TYNE udcNc'S OF Narl Motifs must
be a wise bunch" They GER
talnly are keeping little Carl safe
from all harm. In selecting opponents
for the Sapulpa White Hope" they
nave gone through tho cold storage de-
partment OF the heavyweight class with
fine, discriminating care Each eN-
fighter is gently poked IN tho ribs to see
II he Is ripe enough. Only the softes,
OF the soft will do. And the curious
thing OF IL all Is hat they arc getting
the money In large. juicy chunks. and
Oklahoma Is as wildly enthusiastic over
Morris after each knockout as II he had
really lone something.
Any good middleweight could have
gone through the same list OF has-beens
with at least equal dispatch. A middle
weight like Frank Klaus Coh. you wal
looping KlausD would have finished poor
fat old Mike schreck in a round or less.
And yet they build arenas for Morris
and his tender ,id-bits just as they
might build arenas for a real worlds
championship battle.
They are nursing Morris along, per-
haps. taking no chances and gradually
teaching him the game. lie is big,

the cold storage reserves. Perhaps they
will drag out poor old Peter Maher
next. That would be a fine one for
Oklahoma. Peters record, ten or fifteen
years ago, was a famous one, and
would make good reading In the
columns OF the Sapulpa paper. IL
Morris knocked out Peter he would at
