Floyd Patterson
Refuses Torres
Loan Request
Boston (UPB Former heavy
weight champion Floyd Pat
terson reportedly has refused
to lend Jose Torres $100,000
so he can take a crack at Paul
Pender's share of the world's
middleweight championship.
The Boston Traveler Wed
nesday quoted Torres as say
ing, "My friend let me down.
1 had thought he was my
friend, but no more. He let
me down."
Cus D'Amato, manager of
both Torres and Patterson,
had asked Patterson for the
money as a guarantee to Pend
er for the proposed Nov. 15
title bout.
The fight was canceled Mon
day when Torres, a native of
Puerto Rico, could not gel up
the money.
Torres said, "Cus asked Pat
terson to loan him the money
and Floyd said he was not in
terested. Even when Cus of
fered him a piece of my con
tract, Floyd said he was not
interested. I thought Floyd
was my friend, but no more."
Government Seeks
Truce in NCAA's
Dispute With AAU
By JOHN GRIFFIN
New York - (UPD - The U.S.
government has proposed a
"truce" in the sports war be
tween the National AAU and
the NCAA that would allow
the best American athletes to
compete in the 1964 Olympic
games in Tokyo, it was learn
ed today.
One source insisted that the
truce, which would last until
Nov. 1, 1964, has been agreed
upon after a high-level meet
ing in Washington within the
past month.
However, Donald Hull, ex
ecutive director of the AAU
(Amateur Athletic union),
while admitting that the truce
had been "proposed," said
agreement had not been
reached but indicated it still
is under consideration.
Control At Stake
At stake is the dispule be-

twecn the AAU and the
NCAA (National Colleg i a t e
Athletic association) is control
of amateur sports competition
in this country. At this time,
the AAU is recognized by the
various international federa
tions which rule the various
sports as the growing body of
amateur athletics in the
united states. The AAU is
the only body now empower
ed to certify U.S. athletes for
international c o m p e t ition,
such as the Olympic games.
However, the NCAA, lash
ing out at the AAU's conduct
of sports, has recently moved
to set up national federations
in track, basketball, baseball
and gymnastics. The AAU has
threatened to outlaw athletes
who compete in non-AAU
sanctioned meets; the NCAA
has similarly threatened to
outlaw athletes who compete
in events not sanctioned by
the federations.
Caught In the middle of the
dispute, U.S. athletes current
ly face being outlawed by one
group or the other - with pos
sible loss of their amateur
certification to compete in the
'64 Olympic games.

The Pirates, carrying the
j Rogue league colors, and Rid

standard bearer, contend Fri
day night at Riddle for the
District 6 A-l title, held tor
three seasons by the Buc
caneers. Williams, who pulled knee
ligaments in last week's fray
with Sacred Heart, likely will
see some action. Consbruck
has a charley-horse. Whether
he'll play is still doubtful,
Coach Jack Woodward said.
Williams probably will start
but probably will not be at
full strength. His alternates
may be Ken Hawkins and
Rick Dorman. Hawkins op
erates better with the T for
mation and Dorman with the
single wing.
If Consbruck can't go.
Woodward may run right half
veteran Dave Johnson at left
half and use Dale Sauer at Ihe
right halfback. Sauer is one of
the Pirates who have come
along in late season.

j Along with Its good offense,
i Riddle also has defensive
might. It's chiefly in the per

i Jay Ball, Ira Nichols and Dave
Clark. Roberts and Nearing,
210 pounders, are reported to
be the only "big" men on the
club.
Phoenix, which shared the
1961 stale A-2 co-championship
with Myrtle Point as the
result of a tie game in a
snowstorm finale at Medford,
has been somewhat inconsist
ent this fall in acquiring a
season standing of six wins,
one loss and one tie. But if
has come along in late season
and has developed a more
versatile offense than utilized
by the titular team. It can still
fall back on the solid single
wing but now has become
basically a T formation team.
Phoenix has run up 230
points this fall to rivals' 61.
The Pirates won 33 to 7 from
Oakland, 55 to 0 from Rogue
River, 28 to 7 from Illinois
Valley, 47 to 13 from Lake-
view, 21 to 7 from Henley and
39 to 7 from Sacred Heart.
They tied Phoenix 0 to 0 and
lost to St. Mary's 20 to 7.
"We're looking for a lot of
trouble," said Woodward of
the Riddle game. Riddle,
which compiled a 7-1 record,
has a slrong running and pass
ing threat. Speed and aggres
siveness are features of the
Irish crew.
