How to judge whiskey value:
J. Have Vioz. of Calvert
put in one glass and the
same amount of any
other whiskey in another
without knowing
which is which.
BE YOUR OWN WHISKEY EXPERT I
The big difference in whiskey values is the
difference in taste. That's why it will pay you
to make an easy 60-second taste test between
Calvert Reserve and your present brand.
, We're sure you will prefer Calvert because
its smoother, mellower taste is protected
from bite, burn or sting by "vacuum distil
ling" at low temperature.
But don't take our word for it. Compare
and make your own choice. Fair ertouih?

pound, because he could switch

That right to the jaw knocked
challenger Rocky Graziano liter
ally kicking in the third round
of a scheduled IS round cham
pionship bout Wednesday night
in the Chicago Stadium before
22,264 screaming paying guests.
Kicks Vainly.
And when Referee Tommy
Gilmore swept his hands side
ways to indicate the count of 10
and the windup, Graziano was
on the deck kicking vainly with
his right foot in an effort to rise.
Graziano went down from a
left to the head and then that
short potent right, put in so fast
that many of the Stadium fans
and even more of the television
viewers must have missed it.
"I started a left jab," Robin
son said, "and turned it into a
left hook. Then I started a right
to the body, saw an opening and
turned it into a right to the jaw.
He went down and stayed
down."
Pawing Colt
Rocky did. He put his right
hand on the lower rope and his
right leg was in the air. His foot
never hit the canvas, despite his
effort to put it down, and he
kicked the air like a pawing colt
as Gilmore continued the count.
"I heard him go '8-9-10',"
Graziano said, "and I thought I
had plenty of time. But I just
couldn't get up.
It was no disgrace for Graz
iano to lose. He never backed
up, and he had champion Sugar
Ray cautious as a rookie in a big
league infield.
Graziano was saddened by the
outcome, chiefly because he be
lieved he could have won, had
he fought "my kind of fight."
"I should have stayed in
punching all the time," he said.
"Take a punch or two to get in
a few. I guess that was my mis
take." Oregon State
