TRADE SUP FOR (GRIP NOW! TTnmiE SffiWIKDIE 123 S. RIVERSIDE PHONE 2-6314 Slade Purse Held After Fight Farce . New York J(U.R) Chairman Bob Christenberry of the New York State Athletic Commission declared Saturday, "Jimmy Slade not only gave a pathetic per formance but he went down without being hit in the eighth round" of Friday night's fiasco with1 light heavyweight Floyd Patterson. Slade's performance was so poor during the eight-round farce at Madison Square Garden that Christenberry ordered the New York heavyweight's purse of about $5,370 held up until he makes an official explanation Monday. The strangely sluggish and fragile Slade went to the canvas five times before losing a near shutout decision to 19-year-old Patterson of Brooklyn, fifth- ranking light heavy contender. The first four knockdowns were caused by punches but the fifth resulted from an "invisible" blow in the opinion of some observers, including this writer. During the lamentable presen tation, the 3,325 fans voiced their derision with boos, catcalls and the good old "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" song. Fortun ately the bout was limited to eight rounds because of Patter son's youth. One must be 20 to fight 10 rounds in New York. Slade, the New York state heavyweight champion who had pared down to the light heavy' weight limit of 175 pounds, ac cording to the contract, said, "I aon i Know wnat was wrong with me. I just couldn't get go ing. No. I'm not thinking of retiring." . , Hill Holds Race Lead Mexico City (U.R) Phil Hill of Santa Monica, Calif., clung to a slender 39-second lead in the Pan American road race Satur day after a breakneck duel with Oaxaca, Mexico (U.R) Ray Elliott of Portland, driving a Dodge, finished in sixth place in the first lap of the small stock car class of the Pan American Road Race Friday.

Hill, speeding at more than 100 miles an hour through a nar row path in a massed crowd of 50,000 spectators here, wrested first place back from Italy's "Driving Madman" in a hair breath finish. Both of the pace-setting race drivers stretched their lead to more than 30 minmtes over the dwindling field of sports and stock cars as wrecks and me chanical failures again took their toll in the five-day, 1,903-mile dash to the Texas border. Hans Hammennich of Switzer land, Carroll Shelby, Dallas, Tex., Indianapolis champion Bill Vukovich of Fresno, Calif., and Carlos Palacios of Guatemala all reportedly suffered minor injur ies in accidents that knocked them out of the race.

Los Angeles i (U.R) The na tion's top-ranking UCLA Bruins explored for four touchdowns in the final period Saturday to de feat University of .Southern Cal ifornia, 34 to 0, and captured their second straight Pacific Coast conference championship. Playing before the nation's top football crowd of the season 102,548 fans jammed into Me morial Coliseum UCLA had to get as hot as the unofficial field temperature of 110 degrees in the final period to run up their one-sided score after being held to a single touchdown for the periods. 1 Bruins Explode But when the Bruins did ex plode they racked up three touchdowns in six minutes to dumbfound the huge crowd which had seen Southern California put on a brilliant defensive exhibi tion even if it was unable to move through the powerful UC LA line. Although ineligible to go to the Rose Bowl, UCLA demon strated it deserved its top-ranking in the United Press Coaches' poll with its great defense and ability to catch fire when given the slightest break. Primo Villanueva, closing' out his career, was involved in three of the five touchdowns as he passed to two of them and made a key run that helped set up an other. -Great Defense But it was -UCLA's great de fensive team bulwarked by all American candidates tackle Jack Ellena and guard Jim Sals- bury that would not break de spite Southern California's val iant efforts, and brought on the debacle. - And statistically, five inter ceptions returned for 165 yards by UCLA were the key plays rather than their runs from scrimmage in breaking the backs of the Trojans. That mark set a new Pacific Coast conference record for interceptions returned in a single game. Southern California's wing back Lindon Crow was the Tro jans', steadiest player on both of fense and defense, while in the line Orlando Ferrante, end Leon Clarke and tackle Ed Fouch were largely responsible for the defense UCLA could hardly dent for three periods. m NEY'S m INSULATED BOOT J l .
