Roy Campanella's
Shape In Doubt

NEW YORK Up - Whether an
able-bodied Roy Campanella will
be behind the plate for the Brook
lyn Dodgers next season won't be
known for another four or six
six weeks at least.
1t will be that long before doc
tors can test the results of the
second operation in six months ON
the veteran catcher's left hand.
After the four.hour operation
yesterday, it was announced there
was an excellent chance"-but no
out-and-out guarantee - Campy's
hand would return to normal.
DR.. Samuel Schenkman, a neuro.
surgeon who performed the oper-
alton, and DR.. Lyndon Hill, who
assisted, offered this appraisal but
added: mo more will be known
for from four to six weeks. when
further tests will be made"
The first operation, in Nav. re.
moved a bone chip. The surgery
sldelined Campanella for four
weeks and left the hand partially
paralyzed.
Electro impulse tests showed
the paralysis was caused by adj
nesionS on the ulnar nerve.

In addition, Williamson will al
ternate two lines against the Buck

effective, with none of the four
victims able to score in the Sec
ond half. Ohio States line has been
equally strong, giving up only one
touchdown on the ground in vic.
tories over Indiana, California, Il
linois and Iowa.
Williamson discounts the idea
that Ohio State holds jinx over
his teams, despite the fact he has
yet to win from a Buckeye team
in five tries. His 1851 team gained
a sc tie, but the Badgers lost the
other four, including a 20 Is

that the agreement with me made
in good faith ... has now been
violated"
At the Chicago meeting, Roy
Mack was given until last Monday
to sell his stock to johnson and
thus complete a deal of nearly
four million dollars that would
wipe out the Athletics indebted
ness and send them to an en-
thusiastic Kansas City. y
Roy's brother Earle and father
Connie long had pressed for the
sale to Johnson.
Before last Mondays deadline,
a group of eight Philadelphia men
bought the stock from the Macks
and announced they had saved the
AS for their own city, where the
club has been for 54 years.
johnson was left holding the bag.
But the American League vote
needed to approve the sale to the
Philadelphia syndicate has not
Ieen forthcoming thus far.
League President Will Harridge
has had only one comment: There
will be no statement until the final
papers have been signed for the
purchase of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics."
Art Gallagher, a member of the
syndicate, said in Philadelphia that
he considers Johnson's statement
entirely unwarranted."
GAS l recall it the last thing
Roy said before he left Chicago
was that his final decision de-
pended upon what his family want
ed him to do" said Gallagher.
"And it is clear from his trans
action with our group that his
family prevailed upon him to keep
the AS in Philadelphia, where they
belong"

The ruling affects only CCNY's

All of Miami'S teams, on the 9th.

The ruling dealt a stiff blow to
Miami's football team which is un.
defeated in four games this season.
Miami has bruised past Furman,
Holy Cross, Baylor and Mississippi
State and has been mentioned
prominently for a berth in a post
season bowl game.
Miami drew the probationary pc

Sports
Roundup

NEW YORK R-The sports fans
of Philadelphia still are capable
of cracking weak jokes, which is
admirable under the circum-
stances. They say that if the citi-
zens of Kansas City feel let down
over not getting the Athletics, they
would be happy to ship them out
a football team and call it square.
They'll even give them a choice
among Penn, Villanova and Tenn
pie, three gridiron teams of ma
tional repute.
It's only gag, of course, point
ing up the fact that things are
bad all over in the Quaker City.
The three football teams, all. of
which have at one time or an
other been renowned in their re-
spective classes, have yet to win
a game this season. They have
lost IL, and the point score against
them going into Saturdays con-
tests stands at 366 to 50. The sus-
picion is that this constitutes a
record for three-team city.
There is no indication that the
end is In sight. Penn is a strong
favorite to keep its winIess streak
unsullied against Navy this week,
while Villanova and Temple SIM
llarly are expected to submit to
Houston and Brown, respectively.

CHICAGO R-The stock-buying
syndicate of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, sweating out word of an
American League blessing that
would make their deal official to
keep the club in Philadelphia, to-
day was threatened with a big
damage suit by Arnold Johnson.
The Chicago industrialist de-
clared he felt "wronged by the
Philadelphia group who so sudden
ly appeared on the scene," and
has placed the matter in the
hands of a Philadelphia law firm
to study the advisability of filing
suit.
'In view of the indicated ad-
vance ticket sale Gin Kansas City,
of almost two million dollars, the
measure of my damages should be
substantial" Johnson said. 1.-The
suit would be not only for the cash
damages sustained by me, but al
so on the grounds that this group

OF the CONTRACT which I made in
good faith for the purchase of the

In a Chicago meeting nine days
ago, American League club own
ers voted to shift the AS fran
chise from Philadelphia to Kansas
City.
"Roy Mack at that time agreed
without equivocation to sell the
team to me for transfer to Kansas
City," Johnson said in a statement.

