pound competition on June 10.
That's the day Archie Moore,
holder of the New York-
Massachusetts version of the
light heavyweight title, de
fends it against Italy's Giulio
Rinaldi in New York.
However, Teddy Brenner,
matchmaker for Madison
Square Garden, fears ole
Archie may not make the
weight. He sounded out Pat
Olivleri, Johnson's pilot, about
having the NBA king waiting
in the wings, just in case.
Olivleri said that if a sub
stitute for Moore is needed,
Johnson would be available
for 40 per cent of the purse
and $5,000 for expenses. .
"We wouldn't give anything
to Moore," Olivieri said. "Ar
chie's been giving Harold the
run-around for years."
Hungry Harold, who has
been boxing for 16 lean years,
picked up more than $12,000
for less than six minutes work
against Clay.
After a tame opening min
ute, he went to work, almost
dropping Clay to his haunches
with a left hook to the jaw.
A long overhand right
bounced Clay across the ring
for a count of two .as the
bell sounded.
In the second, cooly biding
his time, Johnson crossed two
quick rights which pitched
the challenger face forward to
the canvass. Clay got up grog
glly at nine and was maneu
vered into his own corner,
where the champion battered
him to the floor again.
Clay took a mandatory
eight count. Johnson then set
him up with a short right and
let fly with a series of punches
which flattened Clay for the
third time in the round.
Referee Dave Beloff waved
halt. Under Pennsylvania
rules a fighter is awarded an
automatic : TKO when he
scores three knockdowns in
any given round, even in a
championship bout.

KLAMATH FISH TAGGED Have you caught a fish with
jaw tag? Trout are being tagged in the Klamath river by
Arthur Gerlach, fishery biologist of the Oregon game com
mission. Purpose of the program is to determine the extent
that resident trout move upstream and downstream in a river
system. Anglers who have tags from the fish in the Kla
math river are asked to mail them to PO Box 1063 at Kla
math Falls. They are asked to include with the tags informa
tion on the approximate location in the river in which the
fish were taken (such as one mile below Big Bend dam),
size of the fish and date taken. The information also can be
telephoned to Klamath Falls TUxedo 4-9100. On receipt of
the data, a reply will be sent to the angler telling him the
date the trout was tagged and the location of the tagging site.

NCAA Proposes Limiting
All-Star Competition
Washington - (UPD - Each
year there are more and more
college all-star basketball and
football games, and they've
been taking too many athletes
away from college classes.
This is the reason the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic as
sociation council moved Mon
day to regulate college all-star
games for the first time since
it started enforcing rules nine
years ago.
The proposed regulations
mostly would affect compet
ing athletes. They would limit
all-star games to college sen
iors who are academically
eligible for sports under the
rules of their schools, would
confine all-star game dates,
practice periods and traveling
time to vacation periods when
no classes are being held;
