RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer An exciting young fighter named Paul Jorgenson made Houston in to one of the top boxing centers of the country. The Port Arthur youth showed till. Next he took on Dave Charn- ley of England. This fight drew only $3?,000 because it’s difficult to build up a fight when a for eigner is in it, especially one that the people know little about. This year to date there have That same night they took care of an overflow crowd in Houston by putting a closed TV show at another auditorium. Back in 1955 when Jorgenson was getting Houston into boxing’s big time, he fought a couple of The intramural department sponsored a softball team which journeyed to Austin last Saturday and competed in a tournament against Sam Houston, State, Bay lor and Texas. The Aggies won their game against Texas by a 2-1 score in a contest that went 13 innings but lost to Sam Houston by a 3-1 score, and to Baylor 5-3. Darrell Rqsenow, who had pre viously pitched seven innings against Sam Houston, went the occupies seventh place, Sq. 12 is in the eighth place berth, Co. G-l is in ninth place, and Co. B-2 is number ten. The Class B standings show Sq. 11 out in front with 857 points, Co. A-l in second place, Sq. 12 oc cupying third place, Sq. T in fourth place, Co. G-2 in the fifth place spot, Sq. 10 in sixth place, Sq. 3 in seventh place, Co. F-l occupying the eighth place berth, Co. E-2 in ninth place, and Sq. 6 in spot number ten. enough ability that he landed in the rankings almost immediately and he put on a good show. So the people became interested and the Texas Boxing Enterprise was on the road to the big money. Texas Boxing Enterprise It was in 1955 that Ralph Smith, now the promoter at Dallas, started Texas Boxing Enterprise. It grew by leaps and bounds and atti’acted a skillful manager of fighters like Lou Viscusi to Hous ton. Viscusi developed Roy Harris and Cleveland Williams and he took Joe Brown, the lightweight champion, under his wing. In 1957 a fight between Harris and Willie Pastrano drew $46,- 962.50 and Texas Boxing Enter prise was on its way. It’s amazing what fights have drawn in Houston in the past three years. Eight of the shows grossed $413,876. The all-time high for Texas boxing came recently when Sonny Liston met Roy Harris and $70,200 went into the treasury. Giant View TV closed circuit got interested and has presented two shows. The last one reached 10 cities other than Houston. Some of the places didn’t draw too well but it was only because the people hadn’t become acquainted with it. They’re planning another on June 7 and the advertising from the last one should make this one pay off handsomely. The way they operate it is-like this: a fight is staged at Hous ton that’s piped onto a screen in the other town’s auditorium. It is the main event of the boxing show there. Local bouts are staged as semi-final events. Joe Brown, the little Baton Rouge Negro, has been one of the reasons for the success of boxing in Houston. He couldn’t fight in his native state because of the law forbidding interracial sports but he could fight in Texas and he sure did. First he met Ralph Du- pas and the house was $68,740— the Texas record to that time. Then he fought Kenny Lane and the record was broken when the Iraw was $69,203.50. Both of Ihese title fights were in 1958. In 1959 Brown battled Johnny Busso and $61,175 went into the been two fights. First—and it marked the advent of closed TV— Cleveland Williams got himself knocked out by Liston but $43,- 558.50 flowed in. Then Harris put himself up as a punching bag for Liston and the new record gate showed up. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TOLEDO, Ohio—Billy Golem- biewski, tired of finishing second, has won his first major tenpin title—The American Bowling Con gress Masters Championship. The slim youngster who left Grand Rapids, Mich., four years ago for bigtime bowling in De troit, lost this same crown a year ago in the last game. Golembiewski, 30, was ahead after three games in the crucial match with Ray Bluth of St. Louis last year. He stumbled to 175 in the last line, while Bluth rolled 213, winning the title by an 827- 817 margin. Billy ran second in the most grueling match contest of all last December, when deadly Don Car ter of St. Louis snatched the World’s Invitational Championship away from him in the final round. Billy was at his sharpshooting best Wednesday night, when he met blustery old-pro Steve Nagy for the 1960 Masters trophy. Go lembiewski blasted 181-224-210- bouts that drew $13,963 and $10,- 099.25 respectively. At the time those were considered big stuff because fighting in Texas never had done too well. Even two pre vious world’s championship fights —one at Dallas and one at Fort Worth—hadn’t paid a profit. 259-874 against 755 for the 47- year-old captain of the St. Louis Falstaffs team. Golembiewski earned $2,280, Nagy picked up $1,900. East Texas, Tech Favored To Win Spring Sports Title By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NACOGDOCHES — East Texas State and Lamar Tech are favored to win the Lone Star Conference spring sports championships here Friday and Saturday. East Texas State is a top-heavy favorite to make it six titles in a row in track and field and lead a steady assault on the records. Lamar Tech, winner of the ten nis championship for the past eight years and undefeated in 14 meets this season, is expected to triumph over East Texas and Sul Ross, the only other tennis entrants.
