Varsity Club Awards

Jersey Joe Walcott and Ez-
zard Charles faced each other
once again last night, this
time as honor guests Of the
Varsity Club as it celebrated
boxing night at the Roumanian
Inn.
Walcott was presented the
first Jimmy Lake Commemora-
tive Award, named in honor Of
Washington's veteran ring an
nouncer which will go each
year to mark a memorial box
ing event. This time it was in
recognition of Walcott's upset

sented Charles with the Var
sity Clubs Sportsmanship

Two other former champions
were present, Joe Dundee,
welterweight ruler from 1927
to 1929, and Harry Jeffra, king

Jeffra was a principal in

ent included Red Burman, who
tangled with Joe Louis, and
was stopped in five rounds,
for the heavyweight title;
Tony Galento, another Louis
opponent; Marty Gallagher,
Bee Bee Washington and Jim
my Cooper.
The presence Of Galento and
Gallagher brought back mem
orieS Of their two battles here
in 1884, the second Of which
just about packed the ball
park. Galento won the first in
10 rounds, "the worst beating
I ever took" Gallagher recalls.
Marty won the return with a
13-round knockout, but he still
talks more Of that first one.
HE gave me a real going
over" Marty recalls. "He cut
my cheek-just about broke my
nose and put me down four
times.
But he was firing at the
end, and I knew If we had a
few more rounds to go I could
nail him. So in the next fight
for the Police Boys Club fund,
I insisted on a hereunder. And
I got him in the 18th"
Walcott, in his remarks,
noted that boxing has had q
hard time lately, but I still be-
lieve no other sport offers so
much to a boy who really wants
success. There's still a future
in boxing for those willing to
strive and keep trying"

Halter maintained that the

Montreal when Etcheverry re-
fused to accept the trade. The
commissioner said Rozelle's ac-
ton constituted q violation of
the verbal agreement between
the two leagues to honor each
others contract.
Before today'S amendment,
my powers were limited to de-
termining the priority Of agree
ment in the case where q player
signed two contracts.
This was the basis of the
verbal agreement I negotiated
with Bert Bell-that we would
get together and decide the
priority Of contract in such a
dispute and act accordingly"
Rozelle became commissioner
Of the NFL after Bell, the FORM
er commissioner, died.
The agreement between the
two leagues was that II a player
signed contracts with teams in
both leagues, the commissioner
would determine which was
signed first and rule that it was
the one in force.
Il now am free to Judge any
question Of validity Of contract
that a player or his lawyer
