"I figure that it will take me two rounds to figure out his style and then I'll go to work and try to end it before the eighth round" Liston said. The bulky boxer said that "if Mr. Patterson uses a bi cycle, I'll just keep waiting and catch up to him and make him fight." He admitted that the match "might be a tough fight, if, by chance, he (Patterson) gets up when I hit him with the big right hand." 3-2 Favorite Before boarding the plane, Liston said he weighed 222 pounds and will be down to 212 for the opening bell.

I'm 100 years old today. Some way or other, it's hard to believe." The "grand old man" of American sports reached the century mark and a nation of sports fans paused to celebrate his birthday. From coast to coast they toasted the world - renowned coach, sage, wit, rules-maker, sports inventor, and deeply religious builder of men. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram Wednesday to congratulate Stagg, calling him "a persuasive and shining example" as a teacher, coach and citizen. Time Running Out A year ago, Stagg kidded: "Time is running out for me. I don't know if I'll make it to the century mark. But it would be nice. Not many peo ple do." He made it, and from Springfield, Mass., where J. Lyman Bingham, executive director of the U.S. Olympic Committee is the speaker; to San Francisco, where coach Jack Curtice of Stanford head lines the cast, the eulogy of Mr. Stagg will be under way today at luncheons and ban quets. In West Orange. N.J., Stagg's birthplace, there has been a week-long celebration. Other cities also are feting the man who has done more for the game of football than any person in history. Stagg is confined to a con-' valescent home in Stockton and it is considered doubtful that he'll be able to attend the j Dartv in his honor at Stock-1 ton. But there will be thou sands of anecdotes told during the parties across the land. Pitching Muzzuoa. Flor. . Kozak. Florists .... Wlngdeld, Flor. Wllgus. Salem .. Welburn, McCul. Nybakke. Salem Rice.
