Sophomore stars on athletic
teams often suffer a letdoWn IN
their junior year and are a burden
rather than an asset. Such is the
case of Jack Kirkpatrick. center
on the basketball team at e. Centre
high school.
Kirkpatrick was all-conference
center last season as a sophomore
and was high scorer in the valley
league. This season, however, Kirk
patrick has flashed his 1888 bril-
lance in only one quarter of play.
That was in the third quarter of
the Point Iona game when he
scored seven points and played a
good brand OF ball defensively.
Kirk a Problem
Chances are that kirkpatrick
will return to his last season form
when he becomes a senior, but the
present problem is. what to do
with him now.
Coach Larry Hanson, who has
already thought of turning gray
with worry over his basketball
team. is at a loss. Kirkpatrick
could be-the outstanding basket
ball player in the southwest. But
the fact remains, ne isn't.
The high school mentor plans
to build his team around Payne
and Peterson at forwards, with
Fisher or Longacre working in at
the pivot position. for opening
league games against Imperial and
Holtville.
At the end of that period, if
Kirkpatrick continues TO show a
lack of playing ability, Hanson
will shove Kirkpatrick to the sec
ond team and keep him there for
the remainder Of the season.

young Billy conn OF PlttSDurSn,
gangling boy who may be eating
himself into a match with Joe
Louisa rollicking, honest Irish
man who scornS the odds fate lays
against success, guy who grins
when he's hurt and who comes out
in the end-the winner!
He came out that way last night
against Fred Apostoli after 10
bruising rounds and even though
no boxing title was at stake, it's
been long, long time since the
wise, tough fight crowd in the
Garden has come to its feet, scream
ing like foghorns, slapping stran-
gers on the back and yelling "the
kid did it, the kid did it"
Get the picture, Apostoli, recog-
nized as middleWeight champion in
New York state, was a 13 to five
favorite. He punches hard with
both hands He's crafty. He knows
all the tricks of gouging and but
ting. He's getting the big cut of
the gate He's confident, a little
contemptuouS. He's out to do a
quick job.
And over in the other corner is
Billy Conn. He's q years old and
still growing. Even if he wins

about it-he can't claim the middle

seven pounds over the limit His

Cling, six feet tall and too thin to
stand up under the bulling and
beating that Apostoli can hand out
There were about 10000 persons
in the Garden and Billy won 10000
of them in a few seconds. He won
the ladies because he has a Hol-
lywood profile and curly hair and
for the rest of the fight you could
| hear contralto and alto voices
| pleading through the roar-"kill
him, Billy, kill him. He won old
time boxers because they liked the
way his left landed on Apostoli's
face before Fred could get in a
counter punch.
