By JACK CUDDY Palm Beach, Fla.-IUPU-Inge-mar Johansson, a changed fighter at 28, finished his glove preparations today for perhaps the ring's "greatest experiment" Monday night. Under fire, he'll attempt a transition from the long-range "fear - fighter's" style that made him world champion to a close-quarter pressure at tack which he hopes will re capture the crown from Floyd Patterson at the Miami Beach Convention Hall. It's extremely doubtful if any other boxer of Swedish Ingo s prominence and age ever attempted such a drastic shift as that for which he has been rehearsing during 266 rounds of sparring for this fight. When big, brown - haired Ingemar won the title from Patterson in June, 1059, with third-round knockout, he was what boxing men call a fear-fighter" - without any BASKETBALL TUESDAY COLLEGE GAMES United Press International EAST NAIA Dlst. 30 Playoff! jviansiltfia (fa.) 37, Alliance 4U Westminster 68, Geneva 55 MIDWEST NAIA Dlst. 13 Playoff uus.

The term "fear-fighter" has been applied for many years to boxers who prefer fast footwork and long - range sharp-shooting to a close-quarter attack and its accompany ing exchanges. A fear - fighter who can punch is a very dangerous op ponent because usually he is under such tension that his reflexes are lightning fast and his timing verges on perfec tion. Ingo used that same long range style in his second title fight with Patterson last June, but apparently he underrated Floyd because of the first fight knockout and he lacked his former alertness - par ticularly in the second round when he stunned Floyd with a right to the head and then failed to follow up. Patterson knocked him out in the fifth round. Now, Ingemar - strictly an upright fighter during his career - has changed to a semi -crouch, and even at tempts to bob-weave at times. And he presses forward, flat footed, after his sparmates. He jabs and jabs at them with his left - with a solid left-imd tries to batter them with both fists in exchanges.
