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.

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.

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.
