Show PROVQ- UTAH) - DAILY HERALD, T FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1942 PAGE- SEVEN ki t li r !! i ! : Ohe heral d Swing-Fan Ray Big Chance In By JACK GUENTHER NEW YORK, Jam 18 UJ! Ray Robinson, a Harlem hepcat who combines the better features of an adagio dancer and a gatling gun in a personal blend of jumping jive, faces Fritzie Zivic tonight in quest of his 116th straight ring triumph, and in his own odd language lan-guage say he intends to crown the steel city ickie eight to the bar with a few grooved riffs. r If you don't dig swing chatter, chat-ter, the loose-limbed negro youngster young-ster means, in effect, that he will abandon his Fancy dan technique and give out with the socko. He hopes to play "Nola" once over UghUy on the Zivlc features, then apply the chloroform with both hands. If the performance is a success, count him in as the next welterweight champion. Fin:Jlecord I Robinson,, an incorrigible swing fanatic, is-a 21-year-old lad who has fought up from the amateur ranks in a little more than a year and is the only front-line pugilist ih circulation who has never been beaten or even held to a draw. Sugah, as he is known to his- intimates, in-timates, has -won' 89 bouts as an amateur and 26 more as a professional pro-fessional 83 of them by- knockouts. knock-outs. ; He has made a habit of celebrating cele-brating each, victory by buying a few more phonograph records to add to an amazing hot jazz collection. col-lection. His emotions are , mixed on the subject of boxing and swing. . .. i He . still can't decide whether the welter crown is more important import-ant than a hot Louis Armstrong trumpet solo, but is being convinced con-vinced that the former is a means to the latter.. Notable Victories s He has beaten some good men, some bad ones, and plenty of indifferent in-different ones, but in his rapid climb has secured notable victories victor-ies over such personages as Max Shapiro, Pete Lello, Lightweight Champion Sammy. Angott,. and Zivic. He shaded Zisnc" several months ago by inspiring himself to a late rally which earned him the necessary points. Tonight he hopes to make good in his first bout over the 10-round 10-round limit by knocking Zivic out. The fiesta at Madison Square Garden has been scheduled for 12 rounds, and the winner has been promised an evening of entertainment entertain-ment with the current welter king, Freddie Cochrane, a few weeks hence. If Sugah is a worthy prophet, he'll be plenty sweet tonight. - "A bunch of cats will gang in to watch this boy swing out with the solid stuff," he explains, in what must be figurative fashion. "I gotta Jam plenty and beat the skin, but quick. I'm going out there in real eighty-eighter style, and once I'm in the groove you watch the hot licks. No corn of Schmaltz tonight the stiff is going go-ing to be mellow." These words merely form an amplificaion of Robinson's original origin-al statement. Seeks Knockout That is, he is concentrating on punch at the expense of fanciful footwork, and that for once he is going to leave his tap dancing techniqueo in the dressing room behind him. Zivic has received these tidings happily, saying simply that if Robinson wants to slug, he, Zivic, is more than willing. will-ing. j The boys on Jacobs' Beach have analyzed this as a fight between a. Boy who is on the rise and one who is on the decline. Robinson apparently has gained skill with every successive appearance, vfhile Zivic, in his most recent bouts, has been unable to untrack himself. The odds, as such things go, favor Sugah at 2-1, and are 3ainly based on his previous vic-ry. vic-ry. Zivic Tough ilf Zivic is himself, he may make a; sucker of the wise money cjowd. Fritzie is a tough cookie, even a dog. biscuit when '--the occasion oc-casion is right, and he never has been beaten easily since he broke into the big time. But he U 28 ahd he has fought countless times. Certainly, he isn't getting any filter or stronger, and his punches punch-es aren't any sharper. i Robinson, on the other hand, is just as sweet as his name of ugah. He is one of the fastest and cleverest lighter men boxing tpday, and he has a solid rhythm section in either hand. As well, b, e has the happy knack of. being able to punch, and hard, even when poised on only one foot. It F CONST! D?

Little Benny, who weighs 139 pounds dripping wet and he was yesterday started without the belefit of a practice round. But he vividly recalled the course from last year, when he turned in an astounding card of 62 to . gain a three-way playoff for the championship. cham-pionship. With such a memory, maybe a blindfold would be no handicap at alL..;- ,If anyone is to beat Hogan, it probably will be Nelson. He had bogged: down in recent weeks but came back yesterday wtlh a vengeance. Unforeseen meteorological meteor-ological conditions caught up with him on the 16th tee, yet he scored three successive birdies to lead the field. , Nelson has been coming to California Cali-fornia since 1933, and still has to win his first coast tournament. This he thinks, will be it .

' H'- tftk is By GEORGE KUtKSEY NEW YORK Jan: 15 ftlB) The big battle of the words over whether itH be Playing Manager Leo Durocher or . Bench Manager Durccher of the. Brooklyn Dodgers Dodg-ers the coming season may take place in Larry MacPnail's office in. Flatbush today., ; . Durocher, in town to attend the presentation of a medal for dress designing to his wife, planned-to confer" with MacPhaii today to-day and there . were Indications that if the subject of the Dodger pilot's 1942 contract came up, Lieo the Lip" and "Laughing Larry", might not see eye to eye on it. ... ."I'm not talking contract unless un-less Larry wants to . talk contract,'' con-tract,'' Durocher said. Asked if he wanted a manager's mana-ger's or a playing manager's contract, con-tract, Durocher said he wanted the latter. .Although MacPhaii has insisted that Durocher take nis piace in the lineup more regularly regu-larly the past two seasons, Durocher Duro-cher has found it harder and harder to stay in shape to play. However, the point now develops that if Durocher signs a contract as a bench manager he may find himself in the unique position ot having hifi salary cut after piloting pilot-ing uie Dodgers to their first pennant in 21 years. Last summer sum-mer Durocher is believed to have received $23,000 for the dual role. In addition the Dodgers might find themselves desperately in need of Durocher's services as a player before the season is over. Although Shortstop peewee Reese is now in class 3-A in the draft, he is single and might be called up for duty when re-examined. Third Baseman Cookie Lavagetto also cannot be considered safely out of the draft, as he is also single. In the event Reese had to go into service.
