CATHOLIC NET MEET TO OPEN FRIDAY NIGHT Fort Wayne Fans Cheered By Return Os Regular Center By Joseph K. Gaskill, (UP. Staff CorrespondentFort Wayne, Ind . Feb. 23. —(U.R) —Stock in the Irish of Central Catholic of Fort Wayne went up in leaps and bounds today with return of Ed Stanezak. star center and high scorer. Stanezak was forced to the sidelines with injuries a few weeks ago and it was feared he might not see any action in the state Catholic tournament scheduled to start Friday night at 8:30. Sessions will be held Friday night. Saturday afternoon and night and Sunday afternoon and night. Finals will be played Sunday night at 9 o'clock. First opponent for Central Catholic will be St. Mary's of Anderson, defending champs, Saturday afternoon. Either Hammond Catholic I or Decatur will be the next hurdle 1 — probably Decatur. Decatur has split a double bill with Fort Wayne this year and it will be a tough battle. I If Fort Wayne manages a vic- 1 fory in that game they would slip i into the finals either against Cath- ■ edral of Indianapolis or Memorial of Evansville, whom forecasters said couldn't miss going through the easier lower bracket. Os course there can, and always will be upsets by dark horses. Take it from the boys who know, there are plenty of the “black ponies" in this tournament. The first session Friday night will be at the new central Catholic gym in Fort Wayne while succeeding sessions will be in the South

Feb. 23. — (U.R) — A few hundred more persons will be in Burdine stadium tonight to see whatever it was that didn't happen last night when the Tony GalentoAbe Feldman fight was rained out. While advance sales are still far I short of the $50,000 first predicted, the showers which caused a 24hour postponement were an undisguised blessing to promoter George Carter. With numerous other boli- ■ day attractions, the fight probably would not have grossed $25,000. | but now it may hit $30,000. Carter said there was $21,000 in the cash box. If it goes above $30,000 it will be the biggest gate Galento ever drew. Aside from the additional spec , tators. there is expected to be no I change in program Tony is a prohibitive favorite to kayo Feldman in an early round. If he does , not. it may cost him a June heavy- | weight title shot at Joe Louis. Promoter Mike Jacobs will be watching Galento with an eye toward a big summer title bout. Promoter Herman Taylor of Philadelphia. who has Galento's services, also is here in the event Jacobs wants to make a deal for the Orange. N. J . barkeep. Two-ton Tony was irked at the delay—it meant a 24-hour extension of his beer moratorium. “111 moider der bum in a round." he promised.
