Lehi, who won the class B title with their victory, got off to a flying start against the Wildcats, with a first-half showing that looked like the game was well put away on 4ce. The local squad was able to muster only four points in the first stanza, while the Pioneers waltzed to 12. The winners increased their lead to 21-10 by halftime with a nice display dis-play of floor play, and seemingly had the Wildcats completely handcuffed. hand-cuffed.

SUNDAY HERALD "SbSS!1,1- .V.1." PAGE 5 Montgomery Garners Lightweight Title By JACK CUDDY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 4 UP Brown-skinned Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia bounced back from chump to champion last night before 19,066 fans at Madison Madi-son Square Garden. The tall rangy Negro who had been belted out in the record time of 63 seconds by Al "Bummy" Davis in the same Garden ring two weeks ago, come back last night to recapture the world lightweight championship (New York version) from Beau Jack on a split 15-round decision. The near-capacity crowd that had provided a fabulous gate of $111,954 witnessed a close, thundering thun-dering brawl in this third, rich meeting between the two Negroes Montgomery, a former laundry worker, and Beau Jack of Augusta, Augus-ta, Ga., a former bootblack. Montgomery, in registering his second victory in the series of three engagements that attracted a total gate of $202,000, came out "hot ' for this encounter well warmed from 10 rounds of shadow-boxing in the dressing room, and it was fortunate that he did, because "Jumping-Jack" Beau tried to "cold cut" him in the opening op-ening session tried to elt out the notoriously slow starter before be-fore he could get under way, like the heavier Al Davis did two weeks ago. Montgomery weathered the first-round storm of left hooks and bolo uppercuts to the head, and then took command of the fight with smashing body blows that used his opponent's stomach as a base drum and long-range right crosses that drove damag-ingly damag-ingly over Beau's flicking left jab. Beau Jack's onslaught in the opening round set the tempo for a blistering pace that was continued con-tinued throughout the melee. The bout was so torrid and close that the ring officials disagreed. One of the judges, Marty Monroe, Mon-roe, voted for Beau Jack, 8 rounds to 7. But the other judge, Billy Healy, favored Montgomery, 8, 6 and 1 even. Referee Arthur Susskind (Young Otto) also favored fav-ored Montgomery, 8, 6 and 1. The United Press score sheet favored favor-ed Montgomery, 8, 4 and 3. Montgomery Mont-gomery recaptured the crown that Beau had recaptured from him last November. Women's League Team W. L. Pet.

Grayson's Scoreboard BY HARRY GRAYSON Jim St. Clair, chairman of the rules committee, viewing the Okla homa A. & M. -Oklahoma game from crow's nests above the baskets bas-kets prompts Dr. Forrest C. Allen to suggest that a catwalk be constructed con-structed from basket to basket above the players' heads. St. Clair took his lofty perch to ascertain whether seven-foot Bob Kurland of the Cowboys was interfering inter-fering with the descending flight of the ball over the perpendicular cylinder of the basket, which is decidedly illegal. "A cat-walk would enable an agile, single tight-wire walking referee to observe both baskets in his elevated position," points out Dr. Phog Allen, long an advocate of raising the goals to 12 feet. "St. Clair speaks of defensive trouble, eoal-tendine difficulties. The offensive threat of the hyper seven-footer is even more of a crisis." With more games to be played, Foothills Kurland holds the all-time all-time scoring record for an Okla homa Aggie. Coach Allen of Kansas reiterates that raising the goals two feet would discriminate against no player, but would discourage a super-tall athlete from camping under un-der the ring. He contends that directly dir-ectly under the target would be the poorest place to shoot at a 12-foot 12-foot mesh. The same reasoning, he explains, applies to moving- the goal posts 10 yards back of the goal line in college col-lege football. This discourages too easy place-kicking or drop-kicking, yet it allows the same opportunity oppor-tunity for all field goal specialists. Inability of his Kansans to make free throws distresses Dr. Allen even more than what he considers the unfair advantages of altitudin-ous altitudin-ous cagers. The inexperienced Jay-hawks Jay-hawks were twice edged by Oklahoma Okla-homa because they were unable to hit the loop from the charity-line. The Jayhawks outscored the Soon-ers Soon-ers from the field on each occasion. occa-sion. Dr. Allen was a combatant when one man was elected to shoot all free throws for his side. In one virile contest with the Haskell Indians, In-dians, he established a mark of SO noints for Kansas out of 31 chances, and then the free throw line was 20 feet from the goal instead in-stead of the 15 where it is now located. lo-cated. Like all former players who were of any account. Dr. Allen can't understand young men miss-inr- free throws. This should be the easiest shot in the book. Poor marksmanship in hot games cannot can-not be attributed to lack of practice. prac-tice. A daily routine of every member mem-ber of the Kansas and other squads Is to toss 50 free throws under competitive conditions, with players lined up on either side of the free zone, and steping back from the mark following each toss. "It must be hyper-tension," says Dr. Allen. Old Phogr has a reason and name for everything.
