Although Floyd was far from sensational Friday night as he registered his 22nd straight victory and his fourth defense of the crown, he had the distinction of being the first . man to knock rugged London off his feet. The challenger weighed 208 pounds to the champion's 182. Staggering In Every Bound Patterson had the artillery, but his eight-months of in activity since he knocked out Roy Harris last Aug. 18, made him miss the target often -particularly when he went all out with Sunday punches in trying to' put his man away. They grazed-and they missed - and on two misses, the cham pion almost fell down. Nevertheless, he gave dark haired London a terrific beat ing, particularly to the body. And he had the iron man from Blackpool, England, stagger ing . at least once in nearly every round. The third session was Lon don's best. He knocked the champion back onto his heels with a "sneaker right" to the chin and fought well. It was Floyd's 22nd straight victory and his 34th in 35 fights. It was also his 16th knockout in his 'last 17 bouts and the 26th kayo in his heavyweight career. London suffered his fifth defeat in 27 starts. .

Ashland and Crater will play on May 19 . and Klamath and Grants ' Pass on May 9 in make-ups.

Crater Versus Klamath An earlier postponement will be made up on Tuesday when Klamath is to play Cra ter at Cheney field at the south edge of Medford.
