are that the theatre gimmick will j

Young Floyd Patterson iwa ?

boxing rules, but he doesn't
generally have to go Shat far,
snyway Last week, Patterson
wasted little time in putting
away Tommy Harrison on a
technic#! knoekout in th-ir
bout at Brooklyn's Eastern
Park arena. The exact time
was 1:29 of the first round
The fact that Patterson w< - r, h
ed 169 pounds for ihe fight r -.v
lest ir his career, is evidence , *
the former Olympic champion
may soon grow into the light
weight division. When and if he
does, he will be a big threat to
fighters in that divirton
He is s clever, highly promis

perience, can go places, per ha ns

championship. This writer be

SCRIBE
This rfngslder fee's compel! d
to say a few words of praise to
his predecessor and former co
rtnijsider, Lux Virgil Overbea,
originator and former editor of
this column. As was reported ear
lier, "other duties” forcer him to
give up his ringside assignment
But as hi leaves, somethin*
must be said of the wf in
terest and devotion which he
attached to his duties during
his years of service with AN'
P.
This fine scribe was not only s
congenial companion and ardent
worker, but he never hesitated to
give bis all in order to satisfy
his reading public. Or, many oc
casions he went far out of his
way to gather news items for his
column, and in addition to be
ing a hardworking and hard hit
ting reporter, lie made it a ipoini
to befriend all he boxing meet 's
in and around Chicago. He know
(he fighters too, not only as a
writer, but a? a practic'd friend
Joe Louis. Sugar Ray Robinson,
Kid Gaviian Chuck Davey and
scores of others felt the torch
of Luix’s invigorating personali
ty.
But it was in the press 'box
that he enjoyed his greatest
popularity. Small in stature, he
was commonly referred to by h's
follow scribes as "tee little fel
low" and the title fit? for he al
ways maintained a down-to-earth
attitude that made him easily
approachable to all.
Yes, the "little fellow” will
be greatiy mi seed at ringside,
but particularly to this ffeigsider
who must continue where tie left
