The list of new, refreshing

an ore impressive right now
f*han it has been in years. This
A,ew Italian welterweight

Mentioned earlier in this

^third-ranked heavyweight in
-the country, Hurricane Jack*

Dr. Jonas E. Salk, who de

Jimmy Slade and Charlie Nor
kus. Both fights should be
crowd pleasers.
Bobo Olson looked good
whipping Kid Gavilan, and al
though he’s no newcomer, he
should give fight fans plenty
of interesting viewing in the
coming months. Gavilan also
gives fans a few kicks for
their green stuff every time he
fights.
Ezzard Charles is fighting
Rocky Marciano in June.
Rocky is another compartive
newcomer who gives fans
plenty of thrills when he
fights. Rocky should take Ez
zard but we have said for a
long time that Ezzard’s style
will probably bother the
champ im re than that of most
fighters he has faced.
There are some interesting
British and German boxers al
so on the march. All in all.
the boxing fans seems in for
the best era he has seen since
the Dempsey reign, and Jack
didn’t fight very often.
Somehow the middleweight
and heavy divisions have al
ways caught fans’ imagina
tion, and with Olson and Mar
ciano defending champs, these
divisions will lose none of
their luster. Yet there are
good challengers moving up
in almost every weight divi
sion. It looks like the fifties
• might be looked back upon a?
j the golden fifties for the sport.
A new Hammond Spinet or
gan has recently been installed
in the chapel at the Griffin
Memorial Hospital.
The organ was purchased
with an accumulation of small
gifts received by the Sisters
and ear-marked for “chapel
use” over a period of years, in
fact since the Sisters took
over the hospital. It is a source
of much pleasure, for its
beautiful tones can be heard
in all parts of the building.
