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

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.

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

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.

must have done some agoniz
ing too. 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.

Fernandez left for New
York soon after the fight and
was slated to leave today for
Buenos Aires. 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.
