Loi Battles Ortiz
For Welter Crown
San Francisco (UPD Duilio
Loi, Italy's fighting pride-and-joy,
said today he may switch
to southpaw style-at least part
of the time -for his battle
Wednesday night with junior
welterweight champion Car
los Ortiz.
Loi noted that Ortiz has
been beaten only twice in his
life-and once was by south
paw Kenny Lane.

Nixon Goes
To Sox In
Trade Deal
Boston -(UPD The last-place
Boston Red Sox, 12 hours af
ter re-hiring Mike Higgins as
manager, obtained Cleveland
Indians catcher Russ Nixon
Monday in a four-man straight
player deal.
Nixon, a 25-year-old left
handed batter, was the center
of a violent controversy last
spring when he was traded to
Boston in exchange for
catcher Sammy White. Nixon
was ordered back to the In
dians by baseball Commis
sioner Ford Frick after White
decided to quit baseball and
devote all his time to business
interests.
In exchange for Nixon and
outfielder Carroll Hardy, the
Red Sox today sent outfielder
Marty Keough and pitcher
Ted Bowsfield to Cleveland.
Nixon was expected to in
herit the starting catching as
signment on the troubled Red
Sox team. Boston has been al
ternating 28-year-old Eddie
Sadowski, a classy receiver
but weak hitter, and Haywood
Sullivan, who is only a fair
catcher and who has been hit
ting only .135 thus far this
season, behind the plate.

Three Rogue Valley Coun
try club golfers "beat the
champ" Saturday in National
Golf day rivalry. They were
Dr. Robert Buck, Bob Fasel
and Dr. Roland Mayer.
Feature match of the day
in the nation saw Bill Casper,
U. S. Golf association, defeat
Bob Rosburg, Professional
Golfers association champ, by
three strokes with a 67 at
Firestone Country club, Ak
ron, Ohio. Golfers around the
country attempted to beat the
gross of the winner of that
match with their nets.
''. Dr. Buck had a 68-266,
Fasel 73-865 and Mayer 81-
1566.
- One RVCC woman, Mrs.
Jack Six, tied Casper's gross
with her net. She had 104-30
plus 767.
when I first started boxing,"
says Loi. "I can hit from that
stance."
Some of the fight mob be
lieves that Loi's experience
will pay off in this battle. He
has had 110 bouts. Of these he
has won 103, had six draws
and lost only one fight. He
has not lost in his last 72
fights.
The champion has had only
33 fights. He has won 31 and
lost two. Both of his defeats
later were reversed when he
won in return matches.
The bout will be nationally
televised, but blacked out locally.

TAKES LEAVE
Ed Knapp, track mentor
at Crater high, who has
managed Hawthorne pool
for a number of summers,
has taken leave of absence
this year and says- he will
make a trip east to attend
a coaching clinic at North
western university, Evan
ston. 111., and to visit his 90-year-old
father, Ed Sr., at
Kenosha, Wis.
Their main headache was a
boat built by Croucher and
Dyer. The trip was to Little
Fish lake in the Umpqua Na
tional forest.
According to Kramer, they
started along the trail with
their well-laden boat on a
buck buggy, a cart which was
supported by a bicycle wheel.
Two miles along the trail the
wheel collapsed. The three
took everything out of the
boat and put the equipment
alone on the buggy, using it
a sort of stretcher. They
planned for one man to tote
the 85-pound boat and the
others to carry the stretcher
but the equipment was too
heavy.
They then made up three
packs, carried them about
one-fourth mile ahead, then
went back and got the boat
and brought it up to the
packs. This procedure was re
peated until the three got to
the lake 10 hours after they
started up the trail too tired
to fish that day. Kramer said
they figure they had actually
traveled SVa miles on the
trail.
The three caught 15 fish
among them the following
day, finding the best spot just
before they had to quit. Then,
they hiked out to the car in
just 1V4 hours without the
boat,
McABEE AT BROOKINGS

By FLOYD PATTERSON
Written for UPI
Newtown, Conn. - (UPI) - I'll
be carrying seven more
pounds and the first "mad
on" of my career when I fight
Ingemar Johansson next Mon
day.
This means 1 11 be giving
away practically nothing in
the weights and absolutely
nothing in determination. At
189 pounds I'll be bigger and
stronger than I've ever been
before. And at the sharpest
mental peak of my life I'll be
looking to make Ingo wind
up as boxing tradition suys
all good champions should:
Face down.
You can forget all that stuff
about Floyd Patterson "the
Impersonal fighter who
doesn't let emotion enter into
his fights." Let's face it, Ingo
gave me a licking last time.
It's this simple: Ira going to
do it to him.
The tale of the tape will
disclose the physical differ
ence. I've put on seven pounds
in the right spots - in the
shoulders and biceps. That's
why I'm punching harder and
sharper than ever before. It's
why I'm thinking of a knock
out and not just winning a
decision.
Prove Point
You'll have to see the fight
to see the proof of my second
point. Mad . . . angry , . .
peeved . . . annoyed . . .
These are words but they do
not really describe how a man
feels when he has a job to do
that only his two fists can
accomplish.
People ask me if I fight
"the fight" over and over in
my mind. I tell them "yes"
even though I know we're not
talking about the same fight.
They mean the first fight.
Boston - (UPD - The Boston
Patriots of the American Foot
ball league have signed Don
Dirienzo, 23 -year -old, 245
pound tackle who played col
lege ball for the University of
California, San Jose college
and Western State college In
Colorado.
But the one I've fought over
and over is this one.
I'm fighting Ingemar Jo
hansson when I'm rat-tatting
the light bag and pushing
around the heavy bag. I see
him when I'm running in the
woods and it's really Ingo's
chin I'm hitting when I flick
a quick left or right at a low-
hanging leaf. And my little
gum here in the woods is the
Polo Grounds filled to capac
ity at I stand over Ingo and
hear them saying that Floyd
Patterson is the heavyweight
champion of the world again.
