Ring Critic Thinks Philly
Best Place for Title Fight
By JACK CUDDY
New York U. Tommy
Loughran, one of the most se
vere critics of current boxinf,
surprised his listeners Wednes
day by predicting:
(1) The Jersey Joe Walcott
Rocky Marciano heavyweight
title fight at Philadelphia Sept.
23, will draw much more in the
City of Brotherly Love than If It
had been slated for New York or
any other metropolis.
(2) Marciano, "the most color
ful fighter since Jack Dempsey,"
will win the championship from
ancient Walcott and will inspire
thousands of youngsters from
coast to coast to become profes
sional boxers.
Loughran, ' former . world
light heavyweight champion,
said, "I can't understand why
everyone s bemoaning' the
fact that the big fight will be
held in Philadelphia instead of
New York. It's really a Phila
delphia fight. After all, Wal
cott conns from Camden, N.J.
just across the river from
Philadelphia and he has
tremendous following in that
part of Pennsylvania and in
New Jersey. Also, anyone who
would come from New Eng
land to New York would add
a bit of mileage and continue
on to Philadelphia. And New
York fans will go to Philadel
phia if they figure they're go
ing to see a knock-down-drag-out
brawl."
Could it be that the erect,
brown-haired, 49-year-old ex
warrior with the scar tattings
about his brows and mouth fa
vored Philadelphia because It
was his home town until he
moved to New York in 194S,
long after his 1937 retirement?
"No," said Tommy, "I favor
nothing and nowhere in boxing
today. I suspect much dishonesty
in the sport. But I must give
credit where it is due. I believe
Philadelphia is the best site for
the fight, and I believe Marciano
will beat Walcott.
"Yes, I've seen both fight
several times. Marciano is the
heaviest puncher and most
colorful fighter since Demp
sey. Yes, he's much more col
orful and captivating than Joe
Louis was. Louis tui a plod
der, a stalker, a mechanical
fighter with great handspeed.
Be left little to the Imagina
tion. He always wanted the
opponent to lead. Marciano
marches in throwing punches
like Dempsey used to do.
He gamb(es that he'll knock

Loughran, now a successful
sugar broker in Wall Street, is
generally considered one of the
smartest boxers that ever tossed
leather, although he was not a
great puncher. He had 227 pro
fessional bouts from 1919 to
1937. He won the light heavy
crown from Mike McTigue in
1927 and gave up the title in
1929 to campaign as a heavy
weight. He challenged huge Prlmo
Camera for the heavyweight
crown at Miami, Fla March 1,
1934. But he lost the decision
after "Satchel Foot" Primo
had spent most of the 15
rounds stepping on Tommy's
erstwhile speedy toes.
"It will be a great thing for
boxing if hell-for-leather Mar
ciano beats 38-year-old Wal
cott," he said. Tommy concluded,
"And he will."

Ex-Notre Dame Coach Says
Irish Are Still Building
New York 0J.PJ Hughie De
vore, who served a one-year
hitch as Notre Dame football
coach during the last war, Ig
nored the Irish Wednesday in
a pre-season forecast and pick
ed Michigan State as the major
power of 1952.
According to the apft-spoken
husky Irishman, who is now
head coach at New York Uni
versity, it may take another
year or two before Notre Dame
again regains the national cham
pionship. "I don't think Notre Dame
will be as strong this year as
a lot of people think," said De
vore, who was a star end under
Knute Bockne at the South
Bend institution during the
early '30's.
"They"re still rebuilding
out there," he added, "and it
all depends if those kids come
through. I know Frank Leahy
used mostly sophomores last
year, but they still may be
a little green."
Fearful that as an ex-Irish
player and coach he might be
charged with heresy, Devore
hastened to add the men of
Leahy "will give a good account
of themselves" this season de
spite their inexperience "be
cause they're one of the best-
coached teams in the country."
Along with Michigan State in
the midwest, Devote likes
Princeton in the east, Maryland
in the south, Texas in the south
west and Southern California
in the west.
"I don't think there is any
question that Princeton will
be as strong as ever this tea
son," Devore pointed out, "al
though Columbia could be the
east's dark horse. And there
are three teams on our sched
ule at NYU-Boston university,
Holy Cross and Fordham, that
should rank as contenders in
the east."
Like Leahy at Notre Dame,
Devore, too, is in the midst of
a rebuilding program During
his two-year tenure as Violet
coach, large Hughie has joined
his players in only two victory
celebrations, and he still isn't
certain what the forthcoming
season holds In store for him
and his players.
"We'll be playing on of our
toughest schedules in years,
Devore explained, "and I'm not
sure my boys will be quite up to
it Our main problem is depth.
We have approximately 18 let-
termen back, but we look weak
at several positions, especially
at quarterback. And thats
where our opponents ar strong.

Athletes Say
They'll Stay
Ruesselshelm, Germany VP)
Eight husky young men from
Yugoslavia's Olympic rowing
team disclosed here Monday
they are not going to return to
their Communist homeland even
if Premier Marshal Tito does
say his brand of Communism
isn't like Stalin's.
The team's manager, Slavko
Jankovic, said he and seven
others are asking asylum of the
West and "We want to go to
Canada."
Seeking refuge with him are
six members of the Yugoslav
eight-oar crew, and the stroke
oar from the two-man squad
with coxswain which competed
at Helsinki.
"We hear that there are also
four other Yugoslav rowers now
in Bochum, Germany, who are
not going back, but we ar not
sure about that," Jankovic said.
The other seven with Jankovic
Cgpital Journal, Salem, Ore Thursday, Aug;. 21, 195217
did not want to give their names
because all had relatives and one
had a wife in Yugoslavia. Their
ages range from 21 to 38 years.
The rowers stopped here on
their way from Helsinki to com
pete in a regatta on the Main
River. Jankovic said "they want
ed to quit Yugoslavia for politi
cal reasons" and also because
"life there is difficult and expen
sive." "Canada is a land where one
can work and live in freedom
and earn enough to live as an
honorable man," he added.
In Canada the rowers hope to
join four other Yugoslav oars
men who fled to the West from
an International regatta in Mi
lan, Italy, two years ago.
Jankovic is an economist. The
others are an electrical engineer.
a teacher, a mechanic and four
students.
