Way out West: Gene Autry and Champion rest up after corralling some baddies. FINE TUNING By ollie crawford Rocky Marciano-Ezzard Charles fight to be seen on theater television. This will be under the Marquee of Queens- berry rules. • Theater TV is like home TV, ex¬ cept that the easy chair costs two bucks, and isn’t easy. • The movie crowd will have trouble getting used to boxing. One veteran movie fan figures Marciano is a good fighter, but he could never beat Mont¬ gomery Clift. The last heavyweight fight this boy saw in the movies was between Wallace Beery and Marie Dressier. • Theater TV has no commercials. but a guy comes out and sings: “How are you fixed for popcorn?” • The theater will use a regular size screen, but Rocky swings in Cinema- Scope. He’s the first heavyweight champion who can defend his title while air conditioning the theater. If the fight were in 3-D, a guy wouldn’t be safe in the first five rows. The referee would insist on working from the balcony. • Rocky can’t hurt you with the punches he aims at you, but he can kill you with the misses. • All he has to do is land one punch, and he’ll be fighting Charles Ezzard. 15
