OUR SPECIALTY! PORTRAITS "In The Home" AT YOUR SERVICE DAY OR NIGHT 14 Appointment Coll Now 95 Basilio Regains Crown With Win Over Saxlon evnAPTTCF WV tm frmpn Basilio, apparently as tough and destructive as ever, wore the wel terweight crown again today after annihilating Johnny Saxton "for the sweetest win of my life." "This was the one I -wanted to win more than any other," said the craggy-faced, 29-year-old Ba silio after his technical knockout in 1:31 of the ninth round over the cocky, 26-year-old defending cham pion in War Memorial Auditorium last night. "I beat him in Chicago and got robbed. This was my answer. If he wants to fight me again, I'm willing. I fight for money. I'll fight Ray Robinson too for the middle weight title if Saxton has had enough. I agreed to give Saxton a return fight and he can have it anywhere but in Chicago. Old Decision Rankles Even with his loDsided triumph last night. Carmen still is burning over the unanimous but conlrover- Injuries Strike In PCC Drills By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The crying towel is appearing early on West Coast football fields. But there still are a few coaches who haven't joined in. California's Lynn (Pappy) Wal dorf, a perennial pessimist, played his traditional role Wednesday after his tentative first team took a bad jarring from third string ers. "I'm not so sure they're the first team any more," Waldorf said. The third team, playing offense, punctured the varsity defense sev eral times. He also praised the third squad for its pass protec tion, under which quarterback Joe Comestible completed several ae rials. Stanford's Chuck Taylor, noted for a bold optimism, voiced un happiness over his squad's "men tal mistakes." He added, how ever, that defensive work was good in a rough hour and a half scrimmage. Two Indians Hurt Two more injuries hit the In dians casualty-riddled team. Full back Archie Schmitt twisted an ankle after scoring a 41-yard touchdown up the middle. End Jerry Beatie suffered a cut hand after, intercepting a pass and run ning IS yards to score. At Los Angeles, USC's Coach Jess Hill was faced with a line up change when left half J i m Decker decided to play the last five games of the schedule in- stead of the first five. Two other backs, reserves Bob Isaacson and Fred Pierce, also changed and will play the first five games. All three are seniors who are limited to five successive games under Pacific Coast Conference penal ties against the Trojans for un authorized financial aid to ath letes. UCL'A'8 coaching staff evidenced merriment over a statement Dy Utah Coach Jack Curtice, who called the Bruins ' monsters. UCLA Fullbacks Light What's a monster in Utah?" asked UCLA Asst. Coach Jim Myers. "We've got three full backs, including Barry Billington, our best ball carrier, who weigh 170 pounds each." At Seattle. Washington s Coach Darrell Royal discovered a new scoring threat in a 90-minute scrimmage that produced 10 touchdowns. A second string soph omore, left half Don Millich of Aberdeen, Wash., ran wild scor ing five times, including a 77 yard run and another for 66 yards through the middle. More smiles were in evidence at Pullman as Coach Jim Suth erland put his Washington State Cougars through a rough scrim mage. He voiced warm praise of center Jack Atwood, a transfer from Compton Junior College, and letterman guard Gene Baker for breaking up pass formations ex pected from Stanford Sept. 22. duck swircn rossmi At Eugene, Oregon's Coach Lcn Casanova considered switching left half Hank Loumena to the No. 1 right half spot to replace injured Chuck Osborne. Osborne, senior letterman from Turlock, Calif., faces surgery Thursday for a knee injury. At Corvallis, left half Joe Fran cis of Oregon Mate tired tnree touchdown passes in scrimmage. Injuries forced a slowdown in nractice by Idaho's -already small squad. But Coach Skip Stahlcy ran the Vandals through a de fensive scrimmage at full speed He said injuries permitting, he will call a scrimmage Saturday- Babe Zaharias Honored In Fight- With Cancer GALVESTON, Tex. 11 Golfer Mildred (Babe) Didrikson Zahari as was honored yesterday for fur thering the cause of cancer re search. The presentation was made at John Sealy Hospital, where she is continuing her tight against me disease. Her husband George Zaharias ac cented an engraved scroll presen ted annually by the Public Health Cancer Assn. of America. Doctors reported Mrs. Zaharias was feeling better. She was able to take solid food and was report ed in "fine spirits." We Will Be Open Until 9 P.M. Mondays thru Fridays Until September 29th sial decision which Saxton scored over him in Chicago last March 14 for the title. Gaunt and with his ribs showing through his taunt skin, the 146V pound local pride took charge in the third round with a slashing body and head attack that had the sleek new Yorker moody, reeling and helpless in the ninth round when referee Al Berl halted the massacre. Saxton had not been down, but he was heading for the canvas, so relentless was Basilio's furious assault. Looking perfectly conditioned at 14544, Saxton was only in conten tion for the first two rounds when he surprised the near capacity crowd of 8,546 and countless tele vision viewers by meeting Basilio in midring and exchanging punches. He drew blood from Car men's nose and the fans cheered the unexpected early fireworks jabber. Basilio Batters Champ In the third Basilio started to take his toll of the 7-5 favorite with his strength-sapping lefts and rights to the body and his switch ing jolts to the head. In the fourth, the rout was on. ' Saxton began to bleed from the mouth and near the end of the round, he was stag gered by a long left and right to the jaw. The cool, poised Basilio was in complete command after that. Basilio's share of the record Syracuse gross gate of $134,939 (net $117,067) and the $75,000 radio-TV pot was $37,662. Saxton, collecting 40 per cent to Basilio's 20, earned $75,324. Saturday Marks Wrestlinq End What appears to be the last pro fessional wrestling in the Roseburg Armory will be held Saturday night, and promoter Elton Owen has lined up a rematch for the Pacific Coast junior heavyweight championship. In the bout, it will be Red Bas- tien of Minneapolis challenging the old bad man himself, Kurt Von Poppenheim. It will be speed vs. experience in the tussle, with Von Pop carrying a five-pound weight advantage into the rine. In the semifinal, Ed' Francis of St. Louis and Andre Drapp, Paris. France, will go to it in a one-hour best-of-three encounter. The weekly wrestling promo1 ion has been terminated by the Na tional Guard Armory Board here. the action has started a feud he- tween Owen and the board, with Owen claiming the rent's too high and the board countering that the armory is left dirty. Owen said he plans to move the weekly show to Grants Pass. Ho has other promotions at Eugene, Albany and Salem. Owen said he had tried to rent the community building at tho fairgrounds in Roseburg for the snow, but he was quoted a rental rate of $100 a night with no assur ance that the building would bo available every Saturday night. However, fairgrounds Manager Dick Turlcy said there has been little correspondence between Owen and the fair board. The rea son no commitment can be nride, Turley said, is that the building was constructed for general use of the public. A public function would take precedence over a profit-making promotion in a determining who should be rented the building on any specific night, Turlcy said. lie added that u s probable 'hat Owen could get the building early in the week each week.
