SONNY BOY
WEST DIES
AFTER K* 0.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22—OPt—Little
two-year-old Sharon West won’t
get the toy piano her daddy in
tended to buy her for Christmas,
Her daddy, A1 (Sonny Boy) West
died last night some 22 hours after
iie had been knocked out by Percy
Bassett of Philadelphia, in a box
ing bout.
The 21-year-old West, a Negro
lightweight from Washington, D.C.,
underwent two delicate brain op
erations and received three blood
transfusions, but failed to regain
consciousness. He had been kept
alive for several hours by artificial
respiration.
Dr. Vincent Nardiello, State Ath
letic Commission physician, said
West died of an intra-cerebral hem
orrhage and a cerebral concussion.
When he was knocked out West
fell flat on his back and his head
hit the canvas with a thud.
Only a few hours before he en
tered the ring trainer Johnny Sul
livan said West had talked of the
Christmas gifts he had in mind to
buy his family with his purse money,
estimated at $1,000. He had his
heart set on the toy piano for little
Sharon.
The death was the third boxing
fatality in the United States and
the ninth in the world this year
compared to 18 in 1949.

satility and speed will be the North
All-Stars’ main weapon in the
Orange Bowl Christmas night w'hen
they meet the Southern collegiates
All-Stars in the third annual Shrine
North-South charity football game.
Yale’s coach Herman Hickman,
larger than any of his 30 hand
picked players, said he was aban
doning the two-platoon system in
favor of making every man on the
squad available for at least two
positions.
“When you have only 30 men to
work with—and all 30 are smart,
top-notch football players, you can
shift things around to suit yourself,”
said hefty Herman.

Coach Given
New Contract
Loyola Univ„
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22 — UPI —
Loyola University took no chances
of losing its most successful football
coach, Jordan Olivar.
The board of control, aware that
their coach had received tempting
feelers, tossed out his old contract;
and gave him a new one—for five
years and at an undisclosed hike in
pay.
The same deal went to Olivar’s j
assistants.
Olivar coached the Lions to eight!
wins and one loss, to Santa Clara, j
in the season just closed, and last ;
year the Lions had a six-four re- !
cord.
