counter for the 1955 ruckus in
which the contingents knotted at
7 each.
Coach Fred Spiegelberg and
his staff of assistants put the
Tornado gridmen through a long '
overdue session yesterday as j
much needed ground was cover-,

Fine Talent
For Football
At Arizona
Tucson, Ariz. OJ.P) Univer
sity of Arizona, loaded with
some of the finest football talent
in the West, gets cooperation
from the schedule makers this
year, too, and the result may be
the finest Wildcat season in his
tory. Coach Warren Woodson has
one of the best tailbacks in the
country in Art Luppino; possibly
the best center in college 1001
ball in Paul Hatcher and he
has a tailor-made schedule that
calls for seven of the 10 games
to be played on the home lot.
The Wildcat open their slate
on Saturday, playing the Uni
versity of Montana at Phoenix
which also might be called a
"home" game. The Tucson boys
will be favored naturally.
Luppino, the nation's top
ground gainer for two years in
a row, is the most highly publi
cized of the Arizona gridders.
But Hatcher is the boy that the
professional scouts have been
watching. He is a standout on
both offense and defense and
will go high in the draft choices
this fall if he doesn't get hurt.
Around these two talented
stars. Woodson also has 14 other
lettermen. Included in the list is
Ed Brown, an all-Border Confer
ence guard, who is just about as
good as Hatcher.
There are two lettermen ends
returning in Ed Sine and Mark
Owen; four tackles: Doug All
red. Clarence Anderson, Alan
Polley and Jack Davis.
If he gets through the season
without injury, Luppino prob
ably will play full time at his
tailback spot. Pete Arrigoni will
get the wingback call, but he
has Billy Overall and Roy Mar
tin at the same spot.
Don Beasley is the powerful
runner who will get the call at
fullback, but he has good re
placements, too. in Gene Leek
and Don Bowerman.

Tornado stalwarts anticipate
harder going against Milwaukie

Word from Joel Meyers, Mus

the line and 165 in the backfield

excellent at Winchester bay.
Salmon are present in the Gard

Basilio Recaptures
Welterweight Title
By JACK CUDDY
Syracuse, N.Y. (U.R) Fiery
Carmen Basilio, who recaptured
the welterweight crown from
Johnny Saxton Wednesday night
and is casting covetous eyes on
the middleweight title, credited
"better condition and smart box
ing in tactics" today for his sav
age victory.
The 29-year old Carmen gave
Saxton a bloody beating and
stopped him in the ninth round
of their return fight before 8.546
in War Memorial Auditorium,
but he must grant New Yorker
Johnny a "rubber title- match"
before he goes after Sugar Ray
Robinson's 160-pound crown.
For Carmen and his handlers,
at least, the technical knockout
triumph settled the six-month
dispute over who should have
won at Chicago last March, when
Saxton took the title from Ba
silio on a controversial decision.
Cut Off Retreats
"I fought a much smarter fight
last night." said the ex-onion
farmer from nearby Chittenango,
N.Y.. who became the ninth man
in welterweight history to win
back the title after losing it.
"I used boxing-in-tactics," he
continued, "and cut off his re
treats when he tried to circle, in
stead of following his around-the-circle,
like at Chicago."
Happy Carmen, with a slight
cut on his left cheek and a
somewhat swollen nose, said: "I
won the fight at Chicago, too.
Furgol Favorite
At Fort Wayne
Fort Wayne. Ind. iU.R Ed
Furgol, currently the hot-shot on
the professional golf swing, was
the favorite today to give the
seventh annual $15,000 Fort
Wayne open a new champion
for the seventh time.
Not since this show was in
augurated in 1950 has the win
ner repeated. At least two ex
champs, last year's winner Dow
Finsterwald and 1954 titlist
Doug Ford, were among the
more than 100 players who teed
off today in the 72-hole contest.
At the halfway mark, the field
will be chopped to the low 60
pros and 10 ranking amateurs to
go the final two rounds Satur
day and Sunday.
Should Furgol falter. Ford,
last year's PGA champion, rated
a good chance to add to his
laurels. Other favorites included
Bob Toski. Mike Souchak, Bob
Rosburg. Tommy Bolt, Fred
Haas and Arnold Palmer.

a bit stale then from over-training
for the postponed bout. And
I didn't fight smart."
"But I won't fight in Chicago,"
Basilio declared.
Mouth Badly Ripped
Saxton. who will be out of ac
tion for weeks because of the
badly ripped left side of his
mouth, likewise said:
"I won't fight again in Syra
cuse. Basilio got away with
butting and other things last
night, here in his own back
yard."
Johnny said the ripped mouth,
which required nine stitches, was
caused by a butt, not by a punch.
Saxton will receive about S71,
400 from the record central New
York S134.939 gross gate and
S75.000 TV-radio money. His 40
per cent of all net receipts is
twice that given Basilio, who
will wind up with about 535,700.
Johnny, favored at 7-5 in the
late betting, suffered such a bat
tering Wednesday night as he
suffered the second kayo in his
career of 60 fights, that each of
the three ring officials gave him
only one of the eight completed
