Roy Harris Doesn't Take
Kindly To Getting Beat;
Wants Toga Mighty Bad
Until he was 18 years old
Roy Harris, now 25, fought
barefooted and mostly for
the fun of it in and around
gut 'N Shoot, Texas, a
town of 192 souls. Now he
has won 22 straight profes
sional fights as a heavy
weight and on Aug. 18 will
meet champion Floyd Pat
terson for the title in Los
Angeles. This is the first of
three dispatches in which
Roy tells hit story, includ
ing why he thinks he can
become the world's heavy
weight champion.)
By ROY HARRIS
(Written Expressly for United
Press International)
Cut 'N Shoot, Texas UP&
Can I lick Floyd Patterson? J
honestly think so or I would
n't be going in there to fight
him for the heavyweight
championship.
None of us Cut 'N Shoot
folks, and particularly the
Harrises, ever took kindly to
getting beat at anything. And
I want that title mighty bad
Let me tell you a story
about my brother, Tobe, who

is two years older than me,
It may help explain how
much I want to be heavy
weight champion.
Tobe has quite a reputation
around Cut 'N Shoot because
when he was only 14 he went
back into the swamp alone
nd caught the biggest bull
alligator anyone ever saw in
captivity in these parts.
This fellow was 14 feet
long and weighed about a
ton. Tobe's big and strong,
was even then. He looped a
rope argund that 'gator's jaw,
flung the other end ground
its tail, and tied it so that the
more the 'gator threshed
about, the tighter the rope
O got.
The 'gator overturned his
boat and dragged him ashore,
but he fastened the big ugly
thing to a tree and marched
out to get help lugging it
home.
From Fighting Stock
To me, I guess the heavy
weight championship is like
that bull gator. I've been fist
lighting since I was knee
q hiijh to a puddle duck, and
now I've got a chance to make
my dream come true.
I come from fighting stock.
My dad, Big Henry, licked Ed
Dunnaway, the heavyweight
champion of the South, a cou
nle of times back in thf '20V
Dacf and my uncles, Jack and
Bob, were known as about the
roughest guys to tangle with
in ogr whole area what we
cll the "Big Thicket."
And they didn't usually
Mother to put on boxing
jloves in those days, either.
I guess I first started box
igg when Tobe traded some
ducks for a set of boxing
gloves. We set up a home
made ring in the yard and
vnt at it day and night.
When we got tired of belting
each other, we'd take on oth
er guys from all over the
Thicket and even some loud
mouths Dad used to haul back
from the honky-tonks in Con-

roe, the nearest big town, just
for laughs.
Tobe turned pro and won
24 out of 27 bouts. Then he
fell off a horse and hurt his
shoulder and had to quit. Our
younger brother. Little Hen
ry, is a good prospect, too.
He's playing high school foot
ball now and has won a lot of
amateur fights. One day, he
even knocked me down when
we were working out.
Proud of Trophy
I had 80 or so amateur
fights and won the Texas
Golden Gloves championship
four times middleweight
and light heavy. I got to the
finals of the Chicago tourna
ment one year but had to
withdraw because I caught a
virus. I got a sportsmanship
trophy, though, and I was
proud of that.
Another thing that happen
ed in Chicago, I was on the
Dave Garroway show. He
liked the name Cut 'N Shoot
so much it got so that, when
he announced the tempera
ture in various places in the
country, he'd say "Cut N
Shoot" instead of Houston, 50
miles away.
That's only the beginning
of how I hope to put Cut 'N
Shoot on the map. It's only
got a population of 192 a
school, a couple of churches,
a sawmill, a service station
and a grocery store.
But I don't guess anyone
had heard much about Manas
sa, Colo., either, until Jack
Dempsey came from there.
Being from a Small town
didn't keep Dempsey from be
coming heavyweight champ,
and like I said, that's what I
want more than anything.

Everybody Happy in Meet
Between U.S. and Russia
Moscow (UPD East is east
and west is west, especially
when it comes to figuring out
who won the dual track and
field meet between the U. S.
and Russia.
In the aftermath of the his
toric two-day athletic compe
tition everybody was official
ly happy.
The Americans were happy
because they won the men's
meet against a strong Soviet
squad by 126 points to 109.
The American women were
happy because they won four
out of ten events against the
"invincible" Russian ladies
and only lost by 44 points to
63 although they feared they
might be swamped.
Reds Are Happy
The Russians were very
happy indeed because by add
ing up men's and women's
scores they found they had
beaten the U .S. 172 points to
170.
Not even this quaint claim
by the Russians, ' who pre
viously had promised the
American team in writing
that it would regard the com
petition as two separate meets
could erase smiles all around.
"Let them claim it if they
want to," said U. S. Coach
George Eastment.
"What's the difference? We
aren't going to make an issue
of it," said Dan Ferris, honor
ary secretary of the Amateur
Athletic Union.
A few American eyebrows
shot up when the electric
scoreboard in the efficiently-
run 103,000-seat stadium be
gan to lump men's and wom
en's scores.
But the Russians have gone
out ol their way to be help
ful, friendly and hospitable
and officials of the American
team decided to let them
"have their fun."

Pete Rademacher accepted money for his appearance in
the ring against Zora Folley in Los Angeles, earned him
the questionable distinction of being classified as a pro
instead of an amateur. He was floored four times before
the referee finally took mercy on the fans and called
a halt at 1:15 in the fourth round of their scheduled 10
round bout Here Pete is shown after Folley dropped him
for the fourth and last time.

Chicago A campaign lo
help America's 12 million
hunters upgrade the 'standard
of hunter conduct afield and
win the confidence of the na
tion's farmers and ranchers
was announced today by The
Izaak Walton League of Amer
ica, national conservation org
anization. ' Titled the "Hunt America
Time" program, the campaign
will attempt to get the na
tion's hunters to sign a card
pledging observance of a
three-point "Hunt America
Time Pledge" to be law abid
ing, lo respect the rights and
property of others and to be
careful with fire and firearms.
In a letter to outdoor writ
ers, farm editors and key con
servation officials acrqss the
country accompanying a de
tailed description of the proj
ect, League executive director
Frank Gregg explained "Hunt
America Time" as three im
portant and related things: a
season when hunters go afield
to enjoy their heritage of pub
lice hunting; a program de
signed lo perpetuate lhal her
itage by raising Ihe standard
of hunter conduct afield; a
pledge offered lo America's
hunters" to prove Iheir ability
lo conduct themselves in a
sportsmanlike manner.
Gregg said that most chap
ter programs are expected to
get under way in mid-September,
but that dates will vary
with local hunting seasons.
The campaign will be held
annually, according to Gregg,
"because each year hundreds
of thousands of young people
hunt for the first time without
adequate instruction in their
responsibilites; and because
education of adult hunters is
a continous job."
The 1958 theme is "Respect
Private Property Save
Hunting!"
The IWL with financial aid
from the National Sporting
Goods association will provide
state and local League units
with complete kits of materi
als. The program is described as
successor to Red Cap Month,
a hunting safety and manners
program sponsored by the
League nationally in 1957, and
in turn derived from a similar
successful program initialed
by Oregon Izaak Walton lead
ers as Red Hal Days. A state
ment in the "Outline for Ac
tion" explains that the title
was changed in recognition
of research findings that yel
low is a better hunting safety
color than the traditional red,
and because Hunt America
Time more accurately de
scribes the scope of the pro
gram than the old title.
