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

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.
Elliott was the only driver
from the Pacific Northwest to
place among the top 10 in that
class.
More than a score of drivers
dropped out. They included
Robert Christie of Grants Pass,
Ore., who was forced to quit
when his Italian Ferrari de
veloped engine trouble.
Daredevil Umberto Maglioli over
Mexico's most treacherous moun
tain highway.
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.

Orioles Said
Not Outfoxed
, Washington (U.R) At least
one baseball critic Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb conceded Saturday
that the Baltimore Orioles were
n't outfoxed by the New York
Yankees in baseball's biggest
player deal. ,- ..; v , : "
Cobb, one of the game's great
est players and a member of
the Hall of Fame, said that the
winner of the multi-player trade
probably will be decided eventu
ally by the lesser players thrown
into the deal which up to Satur
day involved nine men.
The Yankees "procured pitch
ers Bob Turley and Don Larsen
and shortstop Billy Hunter in
exchange for pitchers Harry
Byrd -and Jim McDonald, cat
chers Gus Triandos and Hal
Smith, shortstop Willie Miranda
and outfielder Gene ,, Woodling.

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.
