from last years team.
Only two other letterinen are
returning. Mel Comm and Leo
Doyle, and it's likely that they'll

sophomore, in the starting lineup
which will average 6 feet 2 inches

Mandler looms as the outstand-
ing scoring threat, having counted
168 points last year to be second

nets for 68 field goals and tossed
in 30 free shots in 19 games. Cart

Veteran Gives
Kid a Lesson
In First Rounds
But Detroit Youth
Learns Tactics Fast
For Barroom Brawl
BY JACK SINGER

NEW YORK, Dec. lo.-Dire
things, it seems, always happen to
Adam in a Garden. Last night,
in Madison Square Garden, Adam
Pianga, who prefers to commit
manslaughter under the fanclful
nom de guerre of Young Kid
Mccoy. learned just what to ex-
pect when boy meets guile.
Mccoy, a tow-headed, 2l-year-
old fistic find from Detroit, earned
10-round draw with Fearless
FritZie Civic, the lovable little
scholar from Pittsburgh. but the
blue eyed protege of Norman Selby,
the original Kid Mccoy, received
an advanced course in the manly
art of self defense.
CLEAN FOR ZIVIC
1t was one of Zivic's cleanest ex-
hibitions. In the second round
Mccoy slipped to his launches and
Fritzie proved himself a real
sportsman when he didn't kick his
PROSTATE opponent. Zivic. the
cunning veteran who has been
known to keep a civil thumb in a
foes eye, held and hit, hit on the
break. and lost one round on q
foul which cost him the fight.
Mccoy, who possesses all the
|charming naivete of youth, couldn't
have gained a better education in
a shanty brawl and no doubt be
will profit by his CHASTITY experi-
ence when he meets Ray (Sugar)
Robinson, the lightweight Louis, at
the Garden January 16.
The winner of that fist fiesta
is scheduled to challenge Freddie
(Red) Cochrane for the welter-
weight championship, in February,
but this program. of course, Is
subject to revision. Michael
knows that it is foolish to plan
beyond tomorrow in a mad world
torn by war.
CROWD PLEASED
The crowd of SSH, which con-
! tributed to gross gate of SO. 678,
agreed with ringside reporters that
the decision was eminently just.
Referee Arthur Donovan and
Judge Marty Monroe scored it an
even fight. The other Judge, Sam
Robinson. voted for Mccoy, giving
six rounds to him and four for
Civic.
The Garden windows were
:, BACKED out--and the fighters were
the same. Two Earring right
crosses closed Fritzie's left eye in
the seventh round McCoy's right
eye was swollen tight in the
tenth.
In the early rounds. Mccoy
must have thought he was boxing
all five Civic brothers at once.
The gentle Pittsburgher pulled the
youngster in close and sprayed
him with furry of leather.
MCCOY STARTS
After the fifth, Mccoy didn't
stop, hook or listen. He danced
nimbly around the crafty veteran
and stabbed him with darling lefts
and rights. McCoy's heroic tenth
round rally undoubtedly swayed
the officials. Zivic was DR.. Cy-
clops. He couldn't see out of his
left eye and he kept his right on
I the clock.
In his dressing room. Civic, who
dropped decision to Robinson re-'
Gently. predicted that the colored
flash would thrash Mccoy.
Robinson will outspeed him."
Fritzie muttered behind an ice
pack which he held over his
bruised, purple eye. Mccoy Is
a good boy, but he's lot easier
to hit than Robinson"

Roy Murray, rancher and hunter in
the Boulder valley, recently killed four
mountain lions in the Elkhorn range.
The above picture shows him with the
hides, his favorite horse and favorite
and invaluable dog.
Murray and his brother, Clarence,
located several years ago in Boulder
valley as ranchers. They had previ-
ously lived in British Columbia. When
they moved to this section Of the
country. they took up ranching in
Jefferson county, but have kept up
their trapping and hunting as a side
line
Travels on Horseback
Their services in the latter respect
are greatly valued by the sportsmen.
Each lion will average three to four
familiar with their depredations. The
lions, whose carcaSSeS are shown above,
had Just killed two elk which had been
planted in the valley by the Rocky
NJ unit ain Sportsmens association.
When Murray learned of it. he i'm
mediately set out to find them. He
travels on horseback and carries
5000 rifle.
William Sweet, an active and en-
following to say regarding the Murray
brothers and their determination to
keep the district free of these pred
atorS:
Lions Powerful, Destructive
THE fact that Murray kills every
lion that drifts onto the Elkhorn, Crow
Creek, Bull Mountain, Dry Creek and
Little Boulder ranges Is godsend to
the sportsmen Of this locality. He es-
Inmates that one lion will kill on an
average of three elk or three deer
each week, which would make a total
of 40 deer or elk killed in the course
of year by these four lions. They
are powerful, vicious and very destruc-
tive.
The state bounty on lions at this
time is $50 each, in addition to a
bounty paid by the Taylor grazing act.
Has Hunting Dog
Few people realize the dangers and
hardships encountered on lion hunt.
They inhabit the highest. most mac
cessible mountain country available,
where high cliffs, shale rock. fallen
timber. cold. wind-swept ridges and
deep crusted snow-and usual sub
