He Likes Sugar Pills, but Says
Let us Not Mention Lettuce
By Lewis r. Atchison

"I didn't mind you saying I
wilted, but when you added like
drugstore lettuce you ruined
me-" said Huck Hughes, one,
time Catholic U. welterveight.
Every time I 60 back to Annap-
oils now my friends call me Old
Drugstore Lettuce"
Dimly We recalled the line.
Huck, like SO many college ring
men, frequently lost his steam
in the last round of his freshman
bouts because of nerves. Too
tense, Coach Eddie La Fond
would say, and. there wasn't
much he could do about 1t.
But Eddie fixed me for the
Miami fight" Huck recalled. The
night before the match he gave
me two little white pills. Take
one now,' he said. then about
3 am, If you still can't sleep,
take the other, but don't take
both at once under any circum-
stances-they're powerful drugs
ct took one and was snoring
before it dissolved. Next day
they couldn't wake me. I slept
IL hours and felt fresh as a
spring morning for the first time
since I'd been fighting and that
night I scored my first knock
out against Lew Price of Miami.
1--WE were halfway home before
I discovered the powerful drug
Eddie had given me was sugar
pill that wouldn't have made a
hibernating bear drowsy. 1t was
all in my mind"
Mind over matter is a wonder

agreed. Take the first time Bob
Lamon reported for basket ball
practice at the Merrick Boys
Club. He was a stranger from
out of town and the regulars
wanted no untried newcomers on
the team.
But we could see he had the
makings of a good player" Huck
said, land we insisted on putting
him in the lineup and now look
at him, one of American Univer-
sity's best men. I'll have to come
out and have a look at him We'd

L,amon reminded us OF theory
advanced by Coach John jan
kowski of Central, regarding
boys clubs.
Boys clubs are the greatest
things that ever happened for
high school coaches" he told us.
II know, because I've been on
both sides of the fence, and you
can see a big difference in the
boys who've had boys club train
ing and those who haven't"
But, with Charley Reynolds,
Ollie Dryer and Barney Ross
coaching at the Eastern Branch
Boys Club Of Washington, and
Paul Cassasa and Joe Branzell
putting the youngsters through
their PAGES at Georgetown. it's no
wonder the boys coming from
those places have . head start.
