A three-round ex hibition bout by Carmen Basilio, world welterweight cham pion, will be the feature attraction. Tickets are on sale at Lam port's, Brown's cafe, the Wooden Shoe in Medford and Grey hound Tavern in Ashland. Sugar Ray's Sharpness Drops Odds The 15-round middleweight championship boxing bout be tween Gene Fullmer and Sug ar Ray Robinson will be aired by the American Broadcasting company network and will be carried here by radio station KYJC (1230 kc) at 6:05 p.m. Fightcaster Siov Ellis will handle the blow-by-blow de scription for ABC. Chicago (U.R) Sugar Ray Robinson's sharp hitting ham mered down the odds today as he finished boxing preparations for Wednesday night's return title fight with middleweight champion Gene Fullmer. Young Fullmer of West Jor dan, Utah, is favored at only 2-1 to keep his 160-pound crown by beating 36-year-old Robinson in their 15-rounder at the Chicago stadium. That's a remarkable drop of six "points" from the 16-5 that prevailed over the week end. "And the price will go low er," predicted one Chicago bookie. "Sugar Ray has been very im pressive in training, but Fullmer has been only so-so. The price will go down to 7-5. There's plenty of Robinson money show ing now." . Enthusiasm Mounts As the odds dropped, enthusi asm for the fight mounted rap idly. Promoter Jim Norris, now on the scene, said, "the ticket sale is going so well I believe we'll have a crowd of at least 14,000 and a gate of at least S200.000." In addition, the TV-radio re ceipts will be $100,000. The bout will be televised and broadcast rationally, with a TV blackout on a 150-mile radius from the Stadium. Although Robinson lost the title to Fullmer on a unanimous decision in their first fight at Madison Square Garden,-Jan. 2, he is so confident of victory this time he has bet $2,000 on him self. Robinson was slated for two final rounds of leather-tossing at Coulon's gym today. Meanwhile Serving southwestern OREGON from RADFORD SPring 2- 5211 W Crater, Y Keep On Top in Meet STANDINGS: , W.
