Zivic Sued For $18,000

NEW YORK, Nov. 24 (U, P.)~~ Legal action against former welterweight champion Fritzie Zivic has been instituted in Manhattan supreme rourt by light-heavyweight Melio Bettina and his manager, Jimmy Grippo, to recover $18,000 which they allege they lost when a fight to be promoted by Zivic failed to come off. The bout, according to Grippo, was to be between Bettina and Harry Bobo at Pittsburgh on June 24 and although Bettina and Grippo apparently closed negotiations with Zivie in the role of promoter, the contest never was staged when the Pennsylvania boxing commission refused its sanction.

Ash Chose Ohio State

This is the last week for The Times’ football pickers to go into a seance and guess at the outcome of major college games. Red

Grange still leads the prognosticators in winning percentage at .660, closely pursued by Eddie Ash at .657. Leo Petersen picked up ground last week and climbed to .640 and is within easy distance of the leaders. Maj. Amos Hoople lost more yardage and is down to .515. Petersen led the pack on last week's games by picking 23 winners against only nine misses for a percentage of .719. Ash was second with 23 and 10 for .697, Grange third with 20 and 13 for .606, and Hoopla Hoople last with 13 hits and 20 misses for .394.

I.U. Quarterback and Bob Dove Get All-America Recognition

By HARRY GRAYSON Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 24—This is the best way to start a story having to do with the selection of an all-America team. It still is the most miserable task confronting the sports editor. He hangs on to several telephones while being flooded with telegraphed recommendations. Making the job considerably simpler this trip were the frank statements of Texas and Pacific coast operatives that there were no athletes in those sections worthy of first-team consideration. Of additional assistance were reports from the Big Six, where Bob Steuber, the Missouri tailback, was the only one to get a respectable vote. So, having counted the ballots, we present the all-America team of 1942—five from the Midwest, three from the South, two from. New England and one from the Southwest. The greater proportion from the midlands is something in the way of additional evidence that there was some terrific football played there this fall. Out of an avalanche of names submitted, and’ which were accompanied by a truckload of adjectives, these marked men stood up

Grange Picks N. U. Over Gobs

By RED GRANGE The Original Man-in-Motion

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24.—Cornell’s Big Red team came to hand as the campaign turned into November, It will take a lot of beating in the big Thanksgiving day number on Franklin field, but Pennsylvania is capable of dishing out all that gnd then some. George Munger has the Quakers in a perfect spot—smarting under defeats dealt them by Navy and Penn State. Much was expected of the Red and Blue, and it is my idea that they will live up to their press raves in the end. Colgate is another club which has struck back: hard after bogging down, but in this case I see the Red Raiders closing out the campaign on Turkey day with a victory over Brown in Providence. Bob Margarita is a fine Bruin back, but when the Hamilton outfit is up it is a match for most any team.

Wildcats Over Sailors

Northwestern, which hasn't had much luck this fall, may get a belated portion of it against Great Lakes at Dyche stadium. Bob Steuber and Missourl will clinch the Big Six championship by repelling Kansas at Columbia. That 25-7 shellacking by Auburn gave Bernie Moore material for pep talks that will sharpen Louisiana State for the big one with Tulane at Baton Rouge. The Tigers have Alvin Dark and sufficient additional talent to dam the Green Wave,

Lewis Promises

{To Obey Rules

“wild Bill” Longson, a title claimant, and Ed (Strangler) Lewis who wore the crown on five occasions during his long career, are in a rematch to top tonight’s grappling card at the armory. Ed overpowered and outmaneuvered Longson here two weeks ago but ended up with a disqualification. Tonight he intends to let off just as much of his steam, but plans to be a little more careful with the rules of the mat game. Longson has been seen here 19 times within two years and has captured each bout, including the one on a disqualification against Lewis. They meet for two falls out of three. In other tussles, Roland Kirchmeyer of Oklahoma City, meets Babe Zaharias of Pueblo, Colo., and Cleet Kauffman of Detroit opposes Frank Burman of St. Louis. The third man in the ring tonight for the main-go bout will be Chris Zaharias, former mat star now a full-fledged M. P. in the U. S. army. Chris, brother of Babe Zaharias, is on his way to Ft.

Gilbert Huffman is a brother of Marvin and Vernon Huffman who starred for Indiana university. Great Lakes will open its season Dec. 1 at home against Milwaukee Teachers college and faces an extra large assignment if it is to match last year’s great record of 31 wictories in 36 games. Twelve of last season's 14 players have long since moved into battle zones, including the high scoring Bob Calihan, Frank Baumholtz, Ernie Andres and George Rung. Bill Menke is taking naval flight tfaining. Two holdovers are Klein and Anderson. Both are boatswain's mates, second class, in charge of special training for men. Glamach, Klein and Aubuchon have all received all-America recognition. Dietz holds the all-time individual scoring record for three years of varsity play at Butler. Schumacher was co-captain of last season’s Butler quintet. Dietz is a graduate of Indianapolis Washington high school. ' Schumacher hails from Louisville.

General Manager Warren C, Giles of the Cincinnati Reds launched s campaign today to introduce a livelier baseball into the major and minor leagues. Giles has the figures to suppor his contention that the baseball used during the past season was not as lively as it was three years ago, He intends to carry his fight for & livelier baseball to the major league meeting at Chicago next week. “It is time to do something abou$ the decline in batting during the past three years,” he said. “Give the batters more of a break and also make the game more interest ing for the spectators than it was

this year.”

Giles pointed to the decline in the Reds’ batting from a team average of .278 in 1939 to .266 in 1040, .247 in 1941 and .231 in 1942. “The entire National league hi for an average of .272 in 1939,” he said, “and in 1940 fell to .264, in 1941 to .268 and in 1942 fo .249. “The American league—the sluge gers’ circuit—hit at a .279 clip in 1939, dropped to .271 in 1940, to .26@ in 1941 and .257 in 1942. “T have the assurance of the base ball manufacturers that the degreq of liveliness in the baseball can be stepped up wtih the materials now available.”
