Wildcats Rally to Ni
Mount Pleasant, 52-1
After watching an 11 point
halftime lead dwindle to noth-
ing in the fourth quarter, Sul-
phur Springs staged a late rally
and inched ahead of the Mt.
Pleasant Tigers here Tuesday,
52-60.
Besides being the first, sec-
ond round victory for the Wild-
cats, Tuesday’s court duel was
also the fastest and roughest
match the Hopkins County
team has seen in some time.
Sulphur Springs could do no
wrong in the first half. Regard-

, New York, Jan. 31 OH —
, Archie Moore can always make
two things . . . the weight and
. news.
The ancient one is scheduled
to go under the microscope of
the New York State Athletic
Commission on Friday with a
view to feeing whether he still
deserves to be listed as light -
heavyweight champion.
Arch is still listed as boss
of the 175 pound division in
New York, Massachusetts,
Europe and among the Aus-
tralian aborigines, from whom
he learned his celebrated meth-
od of dieting.
Moore hasn’t defended since
last June when he defeated
Giulio Rinaldi in New York's
Madison Square Garden. Arch
didn’t have to draw a long
breath that night. Rinaldi was
as awkward as a college fresh-
man asking the queen of the
junior prom for a date.
The NeW York Commission
has a notion that either Dougi
Jones or Harold Johnson would
make a Worthy foe for Archie.
Moore agrees but he usually
folo'ws by making money de-
mands that are -out of this
World.
Johnson, of course, is the
N. B. A. light-heavyweight
champ. He won that ranking
after the N. B. A. took the
title away from Moore.
The head of the New York
Commission is General Mel:
Krulewitch and from time to
time hte has been heard to say;
that Moore shduld be more vig-
orous in his title defenses.
It is possible that Krulewitch
will give Moore some kind of'
an ultimatum on Friday . . . j
defend within a certain time,
or else.
Archie gets annoyed at [
things like that. He once was
the forgotten man of boxing,
in the days when he couldn’t j
get a crack at Joey Maxim, the
former light - heavyweight
champion.
Archie no longer is the for-
gotten man of the ring. But
he seems to have forgotten a
few things himself . . . like the
custom of the champion meet-
ing the best contender.
The Sulphur Springs Kittens,
very much of a success this sea-
son and already winners of two
freshmen tournaments, try to
earn their third trophy in the
Fannindel ninth grade tourna-
ment starting Thursday.
Cooper will be the first op-
ponent for the 11-1 Kittens in
the eight team, double-elimin-
ation affair. This battle opens
at 8:15 p.m. Thursday, pre-
ceded by an exhibition game
between Sulphur Springs and
Cooper B teams at 7 o'eldck.
