KUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Monday, Dec. 10, 1962 Page 5B FernandeZ'Qriffith Feud Unsettled LAS VEGAS, Nev. (-The private war of Emile Griffith, the world welterweight cham pion, and Jorge Fernandez of Argentina, has now endured nearly three years and 29 rounds of combat. And it still isn't really settled. Officially, Griffith has whipped Fernandez three times. The latest was the ninth round technical knock out Saturday night. The first two, in 1960, were fairly controversial. The latest was an epic in ring rhubarbs. Griffith won it on a punch to the lower groin. It was unintentional but a foul, according to ref eree Harry Krause. Fernandez fell, clutching himself. The referee said it was a glancing punch. But just where it finally landed was The Sports Wire . . . Oop! Scorekeepers Make Mistake So Game Lost From AP Reports For want of score-keeping accuracy, the game was lost. That's the contention of Coach Jim Phelan of Mount St. Mary's College of Maryland, defeated 84-82 Saturday by Hampden-Sydney College. Scorekeepers for both sides apparently forgot to write down a basket scored by John Carroll of Mount St. Mary's in the second half. The shot dropped in the basket at the same moment a foul was called. Both scorers wrote down the foul and the successful foul shot which followed, but forgot Carrell's two-point field goal. Phelan learned of the omitted two-pointer from a team statistician after the game was over. He says the scorers, when reminded of Carroll's basket also remembered it. But it's too late now. The rule book says scoring errors must be corrected immediately. Scoring Spree Gordon Harris, 6-foot,10-inch center for the Tenino, Wash., team, broke the Washington high school basketball scoring record Saturday night with a 64-point output. Harris connected on 27 of 34 field goal attempts and hit 10 of 11 free throws to surpass the old record of 61. The final score? Tenino beat Rainier, 79-42. Who Wants More Money? . . . When a man bites a dog, it's news. And it's also news when a man turns down a pay. raise. But that's exactly the case with Frank Broylcs, football coach at Arkansas, whose team won nine games and still has to play Mississippi in the Sugar Bowl. Broyles says he declined the offered raise in order to give the money to his assistant coaches. "I wanted them to have a nice raise," he said. Flying is for Footballs Miami (Fla.) quarterback and passing star George Mira is air-minded where football is concerned, but not for him self. He became air sick on a flight from Miami to New York. "It just don't like to fly," he said. "I'd rather stay on the ground." He Stayed Out of School . . . Dennis Weyrauch had completed three years at Iowa State College as a physical education major. But despite a track and football scholarship, the young man felt he lacked the necessary funds to complete his studies. So, this year, he decided to stay home in California and work. ' After working as an assistant recreation director at two San Pedro playgrounds, Weyrauch took a new job last week. Thursday, his third day on the new job, he lost his left foot in a conveyor accident at Los Angeles harbor. Credit Where It's Due . . . Lou Michaels kicked four field goals Sunday for the Pittsburgh Stcclcrs in a 26-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles and thereby set a seasonal National Football League field goal record. Tonight at 10:30 p.m. KVAL-TV (Channel 13) will present a public service feature "The Carmen-Smith Story" The story is, of course, obout the devel opment of Eugene's Carmen-Smith Hydro electric Plant on the upper McKenzie River. The film shows the action of early plan ning, logging to clear the project site, early earth moving and construction, construction progress during 1962 ond major features of the project. Norration will be by Byron Price, Superintendent-Secretory of EWEB, and Keith Gebers, News Director of KVAL-TV. Eugene Water & Electric Board open to wide speculation to day. Griffith said it wound up in the stomach. Fernandez claimed otherwise. What followed in a matter of 5 to 15 minutes was pure pandemonium. The crowd on hand and a national television audience were equally con fused and astounded as the moments swept by. The Fernandez corner peo ple swarmed through the ropes. Their fallen warrior was prone and writhing on the canvas, apparently in ex cruciating pain. Griffith retired to a neutral corner and finally to his own, where his handlers were peer ing at the spectacle on the floor which was Fernandez. Abruptly, the Fernandez men deployed strength and one faction raced to the ropes to register violent objections Your municipally owned utility with chairman Jim Deskin of the Nevada Athletic Commis sion. Deskin already was quite busy thumbing through the latest edition of the Nevada boxing rules. His research was not aided by the scream ing Fernandez people, nor by the sudden onrush of a Grif fith manager, Gil Clancy. Sheriff's deputies swarmed into the ring, too, but they couldn't quickly decide whom to separate or throw out. At one stage, while Deskin and the referee having diffi culty rereading the rules be cause he couldn't find his spectacles were pouring over the book, Fernandez lay un attended, unnoticed and still wriggling in apparent agony in the middle of the ring. The television cameras whirred on and Don Dunphy. oracle of the boxing airwaves, His fourth one, field goal, a 29-yarder, was his 24th of the season, one more than the record 23 kicked by Cleve land's Lou Groza in 1953. The 26-year-old former Kentucky star gives part of the credit to coach Buddy Parker's secretary, Judy Mis, whom he has been dating. "She has kept count of my field goals and I knew when I tried the third one against the Eagles it would tie Groza, and, of course, realized the fourth would break it." Leo the Lion . . . Leo Nomcllini, the big tackle for the San Francisco 49crs, is the National Football League's new "Iron Man." The 38-year-old former Minnesota star started his 159lh consecutive NFL game Sunday a record. Nomellini has played all of his 13 seasons with the 49crs since he first stepped onto an NFL field in New York on a September day in 1950. After Sunday's game, someone asked if this is his last season. "Why ask me that," Leo said with a grin, "when now I've got new wheels to get me to the practice field?" It was a reference to the new 1963 Convertible given to him by the 49er management in recognition of his new record.

All the action the yelling, shouting and rule book -consulting was far across the ring from Dunphy. It was a long time before order was restored and the scene was finally quiet today. But here are some answers for the curious: Nevada boxing rules state that a fighter stricken on a low blow cannot win on the foul, and a fighter, if hit low unintentionally, must contin ue after having received a reasonable length of time to recuperate. Paradoxically, a fighter can, win a match on a foul, if ac cidentally delivered, which was how Griffith won this one. The champion was ahead on two of the officials' scoring cards and even on another through eight rounds. McAYEALS AND CARRY SAVES YOU DRESSES (PLAIN) COATS and Women's) CLEANED ONLY 10 SJ39 LBS.

Griffith, still seething over what ho called an unfair claim of foul, also was back in New York. Clancy and his associate, Howard Albert, said Emile has a non-title fight coming up in Tokyo in February. They will decide later whether Griffith will meet Fernandez again. But they indicated that Luis Rodriguez might get the next title chance. The technical knockout was only the second in 82 fights for Fernandez. Curiously, the other one occurred under identical circumstances in 1955. Isaac Logart delivered a punch to the midsection and Fernandez was counted out. He claimed it was a low blow foul.
