MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORO. OREGON MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 24. 1962 calpers Do Booming Business With Patterson-Liston Ducats By JACK CUDDY Chicago -iliPli- Ticket scalp ers were doing a booming business today in preferred teats lor the $6 million Floyd Patlerson-Sonny Liston heavy weight title fight. The scalpers were demand ing and getting $150 a seat for tickets in the first five S100 rows, as champion Pat terson and challenger Liston prepared to break camp to night and motor into the city for their scheduled 15-round bout Tuesday night. Meanwhile, a brigade of workmen .began installing the Ting and field seats at Comins key Park. Tickets for the live closed circuit television showing of lhe Floyd Patterson-Sonny-Liston heavyweight title bout are "going very rapid ly." Robert Corbin. Oregon California theaters manager here, said this morning. The fight will be shown at 6:30 p.m. (PST) Tuesday at lhe Craterian theatre. Corbin reported thai there are a number of tickets left. He stated that he had receiv ed a number of telephone requests for tickets this morning but that reserva are not being taken by telephone. A box-office man for Cham pionship Sports, Inc., the pro moters, declared angrily, ' I don't know what we can do about the scalpers. We posi tively refused to do any busi ness with ticket brokers on this fight. But some of them apparently sent a lot of stoog es around early and bought choice tickets. Now the de mand for them is terrific." Rain or Shine The demand was stepped up by promoter Al Bolan's an nouncement that the fight will be staged Tuesday night "rain or shine." The weather out look for the bout is cloudy and cool, but dry. Bolan issued his rain-or-shine edict because of threatening skies today. "Three weeks ago architect Lionel Levy of New York, who laid out the ring set-up and the seating plan, arranged for a large tarpaulin to be placed on rollers above the ring to protect the fighters in case of rain," Boland ex plained. He added with a grin: "How can we have a postponement - with more than 35.000 peo ple expected at the park and with more than 750,000 ex pected at close-circuit theaters throughout this country and Canada?" Bolan disclosed that the ad vance sale for Comiskey Park had passed the $500,000 mark. That indicates an ultimate live gate of more than $600,000, he said. Millions From TV Graff, Reiner and Smith, Inc. - who own the closed cir cuit television rights - report ed that the sale of about 750, 000 seats for at least $4,500, 000 was indicated from thea ters and other locations in the United States and Canada. And the returns from movies, i &1 1 BIG HANDS - Former heavyweight champion Ingcmar Jo hansson holds a mighty big left hand belonging to Sonny Liston (top) as Johansson paid a visit to Liston's training camp in Aurora, III. After looking over Listons camp Inge- mar showed up in Elgin, 111., the training quarters of Cham pion Floyd Patterson.

Patterson and Liston will meet Tuesday, Sept. 25, at Chicago's Comiskey Park for the heavyweight championship of the world.-(UPl). radio, foreign kinescope, etc., will total another $640,000, they said.

Floyd hopes for an all-time record purse of $1,700,000. Both fighters were slated to motor into Chicago tonight in order to sleep here before go ing to the weigh-in Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., EDT, in the Ho tel Sheraton.

FREE PARKING Ashland Junior quarter back Doug Olsen led his fired up Southern Oregon squad to a 28-0 rout over the Chico State Wildcats here last Sat urday evening. The key factor in the open ing collegiate football win for the Raiders was the ability of the defense to contain the Chico offense. Defensive cap tain John Buck seemed to know just where the Wildcats would be and when they would be there. Al Akins, head coach, praised the pur suit on the quarterback used by defensive end Jess Munyon and a host of other Raiders. Al Allison, senior quarter back for the 'Cats, carried the ball four times and wound up with a -5-1 yards per carry. Akins also singled out the de fensive performance of Doyle Bransom, senior halfback and defensive safety. Bransom, a tremendously fast offensive back, is sacrificing his offens ive prowess to help the defens ive secondary, Olsen to Hughes Southern Oregon's first score came with 2:26 left in the first period on an eight yard pass from Olsen to Dave Hughes. Chico State was forc ed to punt and the Redmen took over on their own fifteen yard line. Kerm Bennett, on a quick opener, scooted 15 yards to the Southern Oregon 30 and another Raider first down. Then an Olsen to Howard Hartman pass netted 16 yards and the Raiders had another first down on their own 46. With the ball on the Chico 47, and a fourth and eight sit uation, freshman fullback Denny Ellis faked a punt and ran around left end for 23 yards and a first down. Three plays later the Raiders scored, capping a drive of 85 yards in 10 plays. Early in the second period, Chico punter George Calkins netted only 15 yards on a purit and the Raiders took ov er on the "Cat 35. An Olsen to Hartman pass netted 10 yards and a first down. Mike Grim es, on a quick opener picked up four to the 21 yard stripe. Then the Olsen to Hughes combination hit again, this time for 21 yards and a touch down. Olsen again kicked the point after and SOC went ahead 14-0 with 10:47 left in the half. Bennett Scores On a fourth down play, Cal kins punted from his own 25 to the Raider 45 where Bran som received the ball and ran it back for 10 yards to the Chico 45. Seven plays later, Bennett went over from the one yard stripe. Olsen again kicked the point after and the Raiders had a 21-0 lead at the half. Southern Oregon's last score came on a ten yard pass from Olsen to Hartman. The drive started on the Raider 24 yard stripe. The Olsen to Hartman combination netted 38 yards on three pass plays in the i drive. Coach George Maderos' out classed squad only threatened once in the encounter. The 'Cats were never inside the Raider 30 yard line. The only threat came on an Allison to Ed Burton pass from the SOC 37, which Burton dropped in the end rone. Olsen completed 19 of 23 passes for 195 yards and three touchdowns. The Raid ers travel to Portland next Friday and will meet Lewis and Clark Saturday at 1:30 p.m. STATISTICS: Ucatrrn Dlvlilon w.

Pasadena 0 Central Point Reynolds High school's Lancers, gaining well on off-tackle and reverse plays and controlling the ball, overcame the Crater Comets of Central Point on Saturday night in a non-league football game played at Troutdale. Crater held a 14 to 13 lead with 40 seconds left in the second quarter but the Lan cers were on top by halftime at 20 to 14. Third quarter score was 26 to 14. In the first period the clubs battled to a 7-each knot. Mike Glincs, who missed the Crater season opener be cause of illness, threw passes for all three Comet touch downs. He hit Paul 'Bransom for 27 yards, Joe McCalvy for 14 yards and to Darryl Sum merfield for 23 and the scores. Glines ran two extra points and passed to Bransom for another. Whitehead Scores Whitehead ran 17 yards for the first Reynolds touchdown and Ron Dappen toed the first of three conversion points. Crater responded with the Glines to Bransom TD throw Kitchen went the last yard for the second Lancer TD to cap a 66 yard drive that gave his club a 13 to 7 edge. The Comets came back again after Gary Wald recovered a Reyn olds fumble. The Glines to McCalvy pass paid off and Glines ran his second bonus for the Crater lead. Reynolds capitalized on a Summerfield fumble on the Crater 23-yard line to go ahead for good. Gary Thomp son cracked over from the one. 75-Yard Driv.

Crater moved the ball when it had it, led by the passing of Glines and running of Sum merfield, but had troubles in the defensive line. Ross Burd turned in good work al de fensive end and Ray White and Denny Reyerson in back ing up the line. Reynolds led in first downs 16 to seven and in net yardage from scrimmage 365 to 183.
