But he tough man. He hurt me." Manager Marv Jenson, Full mer's pilot, said the rematch has been agreed on and that it will be in either Bozeman, Mont., or Las Vegas, Nev., Jan. 19. However, Tiger's manager, Jersey Jones, may have something to say about that. It s possible Jones may want to move the bout to the East. Tiger In Command Tiger was in such complete command of the fight Tues day night that many believe the Nigerian would win a re turn match by a knockout. "But I don't believe that," said Tiger. "He's too tough to knock out." A crowd of about 15,000, paying approximately $150, 000, sat in balmy weather in Candlestick Park to see the carnage. Through the first eight rounds it was fairly even as Palmer Has $16,000 Golf Money Margin Dunedin, Fla. -llPII- Arnold Palmer has opened a $16,000 lead over Gene Littler in their battle for pro golf's money winning title.

Father-in-Law Of Fullmer Dies San Francisco - rUPD - Roy Holt, father-in-law of defeated middleweight champion Gene Fullmer, died early today after a heart attack. Holt, an employe of the Kcnnecott Copper Corp., lived in South Jordan, Utah. He and many other members of Full mer's family came to San Francisco for the Dick Tiger fight Tuesday night. His daughter, Dolores, Fullmer's wile, said he began suffering in the second round and was taken to Franklin hospital after the bout was over. both battlers set a furious pace. But then Tiger, a one time delivery boy in Nigeria took over. He went headhunt Ing, and by the time the 10th round was over, Fullmer was bleeding from the nose, both eyes and his mouth. There wasn't a single knock down in the bout, although Fullmer twice slipped to the floor when missing punches and once was wrestled to the canvas by Tiger. Turns Into Rout But it turned into a rout in the. late going with Fullmer stili borring in, although near ly blinded by the blood from his eyes. The outcome never was in doubt after the 12th round and referee Frankie Carter had it 10-1 for Tiger under California's system of scoring. Judge Vern Bybee 7-5, and United Press Inter national 9-4, all for the new king. In this bout Tiger received only $25,000 plus expenses. Fullmer got 45 per cent of vhe gate plus 66 2-3 per cent of the take from the theater tele vision. In the return bout each man will receive 30 per cent of the take. Fullmer, unable to reach Tiger's head, concentrated mostly on the body and as a result the champion had hardly a mark on him. "It'll take six stitches in each eye to fix up Gene," said Jenson. So the Jan. 19 date for the rematch looked a bit on the doubtful side.

" called the little fellow above the throaty roar of the fight mob as Gene Fullmer took a heavy battering from Dick Tiger, who not only wrested away the WBA crown from Gene but handed him one of his worst beatings. DeLaun kept rooting for the beaten champ, anyway, until the unanimous decision was announced for Tiger. And then in the ball park dressing room, Fullmer took his son, brought him close to his battered features and kiss ed him. "You can't be sorry for anybody when he Is beaten by a better man," said Fullmer, who took his defeat In his usual stole manner. "Tiger was faster than I thought he was." While Fullmer talked soft ly in the dressing room, Tiger was a smiling, almost thy winner in the visiting team's clubhouse. "I'm the champ now,' said the former door-to-door sales man of toys and ladles' Jewel ry, "and I think I'll beat Fullmer again in our re match." While Tiger left the ring looking unmarked as when he had entered it 15 rounds ear lier, Fullmer had deep cuts over both his eyes and an other on the top of his head. Manager Marv Jcnson, who hnd opposed Gene's taking on Tiger, said each wound would require six stitches. "Tiger did a great Job," Jen son snid.

(UPD Be wilderment and shock today gripped this small town, whose only bank apparently was broken. People, wondering how It happened, made quick audits of their pocket money while examiners poured over the books of the uninsured Gre sham State Bank. If preliminary estimates of losses were accurate, State Banking Director Ralph Mis ko said, "all the bank's capi tal, surplus, individual profit and fidelity bond monies would be wiped out." Townsfolk also prepared the funeral Thursday for Ar thur Walford, 73, a devout church leader and bank offi cer for a quarter-century. Takes Own Life Walford, who was cashier, took his own life with a shot gun Monday in the back room of the bank, as a state exami ner arrived at the front door of the Institution for a rou tine check of the books. Gladys Lindstrom, editor of the Gresham Gazette, de scribed the shattering effect the losses may have on the hamlet. "Eighty per cent of the people in town had their life savings in the bank, and a good 40 per cent of these are elderly persons," Mrs. Lind strom said. "All the business places in town had money in the bank. There's no cash on hand. Stores will be hard pressed to pay their employees." "None of us believe It, but I guess it's true," she added. Pastor Disbelieving The Rev. Laare Eschliman, pastor of the Presbyterian church where Walford taught Sunday school, sang in the choir and kept accounts, was disbelieving. "No one can imagine Art would do anything wrong," he said. I can picture the strain upon a man, causing him to take his own life, but I can't imagine Art taking money from the bank." Walford lived in an unpre tentious home, drove an older car and generally lived mod estly. Bank president David Yung, 95, said he always had considered Walford a man of fine character who was kind to others throughout his life.

Reed said the objection "doesn't do Woody credit, is a serious discredit to the game, and we have a conference agreement that coaches will not use film to discuss or dis pute official decisions." "Officials have to make a split - second decision, and don't have the benefit of film," Reed added. Northwestern coach Ara Parseghian said Logan wa interferred with on the play in question.