Cavilan Camp Cries Robbers"
AS Saxton Gains Championship
"ItSteenks,"
Says GaUiIan
after Battle
By MURRAY ROSE

fHlA h Johnny
Saxton won the welterweight title
from Kid Gavilan last night.
Today, with cries Of robbers
from the Gavilan camp echoing
around him, Saxton went into
court to face a possible 15-day
sentence. He is charged with IL
traffic violations.
81 hope the Judge viii give me
a break" said the 24-year-old New
Yorker.
Gavilan insisted he got no
breaks last night when a highly
controversial unanimous 15-round
decision relieved him of the 147-
pound crown he had worn for 314
years.
While the referee and two judges
were in accord and had Saxton
the champion by the 18th round
barring a knockout, 20 of 22 box
ing writer's at the ringside had
Gavilan the winner in what had to
be the worse fight of his career.
Gavilan, alternately crying and
screaming and alternately retiring
and unretiring. sobbed after the
fight:
"People don't talk for nothing.
l know from the first round on
that I cannot win. The referee he
gives Saxton everything his way, l
no want to fight no more. give
my left hand-I give my right
hand to the Pennsylvania commits
sion. Everything steenk."
''The Keed, he is robbed"
screamed his manager, Angel Lo-
pez. "The Keed, he is robbed. I
know he have to win big but after
he take last three rounds / figure
for sure they must give him the
decision. l say to the Keed, They
cannot take it away from you.'

sylvania commission. They can
take the championship and keep
it."
at was lousy, stinking fight"
said Chairman Frank Wiener of
the Pennsylvania Athletic Com
mission. eff Gavilan fought like
I've seen him in the past, Saxton
wouldn't have won"
He made that statement to
Frank (Blinky) Palermo, manager
of the champion, and Jim Norris,
president of the International Box
ing Club in the Saxton's dressing
room.
Later, Wiener said, eff Gavi-
lan'S handlers are still crying rob-
bers, crooks and fix after they
have had time to cool off, it will
cost them. Both Gavilan and Sax
ton stunk out the house. Let Sax
ton take his title to Syracuse and
figh Carmen BasiliO, and let Gavi-
Ian fight anywhere but in Philadel-
phia."
There was more action and con-
fusion in Gavilan's dressing room,
including fist fight, than there
was in the flight"
Wiener frowns on return bout
contracts and there was none re.
corded with the commission, How
ever, Lopez, in between saying
the Keed was through fighting and
then maybe not, insisted he had
an ironclad contract for a return
bout in New York City within so
days. Palermo, who had told re-
porters that Lopez was correct, re-
versed his field. He said Saxton
might face Basilio, the No. l con-
tender, first, with the winner to
meet Gavilan. Then he said it's
up to Norris.
Norris said, "We'll see what hap
pens. l think Gavilan should fight
as a middleweight."
Meanwhile, Saxton, bewildered
but happy, said, 81 fought the fight
like l planned-to win. ! had him

SECSteps
Workouts
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUuS, HdTu WORKOUTS were the
rule Wednesday as Southeastern
Conference coaches prepared their
teams for Saturdays games.
The top contest still appeared
to be the Mississippi Arkansas
match at Little Rock. Mississippi
drilled on defense against the
Arkansas sin gle wing attack.
Coach John Vaught also ordered
some work on offense to give more
power and precision to the ground
game. Quarterbacks Eagle. Day
Houston Patton were outstanding
in a long punting drill.
Alabama's Crimson Tide also
concentrated on defense, with the
freshman running Mississippi State
plays. Trainer Fred PoSey said
injured tackle Ed Culpepper and
fullbacks Jim Ward and Jerry
Chiapparelli would not be able to
play Saturday.
Mississippi State went through
a rough As minute scrimmage
after working on punts and kick
offs.
The Florida Gators scrimmaged
for an hour and a half in the
afternoon and then worked under
the lights at night "just to get
used to catching and handling the
ball." said. Coach Bob Woodruff.
Fullback Malcolm Hammack was
back in uniform for the first time
since the Clemson game. Wood
ruff said he still had a limp but
just might be in shape for Louis
lana State University.
Louisiana State in turn was en-
couraged by fullback Lou Deutsch-
mann's performance in a full
speed offensive scrimmage. He al
ternated with Win Turner and
showed some of his old running
form. Deutschmann has been lin
tied to occasional action this sea-
son by an ankle injury.
Tulane concentrated on passing
in a long scrimmage that had to
be completed under the lights, in
dicating plans were in the making
for an aerial attack against Geor-
gia. Fred Wilcox, Bruce Waters
and Earl Hubley alternated at
quarterback on offense. Wilcox,
halfback Willie Hof and Otis Gil
more and fullback Bob Saia made
up the No. backfield.
The Georgia Bulldogs went
through vigorous drill and Coach
Wallace Butts said sophomores in
the defensive line were the real
reason opponents scored only 43
points so far this season. He
praised the work of ends Roy Will
kins and Laneair Roberts, tackles
Pud Mosteller, John Luck and
Jimmy Brown, and guards Wayne
Dye and Tony Cushenberry.
Kentucky came up with an as
sortment Of injuries after getting
through the first half of the sea-
son with relatively few mishaps.
Coach Blanton Collier said co :
captains Joe Koch, guard, and
Harry Kirk, a tackle, would miss
the Georgia Tech game.
Georgia Techs first, second and
third stringers worked on often
sive and defensive assignments in
dummy scrimmage in preparation
for Kentucky.
Auburn held what Coach Ralph
Jordan said was one of the best
workouts of the season. Fob James
ran especially well in the left half
position. Jordan said tackles James
Warren and Paul Terry probably
would see "good amount of ac-
ton" against Florida State Satur-
day.
The Tennessee Vols emphasized
passing, pass protection, downfield
blocking and running in a speedy
scrimmage prepping for Dayton
(Ohio).

through most of the activity.
This observer had Gavilan in
front, 8-4-3. The officials voted for
Saxton this way: Referee Pete
Panteleo, 9-6; Judge Jimmy Nina,
1852, and Judge Nat Lopinson, s.
81. They all gave Gavilan the last
three rounds.
When they didn't pose and wait
for the other to lead, the boxers
huffed and puffed at close range.
There were no knockdowns, nat
urally, and few solid blows were
landed.
Gavilan weighed 145Is, Saxton
146A.
