DALLAS. Texas — Football fer-
vor is running high here with the
annual Wilcy-Prairie Vjew tilt in
the offing. A near capacity crowd
at the Cotton Bowl is predicted
when these ancient rivals square
off on Monday night. October 14.
The Wildcats, victors in the iast two
battles played here, are top heavy
favorites to make it three in a row
over the Panthers, but anythjng can
happen in this game and usually
does.
Conch Billv Nicks, starting bls
second year as head mentor at Prai-
rie View' will present a much im-
proved team over the hapless crew
that went down 35-7 last October.
Followers of the Panthers will come
to Little London on a special train
that is expected to bring most of
the 1600 students from Prairie View'
on the Southern Pacific Railway.
For the first time since 1941, the
Wiley Special will operate over the
Texas and Pacific with more than
two thousand East Texas fans ar-
riving for the big clash.

ELZIABETH, N. J.. Oct. 1 (NNPA)
— Ray (Sugar) Robinson, the No. 1
contender for the vacant welter-
weight crown, declared here iast
Wednesday night that he iias no in-
tention of claiming the title.
The New York State Athletic
Commission declared the title va-
cant after Marty Servo some weeks
ago refused to go through with a
champion ship fight wjth Robinson,
who has been called the "uncrown-
ed champion”. Al Weill. Servo’s
manager, claimed a nose injury
forced cancellation of the bout.
Servo last Wednesday relinquish-
ed all claim to othe title which he
won from Freddie (Red) Cochrane
last February 1 and never defend-
ed. He announced his retirrement
from the ring because of ecurrcnt
injuries to his nose.
On bejng notified of Servo's
action by Al Weill. Mariy's manag-
< r. President Abe J. Greene of the
National Boxing Association imme-
diately designated Robinson and
Beau Jack as the pair to fight for
the vacant title.
The NBA had continued to re-
cognize Servo as champion after the
New York State Athletic Commis-
sion had taken title recognition
away from him. but only with the
understanding that Servo would
meet Robinson by December 1 and
guarantee his appearance for the
contest by posting a $10,000 forfeit
bond by October 1.
Since bls r.ose. injured when
be was knocked out by Rocky Gra-
ziano in a non-title bout last March
end further damaged in training,
stili both« rs him. Servo decided to
save his $10.00) and retjre in good
health.
The Now York State Athletic
Commission last Thursday told Jack
end Tipnv Larkin that If they re-
fused to meet Robinson for the 147
pound championship, the commis-
sion would award the title to Ro-
binson.
Robinson last Wednesday night
stopped Sidnev Miller, of Youn"s-
(cwn. Ohio in 'he thjrd round of a
scheduled 10-ro'itid bout at the Twin
City Arena. The referee stopped
the bout after Miller went down for
' the third time.
Afte.* tlie bout Robinson said bo
would be dead to fight Beau Jack
for the welterweight crown. If the
New York State Athletic Commis-
sion an 1 the NBA see fit to pro-
claim hjin titleholder, he will ac-
cept the honor.
"But T don’t want any cham-
pionship handed me on a silver
plate." said Rnulnson. “I want to
v in it th-' right way. I’m sorry that
Servo has to oirit the ring because
•> finittrics. l td I lost interest in him
when the Now York boxing com-
mission look the championship away
from him for not fighting me".
Robinson’s fight bore almost end-
ed dlsastrousslv for Rav in the first
tound when he went down to one
knee under the imnact of a low left
1 ook landed bv Miller at dose quar-
ters. Robinson rested a few mo-
ments. then resumed at full speed

but in the third he wen* to work
