that figure skating was sort of
off our beat
But two falr-sklnned guys
came In fast, and assured, "John
son Is right. 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

rinn and picture performances.
They started cavorting about

St. Paul, Minn., years ago, much

BOLDEN THIS EVE
Chicago, Dee. 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.
