Rosi Will Train
Here for Title
Bout June 3

Paolo Rosi, the No. 3 con-
tender for Joe Browns light
weight title. will report here a
week from today. May 81, to
finish training for his cham
pionship bout against Brown a
week later.
Rosi and Brown will tangle in
the 15-round title fight June
8 at Uline Arena.
Rosi, an Italian who now
makes New York his home.
and Phil Crisci, his manager,
are coming here to convince
Washington fight followers
that Rosi is better than either
Kenny Lane or Carlos Ortiz. the
fighters ranked ahead Of him
by both the National Boxing
Association and Ring Magazine.
The balding. hard-hitting
Italian is unbeaten in his last
nine fights since losing on q
technical knockout by Baby
Vasquez in Miami in December
of 1856. He's hadaone draw
with Leo Alonzo IN that string
but otherwise won six decisions
and scored two knockouts.
One Of the decisions was over
VaSquez, and he also defeated
Johnny Gonsalves, Ray Por-
tilla, Johnny Busso, Bobby
Scanlon and Flash Elorde. He
knocked out Scanlon in a sec
ond bout and also stopped
Frankie Ryff.
The Scanlon bouts were
among the best Of Rosi's recent
efforts as Scanlon was unde-
feated in 81 fights and was
regarded as one OF the rising
young men OF the lightweight
division, One Of Scanlon's
knockout victims before rum
ming into Rosi was Bud Smith,
the man from whom Brown
won the title.
The Busso win also was a
worthwhile one for Rosi, be-
cause just last November Busso
beat Smith in a non-title bout
in Miami. Later, though, Smith
and Busso tangled with the title
at stake and Smith won.
Rosi and Crisci were in
Washington two days ago to
sign formal papers for the
fight and at that time Crisci
did his best to convince listen
|ers that Rosi was the man to
lift Smiths title.
Smith has been successful in
six title defenses, but he never
has been up against anyone like
Rosi, Crisci maintains.

one we chose to carry out through
the school year.
The Parker Pen Company, James

form and suggested that we write
to the Betz School Bellevue, Me-

We have had a reply from our
new Pen-Pals and have learned
that Bellevue is the oldest town in
Nebraska, with a population of
10000. 1t is located in the center of
| the United States, SO our Pen-Pals
informed us.
Most of our Pen-Pals live at the
Offutt Air Base, Home of Strategic
Air Command Several children
wrote that their fathers were sta
toned abroad for short duration.
One family will be transferred to
Morocco. This Pen-Pal, Gene Gel
este, will correspond with us from
there.
We also learned that the Omaha
Packing Plant and the Omaha
Stockyard are approximately four
teen miles from Bellevue.
Mrs. Julia A. Leonard, teacher of
this fifth grade, wrote in her letter
that she is a native of Pennsylvania.
Last year she taught in Deepen

South CoroIino Shot Putter to Test
New Biceps Muscle in AAU Meet

DR.. Moore found that the
tbiceps muscle was missing from
Dawes right arm az a result OF
the dream-connected calamity.
Surgery was mapped out to
give Dave a connecting muscle
between his lower and upper
arm. A muscle from his left leg
was split, a portion removed
and tied into the arm.
For weeks Coats carried his
arm in a succession Of casts.
Then came painful exercises.
With a foot-long scar on his
throwing arm only recently
healed, Coates may not set any
records. But the Madison
Square Garden crowd should
see a tremendous performance.
Little more than a week ago
he began tossing the iron ball
again. Amazingly. he's been
hitting so feet and more. And
doctors say maximum results
from the surgery can't be ex-
pected until 1860.
Dawes dream is to be on the
Olympic team in 1860. He'll
probably make it. For as his
coach, Weems Baskin, says, Il
don't think I've ever seen Q boy
with more determination than
Dave has"
