OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN We Hurricane Blows Out Ring Meet " NEW YORK Ml The heavy weight championship tight between Titleholder Rocky Marciano and challenger Archie Moore was post poned Tuesday because of Hurrl ' cane lone. Weather permitting, the- 15-round bout will be held Wednesday night in the Yankee Stadium. If weather conditions still are unsuitable, it will be held Thursday. t Postponements are nothing new for Marciano. His second fight with EsEard Charles was set back twice by rain last September. Then Rocky knocked out Charles in the eighth round. The announcement of the post ponement came In a terse state ment from Jim Norris, president of the International Boxing Club. He said the fight was postponed "for 24 hours. Meanwhile, the New York meteorologist said the hurricane would hit the city only a glancing blow and Were snould be clear iiig weatner by late afternoon. Ernest J. Christie said the brunt of the storm would pass well east of the city, with some rain and high winds here but not the full force originally expected. Harby Markson, managing di rector of tile IBC, said, "the fore cast for Weanesday is grand. Tues day night's expectations were wav ering, and we felt we couldn't take a cuance on waiting it out., The postponement means that the bout Wednesday night will start U:45 p.m. (EST), 15 minutes later than originally scheduled, . rtw reason is that the IBC is committed to another television network light in Miami between middlewcig'.its Bobby Dykes and George Johnson, starting at p.m. 'EST). The over-riding reason for the postponement, despite forecasts of clearing later Tuesday evening, was the matter oi tne gate. Markson said, the advance sale of tickets already approaches $670, 000 but he expected $150,000 addi tional at the gate with good weath er. ' Norris said also that he felt it would be unfair to out-of-town Jans not to make an early decision in view oi the uncertain conditions. He. said, even in case of clear ing, tine stadium would be uncom fortable for spectators, with grounds muddy and seats wet. EUGENE, Ore.
