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.

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

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.
