NEW YORK, Feb, 21.—(AP)— !
The Daily News say that middle
weight champion Ray Robinson
.has been unable to undergo heavy
training and may seek another
posiponement of his title fight
with Carl (Bobo) Olson, now |
scheduled for March 13 in San|
Francisco. i
According %o Gene Ward, boxing
wiiter for the News, Manager
George Gainford claims Sugar
Ray’s back still is bothering him
and may ask for another date for
the already thrice postponed
charity fight with the Hawaiian,
\ -“However, it is extremely
doubtful that the lithe Harlemite,
no longer a hungry fighter, has
been making anhy sincere effort to
fit himself for his postponed fights
with Olson and with Rocky Gra
giano,” wrote Ward.
The Graziano-Robinson affair is
scheduled for April 16 in Chicago.
. “Despite Gainford’s claims that
&ugar is drilling at his cabin-in
e-sky at Greenwood Lakes, N.
Y., the chanrp has been hitting the
Broadway beat where he was seen
as recently as Tuesday night)”
wrote Ward, adding:
“The California Athletic Com
mission, the International Boxing
Club and Irving Cohen, manager
of Graziano, are expected to press
for physical examination of Rob
inson in the near future.

CHAMPAIGN, 111, Feb, — 21—
An attempt te cork the steady
baskets lowa’s Chuck Darling has
been pouring in against Big Ten
basketball opponents probably will
dominate Illinois strategy Satur
day night.
The Illini tired to stop Darling’s
tremendous scoring power once he
fore, and failed. That was one of
the big reasons lowa beat Illinois
73-68 on Feb. 9 at lowa City and
moved into a tie with the Illini for
the Big Ten leadership. They still
are in a deadlock for the lead with
9-1 records.
The clash Saturday night is ex
pected to decide the Big Ten Bas
ket Championship, although both
teams will have three more con
ference games. The only other
team that might have a look-in
at the crown is Minnesota which
has won nine and lost three.
Darling needs only 16 points
against Illinois to break the con
ference season record for 14
games, set last season by North
western’s Ray Ragelis, with 277,
St. Louis last night pecame the
second team to qualify for the N.
C. A. A. eliminations. The Billikins
whipped Houston, 63-55, to win
the Missouri Va]fe_v Conference
title. Kentucky, the defending NC
AA champs, previously had quali
fied by winning the Southeastern
Conference.
Penn State had its 15-game win
ning streak broken by Pennsylv
ania, 54-52. At the same time the
Nittany Lions announced they
would not accept any bid to part
icipate in the National Invitation
Tourney at Madison Square Gar=
den and that any bid to the NCAA
tourney would be submitted to the
faculty committee for a decision.
Penn State, an indepedendent,
could be invited to the NCAA
Tourney as a “at large” tedm.

It Cosy With
Yanks In Fla.
LAKE WALES, Fla, Feb. 21
— (AP) — Casey Stengel and his
New York Yankee coaching staff
have been hidden down here for a
week, sifting their minor league
gold for another Gil McDougald or
Whitey Ford.
Stengel is playing it cosy. He
won't say what he’s found. But you
know he’s more than satisfied. He
gives you that wide old wink and
says:
“We may surprise some of you
boys a little. Some of these fellows
may be around the Yankee Sta
dium for a long, long time,”
Old Custom
It's an old Yankee custom to
call several prize farm hands to a
pre-training camp, called an “in
struction” school. That was where
Stengel learned about Ford, Mec-
Dougald, Tom Morgan and many
others.
This school is considered so im
portant that Stengel won't even
bother to go up to St. Pete for the
official opening of the regular
Yankee camp Friday.
Bill Skiff, a farm system trouble
shooter, will take charge of the
Yank pitchers and catchers until
March 1. When the other regulars
arrive, Stengel will pick up his
prize kids and head for Miller
Huggins field.
It's obivous that Stengel is high
on a couple of young infielders
from Kansas City, third baseman
Andy Carey and second baseman
Kal Segrist.
Rookie Record
Segrist, just out of the Uni
versity of Texas, hopped right into
Tripple A ball at Kansas City
where he hit .291, including 26
doubles and 17 home runs. Carey,
a St. Mary’s College of California
boy, also hit Triple A in his first
year, batting .288 and collecting 15
doubles and 14 homers.
Segrist and Carey may be the
“sleepers” in the 1952 camp of
the World Champs although both
Still are on farm club rosters.

Primed For Comeback
They are primed for a comeback
on the part of the homestanding
Flephants however, who in their
second game with the Trojang in
the Athens gym two weeks ago
showed a lots of improvement over
the early season, and who made
quite a showing against Elberton

Stanky Puzzled Over
(This is the 12th of a series of stories on'major league teams
written by the managers for the Associated Press.)
BY EDDIE STANKY
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Feb. 21.—(AP)—It goes with
out saying that this spring training season will be the most
important for me in my entire career. |
I must make up my mind in a hurry regarding many
things. First I've got to decide on certain positions on the
Cardinals. Then I've got to decide where I'd be most val
uable—on the bench or at second base.
I would like to play. I feel sure
sure that I'm far from through,
even though the gentlemen who sit
behind the typwriters have had me
washed up for the past three years.
I'll say this, however, I'm not going
to be the Cards’ second baseman
simply because I'm the manager.
I'll be in there fighting for a re
gular job. If somebody can beat
me out, swell. He's got the job.
Consults Records
If the records are correct, Eddie
Stanky collected 127 walks and
got 127 hits last season. 'That
means I got on base more than 250
times. That also means somebody
will have to hustie to beat out the
brat for that second base job.
If I do play second, Red Schone~
lienst, a very versatile fellow,
might be able to fit in either in the
outfield or at first base.
With me leading off and Red
following, the Musial All-Stars
ought to get some runs for the
pitchers, and the man might lead
the league in runs batted in this
year.
I see where Leo Durocher pre
diets a two team race between his
Giants and the Dodgers. Well he’s
going to be folled. I think it is
going to be fooled. I think it is
with the Cardinals, Phillies and
' maybe the Braves in it all the way.
| Good Material
We have enough good players to
win. Right now all I know regard
ing my lineup is that Gerry Staley
and Cliff Chambers are going to be
starting pitchers., But I know we
have good ball players in Stan-Mus
ial, Enos Slaughter, Schoendienst,
Tommy Glaviano, Sollly Hemus,
Bill Johnson, Wally Westlake and’
Del Rice. )
All of our players with a few
exceptions are versatile. They can
play anywhere. That is our forte:
versatility.
Of course, I can use some help.
I would like to have a centerfielder
a la Terry Moore. The Cards have
n’t had a real good one since Terry
had to retire because of bad legs.
But we’ll keep looking for one and
maybe we'il find one.
We could also use a few more
seascned pitchers.

