By GLENN NELSON, Sports Editor
Charles P. Davey, B A , M.A. from Michigan State, has come a

when he battles for world supremacy in the welterweight division

have fight fans of the nation on the edge of their
chairs when he meets world welterweight cham
pion Kid Gavilan of Cuba in a title bout Feb. 11.
An audience of 20,000 will be at ringside at the
Chicago Stadium to witness the contest first

the nation and awarded the John S. Larowe trophy in his final

Davey turned professional in 1949, six years after Gavilan.

the age of 12 in his native city of Palo Seco,, Cuba. Gavilan be

his style is familiar to millions. His biggest fight was against1
former middleweight kine Rocky Graziano. Chuck danced around
and about the ex-champion completely bewildering Rocky. If he
can cast the same spell over Gavilan, Davey would become the first
champion in history to own a college degree.
fJvilm won the welteweight crown in May of 1951 and will
be defending it for the fifth time against Davey. Gavilan's style
is explosive. The champion throws punches faster than any boxer
active today and can hit from any position. His famed "bolo
punch" is a devastating weapon, his ability to take punishment awe
some, but stili more Important is the tremendous pride that Gavilan
has in the title. v
Davey thus faces his biggest test against Kid Gavilan. Whether
he can get a passing mark is up to the two judges, the referee ana

The thinclads have been work

to gain their first win of the sea
son. In their first showing this
year, the trackmen were beaten
by Kansas State, 55-48. Al
though this was the first track loss
suffered by Nebraska to the Wild
cats in 18 years, there were stui
some bright spots, according to
Coach Ed Weir.

of a long, long trail Monday eve

ball game to the Lutheran Student
Association. It was the first regular-season
defeat for the Catho
lic cagers in four and a half years
and marked the end of the longest
regular-season streak in IM. bas
ketball history.
Beginning in the 1948-49 season
when Newman Club made its of
ficial entry into large-scale intra
murals, the Catholics have been
unbeatable during the regular
season. Only losse' during that
period came during the post-season
playoffs.
Although never capturing the
big one, the All-University title,
the Catholics have nailed down

title and' finished the 1951 season

l-State Prepares
For Home Stand
The Iowa State basketball
team, current wonder team of the
Bie Seven, is back home for a
good long stay after a series of
road games which saw the Cy
clones win three and lose one.
Latest blast in that string was a
73-69 win over league-leading
Oklahoma at Norman. Road wins
were also scored over Nebraska
and Drake, while" Kansas State
edged out the nomadic Cyclones,
81-78, at Manhattan.
Coach Chick Sutherland's cagers
will meet Colorado here Saturday
in the first of a series of home
contests which will not end until
March 7 when the same Buffs
will be met at Boulder.
As the Cyclones settled down
at home they are tied for fifth
with Missouri with 2-3 records in
Big Seven play.

The defending champs made one

next seven minutes and managed
to creep to 21-24 while the win

three-minute -buzzer sounded,
however, the Catholics became
frantic in their attempts to gain
the ball and the victors padded
their victory margin.

barely brushed the bar at 13V3,
but he still ended up tied for sec

The weightmen also gained rec
ognition as they swept the event
and blanked the Wildcats in that
division. Cliff Dale won the event
with a throw of 49-3. Paul Grimm
was second and Larry Smith third.
Quartermller Brien Hendrlck-
son, who was spiked during the
K-State meet, has recovered and
is ready to go full steam again.
When Nebraska meets Colorado
again in a dual meet April 6,
there will be some new faces in
the running events. Hobe Jones
and Wendell Cole will be eligible
for competition after April 1.
The Buffs received some bad
news when their number two
hurdler, Mark Metzger, pulled a
leg muscle and may miss the en
tire indoor season.
Distance men Lloyd Barlow and
Leroy Clark were also sitting out
practices because of the flu.
The lone bright spot for the
Buffs was the return of dashman
Ron Gray, a sure point getter in
the 60 yard sprint.

p.m. this Saturday on the indoor

Cyclones are next on the list for
Colorado as the Buffs get back
into Big Seven basketball play
Saturday night at Ames.
The game is the first of a rough
trio of road games which finds
the Buffs at Iowa State, Nebraska
and Missouri in the next 10 days.
Colorado tuned up after a 12-
day layoff for final exams with
a 62-50 win over Colorado A&M
Monday night.
But the Cyclones showed great
imorovement over the weekend
as they passed Kansas State right
to the wire before dropping an
81-78 decision at Manhattan. Then
the Iowans followed up with a
73-69 conauest of Oklahoma at
Norman, a job Kansas, Missouri
and Colorado had been unable to
do earlier.
The Cyclones- also clipped Ne
braska at Lincoln, 78-60, for their
other league triumph in five
games. The Oklahoma win boosted
the Buffs.
A major problem for the Buff
defense Saturday night will be
big (6-8) Delmar Diercks, the tal
ented Cyclone center who is cur
rently breezing along at a 21
point clip in conference competition.
Colorado Coach Bebe Lee rates
Diercks as one of the finest per
formers in the conference. Lee,
incidentally, has been impressed
with the Iowa State team since
the Kansas City pre-season tournament.
"They have good .height and
several good, fast boys who work
well from outside," says Lee.
"They dropped some tough games
early in the season but they'll be
awfully rough from here on out."
Buff hopes were boosted by the
performance of Bob Jeanerard
against Colorado A&M.' The 6-3
sophomore flashed the form he
showed at the season's outset
when he was a starter,
