Dovell on a full-time basis as Of
July l. Kensler replaces Jack
Hennemier, the new coach Of
the Calgary team of the

They are the first changes on
the Maryland staff since Eddie

Crawford went to Mississippi
State. For three seasons Tatum
had Hennemier Warren Giese,
Tommy Mont and Bob Ward as
full-time assistants, with league

Vernon Seihert in part-time
roles.

Bob had been offered an assist

permission to contact Ward and
encouraged Bob to look over the
situation at South Carolina,
nevertheless was relieved when
informed Bob was going to re-

The Golden Gloves boxing
tournament hardly has started
and only a sman number of the
entrants have been on display,
but already this tournament has
shown a little bit of everything.
Last nights opening fights at
Turner's Arena ranged from
quick knockouts to battles that
went right down to the final bell
with hardly a point separating
winners from losers.
1t must be admitted that the
uovices, who had last nights
20-bout program exclusively to
themselves, were more concerned
with punching than they were
with fancy boxing. but that style
made them all the more popular
| with the crowd. They were con-
centrating on stopping the other
fellow before they got stopped
themselves, and there wasn't a
dull moment.

Young Williams, incidentally,
was handled by Eldridge
Tommy Thompson. the we'll
known professional light-heavy-
weight who got his start in the
Golden Gloves in Washington
and won a national amateur
title before turning pro.
This was Thompson's first ex-
perience as a handler of ANA

Another ex-Golden Gloves star

Baugh Alters Stand
In Taking Over Helm
Al Hardin-Simmons
BY the Associofed Press

ABILENE, Tex, Feb. o.
Slingin' Sammy Baugh, famed
Washington Redskins quarter
back who made football history
as a player, is ready to try his
skill as q fulltime head coach
after signing a fivelyear contract
last night with Hardin Simmons
University.
The gangling star from Sweet
water, who holds most of the
National Football League pass
ing records, will succeed Murray
Evans, who resigned Sunday
citing pressure" from the uni
versity's athletic council.
At that time Baugh said he
wouldn't take the head coaching
berth but would continue to
"help out" as an associate. In
his parttime capacity, Baugh was
able to supervise the operation
of his nearby ranch, indulge in
his favorite pastime of calf
roping contests and also accept
the presidency of a small insur-
ance company. But those activ-
tiles will be curtailed sharply by
his new job.
Always Colorful Team.
Hardin Simmons is a Border
Conference member with an en-
rollment of approximately 1,700
students. Under Evans direc-
ton last season. with Baugh as
sisting, the Cowboys won four
games and lost six. The schools
football fortunes have been up
and down. but it always fielded
a colorful outfit. With Baugh's
pro experience it is expected to
be just as colorful and a mite
more consistent.
Baugh accepted the position,
he said, at the insistence of the
athletic committee. adding that
he had been rejecting better
paying coaching jobs in the past.
E. w. Ledbetter, Hardin Sim
mons athletic director, said the
contract was the first long term
one ever offered by the school.
No Salary was announced, but
it was reported to be about
$500 annually.
Full Page Of Records.
The 40-year-old Baugh, who
hung up a National Football
League record of 16 years as a
player before quitting after the
1852 season, threw record num-
Der Of 3.016 passes during that
span and completed a record
number of 1.709. The NFL man.
ual devotes a full page to Baugh's
exploits. including a record of
IA punts in one game, a record
punting average Of 48.7 yards
for one season, and an 85-yard
record punt for a championship
game.
Baugh will have a free hand
in naming two assistant coaches,
ardin-Simmons officials said.
Larry Cunningham. the other
member of Evans staff last sea-
son, resigned last night.

BY Loss of Missett
By Bill Fuchs

Georgetown University has the
opportunity of knocking off one
Of the country's better basketball
teams tonight. but just what the
Hoyas can do about it is con-
jectural.
LaSalle. ranked third behind
Kentucky and San Francisco in
the latest Associated Press poll,
will bring a 14-4 record to Me-
Donough Gym at $3.50 o'clock.
The Hoyas have a 1876 mark.
With Tom Cola. 6-foot-7 2l0-
pound all-around basketball
whiz to lead them. the Explorers
are expected to have little trou-
BILE with Georgetown. The Hoyas
have an added handicap in the
loss Of Center Joe Missett. out
with a sprained ankle. And if
LaSalle romps tonight. the Hoyas
will have nothing to smile about
for the rest Of the week, for they
go to Philadelphia to play the
same team Saturday night.
Fans wonder what Ken Loef-
fer will find to say about to-
nights officiating. The LaSalle
coach recently sent a letter to
Phil Fox. director of athletics at
Wilson Teachers College. criti-
cizing his officiating. Fox, a
former District high school coach
who has been refereeing college
and pro games for years, will
not handle tonight's game. Two
other area men will-Arnie Heft
and Dallas Shirley.
Cola Big Attraction.
The chief attraction, how
ever. is Cola, the All-America,
all-everything star, who leads the
team in scoring with a 24.8
average. He has collected more
than three times as many re-
bounds as any one else on the
squad and is no slouch on de-
fenSe.
Cola, who led the Explorers
to victory in 10 of their last 20
games and the NCAA crown last
year, recently was chosen as
Americas Outstanding Athlete"
by the Philadelphia Sports
Writer'S Association.
This season the Explorers have
lost to Utah by 10 points, to
Kentucky by 9, to Duquesne

Northeast &C Takes
EorIy Lead in Race
For Novice Honors
By Dick o'Brien

If last nights opening round
action may be taken as a cri-
terion. fight fans are in for one
of the hardest hitting Golden
Gloves tournaments in the 21-
year history of the event.
A near-capacity crowd saw the
novices get the action under way
at Turner's Arena and before the
last glove was thrown nine young
hopefuls had punched their re-
spective ways to knockouts.
The tournament. sponsored by
The Star, continues at Turner's
tomorrow hight with a 20-bout
program, starting at $3.50.
The Northeast Athletic Club
emerged from last nights activ-
ity in temporary lead in the race
for the novice team champion
ship. The Northeast club ad-
vanced four fighters. one more
than the Little Creek Amphibs
from Little Creek, Va.
A pipe filter. a plumbers help
er, a high school student and a
Marine were in the spotlight
today as a result of the first
round proceedings.
Blanche Stops M0rgal.
Willie Williams, the pipe filter,
representing the Northeast AC,
scored a rousing victory over
Charley Harvey of the Southeast
House in what turned out to be
one of the most stirring contests
on the first round program. Will
liams, a middleweight, came
from behind to grab a close ver-
dict.
Andy Blanche, the plumbers
helper from Arlington. scored
one of the quickest knockouts of
the night when he stopped Ted
Morgal of the Olympic Club in
43 seconds of the first round.
Eugene Hughes, a Spingarn
High School boy, took only eight
more seconds to stop game
youngster in Billy Williams of
Quantico in 81 seconds of the
first round.
But the king of all the blasters
was Garvin Sturdivant, rapier-

The humor is often cruel but he uses it
as he does the bunt and the hit-and-run.
Most of his ball-game comments are founded
in truth and he states brutal fact which is
mistaken for persihage but it is far from the
borders Of comedy.
The sport at which he works fascinates
Tebbetts and each game seems to him to be
an exploration in experience. There was
contempt in him the other night as we
talked, for those who demean baseball with
cyniciSm or ShiftleSsnesS.
