TWO DYNAMITE left hooks has
made a flstlo also-ran and a be
liever. The also-ran Is highly-publicised
Harry (Kid) Matthews.
The believer is me a Matthews
(an for many montiis now and one
f the blokes that picked the Idaho
Hot Potato to win by a' knockout
tlondav nlKht.
In case you don't know, the Ruy
on the business end of the two
left hooks was Rocky Marciano,
the Brockton Blockbuster.
Bv any other name, he gets my
unqualified vote now as the world s
best heavyweight, the next cham
pion. WHAT IS Marciano's main claim
to lame as a ringman, besides his
lullabv wallops?
Here's what I gather from stories
I've read on the ex-GI and em
phasized by his two-round blackout
of Matthews Monday nigut in
Yankee stadium.
Marciano is the type of fighter
that comes along once in a long
time a savage workman who
swings until something gives.
The ringwise call it "killer's
instinct."
Not a nice phrase perhaps but
the fight business isn't a nice
business.
The most notable owner of this
killer Ingredient was Jack De mo
sey, who came at foes with a blue
black beard and mayhem in mind.
A nice guv outside the ring
generous with his friends and good
to his mother but a snarling sav
age when facing a foe across the
squared circle.
"KILLER'S INSTINCT" .is a
boxing phrase you don't hear as
much as you used to.
For the simple reason that It
Isn't seen as often.
- Joe Louis, as great as he was,
didn't have ft except for one fight
when he unhinged Max
Schmeling 4n a rematch because
the scowling German directed un
complimentary pre-fight remarks
toward Americans in general and
Negroes in particular.
Strangely enough, the closest
thing I've seen to "killer's instinct"
since I was a small lad attending
fights with my dad. was last Fri
day night at the Armory.
Ralph Weiser had it when he
hit Jerry Renaud with everything
but the ring posts. ,
Sparring partners were looking
tor other employment in Mar
ciano's drills for the Matthews
Xighu
He was mean. leveling as if the
chips were down.
It's a sure mark of a fighter
that is somewhat better than good.
It's the reason Marciano will
bat aged Joe Walcott out in
September.
BECAUSE THE Finns are nice
people, the Russians have been
permitted to pull off the greatest
steal in the history of the Olympic
Gaines.
What shouVi have been an easy
win for the United States and an
ordinary showing by Uie Russians
was turned into a larce ov rec'
ognlslng bv the hosting Finland'
ers of "gymnastics" as a series
of Individual events rather than
as simple team competition.
The Russians, men and women.
scored 187 points to America a 1
point via dumb bells, long horses
and such.
The main event of every Olym
piad since renewal of the Games
m 1896 has been the track and
field championships, where the
Americans won bands down as ex
pected. Although team scoring is unof
ficial, the Russian newspaper Prav
da has come up with this: "The
Soviets, as usual, lead all other
nations.
WHILE MINORITIES were in
terested in such entertainment as
two - oars - with cox. greco-Roman
wrestling, the erjee finals and
gymnastics, 70.000 fans filled the
stadium each day lor track ana
lie d
Sportswriter Deke Houlgate asks
logicallytHow could anyone even
a Russian reason that six women
bouncing around In a gvm was
more important than an American
1-2-3 in tne snot pui7"
A case in point on this query:
Six Soviet gals grabbed all six
places and the 25 points that went
with tnem in tne norse vaun.
O'Brien, Hooper and Fuchs col
leced It.
It's very likely the United States
could have scored even more
heavily in track and field events
but lor the traditional agreement
that no nation could enter more
than three athletes in a single
event.
For some strange reason, this
universal understanding was
waived in gymnastics and up to
eight competitors took part in oo ui
the men's and women's tests.
LET'S AT LEAST be consistent.
I second Houlgate's suggestion
that no nits scored bv America and
other nations in the Winter Olym
pics be added retroactively to those
scored in Finland.
That would boost our total ssw
and give winner Norway an extra
125 .
The Russians, who had "cased"
the Winter Olympics, didn't enter.
Instead thev rode to a propo-ganda-tinged
victory at Helsinki on
gymnastics.
over tne years, host nations nave
expanded the schedule to a redicu
lous point. Germany did it in 1936
ana Tron, a gimmicK just a
little less comical than the one Just
put over by the Russians.
ix tne trend continues, iooe zor
hop scoteh. mumbly peg and horse
shoes as recognized competition in
1936.

Brazilians, 57 to 33
HELSINKI (fl The United
States Olympic basketball team
came from behind in the second
half to deleat Brazil, 57 to 53
Wednesday and remain undefeated
in Olympic competition.
Brazil led 26-24 at half tune
It was the sixth straight Olympic
victory for the United States,
which now enters the final round
robin competition.
The American players seemed
dead on their feet and, despite
their height advantage were not
getting the ball off the backboards.
They also were off on their shoot
ing and missed frequently on very
easy chances.
" Brazil gained control midway in
the first half, as Angelo Bonfiettl,
a Brazilian fireball, sent his team
into the lead with three one-handed
field goals from behind the fol
line.
Bonfiettl and Alfredo Rodrlguas
da Motta continued hitting and
early in the second hall Brazil led
30 to 26.
With Brazil leading 31-30, sev
eral Brazilians protested the ref
eree's decision on a jump ball. The
referee, a Czech, called a techni
cal foul.
Clyde Lovellette made the gift
toss and followed it a few seconds
later with a tip-in to put the United
States ahead.
Brazil drew even again at 34-34,
but Mark Frelburger of the Pe
oria, HI., Caterpillars, put America
ahead again with a left hand
hook shot and the U.S. never was
beaded.
Coach Warren Womble again
mixed up his AAU and University
ol Kansas players in the lineup.
The team did not look as sharp,
however, as it did in beating Chile
103-55.
Womble rested big Bob Kurland,
Dean Kelley and Bob Kenney. All
the other American playes saw action.
