In Title Bout With Marco
BOSTON IB Welterweight cham
pion Carmen Basilio. a battle
scarred veteran unbeaten In more
than two years, returns a courtesy
and risks his title against young
Tony DeMarco tonight in a re
match of one of the year's best
slugfests.,
Basilio, a 28-year-old ex-Marine
from Canastota, N. Y., rules only
a slight favorite in his first de
fense since lifting the title from
the 23-year-old bomb-throwing Bos
tonian in a sensational brawl last
June 10.
Odds dropped from .9-5 to less
than 7-5 on Basilio. The Boston
Garden fight is scheduled for 15
rounds, but few experts figure it
will go the distance.
UNDEFEATED
Basilio, with . an undefeated
string of 14 fights. Is returning a
courtesy by meeting DeMarco on
the challengers home grounds,
Tony made his first defense of the
title in Syracuse, N. Y., and lost
the crown on a 12th-round TKO.

UP Weekly Coaching
Award Goes To J. Hill
LOS ANGELES (UP) He was
laughed at when he quit coaching
track to take over his first' head ;
coaching Job in college football,
four years ago. ,
He was laughed at again only
two weeks ago when he . was
hanged in effigy on his own cam
pus. But Jess Hill, the United Press
Coach of the Week, got the last
laugh when his Southern Calif
ornia Trojans sprung one of the
season's biggest upsets last Satur
day by mauling Notre Dame, 42-20.
, Southern Cal never had beaten
the Irish In their annual wlndup
game since Hill took over the
coaching reins from Jeff Cravath
in 1951. This season, the Trojans
reached the Notre Dame battle,
with an undistinguished 5-4 wan
and lost record, while the Irish
had an 8-1 mark.
But Hill, Ignoring the 10-poirrt
odds Rgainst his team, flatly pre
dicted a victory over the Irish.
"I told them they were going out
to win, not for me, but for them
selves," he disclosed later. "I
wanted them to have something
to remember this season." i
Southern Cal battled its way to
a 21-7 lead in the first half only
to have Notre Dame reduce that
margin to one point early in the
final period. Then quarterback
Jim Contratto completed a pair
of touchdown passes for the Tro
jans and All-America halfback Jon
Arnctt added another score before
time ran out. '
But the real hero was Jess Hill,
who believes "the psychological
approach in athletics is the most
important part of the game." ,'

boree. Following the same plans of last
year's pre-season encounter, the
Thursday night games will start
at 7 o'clock, while the Friday night
opener will get the first whistle at

football championship victory last
Satorday, has only had two days
of practice on the maples, but
coach Jim Conroy said Tuesday,
"we'll be there with a team." The
Mustangs have just about the same
team which carried them to the
runnerup position of last year's B
championships. Knappa defeated
Msilin 46-45 on a desperation shot
A former major league outfield
er with the New York Yankees,
Hill was coaching the Southern
California track team when he
switched to the football squad. He
didn't take long to expound on his
favorite theory.
"There can be no negative ap
proach as far S3 our team is con
cerned," he pointed out. "and we
certainly will have no defeatist at
titude if I have anything to do
about it."
It was this positive thinking
more than anything else that con
vinced Southern Cal it could beat
Notre Dame.
And, indirectly, It enabled Jess
Hill to get the last laugh on the
last Saturday of the 1955 season.

finals at Salem.
Henley's Hornets, minus -last
year's point-scormg ace Lou Za
rosinski, are tile defending Lower
Basin jamboree champions. The
Hornets whipped Malin in the sec
ond night's featured game last
year after the Hornets and Mus
tangs had rolled to wins over Mer
rill and Bonanza inthe first night's
play.
Ray Eader, Merrill High's cage
boss, will have several bright pros
pects back from last year includ
ing sharp - shooting Herb Schlech
and Terry Sherrill, a hard-to-stop
twosome. The only major losses of
the Huskies In last spring's grad
uation were Leroy Johnson and
Earl Loper. Last yenr in County
B-League play, Merrill closed out
in fourth place with a 3-3 record.
Bob Johnson is again back at
the helm of the Bonanza coaching
department, after finishing in fifth
place of the league standings last
year with a 2-4 mark. Dick Bur
nett and Ron Roberts will again
be back to help spark the Antlers.
Henley s Al Fairchild will be
seeking to make it two straight
jamboree wins for his club as the
Hornets prepare to open their sea
son in rapid-lire order. Last year
the Hornets won 11 while dropping
seven. Fairchild will be calling
upon lettermen Joe Arent. Dale
Searcy and Randy Montgomery to
lead the early season Henley pace,
while help Is expected to come
trom other top penormers includ
ing 6-4 Bob Owens, John Moffltt.
Lee Roberts, Gary Cunningham
and Ted Blol&ky among others.
Roberts and Blofsky are also let
ter winners returning from last
season. '
Conroy's Mustang3 at Malin will
probably take on the roll as fav
orites in the county race, alter
their strong showing hist year in
tlie state tournament. With three
all-staters back for another year
of prep action, Malin should be
stronger than last season when
they compiled a 25-3 record. Ray
Johnson, Norm Oliva and Roger
Dokken were all picked to all
state positions last year, and will
again be back. Others who are ex
pected to help carry the Malin
load with these three - all-staters
are Olenn Steyskal, Allen Meyers,
Roy Ingram and Grady Saunders,
all of whom are lettermen.

tackles Is understandable.
GOOD AND BIG ' '
This factor was pointed out In
this corner recently by Jim Lee
Howell, coach of uie pro New Yorn
Giants. College linemen selected
must not only be good but must
be gigantic to stand the pro gaff.
This line fills Uie bill. It aver
ages better than 223 pounds and
more wan six feet, two inches.
Understand, too, that these are on
ly growing Doys who still have
room to-grow. Only three of them
are "old men" ot 22.
Schriewer Is 6-4 and 205 pounds
while Clarke, the otner end, is
6-4 and 213. The tackles, In order
of selection, are Bosley, 6-2 and
225; D'Agostlno 6-1 and 233; Krupa
six feet and 237, and Masters 6-2
and 225. Pellegrini at center is
6-3 and 225.
The backs, too, have to be big
and rugged as proved by the dralt
choices. Cassady at 5-10 and 172
Is one of those rare exceptions.
But Gllck is 6-1 and 191; Moi rall
Is 6-1 and 185, while Davis goas
six feet and 190 pounds.
Pro ball demands size and speed.
But talent has to go with them.
So the first team chosen in the
pro draft must be recognized as
one of the finest All - America
teams of the year.
