Court attachment
switches Odessa
bout to 8 rounds
ODESSA, Tex. (AP)j-A court
attachment for $825 last night
switched a regular 10-round bout
between Zora Folley of Phoenix,
Ariz., and Alvin Green of Tyler,
Tex., to an 8-round exhibition
match.
A deputy sheriff served the at-
tachment for Dr. J. B. Cone, who
claimed that promoter Bob Calla-
han owed him that amount for
backing a boxing card here last
month.
Callahan, who said he did not
owe the money, announced from
the ring that he did not have
enough money to pay Folley and
Green their guarantees and that
they had agreed to stage the ex-
hibition bout.
A crowd of 1,085 fans turned out
for the fight with an estimated
gross gate of $3,012.25.
Folley had been guaranteed
$2,500 for the scheduled fight and
Green $1,000. Sammy George of
the Texas Boxing Commission
said that after taxes and all other
expenses were paid, Folley and
Green would receive about $412
each.

of SWC teams
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Southwest Conference,
which has been building up an im-
pressive intersectional basketball
record, faltered Monday night.
Rice thumped Tulane, 60-51. but
Texas bowed to Louisiana State
University, 52-47, and Nebraska
rolled over Texas Tech, 54-46.
The Monday night games left
the loop with 15 victories and 12
defeats in outside play.
In the only game scheduled for
Tuesday night, Baylor plays host
to Abilene Christian College of
Abilene in a non-conference tilt.
Handing Tulane its first defeat
of the season, the Rice Owls took
and held an early lead. When Tu-
lane cut the Owl lead to four
points in the second half, Rice
froze the ball, then dropped in
seven straight free throws. Dale
Ball* was high point man for Rice
with 22 points.
A tight defense and deadly foul
shooting accounted for LSU'g win
over Texas. tWhile the Louisiana ns
scored only"' 10 field goals, t{iey
connected on 32 of 41 free thaow
attempts. The Texans had a 30-27
halftime lead but Dick Davies
sank two field goals and 12 free
shots to pace L$U to the second
half victory.

Ruling on future
of field delayed
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP)—A rul-
ing on the future of the Rjngwood
Gas Field has been delayed five
weeks by the State Corporation
Commission.
Ray C. Jones, chairman, said
more time is needed to make de-
liverability tests in the major
county field.
The field was closed Nov. 12 so
physical and economic waste
could be evaluated. A hearing was
scheduled for Wednesday and
Thursday but now is slated for
Jan. 21-22-23.
At the time it was shut down,
the field was producing anout 30
million cubic feet of gas and 700-
800 barrels of .oil daily.
Local matches set
for Thursday night
More fights Thursday night
will be held here at the skat-
ing rink building to prepare lo-
cal and area boxers for the
upcoming Golden Gloves bouts.

ed to participate along with

Exchange Club members for
61 for adults and 50 cents for
children and students. Ne ring-
side tickets are being sold and

first come first servo basis.
The Texans hit better, showed
more hustle and did their share of
controlling the boards. Their sec-
ond half effort was their best to
date. They scored 36 points aod
allowed the winners 39.
Powell says that 58 points won’t
win a game in junior college cir-
cles, but if the Texans will play
40 minutes of ball like they played
the last 20 Monday night folks are
going to gee a vast improvement.
Powell pointed out the play of
Weldon Curbo and Jesse Ballew
as particularly good throughout
the game. Johnny Valentine didn’t
hit his usual pace, scoring only 14
points, but he showed up well in
the second half. Powell also com-
mended Buddy Greener for his hus-
tle.
The Texans engage in a benefit
game for the Circle K with mem-
bers of the club Wednesday and
than play a Lubbock independent
team here Thursday. The indepen-
dent team should be tough since
the roster includes former Texas
Tech basketball players.
