. voted
unanimously in favor Of relax
ing the amateur code.
"Only in winning the Davis
Cup" DR.. Davenport warned.

help from Jack Walsh, who
started his first game and broke
the back of the American U. zone
defense with his set shots, which
accounted for most of his l6
points.
Georgetown started cold, ap-
parently baffled by the AU de-
fense. Late in the first quarter
the Eagles had built up a 1877
advantage. However, George
town was playing so poorly at
this point it was obvious that AU
should have made more of its
opportunity if it hoped to beat
the Hoyas for the first time in
nine tries.
Georgetown pulled up within
a point at the end of the first
quarter at 1914 and fell be-
hind few moments later when
John Selby made good on a fol-
low up. That was AUS last lead,
however. and the Hoyas scored
the last six points of the second
period to make it 1928 at half
time.
