BOTH MLV DOWN Middleweight champion Carl "Bobo" Olson, foreground, and
challenger Rocky Castellani both go down during the 11th round of their title fight
Friday night. Olson arose and floored Castellani in the 12th to win a unanimous
decision.
Olson Retains Ring Title
Both Thought j
1 Had Him :
SAN FRANCISCO Wl It wasn't so much when he hit the
canvas but it was a surprise when the other guy came back so
strongly.
That's what middleweight champion Carl "Bobo" Olson said.
And that's what challenger Rocky Castellani said. Both were
talking about Friday night's title fight in the Cow Palace.
"It was more of a slip" when he sat down for a three-count
in the 11th, Olson said after his successful 15-round title de
fense. "Our feet tangled and I got hit at the same time."
"I thought I had him," Rocky said.
Castellani was down for the nine count in the 12th, but In
sisted he could have gotten up at the count of two.
"I thought I had him," said Olson, "but he was too strong."
Catellani's manager, Al Naiman, said Olson is "a great
champion" but is "purely a mechanical fighter who is always
in good condition."
Naiman made some rather vague remarks about bringing
suit against the champion and his manager, Sid Flaherty, to
have the title vacated and given to Castellani because Olson
didn't make the 160-pound limit at the 10 a.m. weigh-in. Olson
needed an extra 50 minutes to get down to the legal limit.
Olson said that Castellani "depended too much on his cor
ner." "Whenever we fought near his side of the ring I could hear
his manager shout 'go ahead, go ahead' and when he spurted
I was expecting it and ready for it."
And Olson just wasn't a-kiddin'.
Castellani's corner was crowded with no less than five han
dlers plus Naiman and an assistant.
Throughout Castellani was conscious of his corner, tossing
inquisitive glances after every flurry.
Olson, who won over welterweight champion Kid Gavilan
in his last title defense, said the Keed "was a much smarter
fighter" than Castellani.
But Castellani was right there to say Olson was the best man
"I have ever fought." He said he hoped for a rematch. Manager
Naiman, a wealthy Cleveland contractor, was quick to say he
would put up a second $125,000 guarantee for such a fight.
Olson's managerial brain, Flaherty, was less enthusiastic,
but he said he would go for the fight for "the same sort of
money." He said plans for the champ were uncertain. He is
meeting with 1BC chief Jim Norris Sunday "to talk a few
things over."

Monongahela Wins
PONY Baseball Title
WASHINGTON, Pa. ATI The
lhird championship effort proved
to be the charm for the "wll'iz
kids" from Monongahela, Pa.,
who carried the PONY League's
natmnn I trnnhv home Saturday
after notching a perfect record
in the leagues World series
here.
The champs made a clean
sweep of their four games in the
double elimination tourney Fri
day by smothering Chicago, 8-2,
with power at the plate and the
four-hit pitching of southpaw
George "Butch" rotors, who fan
ned 14.
Monongahela's quest for the
league title was frustrated last
year when they were eliminated
in the final round by Fairmont,
W. Va. In 1952, they lost their
bid for the Little League World
Series title at Williamsport, Ta.,
with a team which included seven
of their championship starters.

Metro Squad Chosen
Over State Shriners
PORTLAND OPi The heavier
Metropolitan team ruled as a
slight favorite over the State
squad, winner of the last three
Shrine All-Star games, in the 7th
annual charity high school foot
hall contest Saturday night at
Multnomah Stadium.
The game starts at 8:30 p.m.
with a pre-game marching
pageant slated to start at 7:45
p.m.
Because of their beef, the
Metro squad has been given a
slight edge in pre-game predic
tions by local sports writers, al
though Coach Mel Ingram of the
State team said his charges were
in fine physical condition and
were mentally alerted to preserve
their victory string.

Unanimous Nod
Over Castellani
Earns $125,000
SAN FRANCISCO IIH Carl
Bobo" Olson shuffled home to
his wife and four kiddies Satur
day with the world's middle
weight crown still on his balding
head and $125,000 stuffed into his
back pocket.
That's what the relentless Ha
waiian picked up Friday night
for chopping out a unanimous 15-
round decision over Rocky Cas
tellani of Cleveland, Ohio, before
a crowd of 11,873 at the Cow Pal
ace. It marked the second time
that Olson had defended his title
since he defeated Randy Turpin
of Great Britain for the cham
pionship last October.
Castellani got the leavings of
Olson's healthy guarantee 60
per cent of the net gate receipts,
which grossed $121,470 plus an
other 60 per cent of radio and
TV rights. These went for about
$75,000.
The bout bore some overtones
of the Olson-Kid Gavilan meeting
in Chicago last April. The Cuban
Kid asserted that a bruised right
hand thwarted his bid for the
title and Castellani came out of
Friday night's mill claiming a
fractured left thumb.
Rocky said he cracked it in the
second round against Olson's el
bow. Dr. Don Lastretto, state
Athletic Commission physician,
said that the challenger had suf
fered a "chipped fracture of the
left thumb" and called for an X
ray. But this handicap did not ston
the kid from the coal mines of
Luzerne, Pa., from fighting his
kind of a fight back oedallinB
from the pressing Olson and cut
ting loose at times with desper
ate counter punches.
Highlights of the fight were
packed in the 11th and 12th
rounds. As they came out for the
11th Rocky let fly with a right
and before anyone realized it, the
startled champion was sitting on
the seat of his pants. Rocky
tripped over Olson's leg and his
glove touched the canvas, but he
was up immediately.
Bobo scrambled as quickly as
he could to his feet, which re
quired a three-count, and pro
ceeded to give Rocky all he could
handle for the rest of the round.
Bobo claimed later that their
feet got tangled up and he was
caught and hit off balance.
In the 12th Bobo applied a
crusher. A long overhand right
iouncl Rocky s jaw and sent him
crashing to the canvas.
The game Rocky needed and
look a nine-count, and to his
credit, fought out Ihe round like
a wounded tiger. But his hopes
faded from that point on.
The unanimous verdict was
automatic. Referee Ray Flores
called it 89-76 under California's
11 points per round scoring sys
tem. Judge Fred Apostoli had it
85-80 and Judge Jack Downey
scored 87ii-77s. The AP made
it 89 4 -75 '2.
Both fighters weighed 160
pounds and overtones from Fri
day morning's hassle on the
scales continued to echo around
the drafty pavilion where the fight
; was staged.
Al Naiman. Castellani's mana
ger, insisted that Olson lost the
; title on the scales when he fail
;ed to make Ihe weight in his
; first attempt. Naiman added he
Was all for a rematch in San
Francisco offering the champion
: another $125,000.

