Servo 'Disgusted'; May Quit Ring
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Sports Writer

New York, Sept. 25-(UP)-Wel- terweight Champion Marty Serve and Manager Al Veil were sched- uled today for conference at which Servo's retirement from the ring might be announced.
 Servo, stormy petrel of postwar boxing, has been considering retire. ment because he is "disgusted'' We'll disclosed today.
 Weil listed three reasons for Marty's disgust:
 CD The New York Boxing Com mission vacated Servo's title on Sept. 3 because of the champions refusal to go through with a sched- uled defense against Ray (Sugar) Robinson on Sept. 6, because of a painful nose condition.
 Forfeit Asked
 (2) The National Boxing ASso- citation voted at its recent Cleveland convention to continue recognizing Servo as champion if he would post forfeit of $10,0O0 by Oct. l, guar anteeing a defense against Robin son by Dec. l.
 (3) Servo's nose condition appar- ently has refused to respond to treatment, and a defense against Robinson before Dec. 1 might result in permanent injury.
 Weill explained, If we decide at today's conference that the risk of permanent injury is great, I'll retire Marty immediately-just as I re- tired his cousin, Lou Arnbers, in 1941, after Ambers failed to win back the lightweight crown from Lew Jenkins"
 Servo, of Schenectady, N. Y, won the world welterweight champion ship from Freddie (ReO Cochrane on a fourth-round knockout last Feb. l. The New York Commission had permitted Servo to bypass Ray (Sugar) Robinson as the challenger against Cochrane because Servo had a better service record than Robin son.

 Worcester, Mass, Sept. 25-(UP) Holy Cross figures to field a 1946 eleven superior to last years New England championship team, but whether the Crusaders will success fully celebrate their golden anni- versary of football depends on de- velopment of an Al tailback.
 Coach John (OX). Dagrosa, who lost only one regularly scheduled game in his first season, readily ad- mits Holy Cross will be better than the 1945 Orange Bowl team but pro- feSseS to be worried about the strength of the Crusaders op- ponents.
 Since football began at Mt. Saint James on an autumn afternoon in 1896, Holy Gross has done pretty well against all corners, compiling a 49-year-record of 262 wins, Al defeats and 40 ties. The Crusaders reached their peak nationally with a 47-7 mark during the tenure of Dr. Ed Anderson from 1883 through 1888.
 Under able Dagrosa they may land near the top of the eastern heap this year. He has the ma terial.
 Orange Bowl Man
 From the services alone, Holy Cross has 20 returning lettermen, several of whom were stars as far back as 1940. Add to this galaxy, 13 lettermen from an Orange Bowl team that was defeated in the final seconds of the game by the years most spectacualr play Finally toss in a generous sprinkling of fresh men.
 A quick peek at the roster shows the depth and experience of this squad, At quarterback alone, there are five men capable of starting against almost any opponent
 Heading the list is Ray Ball, Sil- yer Star holder and 1942 regular. Ball is a level-headed leader and an expert blocker, but he'll have to stay on his toes to rank such men as Walter Brennan, last years reg ular; Fred Kidd, a 1940 star; Gene DiFlippo, brilliant passer, and freshman Whiz Ray Dini.
 oa14 lultlllS mates proDaply will be fullback Bobby Sullivan from the 1942 eleven, bronze star winner Alex Wizbicki at right half back and Veto Kissell in the tail back slot. Requirements are three deep.
 The only rub is that Kissell is a converted fullback and may lack the necessary speed to spring plays from Dagrosa's version of the single wing.
 End to end and big and burly throughout, the Holy Gross line shapes up as the best in New Eng land. It's packed with such stel- lar performers as center Chet Yab- lonski, guards Bill Cfegar and Gene Spinelli, tackles John DiGangi and Ted Strojny and ends Walter Rob- erts and Bob Barton.

YoIes First Negro Player Has Old Blues Whooping It Up Before He Plays Game
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Sports Editor

New Haven, Sept. 25-(NEA)- Yale's first Negro football player, home-spun Levi Jackson, has Old Blues whooping it up before he has played game.
 There is considerable to go with the f1ve-foot 10-inch, 188-pound, 20- year-old Jackson, not the least of which is a Big Nine line, and the Ellis are already complaining about the schedule being too soft, al- though Colgate, Columbia and Cor nell are to be tackled on successive Saturdays, starting Oct. 5.
 Reggie Root coached freshman Jackson at New Haven High, re- mains with him now that he is back at his alma mater as assistant to Howie Odell Root, formerly head man there, goes with the lease at Yale.
 As phenomenal as he was in high school, townie Jackson struck his real stride as sergeant at Camp Lee last Fall, where he was drilled by Hooks Mylin.
 T can't find words to describe him." says that veteran coach.
 Jackson comes so highly recom- mended and sticks out to such an extent in practice that the Old Blues invited the New York press up for an official unveiling and barbecue.
 Two Touchdowns
 Fullback Jackson ran with the ball just three times, the first time for 30 yards and a touchdown, the second time for no gain when he fumbled and recovered a poor pass, the third time for 45 yards and an- other touchdown.
 Even such Yale immortals as the fabled Fudge Heffelfinger and John Reed Fitzpatrick, Cupid Black and the more modern Larry Kelley went into ecstasies about Jackson. And they only saw him run. Wait until they see him pass and kick.
 Jackson's principal assets are 'blinding speed, however, and the ability to turn on a pin-point. The youngster really can cut.
 From Howie OdellS T, the full back carries on swinging gate plays so Yale once more has a climax runner, who can blast through the middle as well.
 Although he had not played foot ball before, Jackson in his junior year at New Haven High recorded

