New York (U.R) Dayton's towering Flyers, who ran their unbeaten string to 14 games while top-ranked San Francisco was idle, gained ground in the contention for the No. 1 United Press college basketball rating ' i 3r "V I I LARRY CHENE Bull Montana Foe Chene, Montana Vie on GP Mat Grants Pass Matchmaker Elton Owen has finally signed Bull Montana to meet Leapin' Larry Chene in the main grap ling event this Wednesday at the fairgrounds arena. It was a bloody battered Chene who leaped into the ring last week to save Thor Hagen from further punishment. Sher iff's deputies finally broke up the bitter fight and hustled Montana to the dressing rooms. Chene hurled a challenge at Montana. Bull Montana, the one man wrecking crew from Toledo, clobbered both George Drake and Thor Hagen last week and is rated by the fans as the tough est guy to hit these parts since Leo Wallick. Montana is vicious with a piledriver and the atomic drop. Chene, the Texas TV star, was sensation! in his debut when he dumped Henry Lenz. He is as fast and has color and ability. The meeting will be the first between this pair of natural rivaB and could be a donny- brook. Pedro Godoy, a talented new comer, will be introduced in the . one-hour semi-main. Cal Roberts will attempt a warm reception. Big and rough, Godoy is rated on par with Killer Kameroff. Owen said he foresees a sellout. O Legend May End Yacht Race Today San Diego (U.R) The yacht Legend, out of Los Angeles,, stood a good chance of finishing the winner today going into the clos ing stretch of the 1431-mile San Diego to Acapulco handicap yacht race. The Coast Guard reported the 50-foot Los Angeles Yachting Club sloop, which as a 21-hour- 21-minute handicap allowance, was grouped with John Scripps San Diego ketch Novia del Mar, 30 miles behind the actual lead er, the ket Nam Sang of Ca brillo Beach, Calif. Because of the Legend's favorable position, it appeared the probable handi cap winner of at least the larger boats in Class A competition. The Legend is owned by Charles Ullman. t The Nam Sang, Novia del Mar and Legend were about some 300 miles from the finish, an estimated 30 miles at sea and southwest of Manzanillo. today and Illinois took over third place. North Carolina, upset congue ror of arch rival Norjh Carolina State, made the most important jump in the ratings, to No. 6 from 11th place. The Tar Heels were the only newcomers in this week's top 10 teams chosen by the 35 outstanding coaches who comprise the United Press Rating Board. San Francisco, which has put its 39-game winning streak in storage for two weeks while it takes time out for mid-year ex aminations, was picked No. 1 by 30 coaches the same as last week. However, the West Coast Dons' point total fell off six to 339 and their lead over Dayton dwindled from 49 to 32 points. Three First Ballots Coach Tom Blackburn's Fly ers attracted three first-place votes and an unusually high second-place total of 307 points. By defeating Villanova and Xavier of Ohio last week, Dayton achieved the season's longest winning , streak. The Flyers' next test will be a tough one against lOth-ranked Louisville. San Francisco, which now has led the ratings for eight straight weeks, resumes competition next Saturday night against California. The Dons will set a major college record for con secutive victories if they beat California. Illlinois and Louisville each received one first-place vote in this week's balloting. The Illini (10-1) and Kentucky (10-2) each moved up one notch, while North Carolina State slipped to fifth following its sec ond setback in 15 games. Tem ple, with an 11-0 record, follow ed North Carolina, with Vander bilt, Southern Methodist and Louisville completing the top 10. Temple, one of - the surprise teams of the present season, ad vanced two places from last week, Vanderbilt (13-1) . and SMU (13-2) each slipped two notches, while Louisville (15-1) remained in 10th. Pettit Takes Scoring Lead New York (U.PJ Bob Pettit and Clyde Lovellette swapped the National Basketball associa tion scoring lead today for the 17th time in the last eight weeks, Pettit coming out with first place this time by a margin of 14 points. The 17th exchange of the lead between the two stars resulted from Pettit's 39-point perform ance for St. Louis against Syra cuse on Sunday, while Lovalette was scoring only' 15 for Minne apolis against New York. But Paul Arizin, former scor ing champion from the Philadel phia Warriors, is starting to barge into what has been a two man battle so far this season. Arizin actually has passed Lov ellette on the basis of average points per game to take second place in that category behind Pettit. I Pettit leads both in total points with 942 and average with 23.6. Lovellette is second in total points with 928, third in average with 22.1. Arizin is third in total points with 879, but sec ond in average with 22.5. Lovel lette has played two games more than Pettit, three more than Arizin. LINCOLN.

New' York (U.PJ Trainer Charley Goldman today hailed unbeaten Rory Calhoun of White Plains, N.Y., as a "bright young prospect for the middle weight crown," after directing him to his 17th straight profes sional victory in a sensational TV fight at St. Nicholas arena Monday night. Goldman, trainer of heavy weight champion Rocky Mar ciano, was in Calhoun's corner as the muscular 21-year-old Ne gro was staggered seven times but came on to win another unanimous decision over bomb er Jerry Luedee of New Haven, Conn., in one of the most bruis ing slugfests ever staged at St. Nick's. Calhoun, who had taken a four-round verdict over brown haired, 22-year-old Luedee in a preliminary at Madison Square garden on Nov. 26, 1954, had the tired Connecticut dynamiter floundering in the late rounds Monday night from left hooks and overhand rights to the head. In some of the hectic sessions, each was on "rubber legs," and it seemed that one of them must be kayoed; but neither hit the canvas deck. Luedd's smashing straight rights to the head liad Calhoun "ready to go" in the second, fourth, fifth and ninth rounds; but each time Jerry became too eager and missed the target with what should have been the finishing punches.
