Doxsie's playful splash into Eastern Iowa sports reporting

Don Doxsie, Gazette sportswriter from 1978, known for his unflappable nature and tall presence, began a 16 part weekly series in 1979 trying out varied sports with seasoned athletes. His first piece featured fencing with Doug Dobbs, followed by batting practice with the Kernels Giants and bouts with karate champion David Batchelder and Cedar Rapids pool aficionado Doug Hale. He also challenged tennis star Micki Schillig, noting his own awkward, self deprecating reflections as the score finished 6-0.
