Rio Grande Gives Challenge to Elis; Bevo Loses Mark

Newt Oliver, volatile basketball coach of tiny Rio Grande College, yesterday challenged Yale University to a game next year to prove the prowess of his scoring star, Clarence Bevo Francis.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association yesterday stripped Francis of his phenomenal scoring records.

Howard Hobson, Yale basketball coach, was a leader of group of coaches which recommended the action to the NCAA rules committee.

"If Mr. Hobson thinks Bevo's scoring record is ridiculous, why doesn't he schedule Rio Grande for next season and I'll let him look my boy over," said Oliver.

He was angry when he said it.

Francis, a freshman, has broken virtually every basketball scoring record.
