23d annual Golden Gloves tourns

cally stormy 16-bout program be-
fore an appreciative audience.
Skill played a secondary role
to courage and tenacious de-
termination as the colorful
fistic carnival. sponsored by The
Star, moved through the first
phase of six-week program.
And, as anticipated. the OPEN
ing round turned up couple
of styiists whose f1nesse and
shatteriIlg punches sent the fans
bug eyed. With more exper-
fenced fighters among those
slated for action on next Tuesday
nights second round card at the
same arena, the tournament
seems headed for another sue

They came in all shapes and

defense was too much for him,
Harold gave it his all, includ-

Brown outweighed his oppo-
Inent by eight pounds, 223 to 215,
and there's not much doubt that
he would have Jared better if
he'd left some of that baggage

NEW YORK, Jan. % (P.-
Cherif Hanna of France leads
the pack of challengers swapping

Fred SADLY, secretary of the
National Boxing Association
said in Milwaukee last night
that the winner of bout be-
tween Hanna and Carmelo Costa

by that organization as the new

The New York State Athletic

involving the leading contenders
when the medical report on Sad
dler is digested.

San Francisco, probably will be
in the midst of the scramble
SADLY said Berries. who hac
been No. 2 in both MIA and Ring
ratings, was dropped to third be-
hind Costa after his defeat by
Cadilli.
According to Saddy's formula
Hanna and Costa would have tc
file an agreement with the MIA
to defend the newly won title

Nixon to Ask
Redskins for
His Release

! Mike Nixon, the Redskins
backfield coach who just signed
a new two-year contract last
Wednesday. was to see President
George Marshall today and at
tempt to get out Of it.
! I'll resign if Mr.. Marshall will
let me-" the 35-year-old former
Pittsburgh star said today.
/ Despite the fact that Nixon
said at various times that the
1856 season would be his last
with the Redskins, his attempted
resignation comes as something
of a surprise in view of the new
contract he signed. The day
after he signed. he submitted his
resignation to Head Coach Joe
Kuharich. but today's meeting
with Marshall will be his first
contract with the Redskins boss
since that time.
1 Nixon would give no reason
for his sudden change of heart
His relations with Kuharich, the
Redskins. Marshall and the
players all have been pleasant
/ Nixon. who came to the Red
skins with Kuharich two years
ago. said that if released by the
Redskins he still intends to re-
main in football coaching. He
said. however. that he has nc
concrete offer from anyone.
There is some speculation
however. that he might be q
candidate for the head coach
ing job with the Pittsburgh
Steelers. Walter Kiesling, the
coach there. is believed ready
Ito quit in about one more veal
because of poor health.
Nixon was a tailback at the
University of Pittsburgh, making
the All-America team in 1884.
Kuharich said today that HI
doesn't think Nixon's decision tt
leave the Redskins is final one
Hes talked about it for somt
time, but he keeps putting il
off," Joe said. THAT happen;
to all of us-players and coaches
alike. Lots of the fellows say
this is their last year, but gen.
orally they come back"
Regardless Of whether Nixon'l
resignation is accepted by Mar
shall, Nixon will stay with tn,
Redskins through the Nationa
Football Leagues draft Of col
lege talent a week from Thurs
day in Philadelphia. He hal
been one of the men workinl
with Kuharich and Marshall OF
what players the Redskins want
The Nixon-Kuharich associa
ton has been a fairly long anC
pleasant one. Both were assist
ants under Jock Sutherland will
the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1916
and in 1852 they again were to
gether when Nixon was one o
Kuharichs assistants with tn
Chicago Cardinals.
J Kuharich left the Cardinal
when the front Office there aske,
HIM to fire Nixon and severs
/. other assistants, and his ap
J pointment Of Nixon as backfiel
coach was one of the first move
Kuharich made when he cam
to the Redskins.
