The See-Saw Tilts Back!
Off-and-on in Shelton's sports history
boxing has oscillated between dispatch and
doldrum. Right now the sweep is swing-
ing to the action end of the arc, a fact to be
noted this Saturday night when a fight card
returns to the scene as one of the features
of Forest Festival entertainment.
There have been Forest Festival boxing
cards in the past, a few, none for several
years, but never with a background like
this one. Charity is the ultimate object of
the idea, talent and energy to which Arlen
Cuzick is bending his spare time and spend-
ing hard-earned personal funds the past
three months or more.
In Lincoln gym Saturday night, Cuzick
offers sports fans of this community a
dozen to fifteen boxing matches in which
most of the nearly 20 Mason County young
men and boys to whom he has been im-
parting his own considorable skills and,
knowledge of the ring will battle mitt op.
ponents from Chehalis, Auburn, Port An.
geles and Port Townsend.
Before proceeding further, let's meet
Arlen Cuzick. After leaving Shelton high
school in 1959, Arian moved to eastern
Washington and began at 19 a boxing ca-
reer covering seven years and 107 fights,
both amateur and pro. He was never de-
feated. His last fight, in 1966, was a two-
round knockout of the Inland Empire Gold-
en Gloves middleweight champion. Most
of these battles were in eastern Washing-
ton. He was a middleweight. He retired
permanently when his wife put the kibosh
on his plan to challenge Don Fulmer, the ex-
middleweight world champion. "I watch-
ecl Fulmer and Nine Benvenuti on TV in
their title bout last year and got so disgust-
ed with what I saw I figured I could beat
him," Cuziek commented. "But the wife
knocked that idea out of my lfead."
But boxing wasn't knocked out of Cu-
zick's life that easy. He talked to some of
the fellows he works with at Simpson's
venr plant, where he drives a jitney, and
gradually gathered together a group inter-
ested in boxing. Today he has a "stable"
of 18, including eight school kids. They've
been absorbing ring knowledge under Cu-
zick's tutoring and competing since March
1.5 on boxing cards at Port Angeles, Port
Townsend, Clallam Bay, Chehalie, Auburn
and once here in Shelton. Last Saturday
night the Cuzick stable won five of eight
bouts at Port Townsend. Their Shelton
card, unfortunately, ran into stiff competi-
tion from the Shelton Invitational Track
Meet and other concurrent events, a com-
bination which cost Cuzick $125 out-of-
pocket.
The boxers receive no money for their
efforts but Cuzick sees that each gets a
dinner, travel expenses, and a small trophy
(I Won for the winners, I Tried for the
losers), and necessary equipment. So far
it hasn't happened but he intends to give
anything else left from gate receipts to
charity. He hopes there will be some Sat-
urday night.
Cupzick also has put $300 of personal
funds into a portable 16x16-foot, 4-rope
ring which will be in use for Saturday
night's card in Lincoln gym.
row: Rodger Deyette, Russ Deyette, Chico
(co-coach with Cuzick), Jim Deyette, and
Steve James. In front are some of the
trophies they've collected during the i)rief
period they've beer] campaigning in south-
ern Puget Sound and Olympic Peninsula
rings.
Chico, a Camp Grisdale logger. Chico helps
Cuzick coach the squad. He fights at 177
pounds, Roger at 137, Harold at 130.
The heftiest mittmen are Joe Cooney
(maybe you know him as Ray Johns),
Camp Grisdale, Spud Parker and Wayne
Hathaway, both at Simpson Veneer, who
all fight at 190 pounds. Deyettes abound
in the stable-Rick, 160, a Simpson bush-
eler, Jim, 145, and Russ, 130, both A-1
Reefers, and Rocky, 85-pound junior high
student. Russ Savage, 160, bartender, and
Ken Savage, 105, student; Bob and Russ
Boring, both 75-pound students; and Jamie
Parker, 87, another student; are related
stablemates. Which leaves only Steve
James, 153, another roofer, Red Duggins,
'i25, student, and the littlest warrior of all,
60-pound student David Pernicano.
Not all of the 18 will be on Saturday's
card, but most will. The action starts at
8:00 o'clock (doors open an hour earlier)
with ringside =eats at $2, general av:trnis-
sion $1.50, students 75 cents.
How successful Saturday's card is like-
ly will determine whether Cuzick continues
his efforts to keep boxing as a community
activity. At a jitney driver's wages he
can't afford any more $125 and $300
"baths."

