MAN OF MUSCLES—A trick knee won't stop Robert Higgins from going after
“the national senior weight-lifting championship in the 132-pound class next week-end
at Chicago.
Robert Higgins Already Holds Junior Crown
By J. E. O'BRIEN OBERT HIGGINS, a man of muscle who can hoist almost on a par with a healthy Otis elevator, will attempt to bring Indianapolis its second national weight-lifting championship next week-end. Mr, Higgins, who is 22 and competes in the 132-pound class, will make his bid at the national A. A. U. senior weight-lifting tour nament at Chicago, and I'm told he stands a good chance to éarry off the crown in his division. He already is the national junior- champion—a title he won with a remarkable bit of heave-ho-ing last week in Texas. There he set a record with a press of 220 pounds, although in private practice Higgins has been known to press 225 pounds. The junior tournament, you should know, is restricted to fellows who never have won a junior or senior title previously, This week's senior competition is open

though he’s not quite so strong in the snatch or the clean-and-jerk.” » ” ™N I STARTED to ask if there was any competition known as the clean-and-press, but held my tongue.
- “However, I pick him to beat Emerick Ishakawa,” Hofmeister resumed. “I think that’s his name. Anyway, he’s been champion for two years gt least. “Higgins is shooting for a place on the national weight-lifting team that will compete in the world meet in Philadelphia in

September. Everybody that places
The national tourney will be played at the Meadowbrook golf course at Minneapolis for six days, beginning July 21. Entries were received from Indianapolis, Kokomo, Anderson and Terre Haute. Among former Indianapolis representatives in national play who are entered are Chester Werner of Pleasant Run, who went to Baltimore in 1039; played at San Francisco in 1937; Ralph Jordan of Sarah Shank, who Chester Baker of Coffin, who was on the 1941 team at Seattle, and Clayton Nichols, who played in 1939 at Cleveland. Five members of last year’s team also are entered. These include Robert Schuman and Lynn R. Lee of Pleasant Run, Russ Rader and Charles Klumpp of Sarah Shank and L. O. Hatfleld of South Grove.

or second at Chicago will make the team. It will be the first time the world meet has been held in this country. “I guess you ought to know, too, that Higgins is doing all this with a trick knee. Injured it playing football as a freshman at Tech. He weighed only about 110 then. That knee is liable to go out on him at any minute. But he doesn't think about that. He wants to be the champion. ~ " s “TOO BAD he's not around so you could see him work. He practices about three times a week. That's routine for a weight-lifter. He does a prone press of 310 pounds on a bench, which is 35 pounds over the old world record. And he can do six full deep-knee bends with 340 pounds on his shoulders. “If he wins, he'll be the second from Indianapolis to take a Senior title. Bud Curtis did it in heavyweight division in 1945 He was a Hofmeister pupil, too. He's now showing off his body beautiful in a wrestling ring.” That completed Mr. Hofmeister’s information. I thanked him, inhaled deeply and threaded my way through the bar bells to the stairway.

Sinatra's Debut as Promoter Is a Dud HOLLYWOOD, June 24 (U. P.).— Crooner Frank Sinatra was a wallflower today after his debut as a fight promoter, It took Sinatra one punch to floor columnist: Lee Mortimer of New York, April 8, at Ciro's night club. It took Jersey Joe Walcott 10 rounds and what Referee Reggie Gilmore agreed were low blows to get a split decision last night over Joey Maxim the white knight of Cleveland.

And it was Ernie Andres again who produced the potent blow, Butch Moran opened the stanza by lining a single to center and moved up on Jimmy Bloodworth's sacrifice.
