By JACK CUDDY New York-UIPII-Floyd Pat terson, bucking the odds and tradition, will try to recap ture the world heavyweight championship tonight from Real Solid Track Team Seen for United States By HAL WOOD Berkeley, Calif.-lUPll-Larry Snyder of Ohio State, coach of the U.S. Olympic track and field team, said today that, in the wake of the NCAA, cham pionships on Saturday, United States would have a "real solid" team for the Rome Olympics. "These boys from the col leges filled in where we were possibly weak for the Olympic trials at Stanford, July 1-2," said Snyder. "Now I can't think of any immediate wor ries." The NCAA boys, well tuned for : the Olympic trials and some of them headed for the national AAU meet at Bakers field this week end, cracked 10 meet records and equalled another during the two -day grind here.

An expected crowd of 40, 000 In the former Giants ball park will watch as 23-year-old Patterson of Rockville Centre, N.Y., attempts to be come the first man ip ring history to win back the heavy weight crown. And the first to tag Ingo with i professional defeat. None of the eight who pre viously tried to recover the title were able to do it. And the betting is 8-5 that Floyd doesn't turn the trick. Brawny Johansson, who floored Floyd seven times for a third round technical knock out in their first fight last June 26, apparently wasn't fretting about the return. He appeared personally on a 10:30 p.m. (e.d.t.) television show Sunday night-the night before his first .efense.

"No," he said. "I get to bed late. I sleep like a baby late, till maybe 10:30 and get up feeling fine for the weigh in." It was reported without confirmation that he received $2,000 for his appearance as mystery guest on the TV show "What's My Line?" His identity was quickly estab lished. Tonight Ingemar and Floyd are expected to pick up about $500,000 each for their sched uled 15 - rounder as their shares of the "live" gate of perhaps $800,000 at the park and the receipts from theater television, radio, movies, etc., expected to total about $2, 500,000. There will be no regular home television, but ABC will radio it to homes nationally. It will also be carried by radio in six languages to 26 foreign countries. Champion and ex-champion motored into New York from their respective camps Sunday-Johansson from Grossin ger, N.Y., and Patterson from Newton, Conn. During their six weeks of training Patterson indicated in his sparring sessions that he would carry the fight to Ingo this time and try to beat him with left hooks to the head and hooking combina tions to the body and head. In their fight last June, Floyd made the disastrous mistake of trying to fight at a distance from the 27-year- old long-range, sharp-shooting specialist. Thus Patterson was nailed between the eyes by a thundering right in the third round for the first of seven knockdowns before Ref eree Ruby Goldstein stopped the bout at 2:03 of the third Jim Bryan Killed in Race Spin United Press International Former three-time national champion Jimmy Bryan of Phoenix, Ariz., and two Brit ish race drivers were killed Sunday climaxing a week end of tragedy In auto racing cir cles. -' Bryan, 33, making a come back after two years of retire ment, died at the start of the 100-mile national champion ship race In Langhorne, Pa., when his car skidded and then hurtled 35 feet into the air. He died en route to Low er Bucks County hospital. Chris Bristow and Alan Sta cey of Great Britain were killed on the 20th and 25th lap of the Belgian Grand Prix in Francorchamps, Belgium. Bristow was killed after he was thrown out of a somer saulting Cooper. Stacey, 26, died when his Lotus jumped the track and crashed into a field. Bryan, winner of the In dianapolis 500 in 1058 and the the 500 Miglia at Monza, Italy, in 1957, went into a fa tal spin 12 seconds after the start of the race when he hit the second curve of the dirt track too fast.

Arba Ager, a smallish hurl- er from Portland's Madison high school, pitched a no-hit, no run 6-0 victory for the Metro team in the final game of the series Sunday. Ager s "no-no" came follow ing a 6-2 victory by State in the first game of a double header and a 3-1 win by the Staters Saturday night. Most Valuable For his pitching work, the young Portlander was award ed with the most valuable player presentation for the Metro squad. Robbie Snow, whose three hitter gave State the first game win, won the state MVP award. Ager had 12 strikeouts in the seven - inning game and walked only one man. A six-run rally in the fifth inning netted State its second series win in the first game of the twin bill. Mcdford's Lowell Dean sparked the State squad to its win with two hits. Four players and the coach of the Medford High school state A-l championship base ball club had considerable role Saturday and Sunday in the State-Metro prep all-star series at Eugene. Cal Dean played the entire three -game series at short Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss It is said that there are some people who actually en joy being cooped up in town during the hot summer. The explanation is that they are so acclimated to air coolers, water coolers, and sit-down entertainment that if they did leave such a cloistered environment they wouldn't survive the transition to the open air. True or not, let's not encourage them to change and join us, the streams and lakes are crowded enough al ready. WARNING TO FISH Did you ever wonder what chemists have against fish? One of the latest data sheets on insecticides warns ihoia using aromatic oil as a carrier that it is just as toxic to fish as the insec ticides. One might wonder whether or not such lethal doses for fish have a harm ful effect on people. Using such sprays on food con sumed by humans would make any fisherman skit tish. But maybe that comes from trying to think like a fish in order to catch one. LADDER GOING UP On the plus side of the ledger is the good news that the ladder around the Illinois falls is on its way up. The contract was awarded to Mann Construction company of Redmond, Ore. It submit ted a low bid of $83,700. Highest bid was $169,000 and the nearest compeitive bid was $92,690. The contractor intends trying to complete the ladder by the end of this year.

He pinch hit and played the last three innings in the outfield in concluding tussle. Ken Jensen was catcher in the entire Saturday game. In the Sunday opener he was a pinch hitter and was in right field the last two innings. In the third game of the series he saw duty as battery mate for Klamath Falls pitcher Blake Griggs. Lowell Dean was at first base for the whole Saturday tussle and was in left field, where he made a diving catch in the Sunday starter. He was at first base the last three innings of the final game. Filled In For Krause Medford mentor John Ko venz assumed duties as co coach of State when Mel Krause, North Eugene High tutor slated to serve for the all-star series, could not leave the Eugene Emeralds who were playing a Northwest league professional series at Yakima. A high bouncer by Ander son in the first game on Sun day helped in two runs. Cal Dean had singled ahead of him to drive in the first run of a six-run State surge. Andy also singled to center. A Sat urday night hit by Cal drove in a State marker. Lowell Dean singled in the first Sunday game then doubled to drive In Anderson water from the spring to the culvert. It was the spring, eroding down and through the slide, that caus ed the muddy situation in ih upper river. NOT A PLOT1 It was not part of a pur poseful plot by the highway department to muddy the lower Rogue this week. The fact that it moved tons of dirt in order to create a new channel for the river was no indication that it intended making the river dirty. Believe it or not, this is the story. Boaters should take warning, however, and not try the new channel. A pick up and take out has been constructed in order to get boats around the coffer dam. One boat has been lost al ready so a word to the wise should be sufficient.

THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER One would think that a person who loves fishing would be able to arrange his life to fish more than not but it doesn't seem to work out thai way. The only way to adjust to less time for fishing is to enjoy it that much more when the chance to go occurs.
