So the Bingham fans that will see it I envy you. Have a good time. Pro boxing made its debut in Salt Lake Wednesday night, af-ter having been dead for about six years and it was the same old story. Two of the boys that was to appear in the main event couldn't get transportation from Los Angeles. So poor Old Gus fan took it on the chin. Sure they had a match, and it may have been a good one but the fans had paid their money to see the boys that was advertised. They didn't and they kicked; can't blame them. Now this is one sure way to keep the boxing name from getting old in Salt Lake. Bowling is going lug, but Jim will tell you about that in his column. Be sure and read it. HI) AA Flashes by Jim Abplan-alp- . Jimmie is writing an inter-esting column, keeping us post-ed on the happenings of this up and coming organization. Sure hope our stadium is taken care of by next year. AL Sports Here and There by Al Ablett Big league basketball came to Salt Lake with a bang. The open-ing game between Salt Lake and San Diego was won by the Salt Lakers 48 to 38. Coach Wheatley has a fine looking team and he promises they will look better as the season goes along- - Our high school team hain't won a practice game yet, the la-test loss was to American Fork Wednesday night 42 to 25. Jack Knudsen was high point man for the locals with 15 points. The boys are slowly getting football out of their system and when they do, I am sure we will see a real ball club. Utah is headed home after a jaunt through the east where they dropped 4 out of 5 games. But they sent a couple of them into overtime periods and they were playing some of the strong-est teams in that section of the country. A number of Bingham people are planning on taking in the Rose Bowl game between Ala-bama ami U.S.C On paper it looks like Alabama in a walk, hut you know football game., aren't played on paper. USC has a reputation of never having lost a bow game and they have been in their eight times. Alabama went through their schedule without a loss, while USC drop pod two games. One to St. Mary's and the other to El Toro Marines. But in their last two games Coach Cravath's boys had start-ed to roll Ted Tannchill came bark to the squad after being out with injuries, and this high stepping 185 pound halfback was the park they needed. Ted. it i said by experts that have seen him in action, is one of the best backs in the nation. The Califor-nia line goes over two hundred pounds to the man and in the UCLA game they were charging and blocking with the fury of a team locomotive. Alabama has Truk and Iwo Jima. Although the group was under staffed with inline engine mechanics, Captain Rasmussen quickly organized a ground maintenance school, and by disseminating his vast techni- - cal knowledge was ableto main- - tain a superior performance re-- 1 cord for these planes, which were participating in the longest over-wate- r missions yet attempted for this type aircraft. On March 11, 1944 Capt Rasmussen with one! officer and ten enlisted men re-turned to Oahu to accept and prepare forty 's for this group. Working night and day ( apt. Rasmussen guided his men in completing their difficult mis-sion in record time. At the end of the month, all the planes took, on what was the longest over-wate- r ferrying flight for single engine planes. The flight pro-- ceeded without incident, except for one plane being grounded at Majino, with an engine failure and damaged wheels. When Capt Rasmussen arrived, he was able, Sin one day, to affect a difficult engine change, and by flawless professional skill was able to adapt a pair of navy-typ- e wheels with altogether different specifi- - cations to fit his disabled plane. Hack on Saipan, Capt. Rasmus-sen, displaying exceptional qual- - ities of leadership, prepared and supervised the movement of all planes to the Ryukyus area. Ev-ery plane arrived safely, except one which was lost due to wea-ther. On Ie Shima, through Capt. Kasmussen's untiring efforts, his planes were immediately opera-tional in their fight against the enemy. Laboring under the most extreme conditions of weather and enemy interference, Capt Rasmussen successfully solved a difficult water injection system problem which subsequently led higher headquarters to publish technical data, and quickly alle-viate similar trouble in other groups.