Geertsen 24 Strokes Behind
Geiberger Tops
Jaycee Golfers
By J. D. KAILER
ALBUQUERQUE, N. M. Allen Geiberger, Santa Barbara, who
took over the lead in the 9th annual International Jaycee golf
tourney Thursday with a 72, managed to retain the lead despite a
77, five over par, Friday. His aggregate 222 is three strokes better
than the 225 by his nearest rival and fellow Californiah, Phil Rod
gers of San Diego, the tourney medalist who also had a 77 Friday.
Gary Geertsen of Eugene, only Orcgonian to qualify, hit the
80's for the third straight time
and posted an 81 Friday for an
aggregate 246, far off the pace,
24 strokes behind the leader.
Hugh Paterson, of Toronto,
Can., slipped into the third posi
tion With a 72-79-75226, while
Mike Kosar of Cuyahoga Falls,
O., Jacky Cupit of Gregton, Tex.,
and Bob Pratt of Las Vegas,
Nev., were tied at 227.
Jack Rule of Waterloo, la., one
of the youngest players in the
tourney and also one of the pre
play favorites, was next with a
228.
Four double - bogeys, Ihe re
sults of pushing two irons and
landing in depressions, ruined
what could have been Geersten's
best round. Gary picked up bird
ies on the long 505-yard No. 7,
plus the 150-yard 11th, where he
missed an ace by six inches.
"My tee game came around in
good style, putting was all right
and my approaches were con
sistent," Geersten said. "But
those double-bogeys got me. Did
n't think out my shots."
Aussies Lead
Cunada Cup
MONTREAL UP) The Austra
lian pair of Peter Thomson and
Kelvin Nagle took the opening
lead Friday as play got under
way in the second annual Can
ada cup golf competition.
The Aussies stormed over the
6,589 yards of the tree-studded
Laval-surle-lac Club course in a
total of 137 strokes to take a
four below par lead over Can
ada.
Thomson, the ever-smiling win
ner of the recent British Open,
posted 35-35-69 while Nagle, his
unknown teammate, had 35-33-68.
Stan Leonard of Vancouver pull
ed Canada into second place
with a 34-32-66, the day's best
round. Jules Huot, host pro, had
40-35-75.
Sam Snead, world's richest
hill billy, couldn't get his irons
to function properly and he used
up 74 strokes while Jim Demaret
putted his way to a two-below
par 70. That gave the U. S
team 144 and put it in a four
way tie for sixth.

HARVIE WARD
Always There
Campbell Faces
Ward in Finals
LONDON, Ontario. (IP) The col
or was gone but the chips were
down Saturday as machine-like
Bill Campbell and Harvie Ward
met for the first time in the third
all-American final of the 50th
annual Canadian Amateur golf
championship.
There were no flashy slacks
and T-shirts, no checkered caps,
no antics. There were two men
who play like big game hunters
tracking adversaries who turn
and strike at the first opening.
Victory would come on some
thing stupendous; defeat in a gal
lant manner.
For Campbell, from Hunting
ton, W. Va., this 36-hole match
of mechanical golf offered the
fulfillment of a desire to win an
international title. Triumph
might well accompany an an
nouncement that he will retire
from tournament competition
For Ward, it meant another
pound of prestige which since
Gene Littlcr's turn to profession
al ranks has elevated him to the
point where his name and game
must be considered seriously in
any attempt to pick the "best
amateur golfer in the United
States.
Billy Jo Patton's game is sen
sational today, so-so tomorrow,
Frank Stranahan likewise blows
hot and cold. Ward, 29, British
Amateur champion in 1952, run
nerup in 1953, Western Amateur
finalist in 1952, NCAA champion
in 1949, North and South cham
pion in 1948, is always there.
ward, now a car salesman in
San Francisco, advanced to the
final with a lopsided 9 and 7 run
