Cbamp Meet imfam "Boner" Ups Odds For Rock By JACK CL'HDY I'nltrd Frew Sporti Writer NEW YORK (UP) The "boner" postponement that sends Rocky Murciano end Archie Moore into the ring tonight for their heavy weight championship fight left the odds unchanged at 4-1 but may boost the gate toward $900,000. With the weather lid lilted by a foiecast of "cool and fair," offi cials of the International Boxing Club figured today's rush of ticket hiivuM mlztit swell the crowd at Venltee Stadium to 70.000. Fresh sales were In the' ratio of nearly 6-1 to refunds. Despite challenger Moore s nervousness during J uesnay s pny sical examination and tho general belief that the 24-hour delay would bother him more than the "Ice cold chnnipion," the betting price remained suite. Unbeaten Marclano and the 38 vcnr-old lluht heavyweight cham pion were slated for another physi cal exam today,; but they need not undergo , the oroeaj- oi onouicr weigh-in. Their respective trainers pointed out that the weights Tuesday Rocky 188', and Archie 188 were about wtint was expected. DKFKRRKt Muny boxing men figured pro moter Jim Norrls had punco a prize boner" Tuesday when he de ferred tho flKht 24 hours because of a bad-weather threat that never materialized. He announced tno washout at 10 a.m., but less than an hour later the skies were clear ing and Hurricane lone veered out to sea. It was the first time an Important title bout had been post poned before the welgh-in. Norrls denied any boner. He ex plained: "I would do it again. We had no choice. Forecasts from all weather bureaus government, Navy and flying fields were hopelessly gloomy. And we were being bombarded by railroads and all- companies for Instructions whether to start their special fight trains and planes for New York." Before tho box-offices reopened this morning, Norrls said the ticket sale was slightly more than WOO, 000. He expected a rush today and until fight-time tonight at the sta dium for medium-priced 120 and 30 tickets. In addition, 8,000 gen eral admission Is scats will go on sale at the stndlum nt 7 p.m. STARTING TIME Tonight's starting time was set back 15 minutes to 10:45 p.m. to avoid conflict with the regularly scheduled Wednesday night home TV scrap between middleweight ouuu.v vjkva aim wtuigin vuiuuwi at Mlnml Beach. There will be no home telecast of the Mnrclano-Moore bout, but H will be broadcast nationally over ABO networks and to several for eign countries. Should Moore's long, solid left labs and stunning "sneaker" rihts achieve an upset victory to night, a private contract provides that he must make his first de fense against Rocky in a return bout next June, It would bring his 10-ycar rocord toTJl'M-S.

Theoretically, the erosion Is sup posed to have set In on Marclano, too, at 31 physically, spiritually and mentally although not to any great degree. Under normal circumstances. The Rock might have had fo light off complacency In the sixth de fense of the title, the second this year. Building the fight, In what prob ably has been the finest one-man ballyhoo campaign In history, Moore took that problem off the champion's hands. It Is extremely difficult for the soft-spoken Marciano to put the rap on anybody, especially on op ponent he respects, but there Isn't any question that he has been riled by Moore's Jibes. "I'll be lookln' to hurt him," he remarked after a workout at Gros singer, in which h never looked so good. It's all right for Marclano to say that he hasn't minded all the things Moore has said about him everything up to dlsectlng the Block Buster. "What's the difference," he, tells the ordinary Interviewer, "as long as It helps the gate?" But those closest to Marclano know he Is seething inwardly. It was when his old pals of the Brockton street corner asked, "Yuh ain't ascared to fight this guy, are you. Rock?" that Marci ano would have signed for the match even had another challeng er been more acceptable to Al Weill. "I want this guy bad," The Rock tells Intimates. Circling among those called Into the room while Marclano is being rubbed they are the ones he likes to talk to you hear other little. ' remarks dropped by the doe-eyed Italian which give you a good Idea of his frame of mind. Such as: "Tills guy is talking himself Into the worst licking of his life. People have to eat words. I'd like to catch him with his mouth open." When Tony Oalento remarked that Marclano should talk more for business purposes. The Rock observed, "Those who talk the most usually do the least, Oalento didn't get very far, Moore Is an- PHOTOSTATS Wa copt ttnjf thlnf- Pholm, Mirrlagi Liceiuei. fitrlh Cert 1 1 let, t, tic. LEO'S CAMERA SHOP 834 Main Phone 2-3331 other Galento with less talent for words." - Marciano makes no effurt to dis guise his bitter disappointment at not being accepted as a popular champion. This principally is due to1 incredibly stupid public rela tions which sees a heavyweight champion of the world, with every requisite for acclaim, carefully screened from newspapermen while in training and hidden away between fights. ' Moore, despite his ancientness. Is the first challenger who has not had to be built up for Marcl ano. The old bloke behind the goatee- is given an excellent ohance by not a . few, and this pleases The Rock no end So Marclano sees Archie Moore as the medium through which he can accomplish two things shut up a character who charged he was being avoided and gain be luted recognition. Chatting with - Rocky Marciano, you feel as though he would like In Rnv' "I'll slick this old guy up Into the cheaper seats and then maybe somebody will recognize me on tile street." Worry Bug Settles In Uclan Camp LOS ANGELES M The worry bug settled down on the UCLA foot ball team Wednesday, specifical ly at the Jinxed right guard posi tion, and heightened an observa tion made by an expert following the Bruin victory over a green Texas AiiM team. "UCLA has a good team, a po tentially fine team. But it does nave several weak spots which could be exploited by a good split T team." The expert must remain urildent. tiled, by request, but the broad Inference was that against Mary land Saturday the Pacific Coast eleven will be meeting a good split T machine. And Texas AIM, as of this early date, with a host of sophomores In responsible positions, was not yet a good spllt-T outfit. It is no secret that one position, right guard, may be exploited by the Terrapins at College Park in their major engagement with UCLA. First Don Shinnick, 235-pound fullback converted to guard, in jured a rib against the- Aggies, and re-injured It In practice Mon day. Coach Red Sanders installed sec ond string Tom Thaxter, 187, at the spot. Tuesday Thaxter cracked a bone in his right hand and will miss action for six weeks. . Sanders named third st'dng Esk er Harris. 176, either to start or to relieve sninnick In the event lie sees limited action.
