Even Walcott Couldn't Outsmart a Sock on the Chin
By HARRY GKAY80N
NKA Nporti Kdltup
NEW YOKK (NEA) In his
ipectacular knockout of Jersey Joe
Walcott, Rocky Mnrclano definitely
answered Uie question.
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.

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.

Right Teams,
Wrong Year
DENVER UR Television set
football at the University of Colo
rado back a year, and it gave Okla
homa the last night.
Last Saturday the Colorado Buf
faloes and Oklahoma's Sooners met
in an important Big Seven confer
ence game, Colorado played prob
ably the best game In its
history in grabbing a 21-21 tie.
Wednesday night, the Big Seven
conference's game of the week
came on over a local video sta
tion. Colorado fans got a 'shock. The
film showed the right teams but it
was for the wrong year. Colorado
would just as soon forget last
year's fiasco at Norman, Okla. The
Sooners won, 55 to 14.

Two players sat on the sidelines
