Surprised bookies explained that "a flood of Eastern money" had hammered down Wednes day's 8-5, favoring Moore, to UCLA Grads Want School Out of PCC By ROBERT BENNYHOFF Los Angeles (U.R) Next week may bring an answer to the number one sports puzzler on the Pacific Coast today: will UCLA seek to drop out of the Pacific Coast Conference?. Some observers feel the school will actually try to break loose from the PCC, hoping other schools presently dissatisfied with the conference's athletic code will follow suit. Others believe UCLA is pres ently jockeying for a better bar gaining position in its effort to water down a recent PCC edict stripping Bruin varsity football players of a year's eligibility be cause gridders were given above ceiling financial assistance. The Bruins also were banned from Rose Bowl competition for three years. Showdown Seen In either case, the showdown is expected at next week's Pa cific Coast Conference meeting here. . In the most openly rebellious move yet, the UCLA Alumni as sociation went on record Wednes day as recommending that Chan cellor Raymond B. Allen take immediate steps to take the school out of the nine-member conference. The Chairman of the board of regents,' multimillionaire oilman Edwin W. Pauley, sided with the alumni. "Unless a compromise can be reached between the Pa cific Coast conference and UCLA," he told the United Press, "I am in favor of UCLA's with drawal."

(U.R) Chuck- Spieser strengthened his hold as top contender for the world light heavyweight crown today on the basis of his second round knockout victory over Germany's Willie Hoepner. Spieser put Hoepner down for the 10 count at 2:29 of the second round of. their televised bout here Wednesday night. Spieser weighed 172',i .pounds to 174V4 for Hoepner. Venturi Plans Pro Golf Career . San. Franeisco (U.R) Ken Ventari, one- of the nation's top amateur golfers, announced to day he was turning professional and would -make the winter tournament tour. Vn4uri, 25, former Sa'n Jose State, college star, finished sec ond, as an amateur, in this year's Masters at Augusta and was low amateur in the recent -National Open, finishing eighth. even money. But they had no ex planation for the cause of the Eastern splurge. And nothing occurred in 39- year-old Archie's final two rounds of sparring at the Mid west gymnasium to cause loss of confidence in the light heavy weight champion's condition. Patterson did no boxing Wednes day. He tapered off with seven rounds of gymnasium exercises. Moreover, a United Press poll of 40 sports writers on the scene today favored Moore, 25-15. Most of the Moore pickers predicted a knockout victory. Brisk Ticket Sale Meanwhile, the brisk sale of tickets made promoter Jim Norris confident the bout would draw more than 18,000 fans and approximately $300,000. He said the advance sale this morning had reached $172,000. "And it should be about $210,000 by Fri day noon." A heavy late sale is expected at the stadium as usual for big fights Friday eve ning and night. Although there will be a TV blackout for a 150-mile radius i- the Chicago area, the TV radio package pays Norris and his International Boxing club $200,000. Moore and Patterson will receive 30 per cent each from all net receipts, probably about $150,000 each. Such a purse would be a long throw, indeed from the $178 Moore re ceived in his only previous Chi cago appearance at Marigold Garden, many years ago. Archie Moore Says s Suits False Chicago (U.R) Heavy weight contender Archie Moore brpnded as false three suits charging him with breach of promise and assault. 'Ohe suits, asking $259,000 damages on each count, were filed Wednesday in federal court by attorney Leon A. Kupieck on behalf of Mrs. Dolree Mapp, Shaker Heights, Ohio, and her daughter, Barbara Bivins, 12. Barbara is the adopted daugh ter of former heavyweight box er Jimmy Bivins. Papers were served at the Mid west Athletic club, Moore's train ing camp for his heavyweight championship fight against Floyd Patterson here Friday night. Moore contended the suits were not new, but had been filed before in California and Ohio just before a fight.
