DEMONSTRATES Cassius Clay, left, uses one of his com panions in New York to show why heavyweight champion Sonny Liston abandoned a proposed title fight with Clay next month. Clay said, "That big ugly bear is afraid of me." (UPI) Sonny Liston Switching To Promotion at Garden New York - WPP - Heavy weight champion Sonny Lis ton was scheduled to begin arranging his big switcn to day from independent promo tion to that of Madison Square Garden. The switch, Liston said, would entail abandonment of his proposed Sept. 30th de fense against young Cassius Clay at Philadelphia, and the arrangement, instead, of a De cember defense against some lesser contender on home tele vision for promoter Harry Markson of the Garden. That December contender may be Ernie Terrel, the Chi cago giant. If Sonny does swing over to the Garden, it could be one of the most momentous moves in boxing history a move that might begin boosting the Garden back to the big-fight promotional supremacy it en joyed until 1956. Scared to Death Top contender Clay, visit ing in New York, said he was grievously disappointed be cause of Liston's withdrawal from the September fight. "just because he's scared to death of me." Liston countered with, "I hope big mouth Clay doesn't fight anybody till I get nun next year because the first good man he meets will knock his head off." It was Liston, himself, who announced in Philadelphia that he planned to visit Mark son and his Garden match maker, Teddy Brenner, in New York today and discuss possibilities of a home-televi sion defense possibly at Mi ami Beach, Fla., or Las Ve gas, Nev., in December. And it was also Liston who announced he was postponing his proposed defense against 21-year-old Clay at Philadel phia's Municipal Stadium un til next year because o "tax problems." Total gate, tele vision and other receipts from the Clay fight were expected to approximate $7 million. Plays Diagrammed In Post Law Suit MElrORiWrRIBUNB siPcoflRirs Famed Diamond Lake Productive Fishery Medford Natators To Vie in GP Meet Portland - After several disappointing years at famed Diamond lake, anglers have found the 1963 trout season one of the most productive on this lake since the waters were chemically treated back in September of 1954. According to Jerry Bauer, district fishery biologist for the game commission, an esti mate of the total fishery since the season opened through July 15 shows around 45,000 anglers took more than 126,. 000 trout from this 3.000-acre lake. Although numerous large trout were taken, the average for all fish caught has been just under one pound in weight. The bulk of the trout taken has been from 13 to 18 inches in length. Bauer said that the excel lent fishery this year can probably be credited to the changeover last year from the Kamloops strain of rainbow trout to the native strain rain bow. Following only one year in the lake, the young resi dent rainbows have shown ex ceptional growth and have provided anglers with almost 97 per cent of the total catch. The Kamloops rainbow are still the larger fish, but Bauer said the younger natives are rapidly catching up and many were pushing the 14-inch mark by mid-July. With the more easily caught .stive rainbow available, still- fishing has gained in popu larity among anglers and this method accounts for almost 47 per cent of the total catch. Trolling still remains the most popular and accounts for around 40 per cent of the to tal catch. Combination troll and still-fishermen took just over 12 per cent of the total fish caught. the minority and have report ed in with less than one per cent of the total fish taken. However, fly - angling has proved to be very productive with more than 2Vj fish per Play Day Thursday Medford park and recrea tion department annual play day will be held Thursday, Aug. 8, at Hawthorne park.

Atlanta-IUPll-Georgia coach Johnny Griffith, a prime wit ness in the $10 million libel suit Wallace Butts is pursuing against the Saturday Evening Post diagrammed plays Tues day which he said were the secrets allegedly given Ala bama coach Paul Bryant. Griffith drew the forma tions on a blackboard in fed eral court where the Post is attempting to prove to a jury the truth of an article carried in the magazine last spring. The Post said Butts gave the secrets to Bryant in a tele phone conversation accident ally overheard by Atlanta in surance man George Burnett. Griffith, who succeeded Butts as head coach of the University of Georgia when Butts was promoted to ath letic director, said he consid ered the information heipful to the Alabama team prior to the 1962 Georgia-Alabama game which Alabama, a 17 point favorite, won 35 to 0. Testified for Two Hours Griffith testified for two hours and 45 minutes in the federal courtroom crowded with some 200 spectators. He was the first of a num ber of coaches or assistants whom Post attorney Welborn Cody said he planned to call to the witness stand. Additionally, Cody said he planned to show movies at today's hearing of the game, the third session of the multi million dollar libel action. Griffith. 39, said that the information about the two for mations would have helped Alabama concentrate on Geor gia's key plays. Cody asked Griffith if the notes Burnett took of the two formations that Griffith con sidered vital. "Yes sir, they do," Grif fith replied. "They show both the formations we planned 'o use and did use." Admitted Loan However, Griffith, who ad mitted that Butts had loaned him money and had helped establish his career as a foot ball coach, said on cross ex amination by William Schroe- der. Butts' chief attorney, that the formations were widely used in the previous season of 1961 not only by Georgia but the other Southeastern conference teams. Butts, who resigned as ath letic director last February when publication of the Post story became imminent, has never denied that he made a telephone call to Bryant. But both he and Bryant, who has also sued the Post, have de nied that vital information was exchanged.
