The Sports Front
With Smoky
Bertram Cooke with Cathedral
High and Nolan Davis with Lin
coln High are making a grand
showing on the football field.
Also noticed good work from Fel
lows with the Omaha South 11,
in the clash with Lincoln High.
In the South West Conference I
notice that Billy Nicks’ Prairie
View Panthers have a wealth of
man power and when the down
staters find the right combination
they are going to deal somebody
plenty of misery. Look for some
surprises when the Panthers re
turn to the grid war in their loop
Nov. 9 against Texas college on
Blackshear field.
Langston, with her percentage
football, will get the maximum
out of her eleven which is just
ordinary on the ground but dan
gerous in the air lanes.
Mumford’s Southern Cat’s won’t
be caught napping again this
year and when these lads are hot,
Elmer they’re almost immune to
asbestos gloves.
As for Wiley, their future op
ponents can well begin assist
ing aged women across streets
and availing themselves of every
opportunity to do good turns for
those deserving. The cats have
yet to hit their stride this season.
When Gaither Fisher, Tom Up
church, Marion Jones, and Johns
Tankersley round into playing
form the ’46 edition of Pop Long’s
11 will be a more potent outfit
than the 1945 sectional and na
tional champs . . . And mere
wishful thinking ain’t stopping
’em.
Joe Shows Good Sportsmanship
In Losing Court Battle
CHICAGO (ANP) — Joe Louis
smilingly raised the hand of Atty
Bindley C. Cyrus over his head
last week in superior court here
to signify victory in a law suit
that cost the world heavyweight
boxing champion $2,000.
Cyrus contended for the bal
ance of a $10,500 fee for a divorce
suit filed in 1941, but later drop
ped, by Mrs. Marva Louis, whom
he charged paid him only $2,500
at that time. After the court
heard both sides of the argument
Joe was ordered to pay Cyrus
$2,000 of the $8,000 balance.
Smiling, he took Cyrus’ hand
and held it high to indicate “the
winnah,” which marks the first
defeat for the champion since
1936. Louis was coached and
seconded by Atty. William H.
Temple while Atty. Sidney P.
Brown was in Cyrus’ corner.
Joe revealed that he plans to
leave next month for a series of
boxing exhibitions in Hawaii and
does not expect to defend his
title before next June. He denied
rumors of a possible reconcilia
tion between him* and Marva by
saying she is “doing well in busi
ness out in California and she’s
happy.”
Of Cabbages and Kings
NEW YORK (ANP)—Joe Walcott
and Elmer Ray, while not rulers
of any fistic realm, are very much
in the public discussion these
days. It was ever this way when
two deadly hitters step in against
each other from opposite ring
corners. Ray, allegedly fighting
under the Jack Dempsy banner
is figured to whip Jersey Joe
Walcott, proud father of six hun
gry mouths in addition to “all
the neighborhood kids,” black &
white, of his township, Merchant
ville, N. J.
