T. Plot Crusaders Humble
 LeOpards M Consolation, 9-3

The Town Plot Crusaders recent ly won the 10 to 12-year-old cham pionship in The Waterbury Demo- crat Sandlot league by defeating the Leopards, to l, but the Cracker Hill boys believed the best team last and demanded another crack at Tony Lepore's boys.
 The Plotters obliged and met them Saturday afternoon at Ham, ilton Park and whatever beliefs the Leopards held pertaining to their superiority were atom bombed into oblivion, for the Plotters walloped them convincingly, g to 3.
 It was billed as consolation game, but the only consolation the Leopards had was that it was only a seven inning fray, not g. nine, for the score might have been much larger, so superior were the Town Plotters
 To make matters worse for the humbled nine, they lost their star catcher early in the game. Tony Lasalata split a finger on his throw ing hand in the fifth inning when a foul tick from a Leopard bat struck him.
 Leo Gilis, winning pitcher, was the whole show, for in addition to allowing the Cracker Hill entry but one hit, collected four hits himself in as many trips to the plate, in- cluding a home run. He batted in

SerUo SerUed m Army and US.
 Coast Gudrd

Marty Servo was the first fighter to gain a world championship after the war He knocked out Fred die (Red Cochrane in the fourth round at Madison Square Garden last Feb. to win the welterweight title. Like Willie Pep, who sreved both in the Navy and Army, Servo also wore the uniforms of two branches of the service. He enlisted in the National Guard at IS and became a member of the Regular Army when the Guard was federalized. He got his dis charge early in 1941 and then, few months before Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in the Coast Guard. He served as athletic instructor, first at Ellis Island, next at Eliza beth City, Va, finally at Norfolk, Va. (. Last fall he received his dis charge, resumed his boxing career in December, won a few tune-up matches and then vanquished Cochrane. |. In March he suffered a kayo at the hands of Middle weight Rocky Graziano -. Barred by the New York State Athletic Commission from engaging in any warm-up matches in preparation for his title defense against Ray Robinson at the Yankee Stadium Friday, Sept 6, Servo managed to get in two fights at Army Hospitals. .. . He knocked out Jimmy Anest in five rounds at Halloran Hospital, outpointed Bobby Lakin in ten at Hilton General Hospital in Fort Dix. Servo was born Mario Sev- erino in Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. 3, 1919. He is one of seven chill dren |. Marty attended Mott Ter race High School and was a mem Der of the cross-country team .. He began boxing as an amateur when he was 16 and weighed 112. .. .. A spectator at an amateur show, Marty volunteered to substitute for an ailing principal. He found himself in with 134-pounder but he won, despite the fact that his only experience with gloves had pSeL III 1llLle uelgnDOrIlOOO Byul '. Servo went on to become a great amateur, winning 4 of 97 bouts, winning as a Diamond Belt CT, Golden Glover, and reaching the finals of National A.A.U. at Boston. :. Early in his pro career his manager Al Weill, decided to shorten his name and he changed Severino to Servo. Much of his early pro fighting was done as a lightweight but then he moved into the welterweight class where he soon established himself as an out standing title challenger. He boxed Ray Robinson twice. once in Philadelphia, once in New York. Servo lost the decision on each oc- casion but the fights were blister ing affairs and close all the way. e. In the second contest the decision was split, the referee voting for Servo. Lou Ambers, former lightweight champion, is related to Servo and has helped him consid- ertably in the ring.

Taylor Blast Clue To Coming Grid Upsets

The explosion generated by west Points General Taylor, when he charged college football with pro- fessionalism" is a strong symptom that the 1946 grid season will see the toughest competition in all football history. Coaches who never before dreamed their teams would have a chance in the big time, can pick and choose from squads loaded with top football material-return- ing GIs, matured and toughened un- der fire-ready to play the game up to the hilt. According to Grantland Rice, in his "1946 College Football Preview," appearing in the LOOK Magazine released nationally to- day., Army's wartime supremacy is seriously threatened in the East by any one of six teams.
 Every section of the country of- <ers at least two candidates for team greatness, teams that could beat Army" According to the pre- season dope, the most intense con- centration of strength Is in the Mid west and the South. In the East, Army should watch particularly Navy, and Columbia, team that may wei go undefeated. With backs like Rossides and Kusserow, ranging behind a fast, tough line, Lou Little's men are geared to go places.
 In the West, Notre Dame and H. linois have. an edge on good teams like Michigan, Ohio State and Pur- due, only because both are loaded with stars. Matching man for man, Notre Danes slight advantage may come from the superlative. passing Of quarterback Lujack, one of the best of all time.
 The South and Southwest are ably represented by Alabama and Georgia, and by the Oklahoma Ag- gies and Texas respectively, with Gilmer, Trippi, Fenimore and Lane among the top stars available to their coaches.
 On the West Coast, Southern Cal ifornia and UCLA known as leaders of the pack, with Oregon and Ore gon State as Pacific Coast Confer ence dark horses. McArdle, Rossi, Ieicht, and Gray are among the best of lush crop of great backs and linemen. With so much fine material backed by top coaching, it's easy to understand the uproar touched off by General Taylor's professionalism" blast.
