disease.
More knowledge Is need

and her husband, George
Zaharias, set up a cancef

battle she lost. A year later

the aesthetic, and I hope that
doesn't come out anaesthetic
in view of the fact that these
days he describes himsslf as
a "widely acclaimed ei;trc
tainer" whose latest forte is
after dinner speaking.
"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

credit 1 including a trio of
movies and numerous, night
club appearances. His "Yoga
