Lineup Of 137 Colts
And Ge|dings Named
For Kentucky Derby
BY the Assoeiosed Press

LOUISVILLE. KY. Mar. g.
The Kentucky Derby, Americas
most famous horse race, will
draw its 1854 field from 1877
colts and geldings-as usual, the
most promising 3-year-olds in
the land.
The list of nominations for
the 80th Derby. to be run May
at Churchill Downs. was an
nounced by the track today.
1t included Turn-to, Porter
house. Hasty Road. James Ses-
sion-all the big names in this
years crop.
All. that is. expect the FLIES.
Not one member of the weaker"
sex was nominated for this
gruelling race. the longest early
spring test for sophomore speed
sters.
AS in the past. the Derby will
cover a mile and a quarter and
carry a purse of 100000 plus
nomination and entry fees.
Juvenile Champions Named.
For international flavor, the
nominations include the juvenile
champions from both sides of
the Atlantic-Mrs. Liz Persons
Porterhouse. king of Americas
2-year- olds last year, and Ray
Bell and Elwood Johnston's The
Pie King. the imported English
champion.
Even more prominent on the
list, however. is the name of
Turn-to, Harry F. Guggenheim's
winner Of the recent Flamingo
Stakes. Of his form this year,
Turn-to is the current favorite.
Guggenheim won in an upset
last year when his Dark Star be-
came the only horse to defeat Ma
tive Dancer.
PorterhouSe followers are con-
ceding Turn-to nothing, however.
Those who watched the sleek
brown colt walk off with juvenile
honors last year point to recent
smashing victory at Santa Anita
as evidence the horse has lost
none of his sharpness.
Although not yet up to his
potential form. Hasty House

NEW YORK. Mar. 6.-1t took
Paddy DeMarco nine years Of
fighting to learn self-control. but
when he did. it brought him the
world lightweight championship.
Paddy. a cocky, flat-nosed little
guy from the tough Navy Yard
section of Brooklyn. was sup
posedly on the downgrade as a
boxer. He won the title last
night by decisiyely outpointing
Jimmy Carter in Is rugged
rounds at Madison Square Gar
den.
1t was an astounding upset In
the eyes of the crowd Of $3.50.
which rooted DeMarco in, but
Paddy had a simple and logical
explanation for it.
1T was my smarteSt fight" he
said. II held control, did what
I was told. boxed and jabbed
him"
Carter Bewildered.
Carter, usually the calm, con-
fident fighter, apparently didn't
know what to make of all this.
He was counting on DeMarco to
fight in his usual style-bull-like
rushes and wild swinging that
left him open to hard counter
punching. Paddy just didn't.
The upshot was that Carter.
the low-starter, never could
catch up and DeMarco breezed
in to win the unanimous decision
of Referee Ruby Goldstein and
the two judges.
Goldstein's card, the closest,
gave it to DeMarco, Us, with
three rounds even. Judge Harold
Barnes scored nine rounds for
DeMarco and six for Carter.
while Judge Arthur Aidala made
it 9-5-1 in favor Of Paddy. The
Associated Press had it 10-4-1
for DeMarco.
Financial Reward Small.
The victory didn't bring any
great financial reward for De-
Marco, who at Is has been
fighting professionally for nine
years. But it did bring a lot of
satisfaction.
Oddly, it was DeMarco who
was supposed to get the title
shot when Carter won it from
Ike Williams three years ago.

Carter Upset 'Smortest Fight
Title Is DeMorco's Diploma
For Course in Sef-ControI

But he was taken sick and
Carter got the chance.
When DeMarco finally got his
chance, the experts made Carter
a IA favorite and were picking
him to win by a knockout as he
had in three title defenses last
year.
DeMarcO Takes Charge.
DeMarco, with his handlers
repeatedly warning him not to
get excited and to fight as he
had planned. took charge almost
from the start. He piled up an
early lead and when Carter tried
desperately for a knockout in
the closing rounds, Paddy did a
masterful job of outmaneuvering
the champion.
From the sixth round, when
he opened a cut over Jimmy's
left eye. DeMarco was in control.
Carter claimed the cash resulted
from a butt. but to most ring
siders it looked as if smashing
right had done the damage.
Paddy had a reputation for
using his head carelessly and
he was warned once by Referee
Goldstein, but it wasn't often
that he put his head down and
charged in his old style. A left
jab was his most accurate and
effective weapon.
Return Bout Pledged.
Under contract terms. Carter
will get a return bout within 90
days and, off their showing last
night. they may do a little better
business at the gate.
The slim crowd paid $23,727,
to which was added $4,000 radio
and television money. Of this.
40 per cent went to Carter and
20 per cent to DeMarco. Carriers
manager, Willie Ketchum, said
he had been guaranteed about
$4,000 by President Jim Norris
Of the International Boxing Club.

