Same Stage

By ROBERT MELLACE Times Special Writer

. NEW YORE. March 11.—Dorothy Goos at 14 is a greater gure

skater than was Sonja Henie at the

same stage of development, accord-

ing to Willy Boeck, four-time world champion, European title holder for six years, former world championship Judge and leading authority

and author on the ‘sport. La Henie was champion of .the a wag Miss ‘Henie, responsible for. the ‘boom in figure skating, who started the ‘smiling, blueeyed Miss Goos on her climb to a position where she now is spoken of in the same breath ‘as the queen of the ice. It was in De- . . cember, 1937, that the youngster saw Sonja in her first picture and began talking skating sto her parents, Boeckl is the only one who has watched both ballerinas through _edch period of their skating lives. Boeckl believes Dorothy's gehievements are more remarkgible in that she is skating in events unheard of in Miss Henie’s time as a competitor. . Because the sport has no stop - watch or other criteria, he is reticent. in. comparing the two, but when you ask him what is the most difficult trick on ice for Doro~ hy. he looks askance and shoots

« “What could Joe difficult for ; Barothy Goos?” Dorothy is a little more practical and assures that she has her problems, particularly. with a 5 maneuver known to the trade as a ‘double flip, in which she leaps in the air and pirouettes twice. .. Jive years ago Dorothy ‘Goos’ : father, an electrical . engineer, bought a pair of skates for his ter as a Christmas gift.. Three years later she was national novice and eastern junior champion. Last year she stepped into the national junior race and won going away, finishing her year’s . work by acquiring the national : i pairs title. :

“For 18 years I've been sitting. here in the most popular : professional boxing gymnasium in the world waiting until I could get my hands on a great heavyweight,” Curley said. « “Fihally I've found him.

It's Wonderful!” Saint Thomas, who won the Golden Gloves championship: at Dayton, O., in 1939, has had but two professional fights since he came fo New York. Both resulted . first-round knockouts. His . victims were Tommy . Di Giacco/ and Joe ‘Couccio, men who suffered technical kayoes at Jersey City’s Grotto auditorium. In both instances, Saint Thomas brushed gloves with the opponent at the opening bell and said, “Peace!” Later he rushed over to the vanquished foe and insisted upon an-
