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.

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."

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."

NEW YORK (UP) It was ob

For the past four years, Tom

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.

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.

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.

this Saturday afternoon at Malta
as the Slleti Warriors Invade the
Klamath Basin to do battle with
the high-rldlng Mustangs of Malin.
The state championship grid tussle
will open play at 1:30.

star tailback Ray Johnson, are
getting the smell of the state bunt

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

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (UP)
Little League baseball President
Peter J. McGovern and ousted
Commissioner Carl E. 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.
