Central High Launches Track Seaso
Bench Warming
By Burdette Kinne
Post Press Sports Editor

This is an old story, and if you've
heard it before, please turn to page
six and read the editorials for the
day.
1t relates, in case you haven't t
guessed, to the professional activi-
ty of the illustrious Hogue twins
from Jacumba.
This is not an article to advise
the twins what course they should
follow because better sports au-
thorities than have tried that
and failed.
The consensus of opinion among
the experts, however. is that the
twins are fighting too often. They
have been campaigning in the pro-
fessional ring for one month and
have had four bouts.
Fast Pace
That is a fast pace for a fighter
who has matured and who has
been in the game for a long period.
The twins are only 18 years of
age.
There is once chance in a mil
lion that the rapid pace establish
ed by the Jacumbans will not slow
their rise toward the top of the
fistic ladder. Smart gamblers, how
ever, won't offer odds better than
l0-1 on any chance.
The boxing ring has turned out
thousands of youngsters who have
tried to make the grade overnight.
Those boys are the ones who are
shining shoes and minding pool
tables to make a living.
There are, on the other hand,
many fighters who have planned
their campaigns carefully and who
have piled up enough money to
enter business or live comfortably
on their savings. They went the
long way around but they played

Could be Champs
have watched the twins in
action for nearly three years and
the most noticeable characteristic
in their fighting is that they have
not improved a great deal in their
three years of fighting.
Other than natural poise and
power gained by fighting and con-
tinual training the twins are not
a great deal better than they were
when they entered the fight racket.
1t is obvious then that the boys
are natural fighters. They were
born To make their living with
their fists. WITH expert training it
is logical to believe that they might
become champions OF the world.
They might anyway, but the
odds are against it.
The two drawbacks, overfighting
and lack of expert training, may
rob the twins of chance to be-
come national champions. The ex-
perts say it will, sports writers say
it will and the average boxing fan
says it will. Only the twins say
NO.
