Six Entries From EEAA
Top Efforts Seen

SAN FRANCISCO Next stop
Bakersfield, where the perform
ances in the 72nd annual Nation
al AAU track-and-field champion
ships Friday and Saturday nights
may be as hot as the inevitable
.100-degree weather.
At nearby Berkeley, the sta
tisticians are recording 10 new
NCAA records; at Stanford, prep
arations are going full blast for
the Olympic Trials finals July 1
2; at San Jose, coach Bud Winter
is hoping his ace sprinter, Bob
Poynter, will be ready to chal
lenge twin-winner Charlie Tid
well of Kansas, for a duel at Stan
ford. Poynter will have to beat
ex-teammate Ray Norton and a
host of other winged-foot speed
sters at Bakersfield, though. .
While Coach Bill Bowcrman
prepares Dyrol Burleson and
George Larson for the 1,500
meters, Jerry Stubblcfield for the
discus and Jerry Close for the
broad jump at Stanford, he and
Bob Ncwland will have six mem
bers of the Oregon Emerald A.A.
ready for Bakersfield Jim
Grelle and Jose Luna in the 1,500,
Bill Dellinger in the .5,000, Otis
Davis in the 400, Ted Abram in
the 800, and Jerry Tarr in the
high hurdles.
In Eugene, Bowerman said Del-
linger "will not run all out in the
AAU." While his first aim in the
meet is to qualify, Bowerman ex
plained, his second aim is to con
tinue his training program.
Grelle will be faced with
tougher chore, Bowerman said.
Several top entries fill the 1500-
meter field.
Both runners were pronounced
in good shape by the Webfoot
coach.
As for Davis, Bowerman fig
ures "Otis will have a real tough
iob." The collegians are going to
have the upper hand against the
older quarter milers, Bowerman
said.
"And it's a good thing."
Bowerman noted that Ameri
cans have slipped in the 440 and
new blood is needed in this
event.
Tarr, Bowerman feels, "should
qualify" in the high hurdles at
Bakersfield. Abram could make it
in the 800-meters.
Luna, on his way home to Mex
ico, will be preparing for a bid
to make the Mexican Olympic
team. "
Coach Larry Snyder of Ohio
Slate, and his Olympic assistants
Winter. George Eastmont of Man
rattan and Ralph Higgins of
Ohio State already pleased
with what they witnessed at
Berkeley will watch with equal
care at Bakersfield the showing
of the some 550 athletes from
athletic clubs, smaller colleges
ffi and university freshmen.

Ingo's Future
Behind Him
Say Writers
STOCKHOLM Wl Bertil Jans
son, sports editor of the leading
Stockholm afternoon paper Ex
presses said Tuesday in a com
mentary to Monday night's world
title fight between Ingemar Jo
hansson and Floyd Patterson that
Ingo has his future behind him.
"I think this was Ingemar Jo
hansson's last boxing match. If
he himself does not make this
decision when he gets clear in
his head again I would advise
him to do it.
"What happened to Ingemar
. i last night was such a serious
j thing, that any boxer in his po
sition should put the gloves on
, the shelf.
: "Ingemar has, according to my
, : opinion, his future behind him,"
; Jansson concluded.
Carl Adam Nycop, Expressens
chief editor, agreed and wrote
. .1 that the story about world cham
?! pion Ingemar Jonansson is fin
ished.
"Ingemar as a boxer could not
catch up with Floyd Patterson at
his peak form. What we saw at
the Polo Grounds was no less
than a massacre an outboxing
where the. defending champion
was clobbered down. A down
clubbing which was not casual
but the result of a methodic and
solid building up for the match."
Other Swedish papers did not
comment but gave a straight cov
erage of the match.
Most of Johansson's country
men, confident he would retain
his world heavyweight boxing
crown, went to bed without wait
ing up to hear the radio broad
cast. It was 3:30 a.m. Swedish
time when the bout began.
In the early hours as the
Swedes began arising, and the
newspapers screamed black head
lines, they were stunned. They
read that Floyd Patterson had
unloaded a left hook that flat
tened their champion in the fifth
round.
I can't understand what hap
pened to Ingo," said one restau
rant proprietor. "All credit to
Patterson. He proved he is a
fine fighter. I only hope Ingo
will get another chance."
In Goteborg, Johansson s home
town, newspapers said they be
gan receiving calls about an hour
after the fight ended. The call
ers were openly critical of the
dethroned native son.
This will finally put an end
to the disgusting ballyhoo around
that playboy champion, Ing," said
one citizen over the telephone
talking to a Goteborg sports edi
tor. "That's how it always goes,
the editor sighed. "If Ingo had
won, he would have been great.
You can expect a rash of critical
comments about him and every
one concerned with him now. The
loser can't expect to get a break.
The same happened to Patterson
last year when Ingo won.'
Perhaps the Goteborg odds had
something to do with the reac
tion. , Johansson was favored, 15
to 1, with few takers.

