By C. B. THOMAS
I was the referee when Jack Petersen lost his unluckiest fight

The dynamic Jack had his "hoodoo man" all ready to throw the towel in. And then I saw one despairing, lucky punch change the whole fight.
Jack Petersen had punching power, a tigerish ferocity in attack, and abiding courage. All this was backed by the good fortune of learning boxing craft and the art of superb conditioning in his father's school of physical culture and the boxing club attached to it.

Miss Lee at 20 the only truly glamorous star marching under the Rank bannerwent all out to prove them wrong.
