New York CU R) What kind
of a heavyweight champion is I
Floyd Patterson?
Right now that's the biggest
one-man question in sports. It
may be answered partially this
year if the youngest heavyweight
ruler in history survives his two
pfanned title defenses in June
and September.
c Both fights are expected to be
at Yankee Stadium, and the
probable challengers are Tommy
Hurricane Jackson and Eddie
Machen.

At 2, the streamlined boxer-!
puncher from St. Albans, N. Y., I
?j apparently has the body and the
fighting philosophy to make him ,
one ui me jicdicai ctiiiipiui 1
Qof all time. "
a The ring philosophy that gov
erns his Uvinjng and fighting is
vry important. He and Manager
us D'Amato maintain stead
fastly that -"the perfect fighter
is one who can hit his opponent
a stunning blow without getting
hi himself."
No Gambler in the Ring
In other words, just because
Patterson is a knockout puncher
wh can hit harder than most of
his opponents, he doesn't gamble
on taking a blow in order to land
one. Ecn when his man has
"opened up" in an exchange,
Patterson still is just as alert on
defense as offense. He hews to
this philosophy more closely
than any big-time heavyweight
since dk-ne Tunney.
His ability to avoid ancient
Archie Moore's punches in their
exchanges at Chicago, meanwhile
ripping Archie with combina
tions, was a feature of his cham
pionship victory, Nov. 30.
However, whether young
Floyd is half as good as he
looked against 40-year-old Archie

they yelled their protests against
Harts seventh-round technical
knockout victory - over Barry
Allison of Springfield, Mass. One
fist fight broke out at ringside.
As 20-year-old Hart tentative
ly accepted the Garden offer
today, he added it probably
would have been better Monday
night "if Referee Harry Ebbets
hadn't stopped the fight when
he did."
Ebbets, a former light-heavy
weight contender, said, "I stop
ped the fight because Allison
was taking a bad beating tak
ing too many punches. He might
have been badly hurt."
Ebbets intervened after 22
seconds of the seventh round.
The official scoring favored
Hart, 6-0, 4-2 and 5-1.
Hart, who registered his sev
enth straight knockout and his
20th victory in 21 bouts, was
offered Walter Byers of Boston,
recent conqueror of ex-champion
Kid Gavilan, as a main-event