’American Girl
Sets Second
|
OQlympic Mark
1; OSLO, Feb. 21—(AP)—A 19-
year-old American girl -can prove
by the record books what most ex
perts have claimed for the past
year—that she is the best female
skier in the world.
“Andrea Mead Lawrence of Rut
land, Vt., demonstrated her skill
yesterday by winning her second
Olympic gold medal — and she
made it even more convincing by
doing it the hard way.
She got up from a fall which
would have eliminated nearly any
other skier and went on to win
the slalom with an exhibition of
| skill and courage seldom matched
| in any Olympics.
Young Mrs. Lawrence already
had won the giant slalom last
week. Her slalom triumph yes
terday made this the most suc
cessful Olympics ever for Ameri
can skiers.
In addition to Mrs. Lawrence’s
two triumphs, here is what other
' American skiers have accom
plished:
~ Katy Rodolph of Hayden, Colo.,
won fifth in the women’s giant
slalom. Imogene Opton, of North
Conway, N. H., was fifth in yes
terday’s slalom; William Beck, of
Kingston, R. 1., placed fifth in the
men’s downhill and Brook Dodge,
of Gorham, N. H. was sixth in the
men’s giant slalom and ninth in
the special slalom.
Only one American ever fin
ished higher than sixth in an
Olympiec ski race before this year.
The one exception was Mrs. Gret
chen Fraser, surprise winner of
the women's slalom in 1948.

‘Scoring Crest
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—(AP)—
Kentucky’s basketball Wildeats
are riding the crest of the highest
point production rate ever record
ed in collegiate annals with an
average of 86.2 points a game.
Figures released today by the
| NCAA Service Bureau for games
| through Saturday show that Ken
jtucky . has poured 2,068 points
'through the hoops in 24 games.
! The Wildcats increased their

i week. .
f Their present average exceeds
| the collegiate mark of 85.3 points
'a game established by Beloit last
iyear.
West Virginia whipped four foes
last week in scoring better than 90
points a ganre, and moved into
second place with an average of
81.1 for 21 games.' The Mountain
eers were fifth a week ago.
In over all shooting proficiency,
however, Stanford tops the list.

Latest Golf
Caravan Site
HOUSTON, Tex., Feb. 21 —
(AP)—Pro golf’s winter caravan

The first of a field of 164 pros
and amateurs teed off early this
morning over a par 72 Memorial
Park course that’s going to stretch
every day. The opening round
was played over 6,800 yards but
tomorrow the tee markers will be
shoved back and it will be 6,950
yards, Saturday it will be 7,100
yvards and on Sunday-—the last
day—l7,2oo yards.
This is the first course of the
current winter tour that can really
be considered “long” and spon
sors of the tournament say most
of the pros wanted the extra yard
age,
Ninety-four pros and a handful
of amateurs—including national
champion Billy Maxwell of Odes

his championship, won with a 277

Dick Button To Seek
Win Over Olso Ji
BY BEN PHLEGAR
OSLO, Feb. 21. — (AP) — Dashing Dick Button set oyt
tonight to win his second straight Olympic figure skating
title and break the Oslo jinx on defending champions,
Five 1948 winners have tried to retain crowns they woy
at St. Mauritz. Not one has succeeded.
Despite this bleak record, the
22-year-old Harvard senior from
Englewood, N. J., is an over
whelming favorite to accomplish
his tack.
This Norweian capital which is
still buzzing about another Amer
ican star—Andrea Mead Law
rence.
The buzz is bound to go on for
a long time because not many
people ever have seen such a
sensational performance as Andy
turned in yesterday when she won
the women’s slalom ski race.
As Good As Beaten *
Andy was as good as beaten in
the first 150 yards of her first run
over the perilous 578 - meter
courses which plunges down the
rock strewn side of Roedkleiva
mountain.
At a relatively simple spot, An
dy went “plop,” but the 19-year
bounded up and plunged head-
Jong down the course at break
neck speed. Her recovery was
so amazing that she finished in
the fourth best time for the first
run.
On her second run she whizzed
down the course.in 1:03.4, two
full seconds faster than anybody
else did all afternoon. Her total
time for the two runs was 3:10.6
and Ossi Reichert of Germany, the
first round leader, sailer to catch
her by eight-tenth of a second.
Her second victory in these
winter games confirmed what the
experts have been saying all along
—Andy is the world’s best woman
skier.
Mrs. Lawrence had been one
of the favorites for the race but
the United States picked up an
other two points in the event from
an unexpected source. Imogene
Opton of North Conway, N. H,
came in fifth, Jeannette Burr of
Seattle was 15th and Katy Ru=-

Uncle Sam’s figure skating girls

behind Jeanette Altwegg, 21-year
