Billy Fox was again knocked out last night by "Durable Gus" Lesnevich. Fox has only been knocked out twice in his last 53 fights--both times by Gussie. In his other 30 fights, Fox himself won via the K.O. route. It now seems apparent, since Gus had a tough time making the light-heavy weight limit, that he'll now retire as champion in this class and set his sights for the heavyweight title now held by Joe Louis. The way the ballyhoo boys are working on Gus right now indicates clearly that they expect him to be the heavyweight champ within the next 12 months. .

Certainly those local men who played with Peterboro seniors last year or with Toronto teams, could form the nucleus of a senior team here but present indications are that there is a lack of battery power and outfielders.

He advanced two reasons for the Montreal troubles this season. "In the first place, they hate us so much they put everything into the Toronto games and it usually takes them two or three contests against other clubs to recover, The other reason is that the fans practically demand that recruits from the Montreal Royals be given a chance; Everyone knows that senior amateur playets are not good enough for the big league." . . . .

Still Under The first quarter saw the locals still under the influence of the new court, and down by the count of 6-4. This situation lasted till the half, when they were still looking to the home team for leadership by the score of 14-13. That was when condition and hot and heavy play started to show: and .the Oshawa kids pulled away like a jet plane from a horse and buggy. The score at the three- quarter mark was 22-15, showing that our guys were not only scor- ing but watching their checks like hawks and allowed only one free throw to be scored. Chuck Hulcio, the old smoothie of the team, was really hot getting 14 points. Bak and Chickie Phillips were also to the fore. The latter had 14 points as did Mistet Hulcio. The last quarter was a little tighter, but with the tighter check- ing of the Oshawa crew, the Petes couldn't score any baskets and had to be content with one free throw again. Hit The Twine Oshawa, in the meantime, pound- ed the score from 22 up to 38 to give them a very convincing win. However, they will meet up now with the Pete Junior "A" squad, and fellahs they are tough, so you will have to be in there trying ALL the time, and check, check, check, while you hain't got the ball.

Barrie drew 12 of the 21 penalties as the players forgot the puck every once in a while to use their sticks on the opponents, Wiggle Wylie, Galt's centre, was target of two charges by Ray Gariepy, and Pidherney of Galt was knocked out by a"charge from Mousseau as the final bell rang.

Gus Lusnevich Booms Billy Fox In First Round New York, March 6--(AP)--The new Gus Lesnevich, a so-so boxer turned ring tiger, is the hottest thing around the fight game. Now he can call his own shots. At the age of 32 when most fight- ers are looking for the carpet slip- pers the durable light-heavyweight g can write his own ticket for the future, He used to be a hit- and-get-away guy. Now he pegs bombs, righthanded. There are rumors he may go to London to pick up some 'loose change after his explosive first round knockout of Philadelphia Bil- ly Fox in 1:58 last night in Madison Square Garden, Nothing is defin- ite. Lesnevich may never again fight as a light-heavy. He had a terri- fic tussle with the scales yesterday, paring off four ounces to make the 175-pound limit. The sell-out crowd of 18,453 which paid $149,519 got a big bang out of Gus' power display. Six straight right hands to Fox's head sent him down for a count of six after a minute 'of fighting. He barely wobbled to his feet as the champion from Cliffside Park, N.J., tuggeo at referee Frank Fullam try. ing to get at him. Cagy Gus surged over Fox and draped him across the bottom rope with another terrific right. Fox rolled to the canvas and was count- ed out for the second time in his | life. Fox had won his 50 previous fights, except for a kayo by Lesne- vich, all by the knockout route. After a few seconds of slow spar- ring, Gus st staggered Fox with a right to the jaw, The 22-year-old lad backed away and slipped in re- treat, falling on all fours. There was no count and ¢ie was soon back up there, facing titose bombs the champ was pegging. Thus did durable Gus, who seems to get better with age, sdore a stun- ning kayo over the highly-touted challenger. Seldom has he earned an easier dollar. - If the 175pound king has weaken- ed by hte afternoon's weight-mak- ing ordeal he certainly did not show it. They had gus in a side room down at the boxing commis- sion, shadow boxing for several minutes in hevay overcoats to melt away four ounces. "I don't remember what I hit him with after that," Gus said in the dressing room, shilling happily and bubbbling like a boy with the new toy durm.

By WILFRED GRUSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, March 6-- (CP) -- The enthusiasm of London, Ont., rt fans for teams of the Univ, of West. ern Ont, notably their senior foot. ball and basketball squads, knows no pounds sometimes-- which may explain why some of them have made the blanket claim that the college's cage crew should represent Oanada in that sport at the summer olympics. Arguing on their behalf, Harry (London Free Press) Eisen contends that the record of Johnny Metras' basketeers entitles them to his hon. or--a point which will be fiercely debated by those who follow the ame in British Columbja and Indsor, two places noted for the top.notcn quality of their basket. ball teams, However, Harry is resigned to the fact that the Mustangs won't be chosen to go to London as a unit, for the Oanadian Basketball Asso. ciation has plans of its own as to who will comprise the Dominton's cage squad. The London, Ont, scribe: as learned from "a source close to the scene" that the C.B.A. plans to hold a tournament late in May from which it will base its se. lection of a team. According to Harry four téfams will participate in the tournament, Mustangs and the University of Bri. tish Columbia and two other clubs named by the C.B.A. He has ne complaint about this but he takes issue of what he says is the C.B.A.s plan to select an allstar aggrega- tion composed of members of the two top teams, rather than the winning club, "The workings of amateur sport groups are stranger thar the gib. berish of a Hottentot," says Har. ry. "And the C.B.A, is apparently no exception." But, asks Harry, why go to all the trouble of holding a tournament? Then he adds: "Being a Mustang rooter. . . We would naturally like to see the Western wonder boys dis- play their razzle.dazzle cagery in Old Lun'on. Not only can the Pur. ples ply their wares better than most, if not all, quintets in Canada but what is equally important--at least to the Canadian olympic com- mittee--their amateur status is as untarnished as the brow of a babe. "The same cannot be sald, we be. lieve, about a team likely to be cho. sen by the C.B.A. In Ontario, As. sumption Grads appear to be the logical C.B.A. nominees, But the Grads have in their line.up Hank Blassatti, and one or two others, who play professional baseball. This, of course, puts the Grads in' the black books of the olympic commit. tee. But the chances are that the CB.A. will get around it some way..."
