NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Plans
for rebuilding Belmont Park,
New York's No. l race track. at
a cost of Is to 80 million dollars
have reached the drawing-board
stage.
The jockey club, which favors
merging the four New York
racing associations into one
non-profit group with possible
closing of Aqueduct and Jamaica,
yesterday released drawings
calling for complete overhaul
of Belmont, first opened in 1905.
The plans call for demolish-
ment and relocation Of the pres
ent grandstand and clubhouse
and replacement of the mile
and-a- half main racing oval
with one a mile and an eighth in
length.
Only one Of the present Bel
mont courses. the 612 -furlong
straightaway, would be retained.
Inside the new oval would be
built a mile turf course and a
figure 8 steeplechase track.
Backers of the plan also con-
template mile chute running
into the backstretch with the
finish in front of the new stands,
which would face in just the
opposite direction from the
present ones.
The plans are in line with the
program outlined by a special
Jockey Club Committee last fall.
At that time the Jockey Club pro-
posed rehabilitation of Belmont
and upstate Saratoga. abandon
ment Of Jamaica and operation
of .Aqueduct only if two tracks
in the metropolitan area are
found necessary.
Up to the present time Aque-
duct has not approved the

Bob Baker Seeking
Payday After Quick
Knockout Of James
BY the Assoeiaisd Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 10.-Bob
Baker, the Pittsburgh giant with
the fragile hands who knocked
out Willie James last night,
compared his ring record with
his bank account today" and
found the latter sadly lacking.
Baker swatted James into what
could be fistic oblivion in ESQ
of the second round. The sched-
uled Hereunder in the Coliseum
was James television debut and
the hard-punching 207-pounder
from Roxbury, Mass. admitted
he was nervous.
1t was mostly James in the
first round. He kept Bakers
head in motion with well-placed
lefts. Baker, fourth-ranked ma
tionally in the heavyweight di-
vision, busted himself avoiding
the rushes of the constantly
pressing James.
However, Baker took command
right after the opening bell in
the second round. A series of
righthand punches finished the
affair.
James said he hoped he could
fight Baker again, but Baker had
other ideas. The 219-pound Ne
gro said he wanted to fight
where the money is.''
The reference was. naturally.
to Champion Rocky Marciano.
With 38 victories in 43 fights,
Baker has kept in the running
with nationally rated contenders
for Marciano's crown, but has
been troubled with weak hands.
He claims surgery and exercise
have done much to eliminate
that problem.
Baker said if he couldn't get
Marciano he'd be willing to fight
the top-ranked challenger, Nino
Valdes, whom he has defeated
before. Bakers handlers, sug-
gested mid-March for such a
match with the winner to get a
shot at the champion.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-In an
era where college basketball
teams often score 100 or more
points in a game. San Francisco

art.
The Dons, first in the Associ-
ated Press weekly rankings, lead
the Nation in defense. They've
allowed the opposition an aver
age Of 49.9 points a game in II
outings.
To point up the importance of
defensive tactics, Furinan, a
team which is out of sight in the
ratings, tops the scoring parade
with a 95.9 average output.
The Oklahoma Aggies are an
exception this year to the de-
fensive statistics. Ranked high
as usual on defense, they have
q. dismal 80 record.
Figures released today by the

is North Carolina State, rated

Utah. No. 5, and Duquesne, No.

ranked fourth, yielding an av-
erage of 56.8. The Dukes have

George Washington continues
to dominate the statistics in the

When the starters flag falls in
the years first point-to-point
race at Leeway Farm near here
on March 5, the Virginia anna
teur circuit will be off full tilt
and headed, as it were, for a
Jam in the stretch.
So popular have the point-ta-
points become in recent years
that this season the hunts dis
covered they had planned more
meetings than there are Satur-
days in March.
Traditionally, the schedule
opens with the Rappahannock
Hunt meeting here, goes on to
the Blue Ridge Hunt in Clark
County, hits Warrenton for the
third Saturday and winds up
with the grand climax at the
Piedmont meet near Upperville.
This season, the Middleburg
Hunt, which once held successful
point point races in the 1930's
but has run more conventional
hunter trials for the past two
decades, decided it would set up
another race meeting. Where to
get a Saturday,

At that juncture. the Warren

great cross-country sport more

Rapahannock will have a half

up much excitement last season.
Middleburg has not yet an
