Johansson Finally Uses Right in Ring Session; Patterson Sharpens Jab urossinger, N. Y.-HTB-ln a training switch, Ingemar Jo hansson is finally throwing his right and Floyd Patterson is sharpening his left jab for their heavyweight title fight a week from tonight. -' Challenger Johansson of Sweden, who concentrated on left jabs since he started train ing, threw more straight rights here Wednesday than In all his previous workouts combined. "Wearing the big 12-ounce training gloves, Ingemar turn ed the right loose-not with full power during two rounds with sparmate Artie Towne. Despite the big gloves, Towne was well shaken and holding on at times. Six Ounce Glovet Johansson, reputedly the hardest right-hand puncher in the heavyweight division, will be wearing six-ounce gloves when he squares off against Patterson at Yankee Stadium, 6:30 p.m., (edt) next Thursday. Ingemar used the left chief ly in five other rounds with Bill Johnson, Clarence Floyd and brother Rolf Johansson. Meanwhile, from Chatham, N.J., came the news that champion Patterson-essential-ly a hooker with either fist surprised the spectators at Ehsan's camp with an impres sive demonstration of solid left-jabbing. And he kept his feet on the floor. During his amateur and professional career, Floyd has had a tendency to' leap in with his jabs. Critics have called those aerial jabs "fly ing saucers." The champion jolted spar mate Lou Jones with jabs that almost knocked him down. Jones, a 195-pounder from Rockford, 111., was surprised at the jabbing onslaught. So were the sports writers at the ringside. Track Meet on Saturday At Senior High Stadium Medford's first summertime track meet in recent years is scheduled Saturday at the sen ior high stadium.

Champion Holds To Philosophy Summit, N. J.-Heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, true to the philosophy he al ways has followed in the ring, is ignoring all advice, no mat ter how well-meaning, about the best way to fight Ingemar Johansson. The champ expresses plenty of respect for Johansson, and he' expects their June 25 bout at, Yankee Stadium-seen via closed-circuit television in the aters and arenas from coast ,to coast-to be the most im portant of his five title de fenses. " But Patterson has consist ently passed up opportunities to get a "book" on previous opponents, and Johansson is no exception to Floyd's long standing rule. The champion honestly believes that the less he knows about a foe, the bet ter off he will be. "I fight my own fight any way," he explains, "so why worry about what the other fellow is likely to do. They say that Johansson has a great right hand. But what if I con centrate on defending against his right and he nails me with a left?'.

Klamath Falls Basinettes will be the foe of the Maids in the non-league scuffle. Coach Jim Hughes made the championship boast con cerning his club after they licked the Rogue Valley crew 14 to 8 here two weeks ago in a free wheeling game. The Basinettes showed some hit ting strength in the battle paced by Ruth Hagelstein and Darlene Perry. Artillery But the Maids can come up with heavy artillery, too. They displayed it in a 12 to 10 game three weeks back over Klamath when Jean Main, ' Irma Penwell, Ellen Callaghan and Doris Hickson led a 17-hit attack.
