THE OLYMPIC GAMES, always
ton drawer In tha snorts world, will
have added spice this year when
the tracK and ueia events are un
ravelled In Finland next month.
It will be Interesting to see If
Russia has the strength It boasts.
My guess is the Russians will be
caught with their boasts down.
Glowing reports pop out from be
hind the Iron Curtain that Red
athletes are Jumping like kanga
roos, running like gazelles.
But the big majority of the re
ports are unofficial and treated
with skepticism In the United
States.
The chips will be down In the
Helsinki classic.
It's virtually a foregone conclu
sion the Americans are a shoo-in
again in the cinder department
The Russ have never competed
in spike events In the International
competition so it's mainly a matter
of guesswork to determine Red
talent.
Germans, re-entering the Games
again for the first time since ituo,
are making noises again.
Both Germany and Russia say
they'll get "their quota ot points.
It's my belief "their quota" won't
be much.
BACKERS OF Rocky MarciBno
who meets Hary (Kid) Matthews
July 28 In BYankee stadium orawi,
sk "who has Matthews fought?"
A logical question, but one that
can also be asked of the Brockton
Blockbuster. , . ,
When Marciano fought and
knocked out Joe Louis he was
fighting a name, not a man.
In bis most recent outing, Mar
ciano looked far from good in beat
ing aged Lee BavoldV a- veteran
who has long since been wallop
weary. Both have beaten Rex Layne,
whose only claim to fame was a
win over Jersey Joe Wolcott when
the Old Man had an off night.
Perhaps the answer is that both
Matthews and Marciano fans arent
sure of how good their boys are.
Matthews has style. He can box. j
Marciano swings with emphasis1
but can't be called a cutie as a
boxer.
Both can hit, but hard.
Class should tell. Lest readers ot
this column forget. I picked Mat
thews last week to win in six heals.
AT THE same time, I picked
Sugar Ray Robinson to beat Joey
Maxim.
I missed on this one, but still
maintain the heat had more to do
with Sugar's defeat than did Pal
Joey.
At least its a
breathed a sigh of relief when
Robinson crumpled to the canvas
near the end of the 13th without
the benefit of a Maxim punch.
Robinson was ahead on two scor
ing cards 10-3 and 9-3-1 when the
end came. c
He could have played hide-and-
seek for two rounds with Maxim
and won handily.
I don t leel badly about missing
on this one.
And I made an army of sccond
guessers happy.
They may have their innings
again July 28.
