LOUIS 141 Able Archie Moore, wearing bis new light heavyweight crown ai a jaunty im, now hurls a promise that carries . a cnHiicnge to omer nopeiuis in his 176-pound class: "I'm going to put some life Into the division. Any contender who deserves a chance will gel irom me." That was one of the tl"t state ments made by the 36-year-old St. Louis Negro last night as the new world lighlhcavy king. Only min utes belorc he had won a unani mous decision over Joey Maxim a thoroughly beaten but astound lngly game ex-champion. NO DOUBT There wasn't much doubt about who would be wearing the crown at fight's end by the time the batter ing fists of Moore had mauled Joey for seven rounds. Before the bout, Moore who weighed 172'i to Maxim's 174'a was an 8-5 favorite, with the odds shifting to 12-5 at fight tinre. Judge Fred Connell gave it to Moore. 87-63, and Judge Howard Hess saw it 82-68. Referee Harry Kessler alone had it surrisingly close. Repeatedly warning Moore to keep his punches up, but penal izing him only once, Kessler scored the fight 76-74. The Associated Press card had It 87-63 for Moore. APPROVAL The crowd of 12.610 fans that flocked to the arena and paid a gross gate of $89,487 for a new St. Louis record also shouted ap proval of the decision. After the seventh Moore just went through the formality o fighting the pre scribed 15 rounds. EAST, WEST TEAMS LOADED By BUSS NEWLAND ' SAN FRANCISCO Wl College football stars who will battle it out in the 28th annual East-West charity game here Dec. 27 began checking in Thursday. The 25-man squads comprise some of the lineet college senior players in the country. Brief practice is scheduled Sat urday. The teams will begin two-a-day workouts Monday. Eastern players will train at the University of Santa Clara, the Westerners at Stanford. Rival coaches huddle Wednesday to map attacks for the yearly clas Native Dancer Lags In Race for Record By JOHN CHANDLER (For Gayle Talbot) NEW YORK on Native Dancer Is the undefeated 1-year-old cham pion, but he's Kt to be one whale of a racehorse to earn more money in one year than Citation, which set the record with $700,470 in 1948. Alfred Vanderbilfs grey Juvenile star not only has to be mighty good, but he must remain sound and have a lot of racing luck. Native Dance in winning nine races this year earned (230,495, most ever stacked up by 2-year-old. Citation won eight of nine in his 1947 Juvenile year, and $155, 680. EASY DOES IT Trainer Bill Winfrey has Native Dancer in California, just taking It easy with others in Vanderbilt stable. Native Dancer probably won't begin his 3-year-old cam paign until April in New York. He wasn't nominated for the $100, 000 Santa Anita Derby. - In Citation's biggest year, asa 1-year-old. Ben Jones and son Jim 410 n it Iff Particularly In the 10th did Moore assert his punching super iority. He leaped out of a crouch and landed a smashing right I lull sent the 30-year-old Maxim reeling Into the ropes. Only Joey's abiliij to tie up his opponent kept him from suffering the second knock out of his 12-year career. That was the big question throughout the fight. How much can Maxim take? TAKFS IT He can take an amazing amount of punishment. He was hurt in every round after the s evenlh. And even in the first he was stag gered by a right and had to clinch to clear his head. In the eighth Moore opened a cut under Maxim's left eve. In the ninth blood spilled from a deep gash on Maxim's left check. He nnisned the 10th with a matching cut on the right cheek. rune and again Moore un leashed the full fury of almost a decade of frustration as the "un crowned champion," only to find Maxim still on his feet. Maxim shuffled into clinches, took lei t Jabs and tried unsuccessfully, to avoid Moore's jarring, sneaky rigm nand. THIRD TIME It was only the third title de fense for Maxim since the Cleve land Italian on the crown from Freddie Mills in 1S50. Moore, a contender for 10 years and No.l challenger for almost five, had been ignored until now as a poor drawing card. Maxim got sioo.ooo for the light under a contract guarantee. Receints Irom a nation-wiae tele cast were not disclosed, but little more than the title was left for Moore. For Archie, that was enough. ?.-S. :tt: sic played for the benefit of the local Shriners' Crippled Children's Hospital. BEADS EAST Clarence (Biggie) Munn of un defeated Michigan State, the top team in the annual Associated Press poll, heads the East's coach ing staff. He is assisted by Ray Eliot of Illinois and Dr. Eddie Anderson of Holy Cross. Munn, coach of the year in the AP poll, will use his highly successful single wing offense. The East shapes up as a hard hitting outfit, powered by some great running backs: fine passers and top receivers. Michigan State's my of the Calumet Farm started their star early, at Hialeah Park Feb. 2. Citation raced six times before heading into Kentucky and the Derby. He earned, in those six races, $84,225, including victories in the Flamingo and Chesapeake Stakes. Cuessirtr that Native Dancer's schedule :alls for the $25,000 Ex perimental Handicap and the $100,- 000 wood Memorial at Jamaica before the Derby, the Vanderbilt colt could go into the Louisville classic on about even terms with Citation in the bankroll battle. FIGURE TJP There are plenty of $100,000 races Id 1953 for Native Dancer to take a real crack at Citation's one-year earnings mark. The Wood Mem orial is one, upped to that figure for the first time. In winning the triple crown- Derby, Preakness and Belmont citation picked up $252,970 alone in 1S48.

His aides are Julie Sikes of Kansas and Chuck Taylor of Stanford. They'll match their squad, man for man, with the East. Odell's hist scattering T-iormation setup will be employed. Washington's two time Ail-American quarterback, Don Heinrich, has heen relieved of Army duties here long enough to train for and play in the game. LEADERSHIP Heinrich's leadership qualifica tions and his pass throwing are unquestioned. He'll have backfield suoDort of the kind coaches dream about, such as Oklahoma's All America. Bill Vessels; Nebraska's Bobby Reynolds and California's all purpose fullback, Johnny Ols- Z6vski. Sam Baker of Oregon State is another formidable runner.
