E. CHARLES
IS STILL
CHAMPION
J •
DETROIT, March 8 — UR—An in
jured left ear today sidelined Ez
zard Charles for two months, dash
ing Joe Louis’ hopes for a crack at
the heavyweight champion this
April.
The 29-year-old titleholder’s ear
was puffed up in his successful 15
round defense against 37-year-old
Jersey Joe Walcott last night. His
personal physician ordered Ezzarc
to stay out of action for at least
two months.
Charles, who was almost topplec
from his throne in the fourth round
by a crashing right to the jaw, had
the swelling drained down from the
ear at a hospital early this morning.
Co-Manager Tom Tannas said
“The champ is okay but he'll lia\c
to give the ear a chance to heal
before he does anything else."
Joe Louis, who received a thund
erous ovation from the 13,852 fans
($75,502 gross gate) at Olympic
Staduim, left shortly after the unan
imous decision was announced. Hf
didn’t receive the disappointing news
until today.
It came as a great shock to the
Brown Bomber. Louis has had four
fights, has trimmed down to 207(
pounds and he feels he is ready
right now. He doesn’t want to waste
any time. His 37th birthday comes
up this May.
Walcott’s 37 years didn’t seem tc
hang heavy on him in several spot?1
last night, notably in the fourth and
15th rounds when the 5 to 1 under
dog had Charles in trouble.
In the fourth a right to the chin
staggered the champion and one
more might have sent him to the
floor for keeps. But Charles clung
to Walcott for 60 long seconds and
the challenger couldn’t shake him
off.
Thus another championship tum
ble burst for Walcott. He came close
to the crown in his first fight with
Louis and he wasn’t too far away
la his first bout with Charles for
the NBA diadem in Chicago 20
months ago.
After the fourth round Charles
got cagy and in the ninth he rocked
Walcott to the canvas for a nine
count with a powerful right to the
head and a terrific left hook to the
jaw. That was the only knockdown
of the fight although Charles came
close again in the 14th.

SEATTLE
'OS ANGELES, March 8 —tPI—
Tl.o UCLA basketball squad flies
to Seattle today in quest of its sec
ond straight Pacific Coast Confer
ence championship.
Winners for three consecutive
years of the Southern Division title
in the conference, Coach Johnny
Wooden’s Bruins play the Univer
sity of Washington on the Huskies’
home court.
Local observers are none to opti
mistic about the Bruins’ chances of
beating the taller, fast moving
Washington team. Last year UCLA
defeated Washington State on the
Bruins’ home court in two straight
games.
Two of Ihe UCLA regulars, Guard
Capt. Eddie Sheldrake and Forward
Art Alper, were stricken with the
flu, missing yesterday’s final prac
tice. Wooden hoped they would be
recovered sufficiently to play to
morrow and Saturday nights, how
ever.
Dick Ridgway, a lanky sophomore,
led the Southern Division^ scoring
with 217 points, the most ever scor
ed by a sophomore. He also broke
the school season’s record, with 439
points in 27 games.
The squad is due in Seattle via
United Airlines at 4:40 p.m. TST.
FRIDAY BOWLING
GAMES ARE OFF
There will be no bowling of the
Friday League, March 9, in order
that the visiting Ketchikan Elks

A complete schedule of the Fri

IRWIN TO PALMER
Don Irwin, in charge of Alaska
experiment stations for Alaska, De

SERIES SPLIT BY
JUNEAU HIGH WIN
OVER KAYHI, 54-46
The Juneau High school Crimson
Bears came out of a see-saw first
quarter in the game last night to
take the second game from Ketchi
kan High school in a best two-out
jf three series by the score of 54-46.
The evident lesson from the recent
Gold Medal Tournament has gone
unheeded two nights in a row by
the referees — that of calling fouls.
Neither team can be said to have
fouled more than the other in these
first two games of a crucial series
for the championship of Southeast
Alaska. The evident fouls were even
ly split for both teams going un
heeded and uncalled by the referees.
The game got off to a slower start
last night with the first basket of
the game being made by Carlson of
the Bears a minute and a half
after the starting tip-off. The Bears
began the game by net getting re
bounds after their own shots.
Towards the end of the quarter,
a referee’s time-n.’t was called with
he warning given to both coaches
for the players to stop talking back
to the referees on called fouls or
e thrown out of the game.
The lead was exenanged several
times during the first period. To
ward the end of the quarter, the
Bears got control of the game to
never be topped again.
.Ketchikan was working in under
the basket and alternating shots
.from the backcourt with under the
casket attempts.
Score at the end of the first
quarter was Juneau 12. Ketchikan 7.
The second quarter saw inter
cepting by both teams on bad pass
ing. It was the Bears’ game the first
half of this period for scoring with
Kayhi doing the sinking in the last
half. The Bears were never threat
ened.
Defensive Game
The Bears were breaking into the
key better in a strictly man-to-man
defensive game by both teams.
Score at the end of the second
quarter was Juneau 31, Ketchikan
30.
The Kayhis led off the scoring
in the third quarter when Simpson
dropped in a two-point counter
quickly followed by Ninnis of the
Bears. Both teams were working in
for the set shots.
The Bears were using longer
passes and missing less of them.
Ninnis hit a pay streak in the clos
ing two minutes dumping in three
if his four baskets for the quarter.
Kayhi was forced to try for the long
shots.
Score at the end of the third
period: Juneau 43, Ketchikan 29.
Scoring was opened in the final
frame with a burst of two long
baskets by Maddox of Kayhi scor
ng on long shots. Engstroin of the
Bears retaliated with tWo pushup
baskets from the corner.
The long passes started to payoff
for the Kayhis with fewer inter
ceptions. In an attempt to salvage
the game, Ketchikan tried more
!cng shots than they had at any
time in the game. But the Bears
kept the lead without being pushed
too hard on the scoring.
Score at the end of the game was
Juneau 54, Ketchikan 46.
High point man for the Bears
was again Ninnis this time with 24
points while Emard was high man
for Kayhi with 13.

To the Editor: If you lay off
cleaning your sidewalk you are a
menace: but most of all to every
person that goes on your walk. In
certain cities in the states, there is
a law that people have to clean
their sidewalks. In Juneau, if there
is any such law, it is so relaxed
it might as well not be in force.
The sidewalk that I broke my ankle
on was covered with ice on one
end. There is no need for such
type of walks. It would be a simple
matter to sprinkle rock salt on the
walk, but quite a few people are
too lazy to do such a simple thing
as that. I wish you would please
clean your sidewalks.
