Kiahf. tins tf MtJSf have been the same everywhere Saturday morning. Olson fans were tagging as "ridiculous" claims by Gavilan backers to the effect that the Kid had won a moral victory by going 15 rounds "with one hand." "He'll Hck Bobo any day with two hands. His bolo punch would have stopped Olson, etc. was the claim of those who favored the Kid.

We walked right into a discussion in the Reporter newsroom Saturday morning and of course became involved in the debate. We didn't see Gavilan throw his bolo more than four or five times but it did seem to us that he was using his right quite a bit in the infighting. WE READ somewhere where an actual count by a ringside observer showed that Gavilan threw his right hand at Olson 280 times during the bout. Not all of those landed of course and many of those that did were taps. It seems to us that the acting boxing commissioner for Illinois, Lou Razienda, had the right slant on rt.

Razienda was quoted as saying. watching the fight can't say that the hand was sore because Gavilan appeared not to be using it as much as some people thought he might. Gavilan didn't fight a little boy he met a world's champion. He fought his fight the way he planned and that includes the use of his right and left hands." The Kid said, "Next time I use two hands all the time." THERE ARE many types of after-dinner speakers available for athletic events. There are those who draw crowds, those who are chosen to speak to the athletes and those who may be classed as entertainers.

Personally, we feel that a speaker chosen for a high school event should be picked to address the athletes themselves. Not the par- eats, coaches and fans but the boys who are being honored. Bob Brownson impressed us as that type of speaker when he appeared briefly at the Columbus Jaycees banquet for the Chic Harley All-Ohio team last December, That's why we think that those who attend Thursday's Tornado Club fete will enjoy Brownson's talk. Most of all, however, the real reason for attending any dinner of this type is to pay tribute 'to the honored guests. This is the time for the fans to express their appreciation for the enjoyment they got by watching the Tornadoes put lorth their best efforts in athletics.

Public acclaim and prestige is one of the rewards for any athlete, be he in the amateur or professional ranks. This banquet is part 01 thai public acclaim.

The Pirates, who started football back on its way in the school's athletic program last fall, will field a six- man learn again this year. Coaching clinics seem to be increasing each year.

Cincinnati Tornadoes Look Fair In 1st Drills McKinley Session Is Cancelled By ART CtCCONETTI Daily Reporter Sports Editor "We looked just about as good as we could expect with only three days work on offensive plays," Coach Dutch Furbay stated after Saturday's scrimmage with the Canton Lehman Polar Bears. Coach Jimmy Robinson's crew, winding up its third week of drills, looked considerably better than the Tornadoes defensively but its-offensive work against the Crimson and Gray's experienced performers wasn't too sharp.

The Polar Bears scored once against the. "old hands" on the Tornado squad and added four more against mostly inexperienced returnees from last year's team and a flood of freshmen substitutes as Coach Furbay and his assistants used nearly 40 players in an effort to see what each could do under actual game conditions. COACH FURBAY singled out Jerry (Mountain) Murphy for his outstanding performance in the line both offensively and defensively. Murphy earned some glowing compliments from thp Lehman Deadline for purchasing tickets or the Tornado Club's annual All- Sports banquet is Tuesday at 3 p.m. The ducats, selling for $2.50, may be purchased from any mem- jer of the Tornado Club's Board of Directors, the Chamber of Commerce offices, the Dick.KIar Ath- etic Supply and the Daily Reporter Sports desk.

coaches and players as he crashed nto the Polar Bear backfield time again to break up plays before they started. Veteran quarterback Dave Weinsz was also tagged as one of he top performers for the Tornadoes, both for his offensive show- ng after such a short brush up per- od and for his defensive halfback play as he exhibited sharp pass- defense prowess. Bert Link's work at fullback and us showing at a linebacking post Brought him recognition while Jewey (Mighty Mite) Grafe turned his usual bangup performance with crisp open field tackling and good running. THE TORNADO coaching staff also was pleased with the showing of several other veterans and some of the newcomers on the squad in first real contact work of the Spring drills. The two teams each took the ball or 15 minutes and started from the 20 yardline with.no kickoffs or punting.

Fumbles and intercepted passes were not counted with the offensive team retaining possession until the time-limit was up. Dover moved to the Lehman 25 before being held on tye first series and the Polar Bears reached he Tornadoes' 1-yard stripe before being held on their first try. THE TORNADOES' attack was icld fast in the next offensive try the Bears, thanks to a long pass play, connected for a score midway in their second 15 min- ates. Coach Furbay-, at this point, began experimenting with other Combinations and the Bears went for another score from 15 yards out. The varsity moved back in for Crimsons on offense and again Dover was held by the big Lehman gridders inside the 30.

'The visitors took over and went for three more scores in the final 15 minutes with the Tornado coaches first sending in untested linemen from last year's varsity and then letting the freshmen take over. FURBAY indicated thdt work this week would be back on fundamentals with an intra-squad scrimmage a possibility in the next five days. A scheduled set-to with Canton Canton McKinley Wednesday 'was cancelled because of a time mix- up. The Bulldogs will be on Spring vacation and Coach Wade Watts wanted to slate the drill early in the afternoon. Dover High had its Spring vacation two weeks ago.

The 21-year-old Hawaiian powerhouse has been swimming for 12 years in big league competition and apparently his formula is okay, judging by the Olympic and other titles he has captured. Domer Asks Youths To Stay Off Diamonds Service Director Archie Domer, chairman of the field committee for Dover Little League and PONY League, issued a request today that all of the 'organization's fields not be used from now until the season opens.

"We are trying to get fields ready for the opening day of the season and we'll need all the cooperation of everyone in order to get the job done," Domer said. He added that there is still much to be done in getting the infields of all three diamonds ready besides the work of extending the fences and enclosing the playing fields. Field No. 1 and the G.E. Field will be used for Little League while Field No.

2 will be enlarged to conform to the rules for the PONY League. Domer also requested that the boys refrain from riding their bicycles over the fields since the ground is soft now and any ruts made in the outfield will leave an impression that may make fielding difficult or cause injuries when the season starts. Konno added the National AAU indoor 220 and 400 yard freestyle crowns to his collection during the three-day meet which ended in Yale's pool Saturday night. With it went the title of the meet's oustanding swimmer, a medal and almost certain choice for this country's team in the Pan-American games to be held next March in Mexico.
