NBA May Strip
3 of Crowns
WASHINGTON, March 28—(R)
—The executive committee of the
National Boxing Association
meets here tomorrow and some
major decisions are likely.
The committee pans to act on
demands that the titles of three
champions be declared vacated
because' they have not defended
their crowns in the six-month
period fixed by the NBA.
Jersey Joe Walcott; heavy
weight champion, is one of the
three. The Camden, N.J., father
of six won the title from Ezzard
Charles last July and hasn't de
fended it since. It was learned in
New York today that arrange
ments have been all but com
pleted for a return bout in Phila
delphia, on June 9.
Also 'up for scrutiny are the
titles held by Joey Maxim, light
heavyweight king, and Kid Gav
ilan, welterweight champ.

NEW YORK, March 28—(A')—
If the midnight gong has sounded
for LaSalle's Cinderella Explor
ers, the brash yOung men from
Philadelphia haven't heard it.
Kansas is coldly confident no
one can stop big Clyde Lovellette.
Little Springfield is feeling its
giant-killing oats. St. John's is
dog-tired. And the AAU teams
are cocky as a bunch of bantam
roosters. „:
This is not the latest farm re
port but a pre-battle diagnoses
of the eight Helsinki-bent hope
fuls who square off in the open
ing round of the Olympic basket
ball trials tomorrow night, here
and in Kansas City.
The fast, sharpshooting Kan
sans. with college basketball's
out-standing individual perform
er in the six-nine Lovellette, - are
favored to sweep through the col
lege half / of the bracket and face
either Peoria's Caterpillars or the
Phillips Oilers in Tuesday's final
at Madison Square Garden. Pe
oria and. Phillips are tied 2-2 in
season's competition. .
Loeffler Won't Concede
The Olympic team will be com
posed of seVen players from each
of the finalist squads, to be chosen
by the respective team coaches.
LaSalle's candid coach, Ken
Loeffler, was one, however, not
ready to concede the European
trip to Coach Phog Allen and his
Kansas proteges, impressive win

Clem Labine
May Replace
Newcombe
MIAMI, March 28 —(?P)— Clem
Labine is the Brooklyn pitcher
most likely to win Don New
combe's old starting job. A husky
six-footer with a natural sinker
and good curve, Labine has all
it takes to win in the majors.
Rival managers had one bad
rap against 'Labine last summer.
"You can call his curve ball
from the bench," they claimed.
Some of them could call it enough
to give Labine real trouble.
Chuck Dressen, a pitch-caller
from way back, spotted the same
flaw. He decided to do something
about it. When Labine reported
for spring training, Dressen
rowed his glove.
A few minutes work in the
clubhouse and Dressen had
scratched a blunt message for
Labine on' the back of his glove.
Starting at the pitcher on the
four fingers of his glove was the
word T-U-R-N. Everytime Labine
starts to pitch he is reminded to
T-U-R-N his glove, hiding his
grip on the ball.
Labine, an ex-paratrooper with
the Rainbow Division, takes his
baseball seriously. With the ex
ception of a year in service he's
been bumping around baseball
since 1944.

Loss of . Trok. Stars
Dims 1952. Outlook
By JOHN SHEPPARD
The loss of such stars as Don
Bagby, 011ie Sax, Ed Snodgrass,
among others, has vitally affected
Coach Chick • Werner's 1952 out
door track chances for a banner
season.
At the outset of the '5l track
campaign, Werner was sitting
pretty as far as the, fortunes of
1952 were concerned. Moreover,
Chick h 0 every reason in the
world• to assume an air• of op
timism, for the crop of material
he had was something to rave
about.
However, a sudden change of
tide has left Werner with only a
limited amount of non-tested
varsity material. .
Last season Don Bagby was the
best miler on the frosh squad,
having covered the distance in
4:21. Prior to his coming to State,
Pon won the Philadelphia high
school mile and cross country
titles. Because of ineligibility,
however, Don dropped out of
school.
Then there was Ohio's high
