Show Ked skins Dump Denver 56-50: 33 The University of Utah Red skins made ' their east of the Rockies trip a complete success Saturday night by tripping a stubborn'1 stub-born'1 Denver five 56-50 on the Pioneer's home court. The win, coupled with the Utes Friday night win over Colorado, gave Utah the undisputed Big Seven conference lead, with a per' centage point advantage over Wyoming University s Cowboys. Big Vern Gardner was the outstanding man in the Utah win. The rangy pivot man had -too much height for the Pioneers, and his bankboard work and pivot shots gave the Utes an advantage they pushed to the utmost. Gardner hit the hoop for 19 points, two more than teammate Arnie Ferrin, who wound up the evening with 17 counters, but it was Gardner who was .the thorn in the side of the Pioneers. The game started out tight, and the Pioneers gave the Utes a stiff tussle for the first fifteen minutes. min-utes. The lead changed hands 10 times in the first half, and was knotted four times before the Redskins pulled away to a 31-27 hajitime advantage. Utah led all the way in the second sec-ond half, and never did allow the Pioneers to come closer than three points during the rest of the ball game. Utah stamped her position as the team to watch Friday night at Boulder when the mighty Redskins Red-skins rolled past once-powerful Colorado 49-35 and moved into first place tie with Wyoming. The fastbreaking Utah crew dominated the ball game with Colorado and had little difficulty in handing the Buffs their third straight conference loss, moving the erstwhile league leaders down into fourth place in the loop rankings. It was big Vern Gardner who led the Utes to their win. Gard ner dominated the bankboards and peppered the basket for 18 points, while keeping Lee Kob-bins, Kob-bins, Colorado's high scoring center, cen-ter, well under control. It was a blank seven and a half minutes in the second half that gave Colorado its chief trou bie. Up to this point the Buffs had kept pretty well on the heels of the Redskins, who had lost only to Utah State this season.

Greenberg Steals Show From Moguls NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (U.R) Hammerin' Hank Greenberg stole the show from the big wigs of the big leagues today by talking enthusiastically about his "new career" in Pittsburgh while the best the club owners could do was to work out a fancy pension plan for the aged players. Greenberg, who might be one of the first players to benefit from the new plan, talked about everything but retiring. With a voice that boomed like his home run bat, he pooh-pooed pooh-pooed thoughts that he was quitting quit-ting the game. "When I retire from baseball, he said, "I'm going to tell the world about it. And right now I want to tell 'em I'm , not retiring." re-tiring." He said he was "glad to be a National Le&ruer" and spoke happily of "those nice short left field fences" but bitterly about his recent employer, em-ployer, Walter Briggs, Sr., owner of the Detroit Tigers. "The way you fellows are j building me up I'm going to have to be a helluva hitter,", he said. "I j guess I'll have to smack about 751 homers to sun you nun: "At any rate I guess I didn't hit enough homers last year. Briggs thought I was lousy and got rid of me when I hit 44 homers." Obviously "hurt that the Tigers had waived him out of the league after his long service, Greenberg said he couldn't understand un-derstand why Briggs denied receiving re-ceiving a letter written to him on Dec. 5. In the letter Greenberg Green-berg said he had "asked Mr. Briggs to give me some consideration consid-eration for the job as general manager of the Tigers," replacing replac-ing George Trautman, who lefl to become minor league commissioner. commis-sioner. "Mr. Briggs said he didn't receive the letter on Dec. 18," Greenberg said. "But he never said that he didn't get it on Dec. 5 when it was sent." "Ask Mr. Briggs if he received a letter on Dec. 5 and don t ask him to look in his office files, because it was sent personally to his home." The big slugger entertained the press with his new boss. Roy Harney, in a hotel suite across the street from the Waldorf-Astoria, where the major league meetings were in session. It had been reported that he was going to sign a new fat contract and the newsmen came in droves.

