Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN mm I Ring Show Headlined By Jones, Lewis Mix Hie boxing season opens tonight at the Klamath Falls Armory and promoter Mack Lillard has a first rate ring program outlined for the second annual Ralph Weiser Bene fit fight card as boxing fans of .the area get an opportunity to pay tribute to the late Ralph Weiser. Weiser,. known as the 3:atty . Bomber, died following a fight in the armory squared circle last De cember. At this time a committee of looal boxing enthusiasts start- ' ed the Weiser Benefit fund for tile five children left, fatherless at Wei- i ser's death. Last year's program was a success, ' both financially for the children, and action-wise for the armory patrons. Lillard points but that this year's program could very well top the excitement of the first Weiser benefit prior to Christmas last year. Sugar Ray Planning One Punch ' GREENWOOD LAKE., N. Y. (UP) Sugar Ray Robinson, am bitious to become "a crusader for my people," will gamble on punch alone to recapture the middle weight championship from Carl (Bobo) Olson at Chicago Stadium, Dec. 9, he said today. 'My best chance is to win on a knockout, and I'll take that chance because I'm determined to win," declared the former middle weight and welterweight ruler, here at his training camp. Matured in body and mind at 35. slender Ray explained he had lest his younger yen to be a song-and-dance man. Instead, "I'll de vote the rest of my life to cru sading for' my people." COMEBACK His desire to be an entertainer caused him to hang up his gloves and vacate the middleweight clown in December, 1952. He re turned to. the ring this year and had six comeback fights. He won five. , "I want to cooperate with the National Assn. for the Advance ment, of Colored People," he ex plained. "And I want to help with charities such as raising funds, for the mother of Emmett Till, who was killed in Mississippi. As champion I could do much for the various causes." What did he mean by gambling "on punch alone" to beat Olson? "I mean I won't try to out-box him; I'll go in to knock him -out as soon as possible," he said.' "I have the punch to do it. And I know the combination of blows that will take him out." Sugar Ray fought Olson twice before Hawaiian-born Bobo of San Francisco won the vacant crown in October, 1953. He knocked out Bobo in the 12th round In 1950 and outpointed him-In 1952. ON SPEED "In both those bouts I depended as much upon speed and skill as upon my punch." the ex-champ continued, "in the first fight, I fin ally finished him off with a com bination left to the body and right to the Jaw. He" lasted the distance in the second bout. But Archie Moore knocked him out with the same combination In June." Will the Moore kayo have had a bad effect on Bobo? "No, that knockout won't bother him." Ray asserted. "After all, Moore was the light heavyweight champion and Olson' was a much smaller man. It won't take away any of his confidence. In fact, I know he'll be a much better Olson than for either of our two previous fights." . The ex-champ and his entourage will leave for Chicago on Dec. 1. He expects to weigh about 158 pounds for the fight. AUTOMOTIVE LEAGUE W . I. 32 11 2!) 11 Xl'i Ill's 24', 10' 2.1 21 2.1 21 22', 21 'i 21's 22', 20 24 IS 2d IS's.

YoYo Lewis, one of the North west's most colorful and popular battlers makes his Basin debut tonight when he meets up and coming Dick Jones, now of Klam ath Falls, formerly from Arizona ring wars, in the program's 10 round main event. Lillard has been working hard for this match because it features two of the most promising young welters in this part of the na tion. Both fighters, only 22 years of age, are making rapid Jumps in the ring world and this could be a "showdown" mttch this eve ning for one of the two. Lewis has gained special recog nition this past season by being selected as the "most popular fighter" In three leading Pacific Northwest flsht town-. SDo'iane. Tacoma and Vancouver, B.C. all rate L;w!s hl-?h o-i their lis', not only as a powerful fighter, but a too crowd-nleaser. LOXO STRING Included In Lewis' long string of triumphs is a victory over Blackie Vandorveer, who once met Weiser in the local fight ring. The 148-pound Seattle Nejro welter has been one of the main drawing cards in Washington, Idaho and Montana boxing cities, and is still growing in popularity.' Jones, wno now calls Klamath his home, has been making rapid strides in the fight picture through out the Southwest. Dick has been appearing in main events and top semis in Phoenix and Tucson, and according-to all reports has been showing lots of promise. Since turning pro in 1953, Lewis has had 19 professional fights, win ning IB and losing only one. The sole defeat came on a slim point decision to Eddie Williams, cur rently the welterweight champion of the Southwest. Of the 18 victor ies, Lewis has countered with 10 knockouts, clearly demonstrating his punching power. In amateur ring action in Port land and Phoenix, Jones won 37 of 42 fights, which gives him an overall record