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

Halbrook Talks
To Oil Company .
, Portland (U.R) Swede Hal
brook, Oregon State's seven-foot
three inch basketball star, was
in Wichita, Kans., today to talk
to an AAU team.
Halbrook, who said "I miss
the Oregon State kids already"
shortly before he boarded a
plane here yesterday, was sus
pended from school April 30.
He was to talk to officials of
the Vickers Oil company team,
a new entry in the National In
dustrial Basketball league. Hal
brook said he could have his
choice of three jobs with the
oil company and attend Wichita
University in the off season.
The big center said he realiz

to take mathematics.
Halbrook said his ambition
was to make the 1956 Olympic
team.
Mountain Goats Fare '
Well In Wallowa Region
Portland Fat, sassy, and
nimble as mountain goats is the
word received from Bob Stein,
Oregon State Game Commis
sion field agent, concerning the
welfare of the band of mountain
goats that were transplanted in
to the Wallowa mountains of
eastern Oregon in March, 1950
by the commission. .
On. a recent "aerial flight to
check elk locations and snow
conditions, four goats were ob
served on a high, rocky ridge be
tween the Matterhorn and Saca
jawea peaks. One was a fine billy
with a yellowish coat and a large
set of horns, two were nannies,
and the fourth a strapping kid.
So Oregon has at least four goats
known to be alive, and has re
production in at least one animal.

Preparatory work has already
begun on the Rock creek ditches
near Olex.
This is the second segment of
the Oregon State Game commis

Pointing out the importance
of the screening program to the
preservation of the sport fish
ery, Howell stated that during
a one week's count in May at a
screen checking station on the
Umatilla river 725 trout and 28
steelhead were taken in the by
pass (rap and returned to the
main river. Had there been no
screen on this canal, these fish
would have entered and become
hopelessly lost in the small la
terals which spread through the
fields.
. Howell also pointed out that
during 1954, a monthly record
was kept of migrant fish trap
ped at 20 rotary screen by-pass
check stations on eight streams
in northeastern Oregon. At these
20 stations, a total of 89,235
trout, salmon and steelhead of
all sizes were prevented from en
tering irrigation ditches. The

already in operation on irriga
tion and power canals through

Aussies Now Striving Together
In Olympic Game Preparations
By ERIC RIEL
Melbourne, Australia (U.R)
Australia came perilously close
to losing the 1956 Olympic
games, but now the nation, is
finally pulling as a team to make
the next international sports
classic the best yet.
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.
A plain-talking visit to Mel
bourne last month by Avery
Brundage, International Olymp
ic committee president, served
to awaken Australia to the fact
it still was in danger of having
the Olympic moved elsewhere.
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.
Labor troubles have been over
come and work is going full
steam on the main stadium be
ing built on the cricket ground.
Officials expect to be finished
in June, 1956. 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. It Is being
built in a self-contained, town
ship within 20 minutes travel
ing time of the stadium.
