The jury of six men and six women returned the verdict against the boxer Thursday after deliberating the case for 48 hours. Superior Judge Herbert V. Walker ordered a hearing on a motion for a new trial for March 14 and set March 21 as date for sentencing. During the trial, Polish refu gee boxer Dick Goldstein, of be attle, testified that Aragon, former third - racking welter weight, paid him to "take a dive" in the fourth round of a bout scheduled in San Antonio, Tex., last Dec. 18. The bout was called off at the last minute when Aragon became ill. hand has not discouraged his supporters. In fact, the wagering is 7-5 that 26-year-old Saxton does not last the scheduled 15 rounds of the nationally televised and broadcast battle, which starts at 10 p.m. EST. Co-Manager Joe Uetro said to day, "I hope Carmen finishes his series decisively tonight with Saxton, so he can shoot for the middleweight title. At 29. it has become a real chore for Carmen to pare down to the 147-pound limit. He would be stronger as a middleweight, around 154 pounds. Of course, whether he could go right after the 160 pound crown would depend on the wishes of the promoters." In their two previous bouts, Saxton recaptured the title on a unanimous but disputed decision over Basilio at Chicago Stadium last March 14. but Carmen won it back from Johnny on a ninth round TKO at Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 12.

Wayne Christian of the Eagles missed a set up on a feed and then fouled Stan Grib- ble who muffed the free try, Veach then sank the bucket put ting the Eagles on top. The well-geared Brookings gang was the steadier quint for most of three periods. It was smoother, surer and hit its shots better. Eagle Point missed many of its field goal tries in the first half and repeatedly lost the ball to Bruin backboard 'clearers. But the Eagles turned up with more fight at the finish. 15 Field Goals Each Brookings headed 12 to 7 at the quarter and pushed to 24 to 14 in the second canto. The Ea gles caught fire with better work under their offensive board and rebound shots by Greb and Dennis Boren made it 24 to 18. The haiftime buzzer then stopped the upward climb and the Eagles lagged again un til the late stages of the third stanza when five free tosses and two field goals got them going again. Each team had 15 field goals. EP hit 15 of 25 at the free line and Brookings nine of 18. Glendale had a pressing de fense which made things uncom fortable for Phoenix but the Pi rates of Douglas county were slam-bang much of the time in their field shooting and couldn't match the accuracy of the more deliberate firing of the Pirates of Jackson county. Gary Simmonds, a longe range gunner, put in 11 field goals for Phoenix in collecting 23 points. Driving Ray Munyon was the surest player for Glendale and with 18 points fas the only mem ber of his club to collect more than six. Phoenix had quarter leads of 13 to 8, 34 to 18 and 52 to 26 and was on top once by 26 tallies. The Jackson county club out- shot Glendale 29 to 16 from the field.
