Williams Gets
Shot at Title
Call: 1-866-308-0532
(AP)— Danny Williams used
to put so much pressure on him
self that he would cry in his
dressing room before a fight.
That might make some wonder
how Williams will react when he
challenges Vitali Klitschkofora
piece of the heavyweight title.
Not to worry, says Williams.
His problem ended a few months
ago when he rose to the occasion
and knocked out Mike Tyson.
‘I learned how to control it,”
Williams said. “I went into the
ring relaxed, didn’t let anything
bother me, and my performance
showed it.”
That fight July 30 ended with
Williams stopping an exhausted
and injured Tyson in the fourth
round in the biggest bout of his
career.
Now Williams gets a second
big fight in a row when he meets
Klitschko on Dec. 11 at the
Mandalay Bay hotel-casino for
the WBC version of the heavy
weight title.
Klitschko said he’s now fully
healed and ready to get back in
the ring against Williams.

Civil Rights Fighter, Boxer, Dies
(AP) — Joseph Dorsey Jr., a
boxer who won a 1957 fight against
Louisiana’s law banning interracial
bouts, died Oct.20. He was 69.
Dorsey challenged the law, ar
guing that it was unconstitutional
and deprived him as a black man of
the chance to earn about $ 10,000 a
year in purses. The 5th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals ruled in 1958 that
the law violated the equal protec
tion clause of the Constitution’s
14th Amendment.
Dorsey, a light-heavyweight,
fought for a few years after the
court decision, ending his career
with 29 wins and six losses, daugh
ter Dorinda Dorsey said. She said

A second release of the book and DVD “Clyde the
Glide" offers the story of Clyde Drexler and his
glorious 12-year run as the leader of the Portland
Trai I Blazers and championship title with the Houston
Rockets.
Drexler, a member of the NBA Hall of Fame and
the most popular player in the history of the Portland
franchise, reminisces about his former teammates
and the greats of the game who became friends and
foes over the years, including rival Michael Jordan,
the player with whom he was most often compared.
“Clyde the Glide” has a 16-page color photo
section and is co-authored by local sports columnist
Kerry Eggers.
Black Ice, the Untold Sports Story
“Black tee” is a new sports his
tory book that tells the lost history
of the Colored Hockey League of
the Maritimes from 1895 to 1925
established by the descendants of
escaped slaves from the Under
ground Railroad and Black Revolu
tionary Loyalists.
No other book has ever been
written about this league, and until
now very little is know about its
origins and history. Founded on
black Baptist beliefs and Booker T.
Washington philosophies and in
volving people like Henry Sylvester
Williams, it was a league unlike any
other and as such makes it an im
portant political and social history.
Twenty-five years before the
Negro Baseball Leagues in the
United States, and twenty-two
years before the birth of the Na
tional Hockey League, Black Cana

Led by skilled and educated lead
ership, the Colored League would
emerge as a premier force in Cana
dian hockey and supply the resil
ience necessary to preserve a
unique culture; a culture which ex
ists to this day.
Unfortunately, such was their
fate, that their contributions were
conveniently ignored, or simply
stolen, as white teams and hockey
officials, influenced by the black
league, copied elements of the black
style or sought to take self-credit
for black hockey innovations.

PSU to Host
Montana
The Portland State Vikings re
turn to PGE Park for the first time
since Oct. 2 to host their biggest
home game of the year when they
face fourth-ranked Montana on
Saturday at 3:35 p.m.
The Vikings will need to over
come the heartbreak of two con
secutive emotional losses on the
road. After leading all the way in
each game, the Vikings lost in over
time at Montana State and on a
closing-seconds field goal at North
ern Arizona.
Portland State continues to lead
the Big Sky Conference in total
defense and scoring defense.