of 55 wins against six setbacks for both pro and amateur outings. In the evening's semi-windup, Donnie Ficard, regarded as one of the leading local fighters will mix punches with "Little Papa" Buzz Brown of Seattle. Brown is no newcomer to the armory ring af ter meeting several foes here in cluding the late Weiser a year or so ago. "Little Papa" is making a return to the ring, wars after a short layoff. This bout Is sched uled for six rounds or less. SIX ROUNDER Another six rounder will pit Klamath's Porky Jimenez against Chief Warrior of Umatilla and Spokane. Jimenez is just return ing from a tour of duty with the Marine' Corps. Chief Warrior has been fighting in Spokane and Van couver, B.C. primarily, and holds a win over Buddy McDonald of Calgary. Curt Stanton of Bly and Louie "Corky" Gibbon of Chiloquin will meet in the "top" four-rounder, while Pummie Wright of Chiloquin exchanges blows with Jerry "Red" Castle of Seattle in another four round bout. Lillard said another four rounder is being sought to give the Basin fans 34 scheduled rounds of ac tion. A pair of Chiloquin youths, Larry Lewis and Boggie Gallag her, two five year olds who scale in the vicinity of 35 pounds apiece, will open the evening's action In a feature attraction to the benefit program. These two small fry bat tlers have met before and stole the show with their glove throw ing wizardry. Wally, Moss, referee of the fatal Weiser-Teddy Hall fight last De cember, will take on the lob of "third man" in the ring for this evening's action according to Lillard. Grid Coaches Bypassed In Effigy Action Bv UNITED PRESS Football "fans" apparently have run out of unsuccessful coaches to hang in effigy today. They turned their wrath on a sportscaster, a cheerleader, and the wife of a coach. At San Jose, Calif., a figure representing the wife of San Jose State Coach Bob Bronzan was found hanged from a telephone pole. A placard said "13-19. Mrs. Bronzan. Back seat driver gone." Bronzan's team was upset last Saturday by Fresno State 13-19. At Taft, Calif., Taft College stu dents hanged In effigy CBS sports caster Oil Stratum, who incurred their wrath by aylng Compton College had a better chance to get a Junior Rose Bowl bid than Taft. San Francisco State College stu dents apparently were satisfied with their coach despite a 32-0 shellacking by Cal Poly last Fri day. Instead they hanged in effigy head cheerleader Jack Pease. Coach Joe Verducci, who directed his team to a 6-5 season record, is extremely popular on 4he campus. And at Seatlle, Wash., Jim Suth erland was fired as backfleld coach at the University of Wash ington. Sutherland, who has been feuding with head coach Johnny Cherberg over policies, remarked: "Assistant coach, with effigy. Willing to travel." TIMES HAVE CHANGED CHAPEL HILL, N. C. litV-The University of North Carolina grid ders last year gained 116 yard) via forward passes In beating North Carolina State 30-6. This season the Trheels did not gain a single yard through the air against the Wolfpack but still man ated to win 35-11. ' .-: - . . eM-J. 'I l'asiil'iiiiseaaBBBaaaMaaasaaipaaaaaBBB .,..-;.,. y .v r vJi,'l' DICK Uebel Key To Cadet Grid Win WEST POINT, N.Y. litrM any one player other than the contro versial Don Holleder Is able to break Navy's back in Saturday's big- service football game at Phil adelphia It may ,be Pat Uebel, Army's hard-running fullback and captain. "Uebel," In the opinion of coach Earl (Red) Blaik, "always seems to play a good game against Navy." That's saying It mildly. In 1953 the 6-foot, 190-pound full back from Bellevue, Ky, scored all three touchdowns in Army's 20-7 victory the first Army back to pull a triple score against the Midshipmen since Doc Blanchard's feat In 1945. A year ago in the wild, give' and-take jamboree won by Navy 27-20, Uebel carried the ball more times than the rest of the Army backfleld combined, led the team in rushing yardage and averaged 5 yards a whack. Uebel and quarterback Holleder are both definite starters and both are possible 60-minute workmen. 'Pat is looking lorwara to tms game," said Blaik. "He seems to take personal vengeance against Navy." DASHING FEET Army's hopes of an upset over the Midshipmen, favored by a touchdown, rest largely with Hol- leder's quarterbacking and Uebel's dashing feet. Holleder, star end converted to a left-handed sleight-of-hand artist in Blalk's T-formatlon, has been sharply criticized by observers but just as stoutly defended by Blaik, who made the shift. "Holleder is a terrific ball-carrier and our original Intention in shifting him to quarterback was to utilize his speed and power on keep plays," Blaik said. "Un fortunately, the backfleld never materialized "because of injuries to Joe Cygler and Bob Kyasky, both of whom can pass. "So Holleder has had to carry the load alone and take a lot of unjustified abuse. I still regard him as one of the finest passers I've seen and a superb quarterback." The Army coach was asked If he thought the Army team might go out against Navy and make i special effort to "win for Holleder' so as to