Little Charles Town took a

More Upsets Likely
In Final Program of
Preliminary Round
By Dick o'Brien

With action stepping up in
every class and competition
nearing its height, Golden Glow
ers will complete the preliminary
rounds Of the tournament, spon-
sored by The Star. with a heavy
program at $3.50 tonight at Turn
er's Arena.
After tonight's round, the
tournament shifts to Uline Arena
for the quarterflnals next Thurs
day. The semif1nals will be held
February "a and the finals
March 8.
The third-round results Tues
day night convinced followers of
the Gloves that danger turks in
every class for the champions
and top contenders.
The three nights of prelim-
mary campaigning so far have
seen 81 knockouts and several
startling upsets, including the
defeats of such top-flight war
riors as Joe Davis of Quantico,
the 1854 Eastern Golden Gloves
middleweight ruler, and Billy
Taylor, the 1853 New England
Golden Gloves welterweight king.
This should be sufficient warn
ing to those blue-ribbon cam
paigners who are off to running
starts that there are storm sig
nails ahead in every division.
Three former champions are
on tonight's card.
Butler Faces Bolton.
High on the list of important
engagements tonight is the
light-heavyweight encounter be-
tween Charley Butler, the 1853
Washington Golden Gloves
champion. and Duke Bolton of
the Camp Lejeune Marines. But

stroyer Force at Norfolk.
Belton stands as a definite
threat to Butler, the Metuchen
IN. j. boxer. who won the
Gloves here in 1858, as repre-
sentative Of the Bainbridge
Naval Training Center.
Mark Kavanaugh, the red
headed Marine from Quantico,
also gets his baptism of fire
tonight, meeting formidable
Tommy Barnes of the Northeast
A. C. in the lightweight division.
Kavanaugh was the lightweight
runneup last year to Sonny
Boy Williams.
Running along with Kav-
anaugh and Barnes for light
weight honors in the senior divi-
sion is Nick LaRosa of Buffalo,
who represents Camp Lejeune.

Army Due 10 Follow
Navy Lead, Lift Ban
On Post-Season PLAY

West Point is expected to fol.
low Nays lead and make its
football teams available for bow
games.
Representative Hebert, Demo.
crat, of Louisiana, a member OF
the Military Academy's 18-man
Board of Visitors, will present
resolution today at West Point
granting Army permission to ac-
cept a bowl game bid If one is
forthcoming from a major bowl
Action on the resolution is an
ticipated tomorrow.
The way apparently has been
paved for quick adoption of the
resolution. The proposal has
the backing of Secretary of De-
tense Wilson. Admiral Arthur
Radford. chairman Of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, and other high
Pentagon officials.
Talked With Blaik.
Col. Earl Blaik. Army athletic
director and head football coach,
was a recent visitor to Washing
ton and Representative Hebert
admitted Blaik had conferred
with him.
Navy played in a bowl game
for the first time since 1924 last
January l when it defeated
Mississippi, 2l-0, in the Sugar
Bowl at New Orleans. Navy's
share Of the gate was $160, 900,
but more important from an Of
fetal viewpoint was the stimu-
liant provided Navy recruitment.
The Rose Bowl and Orange
Bowl automatically are elimi-
mated, at least for the imme-
diate future, from inviting
service teams to compete. The
Rose Bowl takes teams from the
Pacific Coast Conference and
Big Ten, while the Orange Bowl
game is played between repre-
sentatives of the Big Seven and
Atlantic Coast Conference.
Hebert at West Point.
The Cotton Bowl takes the
Southwest champion as one of
its teams. Thus the Sugar Bowl
is the only major postseason at
traction which has complete
freedom of choice in extending
invitations.
Hebert, who departed for
West Point this morning, said he
would present bis resolution to-
day, but felt no action would be
taken until tomorrow by the
Board of Visitors, a group of
congressional. military and ci-
william members which acts in an
advisory capacity in shaping
Military Academy policy.
Coach Blaik attended the
Navy Mississippi game and
stated he was "favorably i'm
pressed" by the entire affair.

t.ribJtion. Chief among these
changes which go into effect Sep
TENDER IA when the College begins
it's 10th session is the expansion of
the Colleges curriculum to include
a Division of Liberal Arts Educa-
ton. The Division of Liberal Arts
Education is being added to the
curriculum in answer to extern
sive demands. The new program
will add to the number of courses
in the Areas of Social Science,
Language Arts, Science and Mathe-
MATES, thereby offering an extend
ed opportunity for students en-
rolled in teacher education to en-
rich their experiences through cleo
tive courses. jackson College has
been outstanding in its work in
the preparation of teachers and
although the College will begin
now to offer pre-professional
courses for those students who plan
to enter professional schools to
take such courses as dentistry, law,
medicine, ministry, research work,
social work and theatrical arts, the
College has no future plans for
minimizing it's interest in the field
of teacher education.
Another record breaking fresh
man class is expected to enroll
when the orientation period for
freshmen and transfer students
begins September Ia. This is a
period during which all newcomers
have an opportunity to become
acquainted with their new college
home, their advisors and various
other activities which will make
college life more successful and
more enjoyable for them. The
week will close with the annual
get acquainted party at which
time new students will meet all
faculty and staff members of the
College. Upper classmen will begin
registration Monday, September
10. Faculty seminars will begin
Monday, September II.
A major addition to the Col
lege facilities which will be avail
able during the school year is the
new science building which will be
modern in every respect. Although
functioninal in every detail, beauty
has not been sacrificed.

Singing Lovebirds
Gene And Eunice
Invest In Romance

LOS ANGELES - Marriage has
been such a happy experience for
the sensational singing duo, Gene
and Eunice, that they have decided
to invest the proceeds from a
spouting Arizona oil well in a free
marriage counselling clinic.
The "Ko-Ko-Mo" kids are seeing
top professional advice to acquire
a staff of competent psychologists
for the clinic. The institution will
be built in Los Angeles and the
pair will consult with architects
about the building when they COM
plete their nine week stint on the
road with the "Top Ten Revue
Gene Forest explained the idea
this way: "too many of our friends
SCENE to have marriage problems
because of little things that they
could straighten out if they had
some good advice. Our marriage
has been so great, we kind of hoped
that our idea for free clinic
would fix it so more people could
be just as happy"
On stage and off this duo is
literally a walking advertisement
for the institution of matrimony'
The warmth of their personal re-
lationship has apparently gotten
to the fans since their records are
among the nations top sellers and
their in-person commitments as
sure them a busy time well into
1856.
According to Eunice, "the clinic
will be - in little way - our way
to show our appreciation for our
great good fortune"
