Figure skating is the sport of the future." They were Roy and Eddie Shlpstead. We gave the Idea thought be cause we had been addressed by three millionaires three of the youngest millionaires in Amer ica the three guys who had put America on ice. Johnson and the Shlpstead brothers are the wealthy but eager-limbed owners of the "Ice Follies," which finished a long run tomorrow at Madison Square Garden and resume their tour of the country. All three skate every night of the Follies per formances, although each has enough wealth so he could re tire to luxury. Eddie Ship'tearl however, has a date with his draft board next week, and may bid farewell to his wife and three children at Enclnas, Calif These skating millionaires hope that Eddie makes the grade for service,, so they'll have one rep resentative In the fighting forces. Johnson Is too old; and Roy Shlpstead has been rejected be cause of a perforated ear drum. Johnson says: "I hope Eddie maker the marines; so we'll get this war over In a hurry. Then you'll see figure skating rise to Its proper place, and you'll see America win Its first Olympic championship in that event a championship that really be longs to us, because about 80 yeais ago, Jackson Haynes of Chicago developed the spins and twists and waltz strokes that he took to Europe and furnished the fundamentals of school fig ures that enabled European skat ers to stand out since then." Johnson and the Shlostead brothers popularized profession al ice shows and paved the way tor sonja Heinle's profitable rinn and picture performances. They started cavorting about the surface of Lake Como at St. Paul, Minn., years ago, much to tne irritation of Dark cons They performed between hockev periods In 1926 and '27. The three barn-stormed with varying success until 1933, when they appeared at the College room of the Hotel Sherman In Chi cago. Then they organized a touring rood company of 28 per formers. And they've been get ting bigger ever since until to day when they have an extrava ganza of 100 gals and 30 men BLADES SWITCHES New Orleans, Dec. 10.

UJ3 Gus Dorazio, lumbering heavyweight puncher from Philadelphia, will carry 6-5 favorite's 'odds and a 20-pound weight advantage against Chicago's Nate Bolden in a 10-round fight at the Chi cago stadium tonight. The bulky Dorazio finished his training yesterday at 194 pounds, while Bolden was rest ing and fattening himself to ward the 174-pound mark. The speedy Chicago negro hoped to use his speed to evade the heavy fists of Dorazio and wait for a chance to land the lightning punches he used in defeating Cleveland's Dan Merritt, who outweighed him by 39 pounds. Bolden, a hard worker, has had six fights since June 12, while Dorazio, an old-timer who doesn't believe in overwork, met Lem Franklin last June and Al Hart last month. Bol den's most notable victories In clude Tony Musto, Larry Lane, Curtis Sheppard, Claudio Villar and Merritt. The favorite's . role went to Dorazio chiefly on the strength of his superior weight and his impressive pounding of Frank lin, whom he climbed aooara tor 10 rounds last summer. In that fight, Dorazio bobbed and weaved continually, preventing Franklin from landing' a solid blow. It was this same crouching weave which the Philadelphia heavy hoped to use .against Bolden. "Whltey" Blbstein. Dorazio's wily trainer, drilled him in this low-slung technique in hopes of off-setting Bolden's speed. Bolden termed the fight tne most important engagement he has had in eight years and he hoped to use it as a springboard for bouts with Jimmy Bivins and Tami Maurlello.
