the Garden semiflnalist with a
short left hook in less than a
minute.
AS a college fighter Lassman
never allowed his opponent to
last beyond So seconds of the
first round. The 52-second vic
tim was some Army heavy
weight. Most of Al's college
fights were over in a few Sec

still believe Lassman would
have stopped Max Schmeling
within a few rounds and that
he would have had an even
chance with Joe Louis. He was
as big as Louis, much faster and
just as hard a puncher with
either hand. This could never
be proved. because Lassman was
wrecked physically in a football
game at Carnegie Tech when he
crashed headlong into a bench
off the playing fed. He was
drowned a few years later.
Big AL might have been one
of the all-time greats. Willhoite

NEW YORK. Jan. 21-It was
just before Christmas and Jackie

of the Brooklyn Dodgers. I'm
glad you dropped in," a club
official remarked. II want to
talk to you about next year.
"I'll get to the point quickly"
the official continued. "We have
a kid second baseman in the

His name is Junior Gillian and
he was the best minor league

able to do all the things you do,
but he's 10 years younger.
Hes not even on our roster

grooming him for your job.
Now. what we would like from
you would be to help the kid as
much as you can. We're asking
a lot since you may be cutting
your own throat. How about
it?"
Robinson Not Quitting.
Robinson, who had been list

possibly can" he said. Il hope,
for the Dodgers sake, he is every

Turner After Gavi|an
Following Easy Win
Over Slow Dykes
BY the Asseeiated Press

BY the AsSocoted Press
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-
''Well. that's half the job
DONE" young Gil Turner said
as he sat on his dressing room
table last night after whipping
Bobby Dykes.
The 22-year-old Philadelphia
welterweight has lost only two
bouts in a 36-fight career. one
to Dykes and one to Kid Gavilan,
welterweight champion. The
humping he gave Dykes last
night avenged one defeat. But
there's still Gavilan.
Turner hasn't anything against
Michigan States Chuck Davey,
but he hopes Gavilan retains
the welter crown February II
in Chicago when the Cuban
risks his championship against
the sparkling collegian. Turner
wants to win the title from Cav
tlan to even the score on that
other defeat.
The big question after the
DykeS-Turner 10-rounder before
$3.50 at the Arena last night,
strangely enough, didn't concern
Turner. The fans who paid S45,-
839 to see what was expected to
be a corking good fight went
home asking, what happened
to DykeS?"

Dykes was disgusted with him
self. Sitting in his dressing
room, the tall Texan ventured
an opinion that prompted no
argument. Il was lousy. l didn't
have a thing.

had to take off to meet the con-

Three Rings Can Tie Record

of more than 100000 in stakes.
But if the weather's right,
Three Rings could do it Satur-

WIIhoite to Try Pro Boxing,

By GrontIond Rice

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, Jan.
21.-.Elmer Willhoite, Southern
California's All-America football
guard. is getting ready to make
a try at professional boxing, an
experiment that will be watched
with more than average interest
across the country. He is under
the guidance of Fidel LaBarba,
former f1yWeight champion and
one of the SmarteSt members Of
his profession.
Willhoite is 6-feet-1. weighing
215 pounds: He is % years old.
He has a powerful looking body,
including a pair of massive
hands. and more than the nor
NAL speed for one SO large. He
feels certain he can make his
way in a game which today has
little boxing skill. This applies
even to Rocky Marciano, VINO
isn't nearly as big nor as fast
as Willhoite.
I talked with LaBarba about
Elmer'S chances.
"He looks extremely promis-
ing" Fidel said. Il have been
giving him a few workouts and
he learns quickly. He is quick
on his feet and he has a pair Of
fast hands. Above all, he is a
great competitor. There will be
no question about his giving
everything he has. He seems to
like the game and I believe he
can give and take a good
punch"
How will you handle him?"
I asked.
Will Bring Him Up Slowly.
Il have already started his
first instruction." LaBarba said.
III work on the boxing side
for two or three months. We're
in no big hurry. If he comes
along as I think he should I'll
match him privately with two or
three good amateur boxers. If
he still looks good, then We'll
move into the professional side,
working our way up slowly. I'm
not going to rush him. He may
not have what it takes, although
he was a whale of a football
player. especially on the body
contact side of the game. No
one can say at this point what
his finish will be.