CoIoniaIs TangIing
WithRichmond, Team
They Defeated Twice
By George Huber
Stor Staff CORRESPONDENT

MORGANTOWN. w. Va, Mar.
GA George Washington bas-
ketball team that has regained
its scoring punch and ability to
play smoothly under pressure
goes for the, Southern Conference
championship tonight against a
Richmond team it beat twice
during the regular season.
The Colonials, who last won
the title in 1943 and who didn't
even play in the championship
tournament last year, are favored
to do it once again on the neu-
trail court at West Virginia Uni
versity here despite the upset
style of play the Spiders dis
played in eliminating Furman
last night.
Last night the Colonials recov-
cred from the complacent atti-
tude they showed the night be-
fore against Washington and Lee
to get past an extremely tough
West Virginia five. 1914. in a
game that was a thriller all the
way and which wasn't safely in
GW's grasp until the closing
minutes.
Good as was that game, it was
surpassed by Richmond's 1881
upset victory in overtime over
the Furman team that had beat
en- it twice during the regular
season. The crowd of $500 at
Mountaineer gym that expected
to go home early was treated to
a game that eventually was sent
into overtime at ISIS.
Foul Shots Win for Richmond.
The Spiders won it as little
Warren Mills, their 5-foot-9
captain, sank six foul shots in
the last 2 minutes of overtime
to put his team in the finals
against George Washington at 8
o'clock tonight.
In earlier games this year. CIV
topped Richmond twice by 81-67
scores.
The Richmond Furman game
climaxed an evening in which
Center Joe Holup of George
Washington tied the Southern
Conference tournament record
of 40 points in one game while
leading the Colonials to their
victory over West Virginia.
Eighteen of his points were in
% attempts from the foul line,
both those figures breaking tour
nament records set by Bernie
Janicki of Duke against Mary
land last year.
The 40 points he scored last
night matched the tournament
record set by Gene Shue of
Maryland against Wake Forest
last year.
CIV Plays In Spurts.
George Washington played
good, basketball in spurts last
night against a West Virginia
five that was vastly improved
over the team the Colonials beat
by a 1O6-75 margin in the sea-
son opener nearly three months
ago.
1t was amazing that Joe Holup
came up with as many points
as he did last night so closely
guarded was he by the Noun
taineers. Coach Red Brown Of
West Virginia set up zone de-
Tense that surrounded Holup
under the basket. and it seemed
next to impossible that Holup's
teammates could get the ball
into him. AS it was. Joe got Is
chances to shoot. including re-
bounds. and made IL of them.
Holup wasn't the whole show,
although he was a big part of
it, and Corky Devlin helped
nightly with accurate shooting
from the outside. He made eight
of 10 long shots plus three fouls
for 10 points.

The recent 1854 conference

theme was Religions Answer to

meeting was panel discussion

The Catholic vocations rally in
Los Angeles was sponsored by

The Week in Religion

American churches, Protestant
and Roman Catholic alike. have
been laying more emphasis on
programs to guide young people
toward religious vocations and
related service jobs.
Typical was the first confer
ence on Christian Vacations for
Young People, just concluded at
Union Theological Seminary in
New York, and a vocations rally
for young Catholics of the Los
Angeles Archdiocese.
More than $50 teen-agers from
the New York metropolitan area
attended the New York confer
ence, which Union Seminary Of
ficials hope to make an annual
event..
The youths came from senior
high school groups of 80
churches representing 10 Prot
eStant denominations.
They took part in a panel dis
cussion on TYPES of Christian
Service" toured the seminary
and had their questions an
swered by a panel of three
clergymen.
Keynote Address.
The Rev. Frederick Fox of
First Congregational Church,
WilliamStoWn, Mass, said in his
keynote address that the time
is fast approaching when the
church is going to have to go
out on a deadly mission-to
stand up and take some hard
knocks"
Speaking on christian Chal-
lenges in the World Today" Mr..
Fox said that young people could
answer this challenge nowhere
better than in the church"
"All Christian workers are
called upon to lead in commu-
nifty affairs" he continued.
'They have great chance to
stand up for what is best. A
minister or church worker can
use all of his talents all the time.
Anything you do can be useful.
Christian service demands all of
you-all of your imagination, all
of your music, all of your art"
Seminar for Women.
The New York seminary also
is the sponsor of an annual con-
ference on religious vocations for
college women. These confer
ences were instituted last year at
Union to help college women who
plan to enter religious vocations

Barter Trade Preferred.
Would trade with the West be

The answer seems to be that
China would like to increase her
trade with the non-C Communist
world. but not on private enter
prise lines. Government agencies
would provide the channels, and
barter rather than cash deals
are likely to be encouraged.

And the significance of this is,
of course. that it would tend to

banks out Of the market.
Whatever comes out Of the

keynote of the new China.
