Show read in the papers we found him to be a real pleasant fellow, one that was easy to talk to and a more willing man in giving out information on basketball would be hard to find. Said he was enjoying en-joying his stay in Utah and hoped hop-ed to come back often. Coach Rupp was a guest coach at the Utah Aggies Coaching school. Our old friend Ken Shulaen had him in tow, showing him the sights. The BDAA baseball team has signed Vic Stuokenschneider on the pitching staff and Vic turned turn-ed in a two hitter against P.G. Wednesday night but Tost 2 to 1. He will probably go for he locals Sunday at the Copperton park. If you like baseball you should go out and see this boy pitch. Vic learned plenty in the army and this spring in the Washington Washing-ton training . camp. With any kind of luck he will be hard to beat in this league. Al anytime before fall because of the Jackson fight. Patterson isn't ready to take on the old maestro unless they know something some-thing that the rest of us don't. I think the Patterson camp would be smart to wait another year. It is a cinch that Archie can't go on for ever, (but he showed in his title defense against Pompey in London that he can still put his man away when he goes to work. As for Jackson all I can say is I have never seen anything like him.. lie is a lot like the late Harry Greta as far as throwing punches is concerned but of course he isn't the boxer that Grt'b was. On the other hand I don't think there ever was a man in the history of the ring that could shake off punches and keep going like the Brooklyn boy.

He has ibeen winning win-ning and at the same time giving giv-ing fans an entertaining evening even-ing and that Patterson match was close enough.

I don't suppose the money means much to Marv at this stage, because if Kearns has his finger in he will get 'his share. Aside from that angle he may have made a smart move because outside of Hurley there isn't anyone better at the ballyhoo bally-hoo business than Kearns. The talk is that they are still trying to get it for Utah, but as I have said before the big drawback is a location that is adequate. No question about drawing. They will pack any place they get If the tariff isn't too high. In my book it is just as well that Patterson can't fight Moore |
