True, City discarded its. favorite fast break offense to beat the Ohio State zone defense with set shots, but the Beavers did not have their usual “zing.” Forward Ed Warner, named the NIT's most valuable player last week, and Center Ed Roman, both made near-fatal mental errors in the final minutes of the Ohio State game.

Parker Gets Nod Over Marsh
Wins Split Decision in 10-Round Bout
Indiana Lightweight Champion, Gene Parker, today marked an old account—paid in full. The West Side youngster, who is being nudged slowly up the fistic ladder, last night won a 10round decision over Dave Marsh, an Akron, O., cutie who six weeks ago won an unpopular decision from Parker. Although he was thrée and onequarter pounds over the lightweight limit at 138) pounds, Parker was sharper and more] sive than he ever has ap-
Seeks to Square Account It was evident from the opening bell that: Parker was out to square the books with the Akron lad. He carried the fight to Marsh all the way. But at the end, the referee's card differed noticably from those marked by Judges Tony Coppi and Glenn Speitel. Coppi scored 53 for Parker and 47 for Marsh. Speitel had 57 for Parker and 43 for Marsh. Referee Frankic Jarr, who the Indiana Athletic imports all the way from Ft. Wayne, shunning local ring masters, mark his card 50-50. A Split Decision The Times score card showed 54 for Parker and 46 for Marsh. But the official verdict put it in the books as a split decision. Parker suffered a two-inch cut on the top of his head when he came together with Marsh. It was the only blood shed during the scrap. In other fights: Bill Roberts, 198, Indianapolis, punched ou’ a decision over Virgil Strauss, 177, Valparaiso, Ind., in the eight-round semifinal. Willie Clemmons, 183%, Indianapolis, knocked out Al Webster, 190, Detroit, in 1:30 of the second round of a scheduled six. Stan Hartman, 131%, Van Wert, O., won a four-round decision over Ace Oubre, 134%, Indianapolis. Bob Roberts, 141, Indianapolis, won on 2 TKO over Les Ways, 143, Indianapolis, in 2:02 of the
