EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON)
Rocky Heavy Favorite Over Cookell
Rich 'Gate'
Foreseen For
Title Battle
San Francisco (U.R) Hera
are the pre-batlle statements
before tonight's world heavy
weight championship fight:
Don Cockell I have trained
long and faithfully. I'm in the
best condition of my career.
I'm confident I will win. I'm
trained to go 15 rounds, but
I'll do my best to end it before
then. The betting odds do not
bother me. I've been an under
dog before, and won. I won't
let the folks at home down.
Rocky Marciano I'll do my
best to keep the title here in
the United Stales. I expect a
hard fight and I'm trained for
one. I won't go rushing out at
him. but I'll try to knock him
out as soon as oossible. My.
nose doesn't worry me. I never
predict how or when a fight
will end, but I'm confident
I'll win.

'San Francisco (U.R) Rocky
Marciano, a terrific slugger with
a tender nose, will defend his
world heavyweight crown to
night against England's Don
Cockell, the awkwardly plump
but fast-punching champion of
the British Empire.
This first Anglo-American bat
tle for the heavy title in 18
years is expected to attract about
28,000 to Kezar stadium, an oval
San Francisco (U.R) Chal
lenger Don Cockell of England
weighed in twice today at
20S and 205 pounds for his
heavyweight title clash with
Rocky Marciano at Kezar Sta
dium .tonight.
Marciano scaled 189 pounds,
which was two more than he
registered last September for
his latest title defense against
Ezxard Charles.
football bowl on the south fringe
of Golden Gate park.
From the weather man came
an encouraging forecast of "fair,
cool and slightly windy." He said
temperatures would be in the
low 50's when the stocky "Brock
ton Blockbuster" and the roly
poly "Battersea Blimp" square
off at 11 p.m. EDT. Apparently
top coats will be popular.
Since the international "clas
sic" will not be televised to
homes, tHe promoters expect the
richest gate ever drawn by a
fight west of the Mississippi, ap
proximately $350,000.
Tommy Farr of Wales, the last
British challenger, failed to take
the crown from Joe Louis in
1937, but he lasted the distance.
Rocky Lopsided Favorite
Marciano. the ring's first perfect-record"
heavyweight cham
pion, is favored at the lopsided
odds of 10-1 to register his 48th
straight professional victory to
night as he makes his fifth
title defense.
But should underdog Don pro
vide an upset possibly by re
opening the split in Rocky's nose
he would be the first native
born English citizen to win the
heavy crown. Bob Fitzsimmons,
though born in England, was a
naturalized United States citi
zen when he took the title from
James J. Corbett in 1897.
In case of a Cockell victory
they are contracted for a return
title bout somewhere in the
United States within 90 days.
Thirty - year - old Marciano.
of Brockton, Mass., a plodding,
bob-weave slugger, is heavily
favored over the upright, 26-year-old
boxer because of his
punch, ruggedness and stamina.
Also because the challenger was
unimpressive in training.
Rocky, who wrested the
crown from Jersey Joe Walcott
in 1952, has knocked out 41 of
his 47 opponents. Cockell, an
"in-and-outer" during most of
his career, stopped 26 of 72, or
one-half of his opponents. His
61-10-1 record discloses he was
slopped five times.
Mutual Opponents
Against four mutual oppon
ents. Rocky stopped Harry Mat
thews (2). Roland LaStarza (11)?
Freddie Beshore (4) and out
pointed Don Mogard. Cockell
beat Matthews three times, once
by a kayo (8). and outpointed
the other three men. His latest
two bouts with Matthews at Seat
tle marked Don's only American
appearances.
Neither champion nor chal
lenger fought this year. Cockell's
last engagement was with Mat
thews on July 30, Rocky's was
the second title brawl with Ez
zard Charles, Sept. 17. The cham
pion kayoed Ezzard in the
eighth round. But earlier in the
bout Rocky suffered an inch
split in his left nostril. Whether
the split will be reopened to
night is a major question.
There will be no home tele
vision, but the bout will be ear
ned on the largest closed-circuit
theater TV network ever as
semblad. Approximately 250.000
may see it in 83 theaters in 59
cities. The promoters will get
at least one dollar for each the
atre ticket sold.
It will be broadcast in the

