Beavers Downgraded as City College Faces Garden Ban
New York Board of Higher Education bars CCNY and other municipal colleges from Madison Square Garden and similar venues. The Beavers, famed for 1950 NIT and NCAA titles, drop to secondary status under the ban amid a broad game fixing scandal. Coach Nat Holman laments limited gym capacity and scheduling impact. Indictments target 12 players and an NYU fixer in a bribery scheme covering last season. Also implicated are CCNY rivals and LIU stars.

Boxing plans clash over Eddie Thomas title bout
Jersey Jones questions why Eddie Thomas would fight in the United States when Britain offers higher gate receipts. Thomas, world outside the Western Hemisphere champion, would meet the Gavilan Bratton welterweight winner if Solomons can promote it. A possible $150,000 to $200,000 gate in Cardiff contrasts with $40,000 here.
