Show Pag SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1931 THE JOURNAL 6 FARM TOPICS SPORT LIGHT Promising Fighter Shouldn't Hurry GRANTLAND RICE HAS BEEN A NUMBER of hunters moons since a young fellow by the name of Jack Dempsey came out of Utah and Colorado to set the boxing game on fire. Dempsey was 24 years old when he won the heavyweight championship from Jess lard at Toledo in 1919. That was a trifle over 31 years By Wil-wv- rr ago. Dempsey lifted the ring game out of the morass at that time. lie served notice on his arrival by knocking out Fred Fulton, a lead ing contender, in some 17 seconds. And Fulton was rated one of the best fight ers of that time, close to the top. lie was around 6 feet 4 or 5 with a deadly left hook. He could punch and he could box. But Dempsey, weighing 180, moved In like a western tornado and one punch was enough. Fulton could whip most of the heavy weights around today. Now another young fighter by the name of Rex Layne comes out of Utah with a good chance to give the ring game a big lift. d Jess Willard was Big heavyweight champion when Jack Dempsey arrived. Ezzard Charles, weighing 182 pounds, is champion as young Layne arrives on the scene. I dont believe Ezzard Charles could have beaten the Willard of 1919 and I am fairly sure that Layne couldnt have gone more than a round or two with Demp 6ey of that year. Which proves nothing as far as 1951 is concerned. Layne is a fine young prospect. He is on the hungry side, as Dempsey was. He is dead game and he can take a punch. He is supposed to be a hard puncher, which he had no chance to prove against the retreating, slippery Walcott. One point is dead certain. Layne shouldnt be rushed. He isnt ready yet. He needs more hard work-m- ore road work, more conditioning. The one thing that can ruin young Layne is the game itself. to 7. Two weeks later Maryland rambles to Michigan State and smashes that powerful outfit 34 to 7. It was Michigan States only defeat. Then N.C. State beats Maryland 16 to 13. Thats a dizzy ferris wheel to follow. 27 Columbia whips Cornell. Pennsylvania runs over Columbia 34 to 0 So Cornell beats Pennsylvania 13 to 6. This is quite enough to prove that you cant take comparative scores in trying to pick winners, or losers.