The solemn-faced, 25-year-old
New Yorker became the first

"I think it was the hardest

elated Patterson. "For the first

I think the public finally will ac

"I told Ingemar he positively
will get a third shot. I'll like it
soon. In 90 days, if possible. I'm

"I'm going to think it over,"

FIGHT'S OVER Heavyweight champion Floyd Patter
son smiles broadly as he looks down on the unconscious
form of Ingemar Johansson after he regained the title
from Johansson in this fifth round knockout at Polo
Grounds in New York Monday night. A small trickle of
blood runs down Johansson's face as referee Arthur
Mercante reaches to remove mouthpiece from Johans
son's mouth.
Swede Wants
Title Rematch
NEW YORK OH Ingemar Jo
hansson, shorn of his world
heavyweight crown by Floyd Pat
terson Monday night, said Tues
day he would like to fight his
conqueror again for the title "the
sooner the better."
The dimpled Swede looked re
freshed after what he called a
good night's sleep. The only vis
ible mark on him following his
fifth round knockout was a slight
ly puffed eye.
"Patterson was fresher and
stronger this time," Johansson
said. "He caught me with a good
punch and that was that.
"Maybe next time it will be
different."
The stricken ex-champion did
not speak as confidently or as
cockily as in the past but there
was no mistaking the fact that he
looked forward eagerly to a third
encounter with the only man who
has even beaten him in 24 fights.
Johansson, pole-axed by two
pulverizing left hooks in the fatal
fifth, was out for nearly 10 min
tes after the second knockdown.
He didn't move a muscle as ref
eree Arthur Mercante counted 10.

he was able to leave for his
dressing room.
It might have been different
had the powerful Viking been
able to follow up his best punch
of the night in the second round.
He nailed Floyd high on the head
early in the round.
Patterson was stunned but he
was able to retreat and Ingo
didn't get in the followup right.
It was the only round Ingo got
from the offieials.
Patterson fought differently
this time. He upset Johansson's
pattern by using the Swede's own
piercing weapon the left jab.
Floyd lanced repeatedly and ef
fectively with the jab. He opened
a cut under Ingo's left eye in the
first round. He raised a lump
under the same eye in the next
round.
I Feel I'm a Real Champion;
I Was Careless, Overconfident
days. I will be a fighting cham
pion this time. I will fight early
and often."
So spoke Floyd Patterson fol
lowing his spectacular fifth
round knockout of Ingemar Jo
hansson Monday night, a victory
that made him the first man in
boxing history to regain the
heavyweight championship of the
world.
This was a new Patterson, far
different from the mumbling
young man of a year ago who,
after his stunning defeat at the
hands of the Swedish challenger,
let his manager, Cus D'Amato,
do all the talking.
"IN CHAMP AGAIN"
D'Amato is unlicensed in New
York and was unable to sit in
Patterson's corner for what was
undoubtedly Patterson's greatest
fight.
"For the first time since I won
the title in 1956," the 25-ycar-old
Patterson said, "I feel 1m a real
champion. I think the public
finally will accept me. At least,
I hope so.
"It was worth losing the title
for this," he said happily. "This
is easily the most gratifying mo
ment of my life. I never for a
moment thought of losing, but to
win it this way U s just perfect
I can't tell you how happy I am
1 in the champ again. A real
champ this time. Do you know
what that means?
The only person who might
have really known was sitting
still stunned, groggy, and unbe
lieving, not 50 feet away, in
the
loser's dressing room.
I was careless, mumbled
Johansson. "I was overconfident,
Something like Patterson was
our first fight."

