It wasn't always thus, and
truth is, it doesn't seem like the

to flare up when his boys were
done wrong. But, as he says now,
"Life's too short; you can't win

Saturday will determine the final
field for the Wanamaker Mile, fea-
ture event of the 41st Millrose in

ment yesterday while revealing the
acceptance of the entry of Penn
States Gerald Karver, National
AAU 1,500-meter champion for the
event.
Karver joins Gil Dodds, who won
the event last year In 4:09.2. The

Boston Athletic Association, was
accepted last week. Four or five
more runners are expected to COM
pete in the Wanamaker Mile.
Although it will be Karver's first

ton to winning the AAU 1,500-meter
event, Karver gained triumphs In
the IC4A and NCAA mile runs.
Penn State also has entered Hor-
ace Ashenfelter in the two-mile run

Cooper's knowledge
OF Infighting Earns
Verdict Over Pucci

There's an old saying around the
fight game-and 1t has the added
virtue Of being true occasionally
that a fighter learns something new
in every fight. Last night at Tur-
ner's Arena, young Jimmy Cooper Of
Washington learned about might
ing. What's more, he put his new
knowledge to work right away, using
some short, sweet inside uppercuts
in the last two rounds to take a
close eight-round decision over
Frankie Pucci Of Toronto.
Pucci was the aggressor most Of
the way, working in close with q
body attack and forcing Cooper to
back pedal much Of the time trying
to find room enough to work with
his jab and hook. That jab was
Cooper's main weapon, but until
he abandoned 1t and played with
Pucci at his own game 1t was any
body's fight. There was a bit Of
booing over the decision from Gus
toners who thought that at worst
Pucci should have had draw.
Both boys weighed 1921 and put
up an excellent bout. A crowd of
1923 paid gross gate of $2,336, ,03
and net of $1,739.97.
The featherweight semifeature of
eight rounds also was a thriller all
the way, with Red Gaddis turning
in q mild upset by decisioning Kid
Alexander. In other bouts, Kid
Ferris chilled Speedy Robinson in
1:45 of the third round of light
weight go, and Billy Lanham out
slugged Leon Ford in a five-round
heavyweight bout. A "waltzing"
contest between George Brooks and
Sam Jefferson, local light heavy
weights, was tossed out in the sec
ond round by Referee Harry Volk-
