If Utah loses, tlie Cougars will only have to split their remaining series to take the title. However, if the Utes pull .mi prises nut of the bag and take the Cougars into camp in one or both games, the race will be wide; open. If Utah should win both games however, the Utes would also have an edge over the rest of the league. The Cougars are favorites to take both of the battles. The taller Ilrighamitos are expected to pretty well control the bank-boards, bank-boards, and in the crowded Provo gym, that is a great advantage. The Utes have always had a tough time beating the Cougars in their own lair, and. there is as yet, no indication that this year will be any different. With the return of Rex to the lineup.

A Willie Pep fleets Stolz Tonight in important Battle NEW YORK, Jan. 29 (U.R) With the betting even and a $60,-000 $60,-000 gate virtually assured, Willie Pep and Allie Stolz collide tonight to-night at Madison Square Garden in a 10-round bout that probably will decide what niche in pugilistic history each shall occupy. It's a big-betting and big-crowd fight for the major reason that loth principals represent defense-industry defense-industry centers. Pep of Hartford, Conn., who is recognized in New York state as world featherweight champion, risks "his record string of 58 straight profess i o n a 1 victories against a heavier opponent, Stolz of Newark, N. J., who will outweigh out-weigh him about 133 pounds to 129 and who is trying to climb back into the lightweight throne room. Pep, 21-year-old bridegroom and "hottest" Connecticut fighter since the heyday of Bat Battalino, set a new indoor feather gate record of $71,869 in his last Garden appearance on Nov. 20 when he wrested the New York version of the featherweight crown from ancient Chalky Wright. More than 5,000 Connecticut fans were in the Garden that night, despite transportation difficulties, and the "advance ticket sale indicated a similar representation tonight. This is the test-of-fire bout for both principals. Tf Featherweight Pep can lick Lightweight Stolz, his admirers will have good reason rea-son for calling Willie a "great" fighter -not just another feather titleholder. And Pep then .can force J.ackie Callura of Canada into a bout to decide the disputed 126-pound crown. Callura is recognized rec-ognized as champion by the National Na-tional Boxing association. Meanwhile, if Stolz can .snap .Pep's victory- string at 58, Allie's rebound will boost him into a contenders' battle with Sammy Angott, former lightweight king. This would be a springboard toward to-ward a 135-pound title tilt with Champion Beau Jack who scored a technical knockout over Stolz in the seventh round, at the Garden Gar-den on Nov. l.'J.

Y., Jan. 29 U.R) The Brooklyn Dodgers, whose antic3 on and off the diamond dia-mond have earned them several choice names during the past several sev-eral seasons, have already won a new and distinctive title for 1943 the junior commandos. For years, the Dodgers have been accustomed to basking under the varm Florida sun while doing their pre-season conditioning, nut a tour of this resort gives ample proof that the Flatbushers must combine the best physical attributes attri-butes of a commando with the natural proclivities of an Eskimo to train successfully at a site that can only be described as the home of the original icicle and the birthplace birth-place of the first frostbite. . It took President Branch Rickey an hour of mingled argument and exhortations to get a party of 48 newspapermen, photographers and officials to journey to the new "spring" site of the Dodgers. The safari, if nothing else, proved that the Brooklyn ballplayers will probably prob-ably open the season in perfect condition like so many pieces of frozen beef. Snowbound Site The Dodgers are scheduled to open their training grind on March 13 in this sub-zero snowbound headquarters of the ski and the snowshoe and if Rickey can prove that the thermometer has no place in the conditioning routine of a baseball player, he will take rank as the Einstein of the sport. For inclement weather, Rickey blandly pointed oyt while hogging the major portion-of a huge fireplace, fire-place, the Dodgers will have the West Point field house only six miles away on a horizontal ilne. But he neglected to explain what the team would use for baseball diamonds, located definitely on all the academy maps, but apparent to our intrepid party only after digging through a heavy blanket of snow. High spot of the day was a luncneon served at a table that vied with the Ebbets Field outfield for spaciousness and lightened by the cheery outlook of Lieut. Paul Amen, West Point baseball coach,,? who announced that cadet baseballers base-ballers would, undoubtedly "derive a great deal of benefit from association asso-ciation with the . Dodgers." Rickey, who lost his reputation for conservatism once the newspapermen news-papermen viewed the training site, immediately enhanced his repute for having a poker-face by ! answering an-swering in all seriousness: "I'm sure they will, sir, I'm sure they will." Publicity Director Thom Yates added that the Dodgers would not be bothered by cadets and officers when they use the West Point field house since the cadets' day begins at 5:50 a. m. and , runs until un-til 10 p. m. with practically no free time. "I don't know about the cur-? rent ,crew," chimed in a scribe, "but it certainly , wouldn't bother the Dodgers of old whose day usually us-ually started at 10 p. m. and ran until .until 5:50 a m." Rickey, smoking a cigar in a desperate attempt to thaw out, ignored thafc quip peered out the window at a solid white landscape land-scape and said "What a helluva time the Naz must be having in Russia." f 7 Orem All-Stars Lose to Eckers Playing without some of their regular members, the Orem Athletic Ath-letic club bowed to the powerful Ecker Studio' squad 53-37 last night in the Deseret gym at Salt Lake. The Ecker quint, led by three former Utah university stars, had too much polish for the invaders. Merlin Ahlquist, Deb Smith, and Vaughn Bennion led the Ecker attack. Roily Jensen, Orem center, led the invader assault with 16 points followed by Lee Brooks with 12. The Orem team missed several players such as Kelly Giles, high scoring forward, but they hope to get another crack at the Eckers quint in the, AAU meet later this year. Bentley Equals Hockey Record By UNITED PRESS Max Bentley equalled the National Na-tional Hockey league individual record for points in a single game Thursday night as the Chicago Black Hawks walloped the New York Rangers, 10-1. to climb within three points of third place. A crowd of 7,500 at Chicago watched Bentley pile up seven ponits on four goals and three assists as his brother, Doug, came within a single point of tying the record by accounting for six points on two goals and four assists. Edict Freezes Salary of Top Paid Baseballer WASHINGTON. Jan. 29 (CP.) The 15 major league baseball clubs which have not yet mailed their 1943 player contracts were free to do so today but a ruling by the bureau of internal revenue reve-nue compels them to file their salary schedules with that agency. agen-cy. All clubs but the New York Giants have delayed the start of salary negotiations in anticipation anticipa-tion of such a mandate which virtually freezes at the present level the salary of the highest-paid highest-paid player on each team. The ruling states that baseball players paid less than the top ma-n on their respective clubs may be given salary raises on the basis of "merit of service." To give its top man a raise, a ball club- must make application to the bureau under salary stabilization stabil-ization regulations governing wage increases. The actual effect of the law is that no baseball salaries are frozen except those of the highest-salaried player on each club. Nothing was said regarding a salary ceiling since no player currently gets a net salary of 525,000 after tax deductions. Isneva Cluards Defeat EVianavu The powerful Geneva Guards team of the Recreation league, took their fourth straight victory at the expense of the Manavu M Men cagers, 47-41, in a gam played in the Provo high school gym last night. Reed Jones led the guard attack at-tack with 17 points, while Bob Huish sparked the church cagers with 1 . points.
