While B. Y. U. hopes to play football next fa!.l, the limited number num-ber of gridders on the campus precludes pre-cludes holding spring drills, the mentor said. Most of the varsity gridders of last fall are already in the armed forces or subject to call "within the next few months. Despite cancelling varsity spring drills, the thud of clashing moleskins mole-skins may ring out on the B. Y. U. campus for grid drills may be inaugurated as a conditioner for naval and marine reserves on the campus, who will be called up for service about July 1. There are from 150 to 200 reserves, re-serves, all of whom are required to have at least one hour of physical activity each day. In track, a full intramural, program pro-gram will be staged, although there will be no varsity team, Millet Mil-let said.

By HARRY GRAYSON' NEA Sports Editor NEW YORK, March 31 Twice battered to a crimson pulp and finally knocke-1 out by Fritizie Zivic more than two years ago-washed ago-washed up and in retirement for 17 months Henry Armstrong returns re-turns to Madison Square Garde.i, April 2, lo fif,ht young Beau Jack as a S 100,000 attraction. Mike Jacobs is gettin $11.50 for ringside pews for most any oid thing these days, and the advance sale points to the first $100,000 gate indoors since Sgt. Joe Louis toed the mark. A contribution will be made to the Red Cross. Promoter Jacobs should have booked Armstrong and Jack for April Fool's Day. for Little Assault As-sault and Battery certainly crossed cross-ed the boys, and they were unanimous un-animous in writing his obituary. As remarkable as it is, Arm-trang's Arm-trang's comeback is a sad commentary com-mentary on the little fellows of today. Since returning to the wars in June, 1942, Hammering Hennery has won 16 out of 18, scored 11 knockouts. ARMSTRONG ROUGH He broke the jaw of Willie Joyce, the Gary Negro who out-speared out-speared him in Los Angeles, and Rebuen Shank was given a highly high-ly debatable verdict in Denver. Jack's New York edition of the lightweight championship is not at stake. New York considers 15 rounds the titular distance, and this one is listed for 10. Armstrong Arm-strong is required to come in at more than 135 pounds. He scaled 138 M; in Philadelphia the other night, and probably could do the class limit without undue difficulty. difficul-ty. Jack will weigh about 137. Although Jack twice shaded Zivic, a rough customer, Armstrong Arm-strong will show him a lot of things he never saw in the way of head, shoulders, elbows and body bolts. Armstrong always got away with a lot of stuff, and there is no reason to suspect that they'll stop him this late in his career. JACK SHOULD WIN Jack should, win on youth, condition con-dition and wallop. Armstrong, 30 and susceptible to cuts around the eyes, is spotting spot-ting Jack nine years in age and the wear and tear of more than 100 fights, a number of them made savage encounters by his slambang style. Jack is in fine shape, and despite de-spite the steadiness with which he has retraced his steps, Armstrong Arm-strong no longer can possibly be the energy - laden warrior who held three championships simultaneously simul-taneously and was rated superior to a fourth titleholder. Jack does more damage with one punch, especially a right hand uppercut, which could be used to advantage against, the charging Armstrong. Beau Jack fashioned his sweeping sweep-ing attack after that of Henry Armstrong, which is a double guarantee that no one will be bored. Cowboys Play St. Johns Tonight at Garden For National Championship - NEW YORK, April 1 (U.E) The mythical national college basketball basket-ball championship will be the prize when Wyoming's NCAA champions battle St. John's, national na-tional invitation tournament title-holders, title-holders, in Madison Square Garden Gar-den tonight for the benefit of the Red Cross. Two of the country's tallest centers cen-ters and a pair of its best guards will face each other in this contest, con-test, expected to attract a capacity ca-pacity 18,000 fans. Wyoming pins its hopes on dark-haired dark-haired Mllo Komenich, six foot seven inch center, and blond Kenny Sailors, its play director. St. John's on Harry (Highpockets) Boykoff, six foot, nine inch pivot man, and Guard Fuzzy Levane, who controls the play for the boys from Brooklyn. Wyoming, victor in 23 of 24 regular season contests, defeated Texas and Oklahoma for western honors and won the NCAA crown with a final round triumph over Georgetown,- the eastern king. St. John's, which won 18 and dropped two during the season, defeated Rice, Fordham and Toledo to take the invitation tournament title. AXIS TROOPS FIRE ON GREEK PATRIOTS CAIRO, April 1 (JJ.R - Axis occupation oc-cupation troops fired on Greek patriots marching through Athens streets with Greek flags on Greek Independence day and kjlled many of them, the Hellenic news agency said today. The troops were said to have opened fire after the patriots ignored orders to disperse and continued to sing patriotic songs, with an adequate mound corps. St. Louis Browns Have High Hopes For 1943 Season By LEO H. PETERSON United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. March 31 U.H The St. Louis I.rowns nrver have won an American League pennant, pen-nant, but this is the year that Manager Luke Sewell hopes to break the jinx. A surprise third last season, the Browns were rated as one of th clubs to -beat in 1943 when they went into spring training. Since then the draft has been operating on the St. Louis rosten, however, and the championship hopes have bren dimmed considerably. First the Browns lost Walt Judnich, their hard-hitting outfielder out-fielder to the service. Then came the 1-A reclassification of Vernon Stephens, their brilliant shortstop, short-stop, and Glenn McQuillen, an outfielder. Untivthen, the Browns hadn't frit the inroads which the war has made on laseball's manpower. man-power. Sewell Optimistic But with the draft hitting the other teams, too, Sewell feels the loss of those three men will not be fatal to his club's chances. He is grooming Mark Christ-man, Christ-man, a good fielder but only a .276 hitter with Toledo, for Stephens place with George McQuinn at first, Don Gutteridge at second and Harlond Clift at third, filling out the infield. He has one veteran vet-eran utility man, Don Heffner, and three rookies Floyd Bakrr, who hit .326 with San Antonio; Robert Dillinger, a .305 batter with Toledo and Charles Stevens, another Toledo graduate with a .250 average. The loss of Judnich and McQuillen Mc-Quillen left the Browns with only four outfielders Chrt Laabs, Anthony An-thony Criscola, Mike Kreevich and Milton Byrnes. The group doesn't measure up to the usual standards stan-dards of a major league outfield. Frank Hayes and Rick Ferrell probably will divide the first string catching duties with Joe Schultz, up from Memphis, where he hit .330, and Ardys Keller, a Toledo graduate, fighting for the reserve berth. If Sewell's luck with the reformation refor-mation of cast-off pitchers continues con-tinues he is likely to come up FRIENDLY HINT FROM THE GAY 90S... Enjoy this distinguished whiskey, sir!

