Looks To By MARVEN M055 MONTREAL tCPlSorneone asked Bob Cleroux what he wants to do when he quits box me Go into business came the will reply small business ior your self eh No bill business The exchange in French be cause Cleroux speaks only smattering of English gives an insight into his thinking The Canadian heavyweight champion is square set young ster of 23 is big 205 pounds and 5lfil and thinks big That sort oi thinking also goes for his manager Al Bocbman oi New York who has proclaimed big push for shot at Floyd Pattersons crown Whether Cleroux can go all the way to the top is moot question Only one Canadian born heavyweight ever did it Thai was Tommy Burns born Noah Brusso in Hanover Ont the titlcholder from 1906 to 1908 Clernux meanwhile provides Canada with headliner color guy of international class AS POWER As lighter he is crude and unpnlisllcd mauler who makes artistic minded old timers wince But lack of fin esse is balanced by power and an intuitive sense of how to finish off an opponent who is hurt Vith hcavics style doesnt matter says Bachman who handles Cleroux jointly with Bobs dad Youve got to be able to get that big punch in there Thats what counts The high point of four years at pro campaigning for Cleroux came after he defeated George Chtlvalo oi Toronto in Montreal last Aug ii it was the third of three Canadian title fights be tween the pair and the gate was $198000 The decision carried Cleroux to No ranking by the US National Boxing Association and Not Fleischers Ring Magazine Where does he go from here First there is at Dec date in Montreal with Archie Moore the world lightheavy champ From there Bachman in the non LAFONTAINE right relays instructions in French from manager Al Baehman Clerouxs record in 31 pro lights is 28 winsZS oi them knockouts with two defeats and draw But the string is not as impressive as it sounds It took recent wins over Roy Harris and Alex Miteff to wipe out much of the scepticism about him that lingered from the early part of his career his first in boots or so From that start Bachman nursed him along selecting the opposition with extra care Bob piled up list of knockouts But the victims were what the trade cllalilubly reiers to as nabndies soft touches such as Cornelius Brown Sam Hughes Miguel Alvarez and Mickey The Bull Carter Asked about it some time ago Bachman snapped What do care what they say Im bringing Bob up the right way Picking the shots for classic style of fight manager talks about title shot in vein that excludes virtually every other course SPORTS TYPE By STEVE JONESCU Sports Editor TORONTO OUR HOME TOWN Had the tables been turned in the Eastern Foot ball Conference this year not so many of us in Bar rle including myself would be so disgusted Say for instance that it was Hamilton that went into the second game of the final series with an 18 point lead Say it was Ottawa that defeated the Ti Cats in the final game by 482 count You wouldnt have felt so badly Reasons You dont go to Hamilton as often as you go to Toronto You dont know Hamilton as well as you know Tor onto This also means that while so many of you wont admit it youre Toronto fans all the way Because of this it was with disgust rather than disappointment that fans viewed the Hamilton over Toronto mashing This feeling was due partly to the fact that no one not even the most staunch Argo naut rooters could really believe the score of the first game It was aISO partly due to the fact that all season the Scullers had given their club little cause for fly ing the Grey Cup pennants Hadnt Argonauts play ed like yoyos all season They werent expected to wintwo big ones in succession They didnt let their fans down either But there was that slight glitter ofhope going into the final game That little bit of sunlight soon brought on one whale of storm Argo fans here or in Toronto wont take it too lightly if one assistant coach Knobby Wirkowski is dismissed Knobby was favorite as signalcaller there some years ago Its been written that both Wirkowski and Steve Sucic may not be around next year So while youre telling your friends that youre not an Argo or Toronto fan hide the tears That way you might fool em JUST NOTESL One of the rinks that will be seeking the Barrie Curling Club Coltsv honors playr ed at Georgetown on the weekend and took first prize in its draw

fine lle can develop it not we find out soon enough and no one gets hurt HAS NO JAB Cleronx is boiling nonstyl ist He plods ahead in semi crollcll gloves high to protect his face with his elbows in front of his midriff He makes little pretence at jabbing but tries to step in ent trainer and Clcrouxs tutor Clerouxs fights because Bob knows little English and New Yorker uncllman knows no French close to hook with both hands He takEsa punch well and does not out easily Whitey Blmstein the emin for the last year or so has not sought to alter the boys moves in any drastic fashion But Bimstein has improved Clerouxs defence and added passable left hand and the up percut to the youngsters attack skills in which he was sorely deficient before Skips Charlie Knight and Paddy Miles have the best
