Blackout!
NEW YORK UFi With no home
television or radio for the Rocky
Marciano-Roland LaStarza heavy
weight title fight Thursday at the
Polo Grounds, the International
Boxing Club said Tuesday blow-by-blow
descriptions from ringside
would be limited to newspaper pub
lication only.
Jim Norris, IBC president, said
these restrictions had to be en
forced out of fairness to Theater
Network Television, which is of
fering the fight on theater screens
simultaneously in 45 theaters in 33
cities from coast to coast.
close call with Carmen Basilio.
few of the experts gave the 26-year-old
New Yorker much chance
to escape the numbing punches of
the swarthy champion.
According to odds quoted by one
source, it was 12 to S that LaStarza
would not go the IS rounds and
even money he wouldn't survive
eight. They made it 8 to 1 that
Marciano would not be knocked
out.
Jim Norris. International Boxing
Club , president, reported an ad
vance sale of 1223.000. He said the
sales 'should reach $300,000 before
the office is moved to the ball park j
Thursday
The 15-round match will not be
carried on radio, or home televi
sion. Norris said theater-TV carried a
guarantee of $100,000 with a priv
ilege of $1.00 per admission if more

Both fighters will share in the
theater-TV receipts and the gate
with Marciano getting i2Vt per cent

Detroit Pact
DETROIT W Freddie Hutchin
son, who guided the Detroit Tigers
out of the American League cellar
this year, signed a one-year con
tract Tuesday to manage the club
again next season.
No salary terms were announced
but his signing must be considered
a vote of confidence. Earlier in
the season, when the Tigers floun
dered in last place, there were
rumors that this would be Hutch's
last season.
After a dismal start, the team
pulled itself together and moved
out of the cellar and into sixth
place.
The 34-year-old Hutchinson, who
got his baseball start in his native
Seattle, took over the Tiger reins
July 5. 1952. from Red Rolfe, who
was fired. The Tigers finished last
that season for the first time in
history.
It looked as though Detroit would
finish last again this year. But after

ahead of the Browns.
Hutch, in an effort to help his
team, reinstated himself on the
active player list in the middle of
the season and pitched relief' ball
on several occasions.

Since TV came in, the policy in many instances has been
te blackout the immediate area at the fight 'scene and permit
the rest ef the land's citizenry te cozy np te their sets for a half

IBC thinks otherwise and in the process does ne great good
. for the build np ef further and much-needed boxing interest
eat in the provinces . . .
Still on that Thursday night crown bout, when the confident
LaStarza gets in all those nasty verbal digs at Marciano, he might
take a lesson from the expericence of Max Schmeling . . . Back in
1938 Nazi-nourished Max said some uncomplimentary things about
Joe Louis on pie eve of the pair's return bout The German had a
confidence stemming from the knockout win over Joe in the first
scrap between the two, just as LaStarza is oozing optimisms in his
belief that he should have had a decision win over Rocky three
years ago ...
Schmeling, with his remarks, made the sad mistake ef get
ting the usually tacitiurn Louis mad mad as blazes. And, Jee
came dose to literally killing Max in that seeend boat. It weald
. seem less than wise for LaSUrxa to have Marciane at the bett
ing; point Thursday night ...

Final Program
Here Saturday
The stock cars having buttoned
up their 1853 programs in Salem
last weekend, the hard tops move
in next Saturday night at Holly
wood Bowl for their final 1953
appearance. They'll roll in a
special program being arranged
by the Valley Sports racing offi
cials. The track directors hope to
run off the hard top champion
ship finale with a nair of 50-lap
elimination races, followed by a
20-lap contest featuring the top
finishers in the two "fifties.'
If okehed by the Oregon Hard
Top Racing Association, this
would provide bowl fans with 120
laps of chamnionshin racing, on
a survival of the fittest basis.
Valley Sports officials are seek
ing that okeh.
Time trials for. the Saturday
card will get under way at 7:30
p. m. Saturday. Driving rosters
and text of the racing program
itself will be announced later in
the week, after ' final arrange

The stock cars closed out their
bowl meetings last Saturday
night with Pat Diviny upsetting
the favorites to win the 100-lao
championship finale in a 1952
Oldsmobile.

There is good news in the foot
ball camp of the Willamette
Bearcats, with the return to ac
tion of Eldridge (Windy) Se
quira, the highly promising
freshman halfback from Hawaii
Sequira, out several days with
a fractured hand bone, has look
ed very good carrying the ball
in drills designed to prepare
Coach Ted Ogdahl's men for their
second contest of the season Sat
urday night at Bellingham against
Western Washington's Vikings.
Another bit of cheery news for
the Bearcats is an X-ray report
disclosing that the hand Soph
End Dean Benson injured in the
opening CPS game was not frac
tured. Two other 'Cats, Linemen
Bob Dyer and Norm DversdaL
also are on the disabled list
Dyer is given little chance of
seeing any action against West
ern Washington because of a knee
injury, but Dversdal probably
will be ready in spite of a bad
leg.
Ogdahl and Line Mentor Jer
ry Frei have put emphasis on
both offense and defense in the
early drills this week to remove
some of the faults in the 14-0 loss
to CPS.
Western Washington indicated
it rates plenty of respect after
tieing well-regarded Pacific Uni
versity 12-12 in the opener last
weekend.