KEEP ON BUYING WAR BONDS AND STAMPS .ulHt Ml ,WVV . -u 1 RAM II Spirit JONES, MCCANN SPLIT HONORS Ancient Henry Jones, a world beater on the mat 25 years ago, again belied his age Wednesday night when he returned to the ring to secure a well-earned draw with barrel-chested Wildcat Mc-Cann Mc-Cann in the headline attraction of the 20-30 club's benefit ring show at Provo high school. Jones, matched against McCann in a reshuffling of talent when Hy Sharman, billed as the Wildcat's opponent, failed to show, applied all his cunning and ring wizardry to dominate the match all the way and win the plaudits of the crowd. He wasn't as- quick and as strong as .the Henry of old, but he displayed plenty of ring science and caused his opponent, cradled in one of Henry's favorite holds, to call out at one juncture: "I thought this guy was supposed to be old!" Jones won the first fall in 36 minutes with a hammerlock. McCann, Mc-Cann, softened somewhat by two years of inactivity in the ring, came back to win the second in 10 minutes, also with a hammer-lock. hammer-lock. In the battle for the third fall Jones was dominating the show when the hour limit ended the match. In a substitute semiwindup match, Villain Floyd Hansen of Salt Lake City pinned Jack Cogat in 30 minutes in a battle of heavyweights. heavy-weights. Scheduled opponents for the main boxing event, "One Round" Kelly and Fred Davis, failed to show, but seven fast four-round bouts featuring Glen Simmons' Provo high school boxers pleased the fans immensely. The results: Orlyn Terry, 100, and Bill Cron, 100, drew. Danny Roberts, 115, TKO third round over Garth Kump, 112. Jim Dutson, 148, and Paul Hou-ton, Hou-ton, 143, drew. Bill Keele, 150, TKO fourth over John Lyons. Don Gifford, 136, TKO fourth over John Thomas. Jay Butler, 140, TKO fourth over Harry Souter. Jean Woodbury, TKO second over John Hixon. W. E. Hammond, ex-heavyweight boxing star, was referee; Frank Ramsey took over his erst-whiLe erst-whiLe job of ring announcer. K. E. Weight, Provo high school principal, prin-cipal, spoke briefly at the outset, pointing out that all proceeds of the show would go into the 20-30 club-community project to buy a piece of military equipment for the armed forces. k The contestants donated their services. Henry Jones acted as promoter and contributed his efforts, ef-forts, including his one-hour performance per-formance in the ring. Provo high donated the use of the building and lights. More than 300 persons attended. NAZIS STILL. HUNT DOWN JEW'S LONDON, April 1 U.R The Nazis are systematically hunting down and evacuating all Jews in the former unoccupied zone of France and in all but three of the 11 provinces of Holland, reports from Europe today. 'Ihcre are seven holdovers from last year George Caster, Dennis Galehouse, Al Hollings worth, B5b Muncrief, John Niggeling, Fred Ostermueller and Steve Sundra, They won 63 while losing 43 games last year. Among the newcomers are four former major leaguers, headed by Paul Dean, who won 19 and lost eight with Houston last year. The three others are Archie McKain, Nelson Potter arid Woodrow Rich. McKain won 17 and lost 11 with Toledo, Potter was 18-8- with Louisville while Rich, an outstanding out-standing prospect when he first came up with the Red Sox, won 10 and lost the same number with Indianapolis. Other hurling candidates are Sidney Peterson, a 17-game winner win-ner from San Antonio; William Seinsoth, who won 24 at New Orleans, and Fred Sanforth, who won nine and lost the same number num-ber with Toledo." mi I Lid Four Utah County Boxers Cop Titles At A.A:U.
