LaMotta Loses
TKO Decision
To NY Negro
By CHARLES DUNKLEY
CHICAGO UP) Sugar Ray
Robinson today became the first
man in ring history to win one
championship and lose another all
in the same battle.
The rythmic New York Negro,
defeated only once in 124 contests,
last night won the world's middle
weight championship by hammer
ing durable Jake LaMotta, 160
pound title holder, to defeat on a
13-round technical knockout be
fore 14,802 frenzied spectators in
the Chicago stadium.
Loses Welter Toga
As his right-gloved fist was
raised in victory, Robinson auto
matically relinquished his welter
weight crown. He was forced to
surrender it under a ruling of the
National Boxing association anil
also by decision of Eddie Eagan,
chairman of the New York State
Athletic commission, which oper
ates independently of the NBA.
Under the terms of last night's
match. Robinson is required to
give I.aMotta a return bout, prob
ably in New York, next June.
However, Truman Gibson, secre
tary of the sponsoring Interna
tional Boxing club, wondered if
LaMotta wanted to face the pros
pect of absorbing another beating
from his conqueror.
LaMotta remained in an unfa
vorable condition for two hours
alter he walked from the ring
untler his own power. He was
immediately administered oxygen
when he reached his. dressing
room. He was completely ex
hauslrd and suffered chills.
Attendance Large
Dr. J. M. Houston of the Il
linois Athletic commission and
Jake's own personal physician, Dr.
Philip Burnorl, New York, re
mained in constant attendance un
til he was able to leave (or his
downtown hotel quarters with his
wile, Vicki.
The attendance gate was $IR0,
619 and the net was $1118,939. The
attendance exceeded expectation
despite television and its esti
mated 30,000,000 viewers. La Mot
la's share of the gate was $2,520
and Robinson received $20,840.
Each fighter also had a TV cut of
$1,500.
LaMotta held the middleweight
championship two days short of
20 months. He won it from the
late Marcel Cerdan of France at
Detroit, June 16, 1949. He suc
cessfully defended it twice. Robin
son had ruled the welterweights
since Dec. 20, 104B.
The rugged LaMotta, never
knocked off his feet in 9S con
tests, retained this dubious honor
in losing to Robinson. The bout
was slopped at 2:04 of the 13th
round.
'Bronx Bull' Helpless
The "Bronx Bull" was battered
into a slate of helplessness which
prompted Referee Frank Siknra
to step between lhe men and order
Robinson to his corner. '
LaMoltn, the only man ever to
defeat Robinson, never fought
more determinedly than he did
last night. For eight rounds he
actually forced the battle. He both

lesounrling body blows and jolt

American Golfers Defy
Ban On Mexican Open
MEXICO CITY UP) Jimmy
Deniaret and seven other
American professional golfers teed
off today in defiance of a PGA
ban against playing in the $7,500
Mexican National open.
The first of Si threesomes started
medal play. Deniaret, of Ojai,
Calif., and Tony Olgui of Mexico,
another favorite, were in the last
group.
Tony Hnlguin, San Antonio-born
golfer of Mexican parentage, is a
favorite by virtue of his victories
in the last two opens. He won the
1949 event when he was 22, after
five years as a pro.

Jake began losing his aggressive
ness and ability to escape from
Robinson's shattering punches. He
turned into little less than a tar
get for the welterweight cham
pion. The bout then began lo move to
its inevitable conclusion.

EUGENE UP) -The Univer
sity of Oregon Webfoots, pretty
generally the choice for the cel
lar at the start of the Northern
division Pacific Coast conference
baskball season, had winged into
first place by a full game today.
Idle Washington held second
place and the erstwhile 'leaders,
Mhe defending Washington Slate
college Cougars, were two games
astern in third place.
It all came about as Oregon
swept the two-game series with
W.S.C, here last night, eking
put a 57-55 decision, principally
through proficiency at the free
throw line.
Win On Free Throws
The Webfoots swished 21 ot of
32 charity tosses through the
twine, which overcame the field
goal count in which the Cougars
outdipped them, 20-18 The Coug
ars bagged 15 free throws out of
24 attempts

High-Scoring Cage Aces
Lead Teams To Victories
By Th. Associated Pre
Two of the better basketball cen
ters in the East gave tlie adding
machines a workout last night.
As usual, the great Sherman
White sparked Long Island uni
versity (19-4) to a 116-78 victory
over weak Fort Monmouth. The
6-7 ace played only 26 minutes
little more than half the game
but scored 50 points, well above
his 26-point-a-game clip.
Only Bill Mlkvy of Temple tops
White among the nation's leading
major college scorers. Mlkvy has
led for several weeks but White's
5o last night might shoot- him
ahead when next week's statistics
are released by the NCAA.

K and M melted a 14-point half
time deficit on some snapshoot
ing by forward Bill Benson to roll
over Yoncalla, 55-44, in an Ump
qua Valley AAU league game at
the Benson gym Wednesday night.
Yoncalla appeared to have
donned the robes of a giant killer
in the first half. The losers got
off to an early 128 quarter lead
and then Dick Strait found a mag
net on the basket to lead bis
team to a healthy 31-17 halftime
lead.
Up to this point, Bill Benson
had made only one field goal. He
decided it was high time and went
to work. Within a matter of min
utes he had paced his squad to
the lead and held them on top,
37-33, at the three quarter mark.
In that torrid last half Benson
made 18 counters for a 20-point
night's work to lead all scorers.
Strait counted up 17 to pace his
