Week IS Boxing
BY the Associated Press

Nearly three years ago the big
name was Ray Robinson and q
fellow named Bobo Olson was
trying to muscle the slick Sugar
Ray out of his middleweight title.
Bobo didn't succeed that night
of May Is, 1852. in San Fran
cisco. but he came close. The
years have moved fast since then
and time has q way Of evening
things.
This week in boxing. the head
liner is the same Bobo Olson,
now middleweight champion of
the world and trying for bigger
stakeS-something that eluded
the great Robinson. An also-ran
on the weeks card is Ray Robin
son not so slick as in the past
and trying to recapture the skill
and speed that time has taken
away.
On Wednesday night in San
Francisco's Cow Palace. the 90
year-old Olson takes on joey
Maxim, the ex-light-heavyweight
boss, in a non-title hereunder
that will be telecast (WTOP in
Washington coast-to-coast.

and earn a crack at Archie
Moore 175-pound title. The
5-foot-101a middleweight will
spot the 6-foot-1 Maxim about
seven pounds-175 to 1853.
The following night. the "a
year-old Robinson faces Ted
Ola of Milwaukee in the latter's
home town. The hereunder
won't be telecast. This may be
the end of the trail for Robinson
if he fails to do well against a

Ezzard Charles, the former
heavyweight champion. isn't kid

the string fighting for money.
