Sports—Coast to Coast
Boxing's outstanding personality of the past decade, and most
certainly one of its greatest champions of all time, Joe Louis, suc
cessfully defended his title for the twenty-fourth time against Jer
sey Joe Walcott last Friday night at Madison Square Gardens in
New York. The champ, a 10-1 pre-bout favorite, was seen as , a KO
victor at least by the sixth round but it was a surprised crowd and a
more surprised Louis when Jersey Joe floored the champion for a
count of two in the first round and again in the fourth round for a
seven count.
Jersey Joe knew all the moves and tricks; displaying a stiff jab
and a battering right, he caught Louis off-guard numerous times.
Much to the public's surprise the fight lasted the full distance, 15
rounds. Most spectators and Walcott, too, thought the fight to be his
but the judges decided differently. The referee picked Walcott but the
two judges selected Louis, which caused much booing from the fans.
Jersey Joe's manager immediately protested the decision and
the New York Boxing Commission will hold a hearing to settle the
widely-disputed decision. A rematch of the two is planned at Yankee
Stadium next June.
Over in the other part of New York, in Brooklyn, the
Dodgers signed Leo "The Lip" Durocher to pilot them during
the '4B season. The stormy Durocher, who was suspended from
the diamond last year by Commissioner A. B. Chandler for
"conduct detrimental to baseball," smiled happily as Branch
Rickey, Dodger boss, renewed his contract for one year. Burt
Shotton, the pro-tern pilot who stepped in last year to lead the
Dodgers to the National League pennant, received a post as su
pervisor of the farm system managers.
The Pessimist
Moving down south to Dallas, we find Coach Matty Bell of
Southern Methodist in a rather glum mood. Bell declared that there
wasn't much use of playing Penn State—that is, from a standpoint
of it being a contest. "Oh, we'll go ahead and play since we signed
a contract and need the money," said Bell, "but it sure looks bad
for my boys out there on the field."
Meanwhile, here at State, spirits ran high, as Coach Bob Hig
gins was quoted as saying that he would lick SMU; that he had the
best line and best team he had ever produced; that on his 40-man
squad every man was a real player.
On the collegiate gridiron Notre Dame placed claim to the
mythical national title by trouncing an unbeaten Southern Cali
fornia eleven to the tune of 38-7. Playing before 104,953 fans,
the Fighting Irish exploded for four touchdowns in the second
half to maul the Trojans for their ninth straight victory and
their first perfect season since 1930.
The Pay for Play Game
In pro-football circles the Pittsburgh Steelers climbed back into
first place of the Eastern Division by copping a 17-7 victory over
the Boston Yanks on "Cherundolo Day." Chuck Cherundolo, former
Penn State star, was honored in a pre-game ceremony before 31,398
at Forbes Field. In the other part of the State the Philadelphia
Eagles were humbled 45-21 by a smashing Chicago Cardinal outfit.
The Chicago Rams behind Bob Waterfield upset the vaunted Chi
cago Bears 17-14. The Cardinal victory coupled with the Bear defeat
caused a deadlock for first place honors in the Western Division.
Next Sunday's finale between these two teams will determine the
Western title winner.
