boys living In fox holes that arc
muddy, fighting land crabs, mos
quitoes, malaria and dysentery in
addition to the Japs; not chang
ing their clothes for days and
talking about home all the time
they are fighting.
"You mothcrti, fathers and sis

John Greco
May Fight
Beau Jack
Ninteon-Year-Old Johnny
Won Ovar Cleo Sham at
Square Gardens Last Night
NEW YORK, Feb. 27 WO
Whoa you consider tho red un
derwear and white whiskers, you
can see at a glance that Santa
Cluus and Private Johnny Greco
don't resemble each other even a
llttlo bit except that they both
get intot a place the same way.
Even six-year-old Junior can
tell you old St. Nick moves into
a spot through the roof. And
that s more or less the way Pri
vate Johnny, the brand new,
rip-snorting sensution of the
lightweights, has taken to get
right up front and center in the
punching picture so front and
center, as a matter of fact, that
Promoter Mike Jacobs is talking
toaay aoout Hatching him with
Beau Jack, the champ.
Nineteen -year -old Johnny's
latest Job of work around here
was in whacking Cloo Shans
considerably and roundly in 10
rounds of blood -and - thunder
thumping In Madison Square
garden last night. And he turn
ed the trick in his first crack at
tho big tiino. Ho came right in
through the top of the fight
game tne garden.
Last night, Jacobs took a
chance on him in the top spot in
a card of "No Name" fighters.
And today, Greco is not only be
ing tabbed as the best young
lightweight prospect to come
down the pike in quite a piece,
but more than a couple of bash
boulevard elders figure he'h
have more than a "prayer" to
knock off the Beau if and when
they collide.

Lanky Ray Robinson to
Fight os Pvt. Walker
DETROIT, Feb. 27 (JP)
Lanky Ray (Sugar) Robinson,
probably the best fighter never
to have won a championship,
is ready to step into a real fight
Tuesday as Pvt. Walker Smith
of the U. S. army after wiping
his slate clean with a decisive
victory over tough Jacob La
Motta, whom he spotted 15
pounds.
Robinson, the pride of New
York's Harlem and uncrowned
king of the welterweights,
cleaned up on unfinished busi
ness as a champion should by
getting off the floor to out
punch La Motta, the one-man
riot from the Bronx, before 15,
149 spectators who paid J60,
710 at Olympia stadium last
night. La Motta weighed 160.
The verdict received the
unanimous support -of Referee
Sam . Hcnnessy and the two
Judges, and it amply avenged
Sugar Ray's only setback in a
132-fight career at La Motta's
hands three weeks ago. Hen

PULLMAN, Feb. 27 (JP)
Finals of the northern division
swimming tournament will be
held here today, with Oregon
and Washington universities hav

four of the 30 places in the five
event semi-finals yesterday.
Oregon and Washington each
claimed 13 places.
Oregon State qualified three,
Washington State one and Idaho
none.
Irrespective of yesterday's re

an entry in the finals of the

ing the seventh when he had
Sugar boy on the deck for an
eight-count with two even.
Neither judge gave La Motta
more than two rounds.
In his dressing room, Robin
son, a former Detroit newsboy
who had beaten Jolting Jacob
last fall in New York, just bub
bled all over with elation. Many
customers roundly booed : the
verdict, probably because La
Motta had gathered a huge per
sonal following here, but Rob
inson didn't seem to mind.;
La Motta, drawing on supe
rior weight, grew stronger as
the light progressed, and in the
seventh be dropped Robinson in
his own corner with a straight
left. Sugar Ray took the count
calmly and after the intermis
sion seized the initiative in the
last three heats.
Going into the army, Robin
son's record reads: 131 victories,
95 by knockouts, and one de
feat. That will do until some
thing better comes along.
SOS for Ball
Players, Phils
Campaigning
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27 (JP)
An SOS for ball-players any
who are free agents and arenot
1-A in the draft went out from
the Philadelphia Phils office to
day, the first move in new own
er Bill Cox's campaign to re
build the National league's weak
est team.
The club's manager, - Bucky
Harris, issued a blanket invita
tion to all eligible men with eith
er major or minor league exper
ience he excluded sandlotters
asking them to call at his of
fice here before the team leaves
March 21 for spring training at
Hershey, Pa.
"If they are good enough, their
expenses will be paid," he said.
"And some may even be per
mitted to come to Hershey and
work with us to show what they
can do."
Harris said he was extending
the bid because so many minor
leagues have folded for the dura
tion. Baseball Commissioner
Landls has held that franchises
in these leagues are frozen, but
the players have been ruled free
agents.
