AMANT Los Angeles-fflPD - Former featherweight champion Dav ey Moore, a classic little fight er who sometimes appeared invincible, died today of brain injuries sustained when he was knocked out by Sugar Ramos Thursday night. Moore, 29, champion for four years before he was de throned in one of the most bruising battles seen here in years, lapsed into a coma 40 minutes after the fight , and never regained consciousness. It was the second time Ra mos, 21, has been involved in a bout in which his oppon ent later died of brain in juries, according to Nat Fleischer's Ring Record book. Jose (Tiger) Blanco, a Cuban lightweight, died Nov. 9, 1958, of injuries suffered in a fight with Ramos in Ha vana the night before. Year after Paret'i Death Moore died exactly one year and one day after Benny (Kid) Paret suffered the same fate when he was dethroned in a welterweight champion ship bout with Emile Griffith in New York. Paret was knocked out in the 12th round of the bout March 24, 1962, and died April 3 without re gaining consciousness. Ironically, Griffith fought AUTO SPECIALS BONDED BRAKES 51-58 CHEV.

JACKSON Phone 773-6661 1 J 88 It SEARS ' V sA -j-q - DAVEY MOORE Injured Boxer Succumbs on the same card as Moore in the triple championship bout Thursday. He lost the title to Luis Rodriguez. Moore died at 2:20 a.m. PST at White Memorial hos pital. Suffering from "massive bruises" in the brain area, he succumbed little more than an hour after physicians re ported the fighter's pulse was weaker and his condition steadily deteriorating. A review Sunday pf taped television films of the Dodger Stadium bout showed that Moore's head fell back against the lower ringstand and the vibrating ring rope smacked back at his head, seemingly at the base of the skull. Probable Cause of Death The team of neurosurgeons from the hospital pinpointed that blow as the "major" probable cause of the bruise one inch across at the front stem of the brain. The doc tors said the blows he took from Ramos may have con tributed to his condition, but indicated he probably would have escaped major damage if his head hadn't been whip ped by the ringstrand. Moore was draped helpless on the ropes when the bell ended the 11th round of the fight. His manager, Willie Ketchum, waved in surrender to Referee George Latka and Latka declared Ramos the victor and new featherweight champion on a 10-round kayo under California rules. Moore, a 125-poundcr with a wedge-shaped torso and standing only 5 feet 3 inches, was revived in his corner and went to his dressing room un der his own power. He told sports writers, "this just wasn't my night." A short time later, he complained of head pains and lapsed into a coma.

Loyola's "Unwanteds" Overcome Cincinnati for NCAA Cage Toga By ROBERT WESTON Louisville, Ky.-fliPD-An All America forward who play ed only one year of high school basketball ... a short, butterball guard who looks too chubby to compete in anything more strcnilous than shuffleboard ... a guard who never played any position but center in high school . . . and two springy - legged high school teammates who jumped so high you'd swear they would scrape their knees on the hoop. Put them all together and you have the team being toasted today as the national collegiate basketball cham-pions-the Ramblers of Loyola of Chicago.

Guard Ron Miller was con sidered too short at 6-2 to play center, and because he never had played any other posi tion, most colleges turned thumbs down on him. Forward Jerry Harkncss played only one year in high school. That wasn't enough to convince most scouts he would be a good college pros pect. So all Harkness did was to go on and win recognition as an All-America. Writers and sportscasters who selected the NCAA all tournament team picked only one player from Loyola on their first unit. Hunter was placed on the first team along with Duke University's Art Heyman and three players from Cincinnati - Ron Bon- MH Track Aspirants Total 75 Some 75 applicants are now drilling for the Medford High school track and field season which opens on Saturday, March 30, with the Ore-Cal relays at Ashland.

Because of work on the track and on the football field, the Tornadoes did not get on the track until last week. They had been running in a six-foot wide area between the track and the plowed up football field which is being reseeded. The track was graded, har rowed and floated but trouble with rocks and with ruts made by cars and trucks de layed getting the oval in shape. About 30 trackmen began working out in December. There was a let-up in drills for a while, then activity was resumed around the first of February and the squad has grown since that time.
