Austrian Captures
Giunt SIuIom Race

BADGASTEIN, Austria, Jan.
18 (AP).-Traudl Hecher of
Austria won the giant slalom
of the International Silver jug
Women's race today in an un-
official time of 1889.
Second on the 1,600-meter
course with 43 gates was an
other Austrian, Marianne jain,
in 1:40.5.
The Graukogel giant slalom
run, dropping 400 meters, was
hard-packed and tricky with
fast schusses and difficult trav-
erses. The weather was clear
and cold.
Americas favorite, Linda
Meyers of Monmouth Lake,
Calf, lost valuable time in the
upper part of the course when
she fell and had to climb back
on the track. She finished far
down the list.

six straight on the basketball
court.
The Northern Virginia Group
la League finally is beginning
to move toward splitting the
cumbersome 15-member group
into two leagues, much like the
Montgomery and Prince
Georges County split in Mary
land.
The athletic directors of the
Group la schools have begun
study to get the ball rolling
toward a split. Many of the
directors say the split is not
so far off.
With four new schools to
open this year in Fairfax
County, and probably more to
come in Alexandria and Airing
ton, the league soon would
reach ridiculous proportions.
Some diehards have been
against the shift because ii
would kill some of the biggest
rivalries in Northern Virginia
But most officials think that
new rivalries can be built with
out too much financial loss
during football season, the big
moneymaker.

the six furlongs at 1:O8+5. The

Glass House finished second,
Merry Ruler third and Edito-
rialist fourth in the 14-horse
field. Globemaster, the Us
favorite, wound up eighth after
a sluggish start.
Plan Pays Off
"The race was run as
planned" said Jockey Larry
Adams, who was aboard Beau
Admiral. II figured to get him
out of the gate fast and let him
roll, taking advantage of the
post position No. q and then
giving him a breather at the
far turn so I'd have a fresh
horse for Globemaster."
But the expected challenge
from Globemaster never came.
Jockey John RotE said the A.
year-old, under top weight OF
124 pounds, didn't run much
any part of the race.
Beau Admiral, who was
coupled with four others in
the field" for betting purposes,
rewarded his hackers at $3.50,
$3.50 and $3.50 in the So mu-
tuels. Glass House, who won
II races in "a starts last year,
with six seconds and four
thirds. paid $10.50 and $3.50,
while Merry Ruler was $6.10 to
show.

Beau Admiral won four of Is

Royal Poinciana purse was
$22,327.50.

ToWin Bantam
Title Tonight

SAC PAULO, Brazil, Jan. 10
(AP) One of boxing's three
disputed titles will be cleared
up tonight and Brazilian fans
think their Eder Jofre will
emerge as the undisputed ban
tamweight champion in his
match with Ireland's John
Caldwell.
Jofre, a Knockout puncher
with 40 victories and three
draws in 43 fights, is recognized
in South America and by the
National Boxing Association as
world champion. Caldwell, 23-
year-old boxer who also is un-
beaten, holds the European ver-
sion of the same title.
Caldwell had to shave off
almost a pound to make the
ll8-pound limit.
At the weigh-in he tipped the
scales at 1888, but hit it on
the nose after working out for
an hour.
There are dual claimants in
both the middleweight and
light-heavy classes, with Gene
Fullmer and Terry Downes
splitting the middle title and
Archie Moore and Harold
johnson holding shares of the
light-heavy crown.
The bantam dispute arose
after Mexico's Jose Becerra re-
tired following a knockout by
Eloy Sanchez in a nontitle
fight, August 80, 1860. Jofre
was recognized after he stopped
Sanchez. November Is, 1860.
Caldwell gained the European
nod by whipping Ex-champion
Alphonse Halimi, March 80,
1861, and repeating last Octo-
ber 81.
Brazilian fans have made
Jofre, 25, a top-heavy favorite
on the strength of his superior
punching power. They think
they spotted a chink in the
Irishman's defense during his
workouts. Jofre has stopped 80
opponents, including the last
10 he faced. Caldwell has IL
knockouts in his $50 record.

mittee as the end of the season.
The lions share of the bur-
den for improving the fans be-

out that the influence of the
players and coaches is one of
the major causes of crowd dis
turbances.

eral weeks ago, school officials
were backed up by no less than
18 policemen and one member

Several announcements were
made by officials during the
Mckinley -Spingarn game, eau
tioning the fans about sports
manShip when it appeared tenn
pers were reaching the boiling
point during the close game.
There was no trouble at the
game, undoubtedly because OF
preventive efforts by police and
school officials. However, the
most encouraging factor was
that the large majority of the
crowd was orderly, making the
few trouble-makers look ridi-
culous in the eyes of their fell

BALTIMORE, Jan. 18 (AP)
-Maryland's three big tracks
and owners of race horses gall
loped off in opposite directions
yesterday over increasing the
tax on betting.
The sharp differences of
opinion left the State Racing

whether it will recommend

The commissioners obviously
were taken aback by the solid
opposition of Laurel, Pimlico

They took no action on the
drafting of a bill which they
previously had indorsed on
principle. They will await a re-
port from a meeting between
the track owners and horsemen
who will try to agree on an

will be asked next month to
Increase the tax or whom its
