Feb. 22 <U.P> — Tony Galento whose falstsffian feats threaten to overshadow his punching prowess, hojies to regain some of his waning prestige tonight with a quick knockout over Abe Feldman, a veteran who tiever lias been involved In a tank job. Alarmed at the sharp decrease in demands for a Joe Louis-Galen-to heavyweight title fight follow ing the malodorous ending of Tony’s recent bouts, his manager Joe ißarnutni Jacobs, figured the most effective restorative for lost lustre would be an impressive vic-

So Jacobs, sometimes called the best showman in the fight game, came up with the fading Feldman, once a fair boxer but battling with only mediocre success sin"e he was knocked out by Leroy Haynes three years ago. However. Abie was guaranteed without diving experience by his manager Hymie Caplin. Despite one of the grandest buildups ever enjoyed by a Miami match, it promises to be a financial floperoo. It will do well Io reach 50 per cent of Promoter it. K Carter's predictions of 30,000 customers and a {tiii.oiai gate. I Neutral observers believe the fig tires in Burdine stadium tonight | will come closer to 13.000 fans I and $20,000. Galento has warned the public to come early because "I'll molder der bum." The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds. Promoter Carter.', however, prepared for a quick knockout by arranging another , 10-rottnder between NB A middle i weight champion Solly Krieger, a Caplin managed fighter, and Ben Brown, promising Atlanta youngster. Tony concluded his serious 1 training with a beer barrel last. I night. He planned a half mile of roadwork this morning to take off those last extra ounces around I his middle. He was down to 235’4 , pounds after he walked through a gymnasium yesterday, and does 1 not expect to add more than a couple of pounds before ring time.

A peculiar feature of the garni* was the fact that Geneva failed to convert a free throw, the Cardinals connecting IP times from the field. Grile was the leading scorer with six field goals.

tilitles for the season here' on Friday night. The Jackets won the first game 31-20. and the Bears won the second encounter. 37-21. This third game will be for all honors, and although it may not be the best one. it will be hotly contested and a real battle will he fought. If you haven’t seen these two play together, don't miss this last one. We're hoping for a Bear victory and sincerely believe they can do it. If they play as we know they can, we have no doubts about the outcome."—Berne Review. "Berne will play host to Decatur Friday night when the Yellow Jackets oppose the Bears on tlie Auditorium hardwood. Although there is a feud of long standing between Berne and Decatur, here's hoping that Berne’s fans, including the newspapermen, will prove to be perfect hosts regardless of the outcome of the game."- Berne Witness. —oOo — Changes have been made in the schedules for comity teams, leaving one game Thursday, one Friday and one Saturday, a slim card indeed for the closing week. - 0O0 — Pleasant Mills will play at Monmouth Thursday, Monroe at Hartford Friday and Monroe and Kirkland at Berne Satur- , day. The Geneva-Monmouth clash and Pleasant Mills-Com-modore B tilt, both carded for Thursday, have been cancelled. —oOo—“One Fort Wayne five already has seen fate rise up and smack its title hopes right in the eyes. That is Central Catholic, a swell basketball combination when the Irish are running, driving, shooting, following up and forgetting about trying to run too many plays. Those Irish may still win that state Catholic meet here this coming week end but they must prove themselves in doing so. If they do emerge from the schedule that Lady Luck handed them, they will be champions indeed. Buck Shaw.

If Ed Stanczak's injured leg gets in shape, we believe they can do it again. But it will be tough sledding. Either Decatur Catholic or Hammond Catholic Central will be a tough semi-final foe for the Gaels or Irish and more trouble lies ahead in the titular clash in which Cathedra! of Indianapolis.
