He has just been crowned heavy- weight champion of the world. Rocky rose from the canvas, took a brutal battering, but kept com- ing in for more, working to land some powerful blows and take the title. For brute courage and strength and recuperative powers, Rocky must rank among the greats in the boxing ring. He is the first man to become heavyweight champion with a perfect pro record, not a single defeat. He now has won 43 straight fights, 38 by knockouts. Right now he is at the pinnacle of the boxing world. He is the uew champion, and actually has no logical challengers. Who will he fight Rex Layne, Roland La Starza, Ezzard Charles, Clarence Henry? Or are there some others? Maybe he will be forced to finish off Jersey Joe Walcott once more. That should not be as difficult a job the sec- ond time as it was the first Because Marciano is champion and probably will have some rest or will not face too much com- petition at the moment, he should now take stock of himself mPIKIMIWtANP | CHILDREN 1*APPARIL < Vjfff f J ELICTRICALAPPIIANqf | nAnowAUYKHowiiB^II;UIIIIJrI Ct]M ph. s^eseiXiiitiiSJSSSSJ
