| JQ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Pridey, July 5, 1963 | 44 YEARS AGO Jess Willard, Now 81, Oldest Living Champ LOS ANGELES (AP)--Jess| Willard, the old time heavy- weight boxing champion of the world, sat in darkened silence watching an old movie. Presently the oldest living ex- champion broke the stillness, observing almost naively: "There he goes . . . I don't see how I could stand up under those blows." Willard: for the first time in many years was viewing the film of the fight in which a young Jack Dempsey smashed him into submission in three ter- rible, bloody rounds. The place was Toledo, Ohio; date, July 4, 1919. Each year since that long ago, sweltering afternoon in Toledo sports essayists love to hark back to the date of the fight. STILL MARVEL They never cease to marvel at the tigerish ferocity of Demp- sey, the bloody battering taken by Jess. Seldom is it pointed out that Dempsey was a hungry young man of but 24, Willard a rather complacent 37, and stunned al- most as soon as the action started by Dempsey's tornado- like attack. Forgotten, too, is the fact that despite the damage in- flicted by Dempsey in the first round, the seven times Willard was crushed to the canvas, the side of his face virtually caved in, Willard gave a good account of himself in the second and third rounds. Rough Riders' Bill Sowalski Calls It Quits OTTAWA (CP)--Bill Sowalski made % official Thursday that he is retiring from Canadian football. The top cornerbacker and Ca- madian end made his position clear after reading reports that the Ottawa Rough Riders ex- pected him to play this year. "T've had nine years of pro bail," Sowalski said, "and that's enough. Ili be 32 in a month ae Some have said Willard quit. To this day he denies this. He simply was incapable of getting up from the stool for the fourth round. Today, age 81, mentally and physically alert, living comfort- ably with his one and only wife, Hattie, Jess certainly has no apologies for his ring career. He does offer an interesting statis- tic, albeit confessing he "never really liked to fight," "TI was 28 when I had my first fight, I was 33 when I won the title and I was 43 when I had my last fight," says this six- foot-seven giant from the Kan- sas farmlands. Willard does feel strongly, and so does a tight little group of friends, about the shadow cast over his entire career by one fight and one man, Jack Johnson, Willard flattened Johnson in a ring in the Havana, Cuba, race track April 5, 1915, in the 26th round of a match scheduled for 45, es Johnson claimed latet he took a dive. His proof was a lone still picture taken which shows John- son ostensibly shading his eyes from the sun, Jess candidly and apparently logically contends: "We were in the ring 26 rounds, one hour and 44 min- utes. The temperature was about 115 degrees. "If he was going to lie down I wish he had done it sooner." SUSPECTS GLOVES LOADED Willard still expresses suspi- cion that Dempsey's gloves were "loaded" with plaster of paris at Toledo. But he is not as insistent on the allegation as he used to be, Dempsey has said Jess has carried this suspicion so long "the probably believes it," For the record: Jess Willard had 36 bouts. He scored 20 knockouts, won four decisions, had one draw, five no-decision contests, lost three decisions, lost once on a foul and was stopped twice -- by Dempsey and, in his last ring appear- ance, by Angentina's Luis Angel Firpo. The Willards live quietly and in good neighborly fashion in the La Crescenta Hills overlooking jthe Pasadena - Los Angeles |scene. | Jess, still a kindly, giant of a |man, has one sideline. He looks after the flowers which sur- round the cosy, tastefully fur- nished cottage. LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP)-- Sonny Liston is convinced he is the greatest heavyweight in the world today. But he is also convinced Floyd Patterson is second best. Liston defends his world heavyweight title against Pat- terson, the former champion, in a rematch July 22 at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. He won the title by stopping Floyd in the first' round last September at Chicago. The champion took Wednes- day off from training but as the moment of truth' ap- proaches, a discerning note of sobriety has set in. Liston no longer makes ran- dom quotes about how he is going to flatten Patterson quicker than he did last fall. and I know the coaches are "Sure, I'd like to repeat SONNY LISTON GIVING PATTERSON FULL MARKS real quick like I did in Chi- cago," Sonny said. "But that don't mean I figure to go in there and have it all my own way, I think I'm the greatest heavyweight in the world, but let me tell you this, and I mean it: "There ain't nobody else in the world who can lick Floyd Patterson, which makes him the No. 2 man. But I haven't forgotten that he was the No. 2 man when he went against Ingemar Johansson and won the title back. "Fun is fun, but I guess I get a kick out of shooting a lot of wisecracks at the news- paper guys, but you don't write off a fighter like Pat- terson. He is the only man who has won the heavyweight title twice." Woking for young players." TIGHT LINES Anglers Have Choice Spinning Reel Types By KEN ROBERTS REELS "Let's first look at both types of -- reels, spin-cast and spinning. In recent years spin- @st reels have outstripped spinning in popularity. Each reel however has definite points ® be considered before pur- chase. Let's look them over well before deciding. SPIN CAST This type of reel works on the same principle as the stan- dard spinning reel. That is, the | remains stationary while line spirals from it. Where it differs from standard spin- Ming is that it has a cap over the spool, cutting the line spiral before leaving the reel. This Ist fact enables such a reel to be adapted to a casting rod However, for improved re- sults, a spin cast rod is a must. Guides found on a spin cast rod are midway in size Between casting rods and stan- dard spinning rods. The reason fer this is the fact that, while cap over the spool of the spin cast reel cuts down the spiral, it does not eliminate it. Thus, guides should gradually taper to choke the spiral. se reels are excellent for DARK HORSE ENTRY ? | }season, the West Plant was not -Imates made the odd error, but West Plant looms as the "dark horse entry" in the an- nual UAW Picnic Softball Tour. nament, following their crush. ing 18-0 triumph over Handy Andy's in an elimination game, last night at Alexandra Park, Not competing as a unit, in the UAW League schedule this figured to be much of a threai scot, thelr Port Persy "lim lenzies, s port" stood Handy Andy's on their pgp ven a geo ---- ound ormance, in whic!

STANDARD SPINNING Open-faced reels were the first reels used in spinning. The main feature is the fact that the spool is exposed. When cast, this arrangement allows the line to flow from the feel to the guides at an even rate, the guides then cutting the Spiral gradually. The gradual taper in spiral throughout the length of the rod reduces fric- tion and increases distance. Contrary to the spin cast reel, the standard spinning reel is mounted under the rod, this adds to the balance of the outfit and is in a most comfortable position. Operation of this reel is a bit more complicated, how- ever, after being mastered it poses no problems.
