Sciose's Fault After: digesting all the tripe dished. out by the metropolitan sPorts:,:writers concerning the much-debated Soose-O v e r 1 i n middleweight title bout last Fri day, the. only conclusion we can reach is that Billy Soose com mitted the unpardonable sin df receiving the unanimous decision of 'three highly regarded non partisan officials. We didn't have the fortune to witness the fight which saw the first collegiate bpxer ever reach world's championship throne, but the opinions handed down by the experts present emit as much odor a:s the bout itself, which from all accounts• was far from the thrilling match it sounded over the air. • . True, -the two fighters went through fifteen listless rounds but the fault can be contributed more to the...aging. champion than to Soose :who tried to give the 15,000 - fans their money's worth. But one man can't make a fight when he's opposed to a cagy boxer who won't exchange blows and holds at every opportunity. Be it as it may, the former Nittanyman was awarded the de cision 'and the title much to every sport writer's surprise. At least, we haven't read any articles which acknowledged Soose the legitimate king of the middle weights.-. Moss Off Again It is our humble opinion, sup ported by several persons on the campus who should know, that Soose's apparent unpopularity is no fault of his own but that of his - manager, Paul Moss. This dapper townsman ,of the new champion has perfected the art of how riot to g_et.along with peo ple to perfection... Never one of the boxing crowd, which is a closely knit group, he has antagonlYed commissioners, Sports Writers aild the public in general time afteif_time. His lat est faux paus, the 'blast at the Pennsylvania Boxing Commis sion, tops any similar blunders in our recollection. Unless Soose gets a new man ager or Moss can do an about face, the Farrell boxer may find himself in the un-enviable 'posi tion of a champion with no place tb defend his title in. He can't make any fortune just by look ing at his clippings. It's too bad, really, because our Billy could be' one of the most popular champions ever to climb into a ring. '44 Golf.
