California Ichools Will Make Bucks (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By JACK CUDDY United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI) You may argue all you want that the breakup of the Pacific Coast Con ference is a black eye for college football, but the big powers of the Far West feel it was cither "bust up" or be driven out of the enter tainment business by the pro Itams and the Dodgers. Out here where fans think nothing of driving a few hundred miles to a sports event, willingly shell out $4 to $5 for a scat, and nave become accustomed to the festive atmosphere of 100.000-seal stadiums, there's little mourning for the demise of the old PCC. The four big California schools UCLA, Southern California, Cal ifornia and Stanford and the University of Washington figure cventuully to wind up making nothing but money as a result of the dissolution of the conference If they had not taken this dras tic step, their football games al most certainly would have wound up as second rate attract ions to the tremendously popular pro Rams and the newly - acquired Dodgers. And say What you will a successful college football team pays the bill for the rest of the entire athletic program, keeps in fluential alumni happy, and gen erally maintains the popularity and the enrollment level of an educational institution. The bickering, recruiting scan dals, FBI checkup practices on certain schools, and the poor gate appeal of conference schools like Idaho, Washington Stale and Oregon made I he breakup neces sary if the big colleges were to maintuin big - time football pro grams. "Sou I hern California football fans arc entitled to see the best teams," says athletic director Jess Hill. "And 100,000 - scat stadiums are . attractive to the best teams.

Alaska (UPI) Like the man always says: "You should have been here last week. Or last month or last year. The fish always seem to be bit ing better when I m not around "This . is kinda disgusting," said Jim Glane, a part-time fisherman. "I been out on that water all day and all I caught was 53 pounds. Last year sometimes I come in with as much as 500 pounds. "Of course, tins year we are getting Gl cents 'a pound for these king salmon. And last year it was only 42 cents. "Luckily, I don t have to depend upon fishing for a livelihood. work for a cannery and have a regular salary guarding fish traps. I just do this fishing in my spare time." (hmmm. Let's see now: 53 pounds at Gl cents a pound in your spare time is a fair hobby I. Fishermen here say that the best part of the fishing season is over for the year. You should have been here in June, said a sporls boat oper ator. "That's when they really were mting. Glane gets his fish any way he can trolling, mooching or "I'll grab them with my hands if I get a chance. Ketchikan Creek runs right through the center of this thriving fishing village and there visitors stand on the bridge and watch hundreds of 20-pound salmon play- in the waters. But, while it looks like a fishermens paradise "no fishing" signs are posted. "These salmon are just stalling around waiting for more fresh water in the stream before head ing up to spawn," said the fish erman. We ve had our driest summer in history and the creeks are low. The fish are waiting for the water to become cooler, then they know it will be safe to go up stream. Slightly fed up with the subject of fishing, Galen offered: Oh, well. The deer hunting season opens Aug. 20. We are al lowed three bucks. And I guess III be doing that for a while. It will be a change from fishing."

Recapping Turley's Patterson Stops Champ Will Defend Title In Europe By JACK CUDDY United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI 1 Heavy weight champion Floyd Patterson, dissatisfied with his gory title knockout over Roy Harris, said today, "I want to get busy now, and so I may defend soon in England." The champion believed he should have disposed of game Harris, from Cut and Shoot, Tex., before the 12th round Monday night, even though the kayo in that session had tagged the blood smeared challenger with his first defeat in 23 bouts. Floyd's victory before an esti mated 17,000 at Wrigley Field was his 15th knockout in his last 16 fights. But he was dissatisfied with his own trip to the canvas the second round and dis pleased because his bleeding op ponent had survived four knock downs. I want to get busy now," said the 23-year-old champion. That s right, agreed manager Cus D'Amato. "And our next de fense may be for promoter Harry Levene in London. We've given him our word we'll fight for him if there's a good European chal lenger. It looks as if there'll be a good one over there soon. Apparently D'Amato was re-. ferring to next month's fight be tween Sweden's unbeaten Inge mar Johansson, European cham pion, and Eddie Machen of San Francisco, second - ranking con tender. D'Amato is reported to believe Johansson will win the fight at Goteborg, Sweden, and be available as challenger. Manager Cus, dissatisfied with the gates Patterson has drawn in his three American' defenses, wants a big one now; and he believes London is the place to get it away from the alleged in fluence of the International Boxing Club. 'I've got to keep busy to keep sharp," said the unmarked cham pion who had given Harris such a battering that his own trainer, Bill Gore, asked referee Mushy Callahan to stop the bout when the action was finished in the 12th round but before the bell could start the 13lh. Callahan waved his arms in mid-ring, signaling the bout was over. He announced it was a knockout" in the 12th round. Under California rules, when a bout is stopped to save a fighter from further punishment it is a kayo not a technical kayo. At that time the 25-year-old challenger was bleeding profusely from the nose and from cuts on his right brow, his right temple, nose bridge and left eyelid. Harris made a brave stand against the champion from Mt. Vernon, N. Y. but he was out gunned. Patterson's right - hand smashes to the body began to weaken him as early as the third round. A right to the chin put Harris down for the count of eight in the seventh. A left right combina tion dropped him for "seven" and a right for "three" in the eighth. Another right to the chin floored him for "nine" in the 12lh. And a smashing left hook sent him reeling across the ring, just, be fore the bell ended action in the 12th. The champion may receive more than his guaranteed $210,000 through his percentage provisos. because a surge of fans to Wrighley Field provided an esti mated gate of $200,000 and early reports from the Telcprompter Corporation indicated theater-TV receipts at 151 theaters in 133 cities would approximate one mil linn dollars. Harris will receive a flat guar anteed $100,000 for his battering. It was Patterson's 34th victory in 35 fights and his 25th knockout. The 6-1 underdog was far be- Miind when the bout was stopped.

Coach Gary Burton said this morning, "frankly we are hurting as far as the defensive line is con cerned and we'll probably have to go with several boys from the offensive backfield who will plug the line on defense." Al Keck, line coacli from Mer rill and Tom Cox, backfield coach, seconded Burton's statement.
