Time running out - Ken Lane waiting for title shot
MUSKEGON. Mich (iron
Time is running out for Kenny
Lane, the Muskegon belter who
has spent the last five years
waiting for another shot at the
lightweight championship of the
world.
Lane, 31 -year-old father of
three, is spending his time these
days fixing machines at the self
service laundromat and dry
cleaning establishment he bought
three years ago.
"If a guy only knew what was
going to happen. . .", Lane said
as he pondered the possibility of
getting Carlos Ortiz, the recog
nized lightweight champion every
where but in Michigan, into the
ring soon.
"It's been this way for years,
you get tired of waiting and it
gets especially tough when you
go broke. I had to wait so long
for that shot at Joe Brown and
now I'm still waiting for another
crack at it," Lane said.
"My wife would just as soon
have me quit and get a job
where you know when you're go
ing to work and how much mon
ey you'll earn at the end of the
week," he added.
Lane currently holds the Mich
igan version of the lightweight
crown whatever that means
after pounding out a unani
mous decision over Paulie Arm-
Th Bulletin, Wednesday, August 28, 1963
stead of Los Angeles at Saginaw
last week.
But it wasn't much of a pay
day for Lane or for Armstead.
The paid gate was only 2,200 and
more than that number got in
free.
In the confused world of pro
boxing, it's had to tell what will
come next for Lane.
The World Boxing Association
VBA, currently feuding with
Michigan boxing Commissioner
David Gudelsky, stripped Ortis of
his lightweight crown for failing
to defend it and then gave it
back the day before the Lane
Armstead fight.
The WBA also ordered Ortiz to
sign for a fight with the Lane
Armstead winner in 60 days.
"But I haven't heard anything
yei," Lane said. "I'm still wait
ing . . ."
The situation was also confused
when the WBA threw Michigan
out for "contemptuous attitude."
Gudelsky claims Michigan had
withdraw from the organization
before the state was kicked out.
Lane, who has never been
knocked out and has been
knocked off his feet only once,
turned pro on his 21st birthday,
April 9, 1933.
The stylish southpaw since that
time has won 76 fights, lost only
11 and fought in two draws.
He's been perennially rated the
No. 1 contender, but his only
shot at the title came in 1338 in
Houston against then champion
Brown. Lane lost a unanimous
15-round decision by a razor-thin
margin as the refpree and one
. judge gave the fight to Brown by
just one point.
The late Jack (Doc) Kearns,
thinking Lane was way ahead on
points, advised him to coast the
final two rounds, which Brown
subsequently won.
A rematch seemed likely, but
Lane could never get Brown Into
the ring again.
Since tlio bout with Brown,
Lane has fought Ortiz twice. He
gained a decision in 1859, but
when they (ought for the junior
welterweight championship the
following year, Ortiz won on a
TKO.
"Ho opened up a 16-stritch
gash on my forehead when he
butted me," Lane said.
Ortiz then dethroned Brown in
April of 1962, but Lane has been
unable to get Ortiz in the ring
for another shot at the title.
Lane was rated No. 1 until last
month when the WBA switched
the ratings and dropped him to
No. 2 and moved Armstead to
No. 1.
But Lane still has ambitions of
weal ing the crown some day.
"Ortiz is an overrated fighter,
first he makes the matches and
then they rate his oppoents, it's
ridiculous."
"It I get tht fight, I figure I
can beat him and then set up
some pretty good paydays as
champion," he added.
"That could really set me up
In the laundry business. It's a
good business."
But before he retires to the
laundry business, he wants to
wear the crown.
He's wailed long enough for it.
A LOOK AT
Epssssssa SPORTS
Coaches note grid
fervor in all camps
If the grunting and groaning
and the roaring out on Bruin
practice field is any indication,
the fighting Lava Bears of Bend
High School may be off to a roar
ing start this year.
Coaches Tom Winbigler and
Hoot Moore have indicated that
the 1963 Lava Bears will have
more enthusiasm (and size) than
in recent years.
"This is just about the best
bunch I've ever coached," Moore
disclosed during a brief lull yes
terday. He hastened to point out,
however, that the Bend squad is
not of the best ability he's had an
opportunity to mentor, but that
the Bruin attitude is "tops."
Could it be that the Bruins have
taken a shot in the arm? Could it
be that the Lava Bear enthusiasm
and attitude towards the rock 'em
sock 'em sport has been rejuvi
nated? Yessiree. . .it looks that
way.
10 RtfMrt
Head Coach Winbigler got 80
gridders (excluding freshmen)
out for the football. This sets a
record. Though Winbigler and his
staff are enthusiastic about his
team in general, they are even
more pleased with tho crop of
Bend sophomores. "They may
not have been tops as freshmen,"
he pointed out, "but many of them
.-nave grown considerably, and in
couple of years will be real
bearcats."
Winbigler pointed out in particu
lar two individuals who will be
real badgers in the Intermoun
tain League during the next two
years. They are both quarter-
'. hacks: Bruce May and Rick
Nicholson.
Among his green gridders, Win-
.bigler got nine returning letter
men and about three regulars.
But Bend is not the only camp
where enthusiasm abounds.
j - Prineville Excited
Up at Prineville people are
really excited. The Cowboys have
a brand new coach and a brand
new svstem. "Watch-out" holler
the Crook County grid fans. Coach
George Dowling has brought a
combination for grid competition
to the Crook camp. Dowling, an
ex-Idaho gridder, has brought a
Skip Stahley offense aboard. It
goes with split ends and a slot
back for razzle dazzle. He also
has brought the University of
Washington's challenge system
that Coach Jim Owens up there
has made work so well.
No gridder at Prineville will go
without his chance. Coach Dowl
ing has slated a full game scrum
for Saturday, September 7, with
the losing team eating beam as
the victors slurp steaks.
Panthers Rudy
Redmond Coach Doe Savage Is
new as head mentor, but he is a
veteran Panther coach. He is en
thusiastic, too. The 'Cats got 60
out on their football call. There
are about 11 lettermen returning,
five of which were regulars for
the Panthers last year. Savage
mentioned that he will have small
er backs, but his line will be aver
age. Though he boasts no speed
in particular, Savage did point out
that senior Dennis Moore will be
tough to contend with.
Up at Madras, Coach Frank
Good is determined to shake the
label as being league doormat.
About 45 reported to football on
the initial call, but Good expects
at least 15 more. The mint har
vest, it appears, is causing a cer
tain number to delay practice
until the harvest is over.
"It really hursts us," Good
said. "We need two solid weeks of
practice with a full squad to be
ready." Good, however, will have
16 lettermen back when they all
get on the field. Madras will go
with small backs. Good's line is
the question mark.
Good has a bright spot. Madras
will open its grid season at home
for the first time in 10 years. They
tackle wide-open, fast La Grande,
who, like Prineville and Redmond,
has a new head mentor.

