Benson, taking graduate work at San Jose State college, won the invitational high hurdles the last two years in 14.6 and the year oeiore iu-i ;n isi nnlv thine keening him away would be a conflict in duties . . . Fortune Gordien, the world record, holder in the discus and an Oregon resident, has been invited but hasn't replied, Relays Director Ogdahl adds ... Latest copy of the Track & Field News lists the world's best times in each event last year and Ben son's 14.1 is in a tie for 121)1. The world's a pretty big thing, as worlds go, and that is quite a rec ord for a former Willamette uni versity athlete. Even that doesnt take into account his time of 13.9 in a preliminary heat in the Na tional AAU ...

John "Dick Tracy" Harvey, our Sou h Sa km accomplice did a rapid job of fingerprinting and came up with the answer The big trophy has been at North Salem since May in some well-guarded cell, and South Salem was supposed to get it two weeks ago to keep it for half the year wiih his usual confidence and school pride he added: And now W.-U taw ? it until we bea?them Feb. 22 when we take it for another year."

His job specifically is to precede U,e Harlem Globetrotters by about two weeks as Abe Saperstems talking ambassador. And ho has a lot to say about the boxing game from whence he come.

Leavltt has hi. root. In boxing and I. a close friend of Jack Hurley, the Seattle promoting Jen uJ and manager. After promoting tight, .11 up and down the California coast, he bought out the Honolulu promoter just two days before Ihe Pearl Harbor attack. ' Such luck improved, though, as he became acting boxing com missioner of the slands and it led to his discovery of Bobo Olson " it was impossible not to discover Bobo. He was a 14-ycar-old k d who haunted the gyms and came to Leavitt wanting to get I ma ch. Leavitt told him to go away; too young. But he boy showed up at the next two fights and shouted over and over, "Leavitt, you re 8 bSavs Leavitt, "So to get him off my neck I give him a fight nnd he comes out in his bare feet and knocks of my guy. Sid Flaherty, who is managing the Moot-2 Ewart Potgieter who will box in Salem Feb. 16, came inlo his life then. Flaherty was . sergeant at Schoficld Barracks and lined up fighters by the truckload from Schoeficld for Leavitt's matches. He Cave Bobo to Flaherty "t hegan giving him first $100. then $200, then $300, and he asked me 'How long ha. this been going on?' Before I know It he', a fight manager and when he goes back to the mainland I give Dim this kid I call Bobo, which means daffy in Hawaiian. Afler that he and Olson made a million dollars together." What's going to happen to the fight game If the small clubs keep gig broke7 we asked him. "It s like baseball," he replied. The major leagues are giving $500,000 to the minor, to help them along The big boxing promoters have gotta help the little one like 1 used to do and encourage amateur boxing, too.' Willie Pep, former featherweight champion, and Sugar Ray Rob inson at his peak, were in a class by themselves Leavitt contended n fact, he once suggested to Pep's manager that he not even let Willie walk down the streets of Honolulu for fear Leavitt s fight fans would discover what a good fighter really looks like. Bobo Olson's downfall, he surmised, could he attributed lo the tad that he let outside events worry him, like his marital troubles. "Take Gene Fullmer, for example the new middleweight champion-he doesn't think. He Just goes to sleep like a babe the night before a flght-doesn'l even let Sugar Ray's psychological warfare bolher him." About Potgieter. the 3.15-pound giant?
