Paired off in 16 combinations, they battled at match play in the first 36-hole round of th $7,500 international four ball event.

The prospects of the change from the almost invariable stroke play drew a varied reaction. "This kind of tournament gives the golfers an equal chance," insisted Bob Hamilton, the Professional Golfers Association champion. "In medal play the weather may be good for one golfer and terrible for another. Here they both have the same chance." Little Bon Hogan. the Air Forces lieutenant who is playing in a tournament for the first time in iseven months, had another Uioueht.

Cooper Stops Glamack "Cooper entered the fray at this point and the expert Irving Torgoff, Lennie and Howie Rader, Art Hill-house, Ben Kramer and Glamack, whose onehanded dazzlers had electrified the crowd, was stopped cold.

Cooper reset his defense and did a personal job on Glamack, blanking him the rest of the evening. A hot passing game, sparked by the long shots of Zack Clayton was enough to bring the game to a 13-13 stalemate at the intermission. I. blanked during the final nine minutes of the first half, was able to gain only eight points the last 29 minutes.

Among the victories scored by the Bears since they appeared here was the 50-38 drubbing administered the New York Jewels, one of the best of the independent pro fives. One of the games they have booked for the near future, one of their biggest tests, is with the Trenton Tigers of the American League, Monday night.

March 19, in Philadelphia, when it Ls expected that Tarzan Cooper, coach and manager of the Bears, will have his strongest lineup back together again. Tarran Shows His Greatness One of the toughest contests the Bears have encountered in their if 1 eloKes rhot ar mad of sturdy, long lasting material and training camp where the champion is working back into condition after three and a half years in the Navy. Acceptance Unexpected Acceptance of Robinson as Freddie's first title opponent was unexpected. Boxing men had taken it for granted that Cochrane would avoid the dangerous New York Negro as long as possible. They expected that Red, who entered service a few days after winning the 147-pound title from Fritzie Zivic in July, 1941, would try to cash in on the crown now in a series of bouts with mediocre opponents before risking it against Harlem's dancing-dynamiter.

And Cochrane c-o-u-l-d cash in. He is receiving offers from all sections. Why then is he accepting Robinson? Gilzenberg explained: "In the first place, Freddie promised his buddies in the Navy that he would be a fighting champion when he got out. He's got a whole flock of buddies, because as a specialist, grade he instructed more than 200,000 boys in boxing during his long hitch. That was in addition to other duties.

"In the second place, we have received a large offer to defend against Robinson. A Chicago syndicate, headed by Promoter Jack Kearns. has guaranteed Freddie $100,000 with the privilege of taking 45 per cent of the net gate. They expect the bout to draw at least $250,000. No Return Bout Robinson is being guaranteed $25,000, with no strings attached.

Robinson doesn't have to agree to a return title bout if he beats Freddie. Cochrane and I do not believe in those return-bout contracts. They are the ruination of boxing. Robinson's representative, George Gainsford. accepted the match yesterday." The welter champ may have one cr two non-titie engagements with lesser opposition before the Chicago bout to sharpen him up.

During Freddie's Navy hitch he had four non-title bouts with Garvey Young, Bobbv Britton. Lew Jenkins, and Fritzie Zivic. He beat Britton and Jenkins. Young won a disputed decision, and Zivic beat Freddie decisively after the poorly trained champ "ran out of gas." Zivic scrap at Madison i Sauare Garden on Sept. 10, 1942.

was Cochrane's last ring appear- nee. He came out of the Navy twoi months ago weighing 152 pounds; but three weeks of roughing it here amn have Dared him down to I the 147-pound limit. He will train for at least another month before tackling even a non-titie opponent. This long siege of training will be nothing new for tne redhead. He trained four and a half months for his title fight with Zivic in 1941.

Five postponements caused the long conditioning campaign. He entered the Newark ring that July night, sharp as a razor, and turned in one of the biggest upsets in welterweight history. He is confident that his busy left hook will provide another upset against Robinson at Chicago in June although he'll be 30 years old then. N. Y.
