Each was a pre-tourney favorite to reach the tournament. How ever, the Tornadoes got there the hard way.

Their April 10 Bout Chances Grow More Remote Chicago-dTD-The betting to day was not who would win, but whether the Sonny Liston- Floyd Patterson would come off as scheduled in Miami on April 10. Chances of the heavyweight title match meeting its Florida date grew Increasingly remote over the week end. Jack Nil on, the champion's advisor, said it would have to be post poned because of Liston's I knee injury. Liston, limping slightly and . obviously overweight, arriv-1 ed in Chicago Sunday for a 1 week's rest and a doctor's ex-1 amination of his left knee. It I was injured orginally in swinging a golf club and Nil-1 ! on said it buckled Wednesday! i when the champion threw a ! left hook at the punching bag. "We're primarily concern ed now with whether there I will have to be an operation," said Nilon. "We just don't know and nobody could ex- ' pect him to fight the way it is now."
