Marciano Starts 30-Day Exile
Following Win Over Reynolds
Providence,
Heavyweight contender Rocky
Marciano had cumbersome Ber
nie Reynolds neatly out of the
way and began a 30-day exile
from boxing Tuesday the
price he must pay for deceiving
his fans in the state of Maine.
Rhode Island reluctantly
went along with the suspension
imposed by the Maine State
Boxing Commission which pol-
R. I, (U.R) lilely set the date so the Brock
ton, Mass., strong boy could
fight a previously scheduled
bout with the former New Eng
land heavyweight titlist from
Fairfield, Conn.
Reynolds, weighing 185V4 to
Marciano's 1861 4 went out quiet
ly in two minutes and 21 seconds
of the third round when Rocky
stepped back from a clinch and
drove an overhand right to his
chin.
The triumph, Marciano's 36th
knockout in 40 professional
bouts, did little to offset the
mediocre ' performance Rocky
put on in his last television ap
pearance against once powerful
Lee Savold of Paterson, N. J.
Maine suspended Marciano for
using his kid brother as an op
ponent in a spring exhibition
tour and calling him by other
names. 'One of the monikers
picked at random was "Pete Ful
ler" who happens to be a widely
known Boston amateur and son
of former Gov. Alvan T. Ful
ler of Massachusetts.
Washington
Tops Ducks
By UNITED PRESS
Oregon't Webfoots still held
the Northern Division baseball
league lead Tuesday, but their
margin over second-place Oregon
State was too close for comfort.
The Washington Huskies
sneaked past the Ducks Monday,
6-4, to drop the leaders to with
in a half-game of their arch ri
vals. Washington broke a 4-4 tie In
the eighth Inning when Tom
Absher was hit by a ball pitched
by reliefer Bill Mays to force in
a run. Bill Stuht, Bill Early and
Roland Halle each had singled
to load the bases.
Husky hurler Bob Bell was
credited with his third victory.
Mays was the loser.
Spokane Indians After
Wenatchee Series Win
By UNITED PRESS
The surging Spokane Indians
hoped Tuesday they could in
crease their Western Interna
tional baseball league lead as
they prepared for a three-game
series with the seventh-place
Wenatchee Chiefs.
In other series opening Tues
day, Vancouver will be at Sa
lem, Victoria at Tri-City, and
Yakima at Lewiston.
With the U.S. 25th Division,
Korea iU.R) The Army's new
nylon vests are proving them
selves to be lifesavcrs in Korea,
the chief of a body armor test
team reports.
Lt. Col. Andrew Aines said 40
men wearing the nylon vests
have been hit by shell fragments
and no one has suffered a shrap
nel wound in the protected area.
Two to three thousand men
have worn the 12-laycr vest on
patrols since the tests began
February 7, Aines said.
Men More Ready
"The only man killed was hit
by a .30 caliber bullet," he add
ed. "Something the vest was not
expected to stop. Some of the
men have been wounded by shell
and grenade fragments, to be
sure, but none of the wounds
was suffered in the vital areas
of the body protected by the
vest where most fatal wounds
are inflicted." j
"Wearing the vest makes the
men more ready to go out and
follow their assignments," he
said. "They are more fluid In
their activities, they move faster
and officers in those units where
we have operated credit the
vests with instilling tremendous
amounts of confidence in the
men. It has resulted in much
better morale."
Vest Pierced
Sgt. Maynard Prcitauer, Park
er's Prairie, Minn., was caught
in enemy fire on the central
front. When he returned from
the patrol, this Is what he said:
"I was kind of surprised when
I examined the vest to find a
few layers of the vest had been
pierced by a small fragment. I
surely wouldn't have wanted to
be without the vest at that time."
Aines said the army is think
inR of a headgear of the same
nylon material to replace the
present steel helmets.
Although the vests have come
through combat with excellent
records, they have yet to be test
ed in summer weather condi
tions where the added weight a
soldier would be forced to carry
might impair his efficiency.
"I don't think hot weather
will have too much effect, how

equipment just because it is hot.
"Sweat never killed anybody
but a shell fragment can."
Aines said the tests probably
will continue for two more
months and may be prolonged If
further results are deemed nec
essary. "Psychologically speaking," he
said, "better protection for the
soldier is the order of the day.
Statistics have shown where
most casualties occur. We are
applying those statistics to prac
tical tests with these vests. The
results so far speak for themselves."

Juneau Man Wins $102,000
In Famed Alaska Ice Pool
Nenana, Alaska (U.R) The
Tanana river ice pack broke up
at 5:04 p.m. (Alaska time) Mon
day and Charles R. Montjoy,
Juneau, was the sole winner of
the $102,000 jackpot, largest in
the 36-year history of the famed
ice pool.
Montjoy, a supervisor for the
Alaska Native Service, was the
only ticket-holder to guess the
exact time the ice would begin
to move on the river at this Cen
tral Alaska community.
Three hundred persons, the
entire population of the village,
cheered as the ice broke up
with a mighty roar to herald the
coming , of spring to the Terri
tory. It was the unofficial signal
for riverboats to begin moving
supplies to winter-bound native
villages.
Montjoy'a winnings represent
ed a "one-in-a-million" guess. In
recent years the Tanana pool has
