Experts Differ on
WiIlis-Spencer 60
BY BOB MURPHY

Not since Roscoe Toles and
Jimmy Adamck were matched in
a Detroit ring in 1888 has a meet
ing between two local fighters
caused as much talk and specula-
tion as next Friday nights sched-
uled meeting between Leroy Will
lis and Leon Spencer al Olympia
Here. truly. seems TO be a
natural. 1t will be the lean, lanky
Willis depending on his boxing
liability against a foeman who
seems TO possess more strength
and punch.
Both fighters can point with
pride at their records Willis has
won 19 out of 20 bouts. losing
only to tough Phil Terranova.
LOSES ONLY THREE
Spencer started fighting in
Cleveland as professional in
1912. Out of 16 fights, he has lost
only three. Seven knockouts are
included in his 13 wins, clear eYi-
dence of his ability 10 punch.
As a sample, here is the may
most veterans of Cauliflower
Alley view the fight.
"Scotty' Strachan. from a sick
bed. was quick TO give the nod 10
Willis.
II think Leroy il cute enough
10 stay away from Spencer In
the early rounds. / saw Spencer
run out Of gas once when he
had fight won. lie might do
IL again"
FAVoRs SPENCER
Harry Baxter. manager Of
ksyo Morgan. thought differently
"Tve never been sold on VIII
lis. think Spencer is too strong
for him"
Bert Lamb. former fighter. and
now making a hobby Of training
youngsters al the Trumbull avenue
police athletic club. thought
Spencer would ogtrHsh and out
punch Willis.
Grady jackson. Spencer man
ager. SAID ----
We've been trying 10 land
the Willis match for five
months. We know the kind OF
fighter we've got snd this win
sends him up the ladder"
And 50 u goes 10th fighters

the Tuskegee Air Base could teach.
They Will hold tenaciously to the
custom and practice OF separation
of the races on the ground that the
Negro is something different and
cannot be integrated into the warp
and wool OF American life.
That one big Justification for
the existence Of this separate.
Negro training center Ii de-
stroyed by the fact that Its lesson
will not reach those who need TO
learn II.
But what lesson there Is!
WAS FLOWN 10 the air base
by a pilot who had been trained
at Tuskegee. We rode in . BIS
bomber from Washington 10 the
base in 3 hours and Is minutes.
| sat beside him in the co-pllotS
seat and had the opportunity To
observe his handling OF that power
house in the air. He did II win
the skill and poise that my dauGh-
Ter shows in riding her bicycle.
The 1872 dials. keys, and instru-
ments on the panel and surround
ing his seat were as simple and
clear 10 him as the ABCs are 10
me. He lifted the plane into the
air with the ease that | would
pick up book He sat II down in
night landing at TuSkc9ee as
lightly and smoothly as a mother
would tuck her Weeks-oid babe into
the CRIB.
Coming back, another pilot. nv
ing a routine cross country flight
IN another B-25 gave me not
moments anxiety. Over Georgias
red clay. over mountains draped
in broccoli-look trees, over cities
that looked like models in q toy
electric-train set, We zoomed along
1000 feet overhead al 220 miles an
hour. General Doolittle could not
have performed the job more safely
nor more smoothly.
BIZ; the flying was not the main
point OF interest in my experience.
Official staff and the pilots vas
even more enlightening. Actually,
al Tuskegee Army Air Field are
the topnotch young men OF Negro
America. They are alert, compe-
tent. skiilful young men. Their
oetng IN this one place accen;u-
s,eS the high caliber OF the group.
But the value OF this segregation
as lesson 10 those who need II
Is lost. II serves, instead. 10 en-
bitter many OF the fellows No
tendency IS shown TO integrste Ne
groeS into the army AIR forces az
their merit JuStltieS.
IT MAY BE TRUE that we would
not have had the 99th Pursuit
Squadron had Il not been for the
separate training center a. TuSkc-
gee Nor would we have had the
332nd Fighter Group. nor the 477th
Bon bardmen; Group. We would
no, have had hundreds OF our bows
trained IN aviation as pilots. me-
chanicS photographers. supply OFF,
GERS. etc Their outstanding per-
formauceS may have been hidden
from view had they been scattered
throughout the air forces.
We have those things now. how
ever. And they have proved be.
You'd any doubt that the Negro
can master the intricate secrets OF
flylng and maintaining planes.
There is no longer any justification
for those who said we must ex-
pertinent IN a manner 10 give the
Negro chance 10 prove he can do
II. nor for those who say we must
take what We can get IN order 10
make an entering wedge" Both
the experiment and the entrance
have been made And both have
been star-Studded success.