SPORTS SPLINTERS -- Speaking of
boxing, Highclimber football and baseball
coach Ron Ellis recalls working out during
physical education classes with Scott
Frazisr, one of the Northwest's rising
young, pro boxing stars, when both were
students at Western Washington State
College. "He was tremendously fast and
extremely clever with the gloves," Ellis
commnted, "but he didn't seem to be the
brash extrovert they picture him now"
Two distinct eras of boxing during the
Sideliner's sojourn as a Sheltonian bring
un the names of Dick Bostrom and Buster
Bergeson as the local headliners of one of
the periods. While the other was confined
chiefly to high school matches with south-
paw Cecil Campiell, an all-around athlete
who lettered in football, basketball and
track, as the outstanding attraction. Mem-
ory does not recall an opponent who man-
aged to stick the distancethree 2-min-
ute roundsagainst socking Cec. Seems
like Arne Johnsen had a finger in that pie,
as coach and official.
Among the witneses to the annual WSU-
Alumni spring football game last Friday
night in Spokane was Sheltonian Sam Han-
sen, who earned a niche in Cougar grid an-
nals as a lineman on the only Washington
State team ever to play in the Rose Bowl
1931, Alabama 24, Washington State 0.
Accompanied by wife Shirley and daugh-
ter Amy, Sam made one of his rare returns
to the Pullman campus for last weekend's
alumni activities. The Alums lost the grid
action to the undergrads but Sam gained
some solace as the Cougars whipped the
Huskies in Pac-8 baseball play Saturday.
One of the Iong.nseded funations our
community has long lacked schedules its
birth date next Tuesday and I sure hope all
you sports fans park your brogans umder
the table when the Jaycee= stage the first
annual Spring Sports Banquet in the
Mountain View hool. Other ath,
letic squads have had their post.season din-
ners regularly, but the kids who carry on
Randy Lewis did a season's
best of thirteen feet, one inch
in the pole vast at the Climber's
subdistrict meet at South Kitsap
last Thursday and Friday. He
got first in that event, first in
the triple jump, and a third in
the long jump to lead the Clim-
bers as they took fourth overall
at the meet.
The only other first for Shel-
ton, was Dick Shrum, who fin-
ally returned to his old form af-
ter two bad Invitiational days
and went six feet one-fourth inch
in the high jump.
The Climbers will send three
people to the district meet next
Friday and Saturday. Besides
Shrum and Lewis, Jon Johnsen
is running in the 440 yard dash
at district.
Thirteen Climbers had their
best or near-best times or dis-
tances of the season. South Kit-
sap has a fast track, and the
Climbers have not run on it
this year because their meet with
the Wolves for the regular sea-
son was on Loop Field.
Lewis had his best height in
the pole vault, and near bests in
the triple jump and long jump.
Kurt Grubb's previous best time
of 16.6 in the high hurdles was
tied. Joel Zehe got fifth in the
)nile and paced his best time of
the season.
Jon Johnsen ran a 51.6 quarter
mile to get second with his best
time and qualify for district.
Shelton's pair of sophomore 880
men, Todd Looney and Gary
Burger got their best times, Bur-
ger placing sixth anti Looney
seventh. Scott Busack jumped
five feet ten inches for the first
time this year as he combined
with Shrum to give the Climbers
16 team points in the high jump.
Other near bests were Bob
Fitzgerald in the triple jump,
Rocky Nutt in the same event,
John LaMarsh in the 440, and
Gene Purvis in the shot.
John Flower lost second place
by one tenth of a second in the
low hurdles as he posted a sea-
son best time of 21.2.
East Bremerton's mile relay
team ran over four seconds un-
der Shelton's school record set
by this year's Climber team, and
south Kitsap also outran Shelton
for second, the Climbers placing
third. First and second places
only go to the district meet.

Bill Daniels led Climber golf-
ers last Friday when they play-
ed the Central Kitsap Cougars
on the Bayshore Course. Daniels
shot a 78 and carded 30 points,
but thL wasn't enough to beat
his opponent from Central.
The Climbers ended up losing,
140 to 121. Not one of the top
five Climbers could manage to
beat their opponents, and as a
result, they lost. Three of the five
only lost by one point.
Bob Turner, the sophomre Clim-
ber in the number one spot, lost
bY one point as his opponent
shot the same number of strokes,
but blew one hole so that Turn-
er tied him.
Daniels lost by one stroke and
a point. Steve Bostrom lost his
third spot match, 84-77 and 24-31.
Bud Tuson lost by a stroke and
a point. He got the same score
as Bostrum, but his opponent
was not as good. Jack Stentz
finished the lineup for the Clim-
bers in the number five spot and
lost by ten strokes and nine
points.
By losing this match, the elm-
bars lost their chance to go to
the state tournament. One team
is allowed from the Olympic
league into the state meet.
The son of the Climbers' coach,
Mark Tuson, shot a hole-in-one
on number three last Monday
at Bayshore.
The Cougars are expected to
be tough again next year with
many of this year's players
back. Although Mark is only
twelve and will not play for the
Climbers next year, Shelton also
has a good crop of juniors and
a sophomore letterman.

LARSONS LUNGING FOR
19th HOLE LEAGUE LEAD
Look out for the Larsons!
That's the word of warning mak-
ing the rounds of the 19th Hole
Club after the first-week tail-
enders had zoomed into second
place after the third week of
play in the men's golf league
at Bayshore last week.
Only one more point in thier
credit column would have Larry
Larson's Lashers sitting up there
on the throne along with the
Ivan Myers Maulers, who return-
ed to the top seat, after a one-
week descent to second place,
on a stout 15-for-22 success in
last week's competition. Only the
Lashers, with 16-for-22, and Jack
Jeffery's Jolters, with 15-for-20,
had better marks for the week.
The Jolters jumped from 7th to
3rd, just one competitive point
behind the Lashers, who climbed
from 10th to 5th and now to
2nd.
Sufferingest team last week
was Bob Coots' Clouters, who
skidded from first to fourth, al-
though Bob Wolden's Warriors
tobogganed from fourth to eighth.
Only the two tailenders held
their rungs in the general jug-
gling which took place in the
standings.
Individually, a dozen players
kept perfect records over the
first three weeks of play - Bob
Slettedahl, Jim Mc(mb, George
Valley, Fred Stuller, Arn Cheney,
Art Bennett, Mark Fredson. Ray
Rice, Andy Tuson, Duke Collins,
John Luhm, and Clyde Coots.
Most interesting of the indivi-
dual match-ups found Bill Gott
Sr., of the Lashers, shading Bill
Gott Jr., of the Jim Archer Aces,
one-up in a match which went
down to the last putt. Dd .rab-
bed his edge on the 8th hole,
then stood off his progeny with a
split on the 9th.
After three weeks of play, the
league standings show this or-
