Many Local IL boxing fans
are planning to attend the To.
Iledo Times-sponsored Police and
Fire Recognition Night Boxing
Show, next Wednesday night, al
the Toledo University Field
House.
One of the main attractions
on the professional card will
be the 10 rounder betwe e r
Harold Jones, Wyandotte light
weight, and Leroy Willis, De-
troit slugger. Jones appeared
here on Local IL Amateur box
ing shows at the Civic Audi
torium and made a great hit
with Toledo fight fans because of
his ability and gameness. He
soon left the amateur ranks and
has gone a great distance in pro
circles.
The ticket sales have been
moving at brisk pace, but there
are a few choice seats left and
may be purchased from the
Local IL Recreation Director.

RivIin Will Pilot
Jeeps This Season

Many of the Local IL basket
ball fans who followed the
Toledo Jeeps last year are
pleased to hear of the return OF
Jules Rivlin as pilot of this
city's contribution to the Ma
tional Professional Basketball
League. Rivlin is the fiery little
star who not only master
minded the Jeeps into the finals
of the world's championship
tournament last year, but was
named as the most valuable
player in the entire tourney-a
most coveted honor.
At five feet, 1912 inches, Riv-
lin is the smallest player on the
Jeeps' squad, but the 3O-year'
old forme Marshall College
star is rated as one of the great
est play-makers in the game
and is a brilliant all-around per-
former.
The Jeeps plan to start Off
their 1947-48 campaign with
Rivlin once again in a key
playing position, surrounded by
most of last years cast and
some touted newcomers.

anyone his size.
