EIGHT MIDrORD (OREGOlf) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, November 24, 1953 ii SlPdDffiTrS Washington Stands Behind Cherberg In Player Beef; Assistant Coach Ousted By ELDON BARRETT Seattle, Wash. (U.PJ The University of Washington today appeared to be standing behind Coach Johnny Cherberg despite a revolt by 33 players who pro tested his "tyrannical methods." Yesterday the school fired backfield coach Jim Sutherland, who was known to differ with Cherberg over some coaching policies, especially the handling of quarterback Sandy Lederman Sugar Ray To Rely On Punch Alone By JACK CUDDY Greenwood Lake, N.Y. (U.R) Sugar Ray Robinson, ambitious to become "a crusader for my people," will gamble on punch along to recapture the middle weight championship from Carl (Bobo) Olson at Chicago Sta dium, Dec. 9, he said today. "My best chance is to win on a knockout, and I'll take that chance because I'm determined to win," declared the former middleweight and welterweight ruler, here at his training camp. Matured in body and mind at 35. slender Ray explained he had lost his younger yen to be a son g-and-dance man. Instead, "I'll devote the rest of my life to crusading for my people." Stages Successful Comeback His desire to be an intertainer caused him to hang up his gloves and vacate the middleweight crown on December, 1952. He re turned to the ring this year and had six comeback fights. He won live. "I want to cooperate with the National association, for the Ad vancement of Colored People," he explained. "And I want to help with charities such as rais ing funds for the mother of Em mett Till, who was killed in Mississippi. As champion I could do much for the various causes." What did he mean by gam bling "on punch alone" to beat Olson? "I mean I won't try to out- box him; I'll go in to knock him out as soon as possible," he said. "I have the punch to do it. And I know the combination of blows that will take him out." Sugar Ray fought Olson twice before Hawaiian-born Bobo of San Francisco won the vacant crown in October, 1953. He knocked out Bobo in the 12th round in 1950 and outpointed him 1952. Depended On Spd, Too "In both those bouts I ' de "tended as much upon speed and skill as upon my punch," the ex champ said.

Sutherland's only comment was "Assistant coach, without ef figy. Willing to travel." Ch&rYiCira Viae VtAen in ' effigy and Tuesday was the fo cus point of a protest by 33 jun ior and senior members of the Husky squad who went to Cassill and asked that Cherberg be fir ed. They accused the head coach of using "tyrannical methods" and said "squad action to get rid of him has been a long time brewing." Squad Rule However, Cassill said he nev er had been in favor of "squad rule in any branch of athletics" and said Cherberg still was head man. "As Washington's coach he will handle the situation," said Cassill. "The decision he makes will be binding with the athlet ic department." Sutherland's one-year contract expires March 1, 1956. He came ! to Washington from University of California where he was an assistant to Lynn (Pappy) Wal dorf for' two years, including the year that Ronnie Knox was with the Bears. Sutherland was Knox's high school coach at San ta Monica and the highly public ized player left California last year to sit out a season of inel igibility before playing for UCLA this year. Lederman and fullback Mike Monroe, who still has one year of eligibility left, were unofficial spokesmen for the discontented players. Many of the tearn's top players were not involved, at least openly, in the rebellion. One player, who asked not to be identified, said: - "We went to Cassill to urge him to encourage Cherberg to resign quietly because he can not command team respect as head coach. We have the highest regard for him as a gentleman ! off the field." Vince Martinez Awarded Verdict Over Christensen St. Louis, Mo. (U.PJ A new ! ring canvas iook tne blame from both managers today for Wed nesday night's listless welter weight match in which Vince Martinez coasted to a easy de cision over Chris Christensen. "My boy was slipping. He just couldn't set himself for a good right hand punch," complained Jimmy White, manager of Christ ensen. "The ring was like a skating rink," said Bill Daly, Martin eze's pilot. "Vince couldn't punch in combinations because he was sliding too often." Whatever the cause, the crowd booed lustily during the last two rounds of the nationally televis ed 10-rounder. Martinez's own behavior seemed to start it up. He wore a bored expression as he waited for Referee Jimmy Parker to pry Christensen off the ropes at the start of the ninth. 18th Straight The Paterson, N. J. battler, who copped his 18th straight vic tory, seemed almost ready to yawn. At that time, only a miracle in the form of one of Christen-! sen's wild righthand swings could have reversed the outcome. And the Copenhagen fighter, champion of Denmark, just couldn't get close enough to the elusive Vince to do any real dam age. Martinez used a swift and stiff left jab to pile up the points ''hat gave him the unanimous decis ion. Parker had it 57-43 in his favor; Judge Howard Hess saw it 56-55 and Fred Cornell, 58-42. r ; p.. it's time to shop! it's time to save! . "m j STARTS FRIDAY . .
