The new heavyweight champion will net off the floor when knocked down. He positively can take it. He la totally unafraid and aggres ilve. hits as though swinging a baseball bat. Marclano la. however, unques tionably Uie crudest heavyweight ever to Ret a crack at the crown, let alone win It. He la the first heavyweight Champion who has to be schooled. Well aware of this, Walcott proceeded to Rive him a lesson he will never forget. Marclano aspired to be a base ball catcher, and he most certain ly was In nine of the 13 rounds with Walcott. He never caught a superior pitcher. Mnrclano required a road map to traverse 34 feet of canvas. The Brockton Block Buster advertised his punches in the Philadelphia Bulletin. If vou had a buck for every right hand punch he missed, you could retire with Walcott. He attempted to lab only three or four limes, and looked silly doing it. The fight actually was so soft for Walcott, as he predicted it would be, that the amaiing 38-year- old took liberties. That Is why he was nailed by a right hand punch to the law while against the ropes alter 33 seconds of Uie 13lh. Practically everybody savs age finally caught up with Walcott. That Is because it figured to. But Walcott returned to his cor ner as straight as soldier at Uie end of the Uth, which was perhaps his best round. The fact is Uiat the law of av erages caught up Willi the old pap pv guv after a magnificent stand. Anybody , who throws as ninny punches as Marclano has to hind one now and then. And when The Rock hits them, they stay hit, as someone once remarked. Walcotl went out like a third strike Ulerallv standing on his head. Just as did i minded Billy Roche, the 84-year- 37 other blokes, including old Joe Louis, Harry Matthews and young Hex Layne. After the 13lh. Mnrcluno had to knock out Wnlrott to will. All the meat Father of Camden had to do was keep his feet. But when It was time for Walcott to do what he does best, sidestep and retreat, he obviously decided to press the campaign along the line that had earned him the bulge. That was outpuiiclimg Miuvlniio in side and out while slipping the challenger's big bombs. Perhaps he believed that maybe Marclano was losing his punch. That figured, too. but It whs a fatal error. Such a dramatic turn-about re- old one-llme referee and muiiager, nl two famous oUltlme fights. J mi Corbett had his old title locked up alter XI rounds Willi Jim Jclfric at Coney Island at the turn of the century only to bounce off the hum's and Into a sleeping tablet. Philadelphia Jack OUrlcn out boxed the great Stanley Ketchel from here to there and back mil 11 within 10 seconds of the lUlh and Inst scheduled round in New York in HMD. The referee could have counted the house as the bell saved O'Brien with his head resting In (he sawdust box Uiat was a fixture in every corner' in those days. You can't outsmart a sock on the chin. M9 atuirdlay OTI Host In OCC Opener By RED BIRD H Oregon Tech counts Its touch downs before they hatch Saturday night against a Portland Slate team that lost 38-0 to Grays Har bor Junior College, the Owls could be in lor a rude surprise. The Vikings, in their opener against the Washington team, used the best recipe for losing games they fumbled 14 times. The Owls are well aware what happens when a team gels a severe case of lumbleitis. It happened Sept. 19, In Santa Rosa. The re sult: Santa Rosa. JC won, 19-0. The next week the Owls bounced back to whip a Contra Costa JC team that those close to the situa tion say will beat Santa Rosa. COMEBACK So, It's also bounce-back time for Portland State, formerly Van port, Saturday night on Modoc Field. It's a cinch its 38-0 loss to Gravs Harbor doesn't mirror the true picture of the team Coach Joe Holland will field against Ore tech. If the Vikings find and keep the handle, they could give the Owls all and more than they're bar gaining for. It's the first counter to the Ore gon Collegiate Conference. Oretech Coach Rex Hunsaker, who has been having trouble find ing line depth, Is expecting some help In this department. Tackles Greene Rudd and Bill Parlett and Guards Jerry Schubert and Dennis Johnson are starting to show and should prove valuable in spelling off the regulars. ONE INJURY There's just one casualty among the Owl ranks. Paul Patrick sprained his ankle against Contra Costa and the big Springfield guard may not see much acUon. End sweeps which accounted for gobs of yardage against Contra Costa, may come somewhat tough er against Vanport, The Vikings are proud of their ends, mainly Paul Jennings, Dave Starbuck and Ivan Childs. State's top runners this year are Joe Siri. ex-Columbia Prep boy. and George McGreer. member of Banks unbeaten team a couple of years go. CONVERTING Leading quarterback prospect Is Jack Reverman. ex-Central Catho lic star. But Reverman is having some trouble converting from Cen tral's double and single wing for mation to Portland State's T-forma-tion. , Bulwarks In the line are Jerry Wynn, Bob McEachenn, Dale Grassman and Wayne Sabin. Larry Jeter, on his showing against the Comets last week, may get the starting nod at fullback for the Owls but he's also counted on heavily for his defensive ability as linebacker. Gino Lelli and Jack Brown will swap quarterback duties, while Don Foreman and Len Genetln will probably open at. the halfback posts. ' - , ... . ft LARRY JETER looks Ilka a guy that enjoys his work. There's nothing the Steubenville, O., fullback would rather do than rip off gains for the Oregon Tech Owls. Jeter has a big chore out lined for him against the Portland State Vikings Saturday night on Modoc Field. In addition to alternating with Jim Mcintosh at fullback, he also fills linebacking duty on defense. Kahut Signs For Beshore PORTLAND I Joe Kahut, the Woodburn, Ore., farmer, and Fred die Beshore of Elmonte, Calif., will meet here Tuesday night in the headline heavyweight bout of a fight card. In other 10-rounders, Eddie Ka hut, Joe's brother, goes up against Sonny Green, Trenton, N.J., and Harold Kottre, Silverton, Ore., meets Danny Simon. All are mid-oUewelghts. Merrill, Malin In Crucial Malin and Merrill, only unde feated teams in the six-team Klam ath County Class B football league, mix Friday night at 8 o'clock at Merrill in a game that could go a long way toward deciding the bunting. The Malin Mustangs, seeking their second straight title, will go. into the game minus one oackiiied regular, Andy Travis, who broke his arm in Malin's tough 6-0 win over Chiloquin last week. DOUBTFUL Tackle Ron Bunnell, bulwark ot the Malin line, is also a doubtful entry. Bunnell suffered a slight concussion in the Chiloquin game. If used at all. it will be sparingly. Malin holds a 20-0 win over Hen ley in addition to the Chiloquin vic tory. Merrill holds a 42-13 league win over Sacred Heart. Malin Coach Jim Conroy Is open ly concerned about Merrill s pony backfield, sparked by Johnny O'Neil and Jerry Wolfram. THREAT In the meantime, Chiloquin poses a real threat in the county grid fieht. although the Panthers lost the services of backfield ace Scott Hartlev who suffered a sprained ankle lb the Malin game. Bonanza visits Klamath Falls for a Friday afternoon date with the Wildcats, a non-league game at 3 p.m. The other league game will show Saturday, 1:30 p.m., at Henley where the Hornets host Sacred Heart. Steve O'Neill, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, caught 100 or more games per season iu times. Three times he hit above the .300 mark. PICK-UPS! PICK-UPS! PICK.UPS ! ARRIVING THIS WEEK j .

Colorado would just as soon forget last year's fiasco at Norman, Okla. The Sooners won, 55 to 14. Vandals Drill For Oregon Game MOSCOW.
