some: top-notch attractions within the next year. And the IBC will do it the way it sees fit—to make money. Why

not? They're in business.

“right” fighters are selected. The Hoosier Boxing Club did a com-

’ mendable job trying to lift In-

dignapolis out of the boxing doldrums by staging the Kid Gavilan-Fritzie Pruden fight, but Pruden turned out to be badly outclassed. - That's something promoters often can’t forsee. Gavilan’s finesse against Gil Turner in Philadelphia showed a noticeable “difference” between the Kid's two fights. Gavilan fought a rugged puncher of 21 who is still a year or 18 months away from the welterweight title. 2 ” ® GAVILAN was too smart and

experienced for the fist-flailing Turner. Gavilan balted Turner into coming , after him and

hooks to the head and body.

A Gavilan-Turner rematch would be pointless. The bout probably wouldn't draw half the 39,000 fans that jammed Municipal Stadium in Philly. The edge is off as far as appeal is concerned.

How about Chuck Davey? Right now, Davey doesn’t appear to be in Gavilan’s class. And Turner is too rugged—and fast—for the college clouter. 8 5 # : DAVEY, a dancer who would have to keep moving against Gavilan, has the southpaw style that Gavilan would relish, Davey wants to vacation at least a month. Why not?

olis’ James Cousins in Akron two {months ago, butchered Davey in {the 9th and 10th rounds. And it's stretching the imagination to think Davey could go 15 rounds with Gavilan’s counterhooking. And Davey wouldn't fight Turner because there's too much chance the English prof from Michigan State would learn some lessons you can’t get out of books. Ditto against Billy Graham, another strong welter contender. As a result, an undefeated Davey would draw eventually with Gavilan.

a & » ® PHILLY Promoter Herman Taylor wants another Ray Robin-Son-Gayial fight. It would draw, but, despi Gavilan’s improvement and Sugar Ray’s age (31), a third bout between the two as a middleweight championship fight would be no different from the first two—a Robinson victory.

U. S. May

By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer

HELSINKI, July 18 — Despite the return of Japan and Germany and the debut of Russia, a survey of all U. S. teams preparing for competition in the Olympics disclosed today American athletes are favored to win 38 first place medals

—exactly the same number as in 1948.

Competitors carrying the Stars and Stripes are expected ot drop two gold awards in track, three in swimming and one each in rowing, equestrain and canbeing. But they anticipate making up that lost ground by picking up four in boxing, two in gymnastics and one each in wrestling and shooting. .

* The over-all gold standard for the United States team was set at: Track, 10 first places; swimming, 9; “boxing and weight-lifting, each 4; wrestling and gymnastics, each 3; shooting, 2, and 1 each for basketball and rowing.

That would give the United States - team championships in track, boxing, basketball, weightlifting, wrestling, shooting; swimming and yachting—and 38 of a possible 147 first places.

BARRING a sensational upset, no American was adjudged capable of winning in canoeing, cycling, equestrian, fencing, water polo, or the modern pentathon.

The United States already has been eliminated from the soccer competition and does not compete in Greco-Roman wrestling or field hockey. The survey indicated the following probable U. 8. winners:

TRACK AND FIELD: 200 Meters, Andy Stanfield; 800 meters, Mal Whitfield; broad jump, George Brown; high jump, Walt Davis; pole vault, Bob Richards; shot put, Jim Fuchs; 110-meter hurdles, Harrison Dillard; 400meter hurdles, Charley Moore; decathlon, Bob Mathias, and the 400-meter relay. None of the U. 8. women was expected to score a first-place triumph.
