Pro Class
Teams Roll
In Tourney
Detroit-(UPD-The classic di
vision, limited to bowling pro
fessionals, makes its team de
but at the American Bowling
congress tournament tonight
with two teams competing,
the Sullivans of Detroit and
the Amster-Wirz Club of Ak
ron, Ohio.
Appearing in the first clas
sic team action will be such
stars as Billy Golembiewski,
present Masters tournament
champion, Ed Lubanski, form
er All-Star champion, and
Thurman Gibson, recent win
ner of the $75,000 prize on a
nationally televised bowling
show.
Led Record
The Sullivans, rolling as the
Pfeiffer Beers two years ago,
established an ABC tourney
record with a 3243 total.
There were two minor
changes in team standings in
Tuesday's action.
Fantasy Bowl from Detroit
took over fourth in regular
team standings with a 2853
and Mathews Five of Livonia,
Mich., took third in booster
standings with 2650.
There was a new leader in
the regular singles division as
Joe Santek of Kalamazoo,
Mich., fired a 687. The other
leaders remained the same
and were Orville Smith of
Dayton in all-events with 1834
and Ed Johnson and Walter
Crossno from Chicago in
doubles with 1261.
Johansson Changes
To Pressure Style
PAL BATTLER-A new name
in southern Oregon boxing
circles is Winningham. There
is Jerry and his brother, John,
from the Applegate area, who
battle for the Medford Police
Athletic league. Above is
Jerry, 145-pounder, who likes
it best when the going is
toughest. He'll be on the PAL
club's March of Dimes bene
fit card Saturday night at the
Medford armory in a rematch
with Stan Kiefer, Coos Bay.
He lost a split decision by one
half point at Coos Bay recent
ly to Kiefer. Still new to box
ing, Winningham is fast learn
ing to be a potent puncher.
He has a punishing right
hand. There are separate
prices for balcony seats for
students and adults, for reg
ular main floor seats and for
ringside seats. Twelve to 15
bouts are planned.

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

Houston, outpointed Joey Parks,
136, umana, ncD. flu), (non-title),
necessary reflection on his
courage.
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.
