Winthrop's aggressive football team, looking like the class of this year's House league, tipped the freshman "B" squad, 18-7, yesterday on the House fields. The Puritans scored three times in the first half, once on a two yard quarterback sneak by Walt Greeley, and twice on long passes from Greeley to halfback Bill Hickey...

Crackdown. When Ogden reported his findings, police and customs men moved fast. At Hong Kong, customs officers saw a Chinese sneak aboard a plane in the airport hangar and emerge carrying twelve fat envelopes. They grabbed him and recovered $142,000. At Philippine airfields, $171,000 more was confiscated.

Walcott's sneak right-the one that caught Louis-opened a gash in Charles's lip. A left cut Charles under his right eye. Another right to the jaw staggered Charles just as the bell rang. Not until the sixth round did Walcott effectively use his new trick: a head-snapping left hook. Four of them, rapid-fire, stung Charles into the bout's first real excitement, an explosive, counterpunching flurry which...
