Im not putting. up an alibi when I say Coach John Davis of Colorado State has a great basketball team. We found that 'out Saturday night. And although that game was just one of those things probably something that wouldnt happen to a team in ten years our fellows surely learned respect for the Colorado Aggies. That was the comment of Coach Dick Romney today as he put his Farmer hoopsters through a heavy practice ses- sion in preparation for the Big Seven encounter this Friday against Colorado State that team which licked the Logan 2 after the Loganites had them Aggies last Saturday 2 at the half. 5G-5- 40-2- - Coloag Coach And Stars t, Lou Stillman. Stillman, proprietor of the worlds busiest boxing gymnasium, insists that fighters in every division today from heavyweight champion Joe Louis on down are inferior to those of the past. Lewis a Pushover This landlord of larrup should know what hes talking about because daily in his Eighth Avenue gym between 125 and 200 professional fighters work out. And hes been in the business for 25 years. Because of recent newspaper and magazine discussion over the abilities of Louis and Jack Dempsey, Stillman was asked to and he came enter the hurly-burl- y out punching. He gave Louis and other current pugilists a thorough trouncing. 'Louis and Dempsey!" scoffed Stillman. "Why mention those guys in the same breath? The Louis of today couldnt even have given the Dempsey of Toledo a good workout. Jack would have knocked him dead in a couple of heats. . . "Louis Is the perfect example of how fighters in general have faded during the last 10 years. Look what he did in his last bout with Godoy. He gave a' pitiful performance. Godoy not only made the fight, but he made Louis fight just the way he wanted him to. declared fight fans Stillman would have laughed Louis out of town in the old days because of statements in which hid he said Godoy wouldnt stand up so he could hit him and that he (Louis), had giveu, a poor performance because he was afraid of) hurting his hands on Godoy's bead. "Those are fine statements for a world champion to make, continued Stillman. If Louis was a real ring mechanic instead of a mechanical ringster he would hao straightened Godoy up in a hurry. How long do you think Godoy would have clowned around with Dempsey or any of the good heavies that came before him? And if Louis was afraid of hurting his fists, what did he g:et into the ring for? The fans paid to see him throw his fists. He didnt do it. He rooked them out of their dough. OREGON MOSCOW, Ida., Feb. 28 ifpi After trailing by one point at halftime, the University of Oregon, defending national collegiate champions, last night turned on the pressure in the second period to defeat the University of Idaho 45 to 81 in a northern division. Pacific Coast conference basketball game. Stillman had no bouquets for the other current champions. He said Lou Ambers, the lightweight king, apparently was the best of a bad lot although Lou is not much of a puncher. He said Ambers resembles the because of his ruggedness, stamina, speed, skill and ring brain. He looks like a natural-bor- n fighter. Stillman says this general slutin off pugilistic ability has ting resulted from a combination of many (Causes. Prohibition with its wave of gangsters and racketeers brought about an unfortunate admiration for the gun and the knife instead of the fist among youngsters in tough neighborhoods. Then the depression and its paltry purses in small fight clubs caused the tough kids to turu to easier and more lucrative enterprises.
