Question and clips on Rickard Cafego and Galento in 1939
A reader query on Tex Rickard and the 1940 Rose Bowl yields answers: Rickard died January 6, 1929 in Miami Beach, Florida. Cafego had a net gain of one yard on seven carries in the 1940 Rose Bowl. Galento floored Joe Louis in the third round in their 1939 bout, a defining moment of the year. The piece also urges baseball reforms and a sport bureau to aid minor leagues with standards and local ownership incentives.
