The lop knockout artists are welterweight champion Emile Griffith, who meets Luis Rodriguez; featherweight champ Davey Moore who fi nally let Sugnr Ramos catch up with him, for a price; and Battling Torres who meets Roberto Cruz for the vacated junior welterweight title. Griffith remained a slight choice to defeat Rodriguez and retain his title In the na tionally televised (ABC) bout. But there was a good deal of wagering at 8-5, take your choice, Indicating many feel the fight is a tossup.

Shasta will be the setting this coming week end, March 16 and 17, for the 1983 Far West and Pacific Northwest Regional Tryouls for the U.S. Olympic ski team. Transfer of the event to Mt. Shasta from the previously scheduled location in the Sugar Bowl near Donner Summit resulted from scarcity of snow on the other Sierra slopes to the south, according to Robert Vaughn, manager of the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl. Shasta's exceptionally good snow cover of the past winter also has brought it the best skiing season of its history, with record and near-record crowds on the lows and slopes since Thanksgiving.
