You just know a guy doesnt come out of much football without a loose bone here or there. that The big affable redhead also did some boxing and was talented enough to win the heavyweight Golden Gloves championship back in Kentucky. And he had to get off the floor more than once to come up a winner. Big Art is back home to star at the Valley Msic Hall with another Utah favorite, Melva Niles, n I Do, I Do. It starts next week or so. And Art is getting up off the floor again, and you can bet on it . . . hes getting up to win. It hasn't anything to do with his talents.