Timpanogos, paced by the 18 point performance of Bruce Bliss, dump Grandview 40-17.' Johnny John-ny Pino was top scorer for the losers, bucketing nine points. Sharon had a field day at the expense of the hapless Lake View five, winning going away by a 45-10 score. Walters hit the hoop for 22 points to pace the winners, followed by Hansen with 12. Vermont dumped Geneva 51-25 51-25 with Bob Calder and Larsen doing most of the scoring. Calder hit for 15 points while Larsen collected 12. Kitchen with 10 counters was high for the losers. CHANDLER TO TALK TO LEO DUROCHER NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (U.R) Baseball Base-ball Commissioner Albert Chandler Chand-ler said today he would talk to Brooklyn Dodger manager Leo Durocher concerning his recent court troubles, but denied that Durocher has been suspended. A story was printed in Chicago stating that the Dodger manager, whose marriage to movie actress Laraine Day and subsequent court tribulations concerning legality of the marriage were front-page news, had been suspended for conduct i detrimental to baseball.

Army Closes Door On Pro Careers For Ace Gridders WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 (U.R) The big-time football careers of Glenn Davis, Doc Blanchard and Barney Poole appeared today to be over unless they resign from West Point, a course no one expected ex-pected them to take. Davis and Blanchard, all-American all-American backfield stars, and Poole, an ace end, asked for four-month four-month furloughs next fall so they could play pro football, pointing out that any other decision would be "inimical to the best interests of the service." The three cadets will be graduated in June as second lieutenants and then must serve in the army for four years under an agreement they sign when they enter the U. S. military academy. If they should resign, the resignation must bo submitted submit-ted before graduation. Patterson's judgment was a $50,000 decision against Davis and Blanchard, and Poole also lost a chance for a sizeable sum. The two rival professional leagues, the All-America conference and the National football league, were preparing for a historic bidding contest. San Francisco had rights to both players for AAC play and Pittsburgh, which already had Blanchard, was expected to swing a deal with Detroit and get rights to dicker with Davis, too. Patterson's statement yesterday settled the issue completely, bar ring wholly unforeseen develop ments. Davis, Blanchard and Poole made no statements, but it was indicated that they had hoped to arrange to have their normal leave time coincide with the foot ball season. All three have 60 days' leave coming to them after graduation, and also are, entitled to 30 days' leave during the first year as a second lieutenant. Patterson said the i-tual time away from duty was of small import beside the other factors involved. He said that there was a shortage of second lieutenants . overseas, indicating that Davis, Blanchard and Poole would be shipped out as soon as they have completed several sev-eral weeks of additional training in army service schools. . Utah State's clever Farmers handed Colorado A&M their sixth straight setback Saturday night in Logan as the Utags rolled past the Fort Collins crew 55-38 to remain re-main in the Big Seven conference nieture. ! The Aggies were never threatened threat-ened by the Colorado quintet, which seemed to experience considerable con-siderable difficulty in finding the range in the Logan fieldhouse, and coasted to an easy win. Little Jimmy Cleverly was the wheeltrorse of the Aggie attack. Playing a flawless floor game and directing the Utag scoring attack, at-tack, Cleverly found time to drop in 12 points to cop high point honors for the game. The Utah State cagers moved ahead in a slow and low-scoring first half, and at the intermission held a 25-17 advantage. In the second half, the tempo speeded up a little and both teams had a little more offense to show the fans. The long-billed curlew has a beak seven inches long. Louis Unhappy; Ho Challengers MEXICO CITY, Feb. 1 (U.R Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis, who has spent very little ring time with a great many title contenders, said today that there isn't a fighter capable of taking his title and that he doesn't like the situation. Louis arrived here by air on the first leg of a four-week flying tour of Latin America on which he is scheduled to fight in 10 exhibitions. He said he didn't know anything about the recent rash of attempted "fixes" in professional pro-fessional football and boxing and that ho one ever had approached him to throw a fight.