Hopalong Cassady, once highest

dozen veterans looking for jobs
By United Press International
Howard (Hopalong) Cassady,
the highest paid rookie in the Na
tional Football I-eague seven years
ago, today was just one of nearly
two dozen veteran players look-
' lng for jobs.

the St. Louis Cardinals for a fu

Two injured Baltimore Colts'
veterans, defensive tackle Bill
Ventura and defensive back Bob
Boyd, were placed on the injury
waiver list and flanker Bake Turn

In addition to Cassady, the
Eagles asked for waivers on line
backer John Nocera and defen

Soaring Yankees now
claim hottest toss staff
By United Press International
Talk about the rich getting
richer.
The New York Yankees, who
have opened a hefty 12V4 game
lead in bidding for their 14th pen
nant in 17 years, now are brag
ging about the hottest pitching
staff in the majors. v
Four different men have huried
shoutouts for the Yankees in their
last five games. Whitey Ford and
Al -Downing started the white
wash jobs against the Chicago
White Sox last weekend, then Jim
Bouton and Ralph Terry blanked
the Boston Red Sox in a double
header Tuesday night.
So in addition to spread-eagling
the American League, the Yank
ees are closing in one a club rec
ord for most shutouts in a sea
son. Manager Ralph Honk's cur
rent staff has 18 to its credit,
only six short of the team stand
ard set in 1951 by the likes of
Vic Raschi, Ed Lopat and Allie
Reynolds.
Bouton, a part-time jeweler,
nearly carved a no-hit gem in
the opener against the Red Sox.
Ho settled for a two-hit, 5-0 vic
tory. Terry spaced five hits in
winning the nightcap, 3-0.
Pinch hitter Russ Nixon broke
up Bouton's no-hit bed when he
led off the Boston ninth with a
line drive that almost hit the
Yankee pitcher. Gary Gciger fol
lowed with another single but the
chunky riffht-hader preserved the
shoutout when Chuck Schilling
bounced into a double play and
Carl Yastrzomski grounded out to
end the game.
It was Bouton's 18th victory
and fifth shoutout of the season.
In the second game, the Yankees
scored all their runs in the eighth
innine with the help of a two-
run double by Yogi Berra to ease
Terry to his 15th triumph.
The Chicago White Sox moved
Into a second place tie with the
idle Minnesota Twins by ripping
the Cleveland Indians, 6-1; the
Detroit Tigers downed the Los
Angeles Angels, 4-1, for their
sixth straight triumph, and the
Kansas City Athletics edged the
Baltimore Orbles, 2-1, in 10 in
nings. In the National League, the
Cubs nipped the Phillies, 4-3; tlie
Pirates clipped the Mets, 2-1; the
Braves turned back the Colts, 3
2; the Dodgers downed the Reds,
3-2 and the Giants defeated the
Cardinals, 7-2.
