You've got ito give the award
to Coach Forddy Anderson for
the best reading of the writing
on the wall since those scholarly
chaps figured out the hierogly-
phicS on King Tut's tomb.
Forddy got out when the get
ting was good, shifting from
Bradley to Michigan State as
head basketball coach just three
days after leading the Braves to
q surprise second-place finish in
the NCAA tournament last
March.
Anderson was faced with grad
uation losses at Bradley, where
the fans are somewhat rabid.
Michigan State was a greener
pasture. All he had to do was
improve on a 9-13 record.
Thus far. Forddy has done just
that. Michigan State is lie,
while his successor with the
Braves. Bob Vanatta, has had
the expected tough row to hoe.
The Cinderella team of last
March is back sweeping ashes
again to the dirge of 13 straight
defeats-the longest ever for
Bradley. st. Louis made it a
miserable 5-18 season to date for
the Braves with an 82-74 VIC
tory last night.
It may not be much of balm
for Vanatta and the Bradley
fans. but 1t may be mentioned
that The Citadel lost its 17th
straight last night. Virginia
Military did it, 1862, as the
Keydets clinched the final spot
in the Southern Conference
championship tournament.
BY way of contrast. San Fran
cisco, headed for the NCAA

get a post-season invitation,

North Carolina State, the de-

tournament gets under way.

and Wake Forest plays South
Carolina Friday and Clemson
Saturday. Wake Forests record
is 6-6. A North Carolina loss and
two Wake Forest victories would
tie the teams for fourth place.
Any other combination would
leave North Carolina alone in
fourth and Wake Forest fifth.
Since the No. 4 team meets No.

'Keed' Not Convinced
He'sFinished Despite
Defeat by Constance
by the Associossd Press

MIAMI BEACH, Feb. 24.-Kid
Gavilan's defeat by Hector Con-
stance hasn't convinced the once
mighty Cuban that he's too far
over the hill to fight his way
back to the welterweight throne.
Constance, a smart. quick
youngster from Trinidad, beat
Gavilan to the punch often
enough last night to score a
unanimous 10 round decision
over the former champion be-
fore a national television audi
ence.
Badly upset by the loss. Gavi-
Ian told reporters the decision
was as funny" as the one against
him last october 20 in Philadel-
phia. when he lost the title to
Johnny Saxton.
This time, though, there
weren't so many on the Kids
side. OF the 13 working news
men at the ringside. seven voted
Constance the winner. Five
thought Gavilan won and the
other called it a draw.
Manager Talks Of Appeal.
Yamil Chade, a Cuban banker
who became Gavilan's manager
recently, said the decision was
very bad" and would be ap-
pealed to the Miami Beach Box
ing Commission and the National
Boxing Association.
Judge Gus Jacobson scored the
fight 97-95 for Constance. Judge
Morris Feingold had it 99-97 and
Referee Cy Gottfried $685..
Gavilan said the loss had not
affected his hopes of regaining
the championship.
Sure. I keep on fighting" he
said. II think I have another
fight next month in New York.
This funny decision not going to
stop the Keed. I win every round
tonight"
The 24-year-old Constance,
who became a pro fighter in
1951-about the time Gavilan
was winning the welterweight
crown from Johnny Bratton in
New York-grinned when he
heard of Gavilan's comment.
Expects to Do Better.
"Tile people on television all
saw me win," he said. "Gavilan
wasn't as tough as I expected
him to be.
Yes, it was the best fight of
my career, but I expect to do
better than that, as soon as I
learn more about the American
style of inf1ghting."
1t was the 22d victory for Con-
stance against six defeats and
six draws. The West Indies Ne
gro is ranked ninth among the
welterweight contenders. The
29-year- -old Gavilan, who had
hoped to register the Tooth vic
tory of his career, suffered his
10th defeat instead.
Although the fight was not
BACKED out on local television
sets. 1905 fans filled the Miami
Beach Auditorium, paying a
gross gate of $10,813. Gavilan
weighed 154A, Constance 149.
Constance impressed the
judges by his ability to stand up
against Gavilan's famous fur
ries and to punish the ex-champ
with piston-like counter-bloWs.
In the 10th round, when Gavilan
launched an all-out attack, Con-
stance stood with him toe to toe
and in the end it was Gavilan
who gave ground.
