Boxing Bouts
By RICHARD VOUMARD
United Press Sports Writer
Melbourne 1 (U.R) Pete
Rademacher a Grandview, Wash,
heavyweight, and Jimmy Boyd,
a hard-hitting light heavyweight
from Rocky Mountain, N.C.,
hammered their way into the
Olympic boxing semi-finals to
day while three other U. S.
battlers suffered elimination.
Four Russian boxers, mean
while, enjoyed a banner dav as
they all scored victories in their
quarter final bouts.
Middleweight Roger Rouse of
Opportunity, Mont., one of the
three American losers, suffered
a particularly bitter setback
when the referee over-ruled the
four judges and awarded the
decision to Gilbert Chapron of
France. Lightweights Louis Mo
lina of San Jose. Calif., and
Joseph Shaw Of St .Louis also
lost decisions. ..
The 28-year-old 210.. pound
Rademacher scored-' a second
round technical knockout over
Josef Nemec of Czechoslovakia.
ProTed Too Tough
Boyd, a 25-year-old soldier
currently stationed at Fort Ben
ning. Ga.. proved too tough for
Rodalfo Diaz, a plucky Argen
tinian who tried gamely to trade
punches before losing a unani
mous decision.
Rouse's loss to Chapron was
a blow to the U. S. hopes for
a gold medal in ''the middle
weight division as the Montaian
had been expected to go all the
way. The four judges all called
the bout even but the referee
awarded the bout to the French
man by a single point as the
crowd booed lustily.
Molina ran out of gas in the
third round and lost a unanimous
decision to Tony Byrne of Ire
land in their lightweight bout
while in another bout in the
same division, Henry Loubscher
of South Africa outpointed Shaw.

spectacled Chris Basher of Great
Britain finally was awarded the
3,000-meter steeplechase cham
pionship in the record time of
8 minutes, 41.2 seconds after
first being disqualified for "in
terference" and then reinstated
hours later by a special protest
jury.
Except for the excitement
caused by the protest in the
steeplechase, the Americans had
the show mostly to themselves
in the vast Melbourne cricket
grounds as they added 12 points
to lead Russia in the unofficial
team race, 318-214.
Campbell Dominates Decathlon
Campbell, a husky 22-year-old
sailor, and world record-holder
Rafer Johnson of Kingsburg,
Calif., dominated the first five
events of the day-long decathlon
grind. Campbell wound up the
day with 4,564 points and John
son was second with 4.367 after
competition in the 100-meter
dash, broad jump, shot put, high
jump and 400 meters.
Campbell finished first in the
100,' shot, and 400 and was
second in the two jumps.
Jenkins, 22-year-old student at
Villanova, won his gold medal
the hard way with a tremendous
surge in the stretch. Running
third with his long stride and
flawless form, he suddenly
blasted around world record
holder Lou Jones of New Roch
elle, N.J., who had led from the
start, and then caught Russia's
Aradalian Ignatiev.
As Charles swept over the
finish line in a comparatively
slow 46.7. Karl Haas of Germany
nosed out the Russian for sec
ond place. Zoitto Hellsten of
Finland passed the winded and
cantering Jones, who finished
fifth with Malcolm Spence of
South Africa sixth.
Dispute Develop
A fierce dispute developed
when Brasher was disqualified
for bumping Ernst Larsen of
Norway on the fourth jump from
the finish.
The plucky Briton finished 20
yards ahead of the field in 8:41.2
shattering the record of 8:45.4

85-55 Verdict Over Russia
By DAVE BERONIO
Melbourne ;U.R) Big Bill
Russell led the United States
Olympic basketball team to a
surprisingly easy 85-55 victory
over Russia today. But the one
sided score did not lull Coach
Gerald Tucker into believing the
Soviets are pushovers.
The Russians, who already
had qualified for the final four
nation round-robin pool along
with the' Americans, used second-stringers
most of the way in
losing to the Yanks. Tucker in
terpreted the maneuver as a So
viet attempt to jockey for better
position in the final round-robin
which starts Friday.
In the Olympic pool system,
the two top teams in each semi
final group qualify for the tour-1
nament final. The Russians' set- i
back pitted them against weak-1
er opponents in the opening i
games of the final round-robin,
setting up a last day champion
ship showdown against the U.S.
Sixth Straight
This was the sixth straight vic
tory for the Americans, although
the point-total matched their
lowest thus far. The defeat was
Russia's second in six games, the

The American teamwas off in
its shooting during the first half
of the game against the Soviets.
But Russell and K. C. Jones, All
America team mates at San
Francisco, led a powerful spurt
early in the vcond half to break
open the game.
Russgll drew a loud rt)nd of
applause from the packed arena
of nearly 4.000 fans when he
scored one of his famed "stuff"
shots in the second half. How
ever, that was the only time he
tried the shot which had started
a mild controversy in last Tues
