Cassius Clay Gains
Unpopular Decision
By JACK CUDDY
New York (UPI) M. '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

his next fight to be with
heavyweight champion Sonny
Liston for the title.
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.
Because of the sellout at
the Garden, both fighters will
receive much more than their
guarantees when the financial
reports come in from the
theater television, Markson
said.
Clay is guaranteed $20,000
with the privilege of 30 per
cent of all net income from
the gate and theater tele
vision. Jones gels a guaran
tee of $15,000 with a 25 per
cent privilege.

Rogue Yacht clubs second
sailboat racing program of
the season will be held on
Sunday, March 17, at Emi
grant lake.
; Activity . will begin al
1 p.m.
Steve Bornett was first in
last Sunday's racing in an
enterprise class boat. De-
Wayne Gler, a Sea Scout, was
second in a lightning. Jess
Calvert was third in a lido
class boat.
Winds last Sunday were
strong,- gusty and chilly but
provided some spectacular
sailing for the skippers and
spectators.
Bornett and his father. Dr.
Vaughn Bornett of Southern
Oregon college emerged as a
duo to be watched. With
Steve as skipper and his
father as crew of their boat
their cra:i soundly defeated
the whole fleet, including Au
brey Nash, last year's cham
pion. Hare, Performance
Rogue Yacht members said
thav the two treated Hie club
lo "the rarely seen perform
ance of the perfect teamwork
of skipper, crew and boat
that resulted in keeping thi-ir
boat in frequent and long
planing runs, quickly placing
them far In the lead.
Because of the tricky wind
and hick of numdati ry safety
equipment, no races were
held for el loro class. Skip
pers of these bonis had to be
content with playing tug and
follow the leader around
docks and floats.
Unc crewman had more
than his spirits dampened
when he misunderstood his
skipper's intentions. He was
busy setting the spinnaker
pole when Hie skipper decid
ed to come about. Crewman
and pole were neatly deposit
ed in the middle of Emigrant
lake. '

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. -
