With the game at Central Liston Vs. Johnson Fight Seen By HENRY W. THORNBERRY London - (UPD - A big - time English group announced to day it was "working" on a bid to match Sonny Liston and light heavyweight king pin Harold Johnson for Lis ton's world heavyweight title here next year. Both Liston and Johnson now reside in Philadelphia. "We've heard that Johnson has expressed some interest in our proposal to stage the first-ever world heavyweight title fight here," a spokesman for the Curzon House gam bling club said. The club wants Liston to put his title on the line for 250,000 pounds ($700,000) with the profits going to the Imperial Cancer Research Fund and an airborne forces' charity. "We've been told thai John son s asking price is very high, but he has shown an interest," the spokesman said. "He definitely wants to fight Liston and we're prepared to make an offer. There's noth ing in the rules here about staging a world title fight without a Briton in one cor ner." The club proposed that the fight be staged at Wembley's outdoor Olympic Stadium, which seals 80,000 and has room for 20,000 standees. "We have considered the matter carefully and can put up more than 500,000 pounds ($1400,000)," said spokesman Bob Barnelt - a man who claims to have won almost that much in "breaking" one of the Monte Carlo casinos way back. The Just - opened Curzon House club covers a half-acre of ground in the heart of London's Mnyfair district. The building and garden space are reportedly worth 1 mil lion pounds. Bridge, poker and chemmy are played there dny and night, and hundreds of thousands of pounds cross the tables almost every night of the week. Drivers Slowed By Wet Track Dick Florey, Rick Barnes.

Ohio State Coach Eyes Oregon Game With Awe Columbus, Ohio (UPD Ohio State's injury-riddled football team can recoup some lost prestige this week end against highly-rated Oregon in one of the season's final inter- sectional contests before the bowl games. But Coach Woody Hayes of Ohio State said nothing about a victory in his weekly meet ing with newsmen Monday. He was more worried about injuries to key starters and getting hia team in shape to play. 'We realize we're meeting one of the finest teams in the country," Hayes said of the Ducks from Eugene, Ore. 'They're sound defensively, have an explosive offense nd are an extremly well- coached team." The Buckeye coach agreed with his scouting reports on Oregon that summarized the Ducks as "one of the finest teams in the country." As for his own team, Hayes commented, "I can't ever re call having more injuries than this season. Definitely out of action this week, and probably for the season, will be speedy half back Bobby Klein, who was injured in the 10-7 victory over Indiana Saturday. A doubtful starter was quarter- Celtics Off To Another Fast Start By United Press International Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics both are reaching high, and the combination may very well lead to a fifth straight National Basketball association championship for the Celts.

Sporting a record of seven victories in seven tries and on the high road toward the Rose Bowl, coach John Mc Kay's Trojans received a total of 311 points in the weekly voting of the 35 coaches who make up the UPI Board of Coaches.

Alabama, which has an 8-0 record, received 13 picks for No. 1 spot and a total of 299 points. Third place Mississippi SPORTS PARADE Sport Writer United Presi Buenos Aires (UPD Fay Crocker, the 1955 U. S. Wom en's Open golf champion, hopes today that hanging by her neck twice a day will permit her to go back to the ladies professional golf tour again next year. It's been 16 long months since the dark-haired Fay left the United States and return ed to her home in Montevi deo, Uruguay. The pain of a pinched nerve in her neck and the terror that she might not regain the use of her numbed hands drove her back to her native heath. "I was scared," she said while attending the Interna tional Golf and Canada Cud championships at the Buenos Aires Jockey club course. "I couldn t even pass a butter plate." Exhibits Tenacity But the tenacity which made her one of the top win ners among the lady pros for seven years on the U. S. tour saved her again. I ve been hanging by mv neck for 20 minutes twice a day," she grinned. "Actually, all they do is put me in trac tion and they've been increas ing the weight gradually to relieve the pressure on the nerve. The doctor says that in six or eight months I may be able to return to golf." there is no Question in Fay's mind but what those seven years on the tour caused her condition. "I've been playing golf for 40 years, ever since I was a wee one," she explained. "Add to that the strain on your sacroiliac from driving 300,000 miles during those seven years I was on tour in the stales and you've got the answer.'' But the bouncing, energetic Fay hasn't been silting idle while being treated for her neck ailment. "My folks had a big house LININGER'S READY FOR . . . Call CRUSHED MEDFORD had three first place votes and 250 points and fourth place Wisconsin had two first place votes and 240 points. Points are distributed on a 10-9-8-7-8- 5-4-3-2-1 basis beginning with 10 points for a first place choice. Wisconsin, of course, rose from No. 7 to No. 4 on the strength of its 37-6 victory over Northwestern, which was the nation's leading team in the previous week's ratings, Northwestern fell all the way from the No. 1 ranking to a tie for No. 7 with Minnesota. Southern California is the fourth team which has topped the UPI ratings so far this season. Previously ranked No 1 in the nation were Ohio State, Texas and Northwest ern. The Trojans defeated Duke, 14-7; Southern Methodist, 33 3; Iowa, 7-0; California, 32-6; Illinois, 28-18; Washington, 14-0, and Stanford, 39-14. They have UCLA and Notre Dame remaining on their schedule.

Coffey earned the ball 14 times for 135 yards against California on Saturday to bring his total for the year to 411 - an average of 5.9 yards per carry. Dave Mathieson of Wash ington State leads in total of fense with 919 yards and in passing with 1,018; end Hal Bedsole of USC is the top scorer with 50 points; Hugh Campbell of WSU has caught the most passes, 42 for 608 yards; and Ernie Jones of USC is the punting leader with an average of 40.2 yards per kick. and it's too large for us any more," she bubbled. "So I've started a primary school in the big house. I knew three or four women who had kin dergartens and nursery schools. So I got them to gether and we founded the school. "It is a private school and named, quite naturally, St. Andrew's School." Quite natural because St. Andrew is the patron saint of golfers. And Fay has been golfing since she can remember. Well, too, because no amateur in South America ever compiled the type of record which Fay did when her family lived in Argentina. From 1932 to 1953 she played in 18 Argentine Women s golf championships. She was in the finals all 18 times and won 14 of them. Bobby Jones was the one who made her set her sights on the states. "I played an exhibition with him in 1945 and was lucky enough to shoot a 69," she re called. "He told my father I should be able to go well on the U. S. Ladies pro tour." Fay gave the U. S. Amateur a couple of shots on vacations from her job in the U. S. Embassy and then chucked the job in 1953 and jMned the U. S. pro tour in January of 1954. 'But I really miss that United States.'" she sighed. And if the doctor is right, I'm going to be back there one of those days playing that circuit again. I'll lell you one thing, 1 can hardly wait."
