WESTERNERS CONCLUDE MARCIANO POOR BOXER By HAL WOOD Ran Francisco (U.R) In the after-glow of-the Marciano-Cock- rell heavyweight fight: Most Westerners who never before had seen "The Rock" in action as a champion, came to the conclusion that he probably is the poorest boxer of all the heavyweight champions in the modern era. Marciano missed so far. three punches so wildly and lunged so clumsily after missing that the fans wonder how he holds onto the championship. The answer, of course, is the knock-out punch. WOULDN'T DRAW PEANUTS J A rematch between Cockell and Marciano in San Francisco wouldn't draw peanuts. Cockell has great courage but such men as Archie Moore would make him appear ridiculous. The guy just doesn't have championship talent. his wares in either city before. WENT SHOPPING Cockell's wife, sitting at ring side took a fearful mental beat ing as she watched her husband get cut up by Marciano. But the British champion said later that she didn't appear overly upset by his defeat. "In fact," said Don, "she asked me for some money and then went shopping." . STOP AND THINK And those who would watch Carl (Bobo) Olson, middleweight titleholder and local hero, with Marciano should stop and think twice on -the subject of Olson having his head knocked off his shoulders. "Bobo is a much better boxer, but he never would be Able to slow down the bull-like rushes of the bigger Marciano. LAYNE-COCKELL? Just wondering: How about a fight between Cockell and Rex Layne? These two have the same build, same lack of defense and the same ability to take it on the chin. It would be a great fight for the television fans. NOT TOO DISAPPOINTED There is talk that San Fran cisco never will get another heavyweight championship fight because of the poor attendance for this one about 18,000 fans paying $196,720. But Interna tional Boxing club representa tives weren't too disappointed. They realized that this fight, held in New York, may not have done any better at the gate. Af ter all, Cockell never had shown t TIMBER FOR SALE. UNITED-STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT.

For five years, Australia had squabbled about putting a track and field stadium on its hallow ed Melbourne cricket ground, about importation of horses, about the bicycle track, about wages for union builders, about accommodation for visitors.

The games begin in Novemb er, l9ob, wnicn is Australia s summer weather. Proof Positive v Brundage said he wanted proof positive" Australia could put on the Olympic when Me goes to the IOC meeting in Par is next month for the commit tee's review of the 1956 games Australia is now busy giving that proof.

It will accommo date 120,000 compared with Hel sinki's 80,000 and the previous highs in Los Angeles of 105,000 in 1932 and Berlin's 90,000 in 1936. It's full speed ahead, too, at Olympic park an old sports arena about half a mile from the cricket ground. It will wind up with a cycling track, foot ball and hockey fields as well as a "futuristic" swimming pool The impasse over Australia's stringent quarantine restrictions on horses was finally solved by moving the equestrian events to Stockholm, Sweden Biggest nut yet to crack is construction of an Olympic vil lage to house the 5000 athletes who will compete.
