CHICAGO. Nov. 24.-Joey
Maxim becomes a trial horse
again tonight. testing up-and-
coming Paul Andrews of Buffalo
in a 10-round scrap of light
heavyweights at Chicago Sta
dium.
Some one once said of the
32-year-old Maxim that 'he
never really licks anybody. but
he's tough to beat"
A masterful boxer but no
great puncher. Joey will be
faced with a hard-hitter eight
years his junior in the nationally
televised bout. cThe fight will be
carried by Washington's WTOP
at 10 o'clock.)
Experience might tell, just
like it did when Maxim recently
handed Olympic Champion
Floyd Patterson his only defeat.
But the odds range between
q to l and 8 to l on young
Andrews, a lanky ex-paratrooper
who has stopped 10 opponents
in winning 20 of 80 starts. 81;
Ranked Second and Third.
Andrews currently is ranked
No. 8 and Maxim No. 2 among
contenders for the light-heayy
crown held by Archie Moore. !
Maxim has been fighting since
1941. Four years ago he
startled fans by kayoing Fred
die Mills in London to win the
world hght-heavy title. ~
"If you hit a guy often enough,
he win fall down." joey said
after that one.
He lost his championship TO
Moore December II, 1852, and
was beaten in two rematches
since then. In fact. Maxim
keeps pretty busy. having en-
gagged in los bouts, losing 81 and

Moore, he also faced Jersey Joe

and against Maxim's defense.
Only once has Maxim been
knocked out, by Curtis Shep-

The 6-foot-3 Andrews is n
methodical fighter with power
in either fist. He dropped for
