Champs Reluctant to Risk
Rina Titles in '49 Bouts
By FRANK ECK
AP New Feature tporu Editor)
New York What boxing
needs is a shot in the arm, pre
ferably a fighting champion like
the old Joe Louis.
Although 12 championship
fights were held, the champions
appeared more willing to engage
in non-title bouts, being very
cautious about laying their
crowns on the line.
Louis retired officially as
heavyweight champion in March
but after Ezzard Charles out
pointed Jersey Joe Wolcott in
Chicago for the National Boxing
association title, Louis returned
for a series of some 20 exhibi-
tion bouts.
"f ain't rich and I ain't poor,"
was Louis' best reason for re
turning to the ring. It led boxing
experts to believe the Brown
Bomber, who had been cham
pion since 1937, needed ready
cash. He denied any intentions
of again fighting for the title.
Charles was accepted a
the new champion except in
New York state where the
boxing commission felt that a
series of heavyweight bouts
would be the best way to get
a new heavyweight ruler. Od
ly enough, Charles defended
his title here by stopping Gus
Lesnevich, ex-light heavy
lit f- (rv
EZZARD CHARLES
Won Heavy Title
champ In seven rounds In
Yankee Stadium. Later Charles
stopped Pat Valentino in eight
rounds in a title bout in San
Francisco.
Mike Jacobs, the promoter
who paved the way for Louis'
fame, retired because of illness
two months after Louis "hung
up his gloves." In hardly any
time at all the International
Boxing club, headed by Jim
Norrls, took over and promoted

in partnership with Madison
Square Garden. The IBC had
five outdoor fights, including
the Charles-Walcott battle in
Chicago, a middleweight title
bout in Detroit and three bouts
in New York ballparks. The out
door fights showed only a small
profit. The Jacobs touch and the
magnetic name of Louis were
missing.
The light heavyweight divi
sion is best described as stag
nant. Champion Freddie Mills
of England failed to defend his
title.
Jake LaMotta of the Bronx,
who beat France5s Robert Ville
main in Madison Square Garden
on a disputed decision which led
to the suspension of a Judge and
the referee, Harry Ebbets, later
won the middleweight crown.
He took the title when Marcel
Cerdan of France sustained a
shoulder injury in their Detroit
bout. The end came after nine
rounds.
Just when the middleweight
division had aroused boxing in
terest, Cerdan, the most popular
foreign fighter since Georges
Carpentier, died with 47 others
in an Azores plane crash. Cerdan
was on his way here to face La
Motta in a return bout.
New York reinstated Hock
ey Graziano, former cham
pion, and the two-fisted mid
dleweight rallied to knock out
a lightweight, Charley Fusarl,
in the last 56 seconds of a
10-rounder.
Welterweight champion Ray
Robinson made only one title
defense, beating Kid Gavilan of
Cuba in Philadelphia. Sugar
Ray, however, fought 12 non
title bouts, scoring eight knock
outs, winning three on decisions
and fighting a draw with Henry
Brim in Buffalo. Robinson drew
suspensions in Texas and Massa
chusetts for failing to fulfill en
gagements in those states.
Lightweight ruler Ike Wil
liams successfully defended the
135-pound crown twice, stop
ping Enrique Bolanos In four
rounds in Los Angeles and
beating Freddie Dawson in 15
at Philadelphia. The latter bout,
in which Williams yelled "fix."
cost him a $500 fine. The champ
said "a friend" telephoned him.
saying Williams would lose if
the Dawson fight went the limit.
Williams failed to identify the
iriena.
In non-title bouts, Williams
won six decisions, scored one
knockout and lost two bouts to
welterweight Gavilan in the
Garden. Williams also drew a
suspension from the NBA for
failing to go through with a
California fight.
Willie Pep of Hartford. Conn
regained the featherweight ti
tle by outpointing Sandy Sad
dler in a blistering 15-round
Garden fight. Pep later stopped
Eddie Compo in seven rounds
in a title bout.
Manuel Ortls of California
made one bantamweight title
defense, defeating Dado Marl
no in Honolulu. In non-title
bouts he lost to Jimmy Coop-
Alley and Miklia
Team Nabs Lead
In Slicker Loop
Cleaning up their portion of
the Winter Slicker league, the
Laurence Alley-Pat Miklia team
virtually placed a strangle hold
on the Three I division of the af

Beavers in Coast Cage Dogfight
12TH OF A SERIES
As usual, the race shapes up
as a dog fight, with Oregon State
heading for a battle with Wash
ington State, and Idaho a pos
sible spoiler for both in the
north.
In the south, UCLA and
the always strong Trojans of
Southern California figure to
be the leading teams, with
Stanford the dark horse.
Oregon State lost two regu
lars from last year, and lack of
height may hamper its chances.
But the Beavers, who won 12
and lost four in conference play
and finished second in the west
ern NCAA tournament at Kan
sas City,- have a pair of veterans
at forward in Glen Kinney and
Ray Snyder and a smooth-pass
ing guard m Dick Ballantyne.
Bob Payne from San Francisco
junior college also is bringing
joy to Coach Slats Gill.
In the south Coach Johnny
Woodens UCLA team has an all
letterman team, sparked by all
conference Guard George Stan-
ich, one of the all-time greats at
Westwood, and two all-division
players in Forward Alan Saw
yer and Center Carl Kraushaar.
Wooden's fast-break caught
opponents short last season and
such cannot be expected this
time. But the ex-Purdue hero
probably will come up with
some other surprise tactic.
Across town, veteran Coach
Sam Barry at USC has seven
lettermen back, headed by a
standout candidate for Ail
American honors. Forward
Capt. Bill Sharman.
Sharman led the division
scorers last season with 203
DICK BALLENTYNE (right)
Sparks Beavers
points and was the only player
to pass the 200-mark besides
Stanford's great Hank Luisetti.
At Stanford, Everett Dean
has five lettermen, with six lost
from a third place team. For the
first time since the war, Dean
has the fast break he prefers,
good height and at least one
good sophomore. That's Jim
Walsh, 6-foot-3 forward from
San Francisco.
California's Golden Bears, in
consistent last season, should be
steadier, with potential high
scorers in Bill Hagler and Bob
Walker.
Best guess Is that the winner
between USC and UCLA in the
south will meet the Oregon
State-Washington State north
era division winner.
Coach Jack Friel at WSC has
one of the great players in the
conference in Ed Gayda, now a
guard. Even though Friel has
three sophomores slated for first
team duty, his title chances ap
pear good.
At Idaho, Coach Chuck Fin
ley's methodical, set-play style
in a speed happy league proved
a headache last season. He lost
only one regular and has an out
fit sharp on defense and danger
ous in hitting the hoop.
Washington, which won the
the 1948 championship and hit
the cellar in 1949, will be a
tremendous surprise it it
climbs. Inexperience Is the
main problem.
Oregon's prospects are some
what better for a team that won
seven and lost nine.
