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.

whom Sutherland also coached at
Santa Monica, Calif., high school. :
Announcement of the dismis
sal was made by Harvey Cassill,
athletic director, who issued a
statement which said Sutherland
was not included in Cherberg's
plans for next year.
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.
