twelfth consecutive ring victory
tonight when he meets Dick Riv-

match in El Paso.

eight technical knockouts, he will
be meeting a fighter that is tab-
bed to go a long way in lightweight

his hands full with Rivera, but his
speed should stand him in good
stead.
Henderson wound up his inten-
sive training for the fight by
sparring three fast rounds Monday
afternoon.

Crown Jewel* Face
Housing Problem
LONDON, (AP)—Even Britain’s
crown jewels have housing and
queuing problems. Only 6,000 of
the 20,000 visitors a day at the
Tower of London are able to see
them. As a result, efforts are be-
ing made to move the display to
larger quarters.
Col. E. H. Carkeet-James, gov-
ernor of the Tower of London, told
reporters: “I hope soon we shall
have the use of the dungeons of
the White Tower (largest in the
Tower of London group) for the
display of the crown jewels. There
we can spread out a bit and there
would be plenty of room.

died Saturday in a Plain-
hospital after only twelve
of illness, which was diag-
as an infectious type of
meningitis. He had attended
Plainview high school Friday, al-
though he had complained occa-
sionally all week of a headache.
He did not become noticably ill
until a few hours before his death.
The youth drove to the south
edge of Plainview late Friday aft-
ernoon and attended to livestock
he was feeding as ax; FFA project.
He went home and ate supper.
About 6 o’clock he complained of
a headache, took a dose of
medicine and retired.
At 2:30 Saturday morning
youth awakened his parents
a physician was summoned. Exam-
ination revealed the boy had about
99 degrees temperature. After pre-
scribing treatment the doctor left.
A few minutes after 6 o’clock
splotches occurred over the youth’s
body which later examination
showed were under-skin hemor-
rhages, doctors said. He was dead
upon arrival at the hospital.
An autopsy was performed by
Dr. M. Gerundo, pathologist of
the staff of Lubbock Memorial
hospital, who advised “It would
be advisable to all persons exposed
to this case to see their
physicians.”
Doctors would not say
would constitute exposure
case. One did comment, however,
that ordinarily exposure would
entail direct contact with the case.
But one would venture that direct
contact was the only method of
exposure.
Many Plainview persons were
gravely concerned over possibility
of spread of the malady, as well
as shocked at the death of the lad.

Latin-American
Boxer From Here
Wins Two Fights
Levelland’s lone entry in
year’s Golden Gloves events rung
up the second of two wins in the
Golden Gloves boxing events un-
derway this week at Lubbock.
His name is Ishmael Olvera,
fighting in the 136-pound open
class and won his last fight after
being knocked into the ropes by
his opponent.
In the first scrap Monday night,
he decisioned Gordon Kurbis of
Plainview in the third round of
his first lightweight brawl.
Tuesday night the Latin-Amer-
ican lightweight again won on a
close decision, when he eliminated
David Weir of Lubbock from the
135-pound open division.
The fighters tangled in fast,
close action in the first round,
with Olvera being knocked parti-
ally through the ropes and re-
ceiving a head cut. Olvera bounc-
ed back to connect with a series
of hard rights in the second stan-
za, then pressed the fight in the
final round.
He was to fight Refugio Aguilar
of Idalou on Wednesday night.
