'1st n Square Garden representa- tives want deflated Cassius Clay and mart, ed Doug Jones to fight ag- 'n in June at Yankee Stadium because of the vegetable-accompanied controversy over Clay s un popular decision Wednesday night. Whether or not the re match is made, the fans' thun- dering disapproval of gaseous Cassius in the Garden earned one great benefit for man kind: Clay promises never to predict the round for a knock out again. . Unbeaten but badly tarnish ed Cassius of Louisville, Ky., not only failed to knock out New Yorker Jones in his pre dicted fourth round or any other round; but when the unanimous 10-frame decision for Cassius was announced, the 18,732 jammed fans al most blew the roof off with their roars of disapproval. Some of the more irate, during the five-minute dem onstration, threw apple cores, fragments of oranges and sandwich buns into the ring along with cigar butts and even a few coins. . Writers Favors Jonas A United Press Internation al poll of 25 writers in the Garden showed 13 who had mustachioed, 188-pound Jones winning the fight against tall er Clay, 202V4. Ten had Clay ahead and two scored the fight even, Clay had gone into the ring favored at 3-1. The United Press Interna tional favored Clay on a rounds basis, 6:3-l because of his long-armed jabs and straight right punches to the head, although it seemed in the early rounds thai the ag gressive Jones might knock him out. It was an excellent fight. All three ring officials ulso voted for Clay as follows: Referee Joe Loscolzo, 8-1-1; Judge Frank Forbes, 5-4-), and Judge Ar'lc Aidala, 5-4-1. No Knockdowns Cassius, 21, who scored his 18th straight victory as a pro fessional but had his consecu- tivc kuyo string snapped at nine straight, loudly an nounced that he still wants Steer Roping Contest Held Dee Whittlngton, Madras, won the calf roping and Stan Coolcy, Montague, Calif., and Delmar Botts, Etna, Calif the team steer roping last Sunday at the Midway arena Rich Vrcdcnbcrg, Myrtle Creek, was second, and Botts third in calf roping.

There were no knockdowns in Wednesday night's fight and the only blf od was a trickle from Clay's nose in the 10th round.

(UPI) Jackson, West Pace Star Team New York - (IIPII - Lucius Jackson of Pan American and Hershell West of Grambling both already stamped with the pro label, headed the 1063 United Press International small college All - America basketball team announced Wednesday. Jackson, a giant 6 - foot 0 Junior center from San Mar cos, Tex., and West, a smooth shooting forward from Hay- ville, La., were the most popu lar choices on the mythical team, picked for UPI by the same 35 coaches who helped rate the nation's small college teams every week of the sea son. Roger Strickland of Jack sonville, a versatile player equally at home up front or in the backcourt; Al Thrasher of national small college champion Wittenberg, and Jerry Sloan of Evansville round out the first team. Strickland, a 6-foot-5 play-maker-scorer who averaged 24.4 points a game, is the only repeater from last year's team. All the other members of the 1962 season team, in cluding Zelmo Beaty and Charles Hardnett - both of whom went on to the pro ranks - since have graduated. Thrasher and Sloan are not the scorers that Jackson, West and Strickland are, but both possess all the skills a coach dreams of. - Scflond Team Keith StrouD.