Jeff 'Tesreou Dead at 58

Hanover, N. H., Sept. 25-(UP)- Charles (Jeff) Tesreau, 58-year-old former pitcher of the New York Giants and coach of the Dartmouth College baseball team since 1919, died last night of a paralytic stroke.
 The one time Giant hurler suffered the stroke Thursday, and had been on the critical list since then.
 Part of the Giants famed Big Three" Tesreau teamed up with Christy Mathewson and Rube Mar quard to give the New Workers one of the standout pitching staffs of all time. He enjoyed his best big league season in 1914, winning 26 games and losing 10.
 Tesreau held the lowest earned run average in the National League in 1912 when he allowed 196 runs in 243 innings. That year he pitched the only no-hit, no-run game in the senior circuit, defeating the Phil adelphia Phillies 3 to 0. He pitched in two World Series, winning one game and losing three.
 Tesreau quit the Giants after the 1919 season to accept the Dartmouth coaching job.

New York, Sept. 25.-(UP)- Champion Tony Zale and ehallen- ger Rock Graziano were reported Tin perfect shape" today as they completed training, with light gym nasiun exercises, for their world middleweight title fight at Yankee Stadium Friday night.
 Both wound up their boxing preparations yesterday at Stillman's gymnasium: and the handlers of each announced with relief, mo hand injuries; no face cuts or bruises"
 zale of Gary, Ind, has spared 68 rounds to sharpen his first de- fense of the 160-pound crown; and Graziano of New York had tossed leather for 60.
 Close Enough
 The champion expects to scale about 158 pounds Friday noon at the weigh-in in the New York State building; Graziano figures on 154.
 Graziano was favored to win at 81z to F; and it was an even money bet that the Rock" would register a knockout. Bookies were offering Al that Graziano lasts the distance"
 Zale's managers, Sam Plan and Art Winch, said they would re- quest the boxing commission to warn Graziano against rough tac- tics. Plan told reporters, If Gra- ziano makes one illegal move in the ring, Tony will give him the works-with every roughhouse trick he knows"

In l747, an unusal event took

The river was the Thames, and
the test took place at a point

an electric machine storing an elec-

an electric current was made to

The wire in the mans hand ran
back across the river, being held

There are times when there Is
nothing more consoling than to be
alone.
One can find much pleasure In
painless woods or on lonely shores.
There is the society into which no
one intrudes.
The fisherman fishes alone, the
pilot flies alone; and each has
deep satisfaction.
Haven't you been hurt so, deeply
or saddened so greatly that words
cannot heal? These are the times
when you want to be alone, for
there is peace in silence.
All thinking. all imagining. Is done
in quiet. Silent. starry skies smile
as us, foamy white clouds dream
with us, and the cool brown earth
comforts us.
Lingering in memories all our
days are the sole mountain climbs.
the forest hikes, and the boat sail
ing, wherein We got away from
people and became content in the
beauty and wonder of nature.
Ambition is born in the stiffness
OF a crimson dawn. Genius is nur-
tured in the splash of water against
a rock. Confidence arises in the re-
sistence to strong wind or the
slashing rain. Compassion is the
result of a fine white snowfall.
Silence is the supreme expression
of feeling.

Many marvels of the present are
possible only because we have the
wonderful power called electricity.
The word came to us from an old
Greek term, ''elektron," meaning
amber"
Amber was used by Greek women
for string beads. Some one learned
that when it was rubbed hard, it
would "pick up" hairs and bits of
thread. Other Greeks tried the same
thing, and thought that it was fun
to play with the amber. They had
no idea that they were playing with
Ia power which would some day do
great things for the human race.
The Middle Ages came and went.
Then certain men in England began
to play with amber again. They soon
found that glass would act the same
as amber when rubbed with cloth
(You might rub the back of rubber
comb on piece of cloth and watch
it pick up bits of paper0
Glass tubes came into use for max
ing electricity. After they were
rubbed with wool, the tubes gave
little shocks" and could be used to
pick up bits of paper. Glass globes
were often used instead of tubes.
About 800 years ago, German
named Otto Gericke made globe
partly out of sulphur. When this
was rubbed, 1t gave a shock. It
also provided light which could
best be seen In a dark room.