vindicate the move. SENTIMENT "No, I don't think so." Blaik said. "Holleder Is a leader. He's not the kind who would draw this kind of sentiment from his mates. They appreciate him for what he's meant to the team and that's about it." Blaik said none of the blame for losses to Michigan, Syracuse and Yale could be laid at Holleder's feet. "Our whole team was to blame." he added, "too many mis takes." The Cadets planned a brief work out today, followed by Thanksgiv ing dinner, but not with all the trimmings. Commissioner Closes Books On Big 10 Tilt CHICAGO l.ft Big Ten Commis sioner K. L. I Tug l Wilson officially has closed the books on last Satur day's Ohio State-Michigan football game in which the penalty-Jammed closing minutes touched off con siderable reaction. After reviewing available infor mation on the game, Wilson yes terday concluded In a statement that the Incident was "regrettable" but "enlarged out of all proportion to existing facts." He said the ejection of two Michi gan players, end Ron Kramer and tackle Lionel 8igman, in the final four minutes of the hectic 17-0 loss to Ohio State came from behavior which was "an understandable by product of frustration and demoralization." JONES m-alb an r Basketball To Ask For By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer ; NEW YORK (UP) It was ob vious today as basketball pre pared to take over the sports head lines that publicity puts some players out of focus and the rules need adjusting to prevent offensive goal tending. For the past four years, Tom Gola of La Salle, now of the pro Philadelphia Warriors, was re garded as "the" player of his era. Naturally, there were other All-Americas. But Gola was regarded as In a class by himself and as result the V. Marlines OutgunsDane In Ring Bout ST. LOUIS. Mo. (UP) A new ring canvas took the blame from both managers today for Wednes day night's listless welterweight match in which Vince Martinez coasted to a easy decision over Chris Chrlstensen. "My boy was slipping. He just couldn't set himself for a good rlghthand punch," complained Dim my White, manager of Chrlstensen. "The ring was like a skating rink." said Bill Daly, Martinez's pilot. "Vlnce coujdn't punch In combinations because he was slid ing too often." Whatever the cause, the crowd booed lustily during the last two rounds of the nationally televised 10-rounder. Martinez's own behav ior seemed to start It up. He wore a bored expression as he waited for Referee Jimmy Parker to pry Chrlstensen off the ropes at the start of the ninth. The Patcrson. N.J., battler, who copped his 18th straight victory, seemed almost ready to yawn. At that time, only a miracle In the form of one of Chrlstenscn'a wild rlghthand swings could have reversed the outcome. And the Co penhagen fighter, champion of Den mark. Just couldn't get' close enough to the elusive Vince to do any real damage. It's my job to see you get f.i. f 31-. IT help... MiMrtiMMilil j Wm. N. Goen 70 Jt. ih Ph. 122 YOYO LEWIS CLAYTON HANMON SPORTS EDITOR Prepares Spotlight others didn't get an absolutely fair shake. - Professional play already Is proving that In the years when Gola was classed alone there were others like Maurice Stokes of 8t. Francis of Loretto, Pa., now with Rochester, and Bob Pettit of LSU now with St. Louis, who deserved equal billing. Those addicted to rating plavers were Inclined to fault Pettit when he was at LSU on grounds that Southeastern Conference basket ball wasn't up to the national par. This has been disproved, too. For as a pro, the 6-foot, 9-inch Pettit Is a wizard. He poured in 32 points against New York recently and was so mobile and fluid that Walt Dukes, attempting to guard him, drew five fouls and a technical In five minutes of play. Stokes, the 6-foot, 7-inch con temporary of Gola, averaged 20 rebounds and 20 points In Roch ester's first three games. Oola, unfortunately, broke his hand in an exhibition game and just starting back scored 10 points in his first pro game. But he'll. need all his skill to match the feats of the lads like Pettit and Stokes who drew a comparative back seat when they were collegians. Right now the same sort of Oola buildup seems to be centered on Bill Russell of San Francisco. Coaches who saw this 6-foot, 10 lnch Jumping Jak with the amaz ing timing compete in the NCAA tournament were inclined to ad mit: "I've always been a Gola man, but . . ." Yet, at Kansas they are waiting impatiently for the end of 7-foot Wilt' (The Stilt) Chamberlain's freshman year. With Wilt scoring 42 points, the freshman team re. cently beat the varsity for the first time in history. Always they keep coming, the new phenoms, and the distressing part is that one man usually gets most of the raves when actually i they should be well scattered. Russell is the reason that many j coaches have suggested a rules change to bar offensive goal tend ing. In the NCAA tournament, he showed such an amazing timing i on tap-Ins after outside shots that I the scorers had difficulty telling ! whether the outside man or Rus- j sell should be credited with the goal.