In the fifth round he sent Jo
hannsson to the ropes. The first
leaping left hook thudded against
Ingo's jaw and dropped him. The
champ got up on one knee and
took the count of nine. Patterson
tore after him with a vengeance,
battering him with both hands.
For a few moments. Johansson
escaped. Then came the crushing
final left hook.
For this second fight alone,
Patterson's purse may amount to
$763,000. Ingo will be consoled
by a purse of close to $636,000.
Promoter Bill Fugazy of Fea
ture Sports, Inc., estimated the
crowd at 40.000 to 45,000 and the
gate receipts at around $800,000.
For the network radio rights,
closed circuit television, movies
and other extras, several million
dollars more may be added.
The good-looking Swede looked
like a beaten fighter. His face
showed the pounding he had tak
en for five rounds before a long,
lethal left hook knocked hiin flat
on his back at 1:51 of the fifth
round. It took nearly 10 minutes
to revive him
Johansson at first cither re
fused or just couldn't talk to re
porters. Later he sent word that
he just wasn't up to it.
FIRST RING LOSS
"He's shocked," said Edwin
Ahlquist, manager of the stricken
Swede. "He'd like to talk to you
tomorrow. This is the first time
in his life he's been knocked out."
(It was also the first time Jo
hansson had ever been beaten.)
Later, as he left the dressing
room, with his mother, sister,
fiancee and manager for a desti
nation unknown, he was asked
when he thought he would be
ready for a rematch.
Ingemar stared blankly for a
moment, then smiling sadly, he
said slowly:
"I'm going to think it over."
Earlier, Johansson's fiancee,
pretty Birgit Lundgren, was
asked whether her boy
might retire.
FIANCE FLARES
"That is his decision," she
swered. "He will have to do
lot of thinking."
The only time she flared
was when someone asked
Ingo's peculiar training methods
might have been partially .-
sponsible for his defeat.
I see nothing wrong with
them," she snapped. "He trained
just as hard for this fight as
for
in the last one."

Irving Kahn, president of ths

He said the contracts call for
a return bout within 120 days.
Patterson's manager, Cus D'

bout would go elsewhere. He had
his license revoked in New York
last November and couldn't work
in Floyd's corner Monday night
although he was al the ringside.
D'Amato claims he can apply
for a license in New York but in
the past he has said he won't do
it.
"We'll go where I can get the
most money for Floyd," he said.
"That's a manager's job. I'll tell
you one thing, Cus D'Amato will
be in Floyd Patterson's corner
the next time he fights."

crestfallen member of the fam
ily. Mrs. Johansson had been wait
ing for her son in the dressing
room. When he entered, still
somewhat unsteady on his feet,
she rushed into his arms, tears
streaming down her cheeks.
"It's all right, Ingemar," she
whispered chokingly. "It's all
right."
A bystander didn't have the
heart to ask Ingo how it felt to
be hit by what Patterson had de
scribed as "the hardest punch
I ever hit anyone."
'It had to be," Floyd explain
ed. "I put everything behind it
and I weighed more than I ever
did for any other fight."
PUNCH HURT
Patterson, at 190, weighed
eight pounds more than he did in
the first fight. The extra pound
age didn't seem to affect his
speed. If anything, he was faster
than ever.
