This Is a coach who rates Cola
as "a player without a weakness."
but Wooden points out the fact
that "you have to go for the
height."
"Russell is that big guy." Wood
en explained. "As such, he Is more
demoralizing from a defensive
point of view. He'll block as many
shots as he makes. Then, too, of
fensively the big man will automa
tically get you so many points that
you can afford to gamble both on
offense and defense."
Individually, even Russell's own
coach, Phil Woolpert of San Fran
cisco, admits that "there is no
basis of comparison."
"Gola Is as fine an all-around
player as you'll ever find," said
the thin man from the Coast. "But
I do have to say that Ihe one
place I would give Russell an edge
is In his ability to dominate one
given game as an individual. He
utilizes his height to advantage
and takes charge defensively."
FAVORS RUSSELL
It seems apparent, as you talk
to the coaches, that Gola as a col
legian was a much more rounded
layer than Russell. But that three
Inch helgbt advantage which Rus
sell enjoys makes up for a lot of
the deficiencies.
"Russell hasn't a good outside
shot and doesn't 4tiave Gola's re
flexes," asserted Ken . Nortin of
Manhattan. "But you can't knock
the fact that he won the NCAA
for San Francisco last 'year. Rus
sell simply was too big for the
rest of them, and remember they
beat Gola and La Salle in the
finals."
Which brings you back to the
fact that middleweight champion

Moore, who in turn was fractured
by heavyweight champion Rocky

Unusual Happenings
Spark Sports Season
By FRANK LITSKY
United Press Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UP The sports
world was full of the unusual in
1953.
For example:
In a baseball game between
Lexington and Kearney in a eb
raska league. Lexington won by
forfeit, all because of a GcVman
shephnrd dog. A Kearney pitcher
singled in the fifth inning. The
manager sent out the pitcher's
jacket, In the teeth of the man
ager's dog. The Lexington players
objected. There was an argument
and the Kearney manager was
ordered off the field.
He wouldn't go and the game
was forfeited. Maybe It proves that
man is dog's best friend.
In Sturgeon Bay, Wis., 11-year-old
Russ Demmin overruled an
umpire. Russ was catching in a
Little League game. A runner
broke for home. The umpire called
him out, and the game appeared
over. But the runner argued.
What's more, Russ backed him up.
Russ admitted he missed the tag.
So the umpire called the runner
safe, and Russ's team eventually
lost the game.
In Milwaukee, Mrs. Mary
Thompson explained how she be
came Interested in baseball at 101.
"The kids got me interested last
year." she said. The kids as
she calls them are her 85-year-old
son and 80-ycar-old daughter.
In football, a schoolboy coach

didn't emerge from his battle with
Andy Arel without lumps.
II look four stitches to close a
gash over Willie's left eye and
ep said the wound probably would
keep him out of action about a
month.
"He was a good, tough kid."
Pep said after he had scored a

from Messcna, N.Y. "He'll beat a

will be seeking to knock the Demos
irom the perfect list, Glenn Moore
will open at center, while OriiM
