needed at least two points
for honorable mention.

from all opposing teams and
coaches for a total of 16
points. Tomlinson got 14
points and Hutchins and
Glines each 13. Pippin and
Chamberland each had 12.
Alvarez barely missed first
team choice. He had 11 points
to lead the No. 2 lineup.
There were no repeaters
from 1962 on the first team.
Alvarez and Miles were sec
ond team choices last year.
Hill was a first team choice
last season. Rich Bcnner,

tion last year at Grants Pass,

Clay-Johansson Fight Sought
New York - ill Pit - Cassius , night and who has been veil-
had a late start in conference
play this season because of a
broken wrist. He was one of
six who received honorable
mention.
The lop seven in the poll
were the top scorers in the
league.
Clay may have been booed
thunderously in his latest
fight, but the Louisville Lip
will be favored at 8-5 to beat
former heavyweight cham
pion Ingemar Johansson in
June or July, if that match
is made next week.
That's what an active book
maker forecast today.
Matchmaker Teddy Bren
ner of Madison Square Gar
den will fly to Sweden next
week in an attempt to arrange
for the Cassius-lngemar bout
at the Garden if Clay &
Co. have refused to accept a
return match with Doug Jones
of New York.
It was diminutive but dan
gerous Jones who lost an un
popular decision to Clay at
the Garden on Wednesday

ing for a return bout in which,
Jones said, "I'll knock him
out."
Canada, Swedes
Vie in Hockey
. Stockholm - lUPB - Canada
and Sweden meet tonight in
a 'grudge' match which could
settle the World Ice Hockey
championships and has the
usually phlegmatic Swedes in
a frenzy.
The Canadians trail Swe
den by one point after five
games, nine to ten. Russia has
eight and the Czechs seven.
Each team has two games left.
The United States finally
got its first victory of the
championships Thursday
when it beat West Germany,
8-4.
