Charles, Oma
Bout Tonight;
Here's Dope
NEW YORK. Jan. 12—i/PI—Heavy
weight champion Ezzard Charles, j
as trim and sharp as a razor, plans
to ruin playboy Lee Oma's Cin- ,
derella ambitions well before the
gong sounds for round fifteen in
their title bout tonight in Madison
Square Garden.
“If Jimmy Braddock was able to
do it and if Joe Walcott was able to
come close, then maybe I can do it,"
is the way the 34-year-old Oma
sized tn the situation.
But i looks like a case of “too
little and too late” for the clowning
Buffalo challenger. The coldly effi
cient champion, risking his prize
bauble for the sixth time, should
chop down Lee somewhere between
the eighth and 12th rounds.
The oddsmakers rate the improv
ing champion a 1 to 5 choice to win
and a 5 to 9 favorite to halt Oma
within the 15-round limit. A light
flurry of betting in a very quiet
wagering mart dropped the price,
down from 1 to 5 on the decision
and 1 to 2 on the knockout.
Despite the light betting, in
terest in the scrap has picked up
considerably and choice ringside
seats are selling at a premium.
Charles, who has won his last
21 fights, 14 of them by knockouts,
appeared to be in the best shape
of his life when he ended his train
ing yesterday.

TROTTERS
PLAY FAST
(AGE GAME
Nine hundred basketball fans,
estimate made by Juneau Volunteer
Fire Department boys, jammed the
High School gym last night to wit
ness the famed Harlem Globetrot
ters tangle with the Juneau All
Star basketball players and the
visitors walked off the floor, as was
expected, by a score of 56 to 34.
From the time the players went
on the floor in the first practice,
men, women, boys and girls and
kids enjoyed one of the best sports
evenings in months.
The Globetrotters are some cage
players and the local boys gave them
a good run during the four quar
ters.
The razzle dazzle tricks of the
visitors were varied and the com
edy plays during the game, the
deft handling of the ball, made it
a great night for the crowd.
In off-side play, there was a base
ball game, also a short football game
in which Duke Cumberland drop
kicked the basket for the goal. At
time! the question was ball, where
is the ball, and suddenly it would
appear from unexpected sources
and get into play again.
Jim Vuille, one of the referees,
was given the rolled pants initia
tion for calling a certain play for
the locals.
One of the plays of the evening
was when Jack Pasquan failed to
make several baskets in succession.
He was finally lifted on the should
ers of several of the Globetrotters,
carried under the basket, and
dropped the ball through the hoop.
Buie, the one armed Globetrotter,
displayed remarkable skill in per
fect ball handling, controlling it on
passing, catching and shooting.
During the first half intermission
Ted Bourne and Bob Anderson put
on a table tennis stunt that was
marvelous. Bourne’s slow motion
takeoff was a rib tickler and drew
”1 think you’ll like
Schlitz best,too”
PEOPLE naturally expect Schlitz to taste better
than other beers. And Schlitz doesn’t disappoint
then?
The taste of Schlitz is so dis
tinctive , and so satisfying to so
many people, that Schlitz is
the largest selling beer in the
i world.