Awayfrom home, there are nearly 8,000 aifents and claims rep resentative! like myself to give you tht same aniitanre. mm I I Huskies' Backfield Boss Out SEATTLE W Like a few drops of water In hot grease, 36 Univer sity of Washington football players sputtered briefly against coach John Cherberg yesterday, then dis appeared in a cloud of steam late last night. And ab?ut the only person burnt thus far In the spattering was Jim Sutherland, backfield coach, who seemed in highest favor with' the dissident group. Sutherland was fired. Cherberg remained as coach to- day and there appeared to be no Immediate likelihood of his de parture. The finality of Suther land's packing was apparent when Chcrbert Indicated he already has decided to move up Don Doll to Sutherland's job. Doll is a onetime University of Southern California star and a pro fessional footballer for eight years. He has been Sutherland s assist ant. The disappearance of the antl Cherbcrg group was noted last night at what was supposed to be a mass meeting of objectors at a downtown beanery. The meeting, at latest unofficial but reliable re ports, consisted of three players and their girl friends. Perhaps a few more. The number of players who parti cipated in protest meetings with Harvey Cassill, the university s athletic director, was disclosed by H. P. Everest, vice president of the university and for a number of years the Institution's faculty rep resentative to the Faciflo coast Conference. Everest said a first meeting was held with 16 men, most of them seniors and lettermen. Nineteen more, largely reserves, showed up later. They objected to what they called Cherberg's tyrannical atti tude. Pressed for examples yes terday by newsmen, they produced nothing specific. Leaders of the insurgents were known to be Sandy Lederman, once-ousted quarterback who fell out with Cherberg earlier In the season and came back to the team after promising to be good, and Mike Monroe, fullback and half back In a number of games. Otherwise, few, It any, of the lettermen who protested were starting regulars. The regulars have indicated they stand behind the coach. 41 &1 lit .rjMJ'. . on T V goodvear TDACTIOMIZIIIG : Gives Trti Addtd Traction Ns waiting! Den In a matter of minutes.

The state championship grid tussle will open play at 1:30. Coach Jim Conroy'a Malin Mus tangs, minus the services of their star tailback Ray Johnson, are getting the smell of the state bunt ing as the week passes, and for the first time in several seasons are within Just one game of being champion among the B high school ranks in the state of Oregon. The Maimers will not be driven by the passing and running of Johnson, who according to Conroy, is out following last weekend's clash with Union. Malin won over the Bobcats 27-12. but Johnson suffe.ed a knee Injury in the first quarter's play and is not expect:d to be at full strength for a few weeks. Conroy said he may use Ranv bllna- Ray in one play of the game if the chance prevails, Just to let him have the honor of playing in the championship fracas. "A pass play would be our only gamble with Ray," the Malin ccach relat ed. FAST RISING The Warriors from Slleti have proven to be a fast rising team with an explosive attack and tight defensive unit as the season has progressed.

Stotz put the three-cent stamp to work to day in their feud over policies gov erning the play of 250,000 boys under 13. Both men sent out form letters to 3,977 franchise leagues In an attempt to keep them In their present camp,, or swing them over to what Stotz described , as the "original concepts" of the Little League movement. Stotz, LH'Je League founder fired as commissioner after Be an nounced Intention of filing s $300, 000 breach of contract suit against the baseball corporation, received the backing of four staff members who resigned Wednesday to Join forces with him. The quarter Included Howard Oalr, umpire in chief, and Ralph Hoyt, a regional director. The others were Richard 8nauffer and Allen Yearlck, assistants of Hoyt. In another phase of Stoti' fight, he called a meeting of SOO field workers Dec. 10-11 at Pittsburgh to discuss the controversy now raging in the top echelons. He de scribed the workers as unpaid personnel-, who help organize new teams throughout the nation. McGovern said after meeting with his board of directors ha wouM write member leagues that he believed Stotz made an "un fortunate decision" in , bringing; suit. He said he also Would tell them It was planned to continue the present Little League setup. Stotz said he had sent but letters explaining his position to the fran chise leagues and announcing he will continue operations. When Stotz filed preliminaries to his suit two days ago to touch off the squabble, he charged his contract had been breached. He said the alleged reneging had come "to the point of endangering the Little League In that the com missioner and volunteer field per sonnel no longer have a represen tative voice In policy decisions." Under court procedure, Stotz must tile his actual suit before Satur day noon, John M. Llndemuth was named acting commissioner to replace Stotz.
