mrs. u. B. r.. Falls Cllurcill
Here are two recipes for
Sweet Potato Pudding, the first
one / have used often. having
gotten 1t from a cousin in
North Carolina. It allows q
good deal of leeway in ingre-
dientS and is easy to mix. Two
or three eggs seem to work
equally well. and / sometimes
use more sweet potatoes If ]
have a small amount leftover.
The second recipe is from
q cook book called Recipes
from Old Virginia" This is a
little more trouble. but gives
more exact directions. ! hope
the lady who requested the
sweet potato recipe will enjoy
trying these. We think they
go especially well with country
ham.
! am still watching for a
recipe requested sometime ago
for a rum cake made similar to
a pound cake. If any one knows
how to make this, I wish they
would send it in. I've searched
my cook books In vain.

Took Up Boxing to Keep in Shape
Fiqht Pros Flock to KdnthoI

By GEORGE Huber

Len Kanthal, who started anna
teur boxing a little over a year

school football season, now has

All, of course, want Kanthal

Using prospect in a heavyweight
division that always can use boys
with size, punch. speed, a fight
ing instinct and other assorted
abilities.
The fact that Kanthals door
is at the Quantico Marine Base
and that he still has a little more
than three years to serve isn't
slowing the professionals one bit.
Lenny will be only % when his
hitch is up. which is no handi-
cap at all due to the sad shape

nowadays.
Kanthal is a Washington boy
who played football at Coolidge
High School and who enlisted in
the Marines when he turned 18
last April. He showed talent as

Some idea of his athletic abil-

that his most ardent rooter, his
mother. Mrs. Freda Kanthal, al
ready has filled a 2112 Inch thick
scrapbook with clippings about
him and is working on a second
one.
1t was after the 1852 football
season at Coolidge that Lenny
became interested in fighting as
a means of just doing something
athletically. He entered the
1858 Golden Gloves tournament
here under the Catholic Youth
Organization banner and won
his first novice class bout but
lost in the final on a split deci-
sion.
Then came his entry in the
Marines and this winter a series
of Marine dual meets. He lost
his first fight, again on a split
decision, and then took five in
a row.
BY this time Kanthal was a
6-foot-2, 2O5-pounder, mostly
bone and muscle, with big
hands, arms and shoulders-in
fact solidly built all the way.
And it was the 1854 Golden
Gloves tourney starting in
January that really shot him
into public attention.
In quick order Lenny won the
District heavyweight senior title,
the Eastern title and the East
West title.
His amateur total is now 13
victories, mostly by knockoutS,
and those two split-decision
losses. He was the favorite Of
