Steelers Take On Invading Keams lloopsters Tonight Coach Don L. Kump of the Provo Steelers will have two complete teams ready to throw at the in vading Keams sir base Eagles to night, when the 1943 A. A. U. tatermountaln basketball cham plons take the floor for their first game of the season at the Provo high gymnasium, starting at 8:15 p. m. Lincoln high and the Provo Ingots, the Steelers' "B" team, will tangle in a preliminary game, starting at 7 p. m. With a dozen or more players to choose from Coach Kump has divided his squad into two teams, one composed almost entirely of former B.-Y. U. stars known as the 'coaches team," and other made up of many newcomers called the "A. A. U. team." By alternating the two teams, Coach Kump will be able to give each unit plenty of playing time. f The coaches team will prob ably find Lee Brooks and Del Moine Christensen at the for wards, Earl Giles at center, and Don Overly and Gus . Black at the guards. The A- A. U. team will likely line up with Gordon Scott and Reed Jones at the for wards, Rollie Jensen at center, and Bud Milani and Stan Nielsen at the guards. Others likely to see action include Phil Payne, Harold Thornock, Corey Olsen, Harold Muckley, D. Tregellas and Reed Peterson. Although the Eagles may not be able to match the Steelers in height they have a lightning fast, experienced and scrappy team ac cording to reports coming from the air base. In addition, the airmen have the advantage of . having played two games already this season, losing to the rangy University of Utah team and winning from the Fort Douglas Medics. One of the airmen expected to give Steelers plenty of trouble is Bill Vig, a guard, who can plunk them from any place on the floor and hits particularly well from long range. 1 Three SI Louis Cardinal Pitchers Lead National League in Earned Buns trev Mexico Star To Be Marked Man In Sun Bowl Tilt By JACK V.

Coach Willis Barnes says Smith is as good a football player as he ever coached that he deserv ed All-America mention but was overlooked because he played on such a small team. The youth is 4-F in the draft because of a disabled hand which is not serious enough to interfere inter-fere with his ball-handling, and his open field running, particular ly that which this correspondent saw in ine Colorado college game, was the prettiest in the mountain region this year.

Instead In many respects it turned out to be as good as any of its predecessors. The baseball ranks were depleted, de-pleted, of course, and many colleges, col-leges, were forced to abandon football because the Army would not permit its trainees to compete. com-pete. The standard of baseball play fell off, quite naturally, but the Navy's cooperation with the coheres and participation by tne armed forces enabled football to field as many fine teams as arc seen in a normal season. Indeed, the Notre Dame edition was rated with the all-time greats. Thrill-seekers were not shortchanged short-changed anywhere along the route.

Terranova Stops Jackie Callura By VERDUN DASTE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 28 (UE Phil Terranova of New York re tained his world featherweight title today because he is the only boxer who ever has been able to stop Jackie Callura of Hamilton, Ont., short of the scneouieo distance dis-tance for a bout. Teranova won a technical knockout in the sixth . round of their fight in the Coliseum last night to bear out the support or the 7,000 fans who had made nun a 1 to 2 odds on favorite. It was the third time he had stopped Callura, and he accomplished the lob by jabbing him relentless witn hard body and head punches. Callura was felled four times for counts in the sixth round before be-fore Referee Eddie Coulon stop ped the bout, just as the fighter's second was winding up to toss in the towel. . Callura's best rounds were the second and fifth, which were scor ed even while Terranova took all of the others. Whenever the Canadian went on the offensive Teranova utilized a sidestepping technique to good advantage and was able to fend off the most destructive de-structive punches. He appeared as fresh at the finish as at the start. The blow which set Callura down for the last time was a crushing right to his chin which dropped ' him flat on his back. Though he started to rise on the count.
