Coos+ins Along

PCRlEAND, ore, Jan. rs. tUP)
The thing that impressed Us
about the first prize fight we ever
saw was the fact that, as referee.
a little guy could boss around two
hulking bruisers and get away with
it. II seemed to US that the referee
should be able 10 lick either OF
them, or both, if he expected to
have any control over them. CAS-
wrestling later developed, this PROV
ed to be the case)
But a wise sports writer next to
US explained that the referee did
it by moral ascendancy by sheer
power of character.
That may be all right for a ref
cree, but a reporter should never
get into the ring with two prize
fighters and depend on power Of
character
Take the case of Cpl. Costello
Cruz, who arrived here from Flor
ence, Ariz., for a 10-round non
title bout Friday with the Pacific
coast middleweight king, Jack
Chase.
You arrive at the gym late and
find Cruz in the midst Of a fast
set-to with a sparring partner.
Mindful Of how the war CORE
spondents do it, you decide to cover
the action right on the battle
front.
Sticking your press card in your
hat like they do in the movies, you
climb through the ropes armed with
a pencil and a wad of copy paper
TO take down Cruz statements.
How do You like the army?" you
yell at Cruz as they drift over your
way. You remember he's been in
10 months now.
Il like it fine" he yells back. You
write that down on your copy pa
per.
A little surprised at the answer,
next time they come by you ask,
Why do you like it?'
I'm in better shape than I ever
was, I've added almost an inch in
height" he says. But you can.
write that down. You haven't STEP
ped lively enough and in the melee
your pencil and copy paper have
been knocked from your hands
The pencil point IS broken.
At that moment you see the spar
ring partner nearby, apparently
not doing much. So, holding the

HAVE EQUAL CHANCE
Using the performances of the
various teams in previous matches
as a basis, the committeeman made
every effort to be fair to all con-
ccTned, and, according to Mr.. john
son, each team now has an equal
chance to win.
The committee decided Sunday
that in addition to the previously
announced winner and runner-up
trophies, consolation prize will
be awarded. Losers in the first
round matches will get a second
chance for some good play in the
consolation bracket.

day, Mr. Johnson said. The handi-
caps We're set as follows on the
doubles teams:
