You name it she won ill Golf, basketball, broad jump, hurdles, dis cus, javelin, high jump, and shot put. Cancer struck In ' 1853 and Babe, . and all her friends, hoped she'd win this too. She made come back and went on taking trophies but cancer struck again in 1955. Many lives are saved from cancer but many are lost because not enough Is known about this disease. More knowledge Is need ed and that means more research. And, that means more money. In 1955 Babe and her husband, George Zaharias, set up a cancef fund to help others win the battle she lost.

"My reception as such has been absolutely thrilling," he confides, . Draws Raves , Son of a symphony musi cian, he seemed destined for the arts before his muscles got him into trouble. Lou drew raves as a West Coast junior college grid tackle even though he insisted on wearing long underwear under his uni form on cold days and moved from there to the ring. Prepplng to battle Baer, he delved deeply into yoga and even studied Hindustani, One result was . his "dynamic stance,' a pugilistic pose which, it was hinted, required two left teets. Proving that this was a base canard by flattening Baer, Lou for their re-match evolved his "cosmic punch." It had something to do with the curvature of the earth and the wags were star tled when again Lou laid Maxie along the horizon, . But then Nova went back to head-standing under the yoga of the Louis fists. Yet, in fair ness, it must be stated that Lou stunned Louis in the fourth round. , "If I hadn't missed my big punch In that round, millions of people might be taking yoga more seriously now," says Lou morosely. Peddles Gadget But then he brightens and tells of his new gizmo for cur ing the ailing public. It's a gadget which makes yoga head-standing a . painless and effortless process. Constructed of tubular steel "and available in pink or blue"- it has a padded head rest but the weight is borne by padded shoulder bars. "I gained about 35 pounds," says the man who can do Casey at the Bat" while shadow boxing with the ap propriate grunts and snorts, So standing on my nead was hurting my neck. Therefore I invented this device and it makes yoga easy for anyone." Lou thinks little ot boxing these days, although he is proud that his bout with Lou is drew 56,873 "fight enthus iasts." He is determined to prove himself a heavyweight entertainer and while waiting to appear .in another Broad wiv olav has three to his credit 1 including a trio of movies and numerous, night club appearances.