The Salem Senators moved up
a couple of notches in Northwest
league standings Sunday by tak
ing both ends of the only base
ball doubleheader the weather
allowed to the league.
The Senators snowed hitting
power and strong relief pitch
ing to beat Spokane, 13-6, in
the first game and then follow
up with a 2-1 win over the In
dians in the nightcap. An eight
run first inning for Salem in the
opener decided that game early.
In the second game, league-leading
hitters Gene Tanselli and
Don Frailey teamed up to get
the two fourth-inning runs that
won for Salem.
Tri-City's Braves won a rain
shortened six-inning game from
Wenatchee, 9-1, at Kennewick.
The second game of the sched
uled doubleheader was called off
because of the, downpour.
The weather also postponed
the scheduled doubleheader be
tween the Eugene Emeralds and
Lewiston Broncs.

smasher Jack McGrath was in
the making today for the Memo

nearly 50 cars and drivers pre

Eight cars and drivers passed
the stiff 10-mile sprints during

even keener competition held
qualifiers to a minimum.
McGrath, 35 - year - old Ingle

chief mechanic, also dashed
around the oval at a clip of
143.793 mph on his first lap to
retake records wrested from him
less than three hours before by
two-time winner Bill Vukovitch.
McGrath, Vukovitch and Fred
die Agabashian, all Californians,
bested McGrath's 1954 one and
four lap records of 141.287 and
141.033 mph respectively in the
speedway's biggest burst of
speed in history.
Vukovich, the 36 -year -old
Fresno filling station operator,
did 141.309 on his first lap and
averaged 141.071 mph overall.

United Press Correspondent
Chicago (U.R) American
farms are getting larger and
fewer.
The number of farms in Illi
nois is the lowest since the Civil
War period. But the present land
area of Illinois farms is nearly
half again larger.
The average Nebraska farm
advanced from 157 acres in 1880
to 451 acres in 1953, a growth of
nearly 300 per cent.
Missouri has lost 39,000 farms
in the past 20 years, Minnesota
28,000 and Texas 171,000.
A rural revolution seem? to
be erasing steadily from the na

O LOCAL TSADIMAIua. I
Farms Larger and Fewer
the Oklahoma's Agricultural
board, explained it this way:
"The ability of one man to
farm more acres is the principal
reason for the reduction in the
number of farms. The trend to
ward grassland and the fact that
land is so costly are other fac
tors. A young man who wants to
be a farmer these days has to
have considerable capital in or
der to get started."
This was reflected in a report
on Texas agriculture. There were
170,450 fewer farms in Texas
in 1950 than in 1935. But while
the value of the 501.017 farms
in 1935 was set at $2,573,704,
000, the 331,567 farms in 1950
were valued at $6,720,531,000.
The year 1935 apparently was
the high point of U.S. agriculture
in total number of farms. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture
reported there were 6,814,000
farms that year, 1,389,000 more
than in 1954. New York state's
1935 farm population was 784,
483. In 1950 it was 577,654.
Not Much Money
There was an abundance of
farms and farmers in 1935 but
not much money. A Washington
agriculture observer said the
1935 farm total 343,000 higher
than 1925 was a reflection of
the depression. People, he said,
couldn't make a living in town,
so they went back to the farm.
Then, as the nation's economy
improved, the flow reversed.
Math Dahl, No'rth Dakota's
commissioner of agriculture,
said that following World War
II "the more successful farmers
bought up more property.
"Nobod quits an occupation if
there's money in it," Dahl added
The New England state in
1935 had a total of 158,241 farms.
In 1940 that total was 135,190.
In 1945 it was 150,311 and in
1950 there were 103,225 farms
a loss of 55,016 in 15 years.
Roy J. Freeland, secretary of
Kansas' board of agriculture,
said that about 13 V4 per cent of
the U.S. population is producing
agricultural needs for the entire
nation. A hundred years ago,
Freeland said, 80 per cent of the
population was .required to do
the same job.
Population Released
"This means," Freeland laid,
"that 60 per cent of our popula
tion has been released to devote
their time to other activities
which increase the standard of
living of the nation."
Freeland said that some coun
tries, still need 80 per cent of
their population to supply food.
