By Jack Cuddy
VP Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Feb. 18 - (UP)
—.Nat Rogers, the “fall guy” for
Mike Jacobs, was in his glory
last night. Like an elated iad'on
a surf board, he rode the waves
of praise and back-slapping from
the treacherous fight mob, con-
verted at full strength for the
annual boxing writers’ dinner.
Rogers, a middle-sized, bespec-
tacled chap with thinning black
hair, was the undercover toast
of the beak-busting fraternity
which had gathered to pay tri-
bute to Corp. Barney Ross.
Even the boxing writers greet-
ed Rogers with unpreedented
respect. And the managers, who
had “talent?” to sell, clapped
him on the shoulders and went
all out with salutations like
this:
“H’ya Nat. How’s da missus?
! How’s da tenthly?”
-Along I9th Street—gladiators’
■ - j Gulch — the “missus” and the
“famhl.v" usually are so far in
the background that the nonde-
script inhabitants rarely know
whether one has a wife or kids.
Only when one apparently rises
far above the pugilistic pack is
enough attention paid to deter-
mine if one has a “ball and
chain” and a “litter”. Inquir-
! ies about lhe welfare of the
welfare of the aforesaid are
proof positive that the person
back-slapped lias attained a sta-
tus of importance.
Rogers, match-maker for
Mike Jacobs’ 20lli Century
club, definitely lias risen to
that stintiim. He i> recogniz-
ed as being “up there” for 3
major reasons: (I) All of
the Garden shows during
the em-rent indoor season

The current appreciation of
Rogers’ match-making ability is
amazing, indeed, because it is
the policy of the 20th Century
Club to credit Mike Jacobs when
a match pleases the fans and
draw - a big gate, and to Hame
the match-maker when the tout
‘vfttelis” or fails to attract the
customers. Moreover, the mat-
ch-maker is responsible for the
entire preliminary card at each
show. He must, bring together

foretaste of the stiff and pro-
bably costly fighting ahead be-
fore of Axis driven out of
isia.
By driving the Americans
into the hills towards the
Algerian border, Rommel
has widened the field of his
operations, giving him great-
er maneuverability and ex-
tending the system of roads
which is a valuable asset to
his mechanized forces.
Tt is not certain that the Ger-
mans will press their advantage
and attempt to push through the
American positions. For one
thing,' the narrow, trail-like roads
are unsuitable for tank warfare.
Fof another, the heavy forces
used in this operation may be
needed to support the Afrika
Korps when it comes up the
coast frfom the Mareth Line.
| Tiie retiring Afrika Korps is
now behind tiie line and the
advancing British Eighth army
has reached Medenine, its focal
point Whether Rommel will
elect to make much of a stand
along the Mareth line is proble-
matical.
The strength of the line is not
known. It was supposed lo have
been dismantled by the Italians
after the fall of France, but the
Germans may have succeeded in
building it up and moving in
artillery.
However, Gen. B. L. Montgom-
ery, commanding the Eighth ar-
my has given assurance that it
can be cracked. The massing of
the Britisl at Medenine indi-
cates an early frontal assault,
and there alsq probably will bo
a flanking move around the
soul hern end of the line.
