the world's ' boxing crown next
Friday night but local fans will
g. have a chance to see another
brawl right here at the Josephine

Don Kindred, the Boston head
butter," will tankle with the half
Cherokee ape man, Bull Mon
tgne. The match was made last week
when the two almost battled it
out although they were not
matMied. Kindred jumped Into
m the ring after defeating the great
Roy Heffernan, and issued a
challenge to the winner of the
fnaln event between Wong and
Montana.
-After the. announcement he
Q shook "hands with Wong and

kindreds outstretched hand.
Kindred promptly laid on a
coufilje of vicious headbutts be-
fore "tfie referee could remove
him from the ring.
9 After Montana had finally
Come back to defeat Wong with
his piledriver, he issued a de-
maud that he be given a match

Thee is some doubt among
fads If Montana can stand up to
Kindred's headbutts.
e The semi final one hour match
will see George Drake squar

e Robierre. Robierre wrestled Bill
Fletcher here jn a great match
about three weeks ago. He is
from Montreal and rated a real
c&ner: Drake has become quite
rough and a pleasing match is

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." Rogue Valley Has

Chuck- Spieser strengthened his
hold as top contender for the
world light heavyweight crown
today on the basis of his second

Germany's Willie Hoepner.
Spieser put Hoepner down for

and would -make the winter

Masters at Augusta and was low

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.
