PAGE FOURTEEN YoYo, Welters line Ring Card Seattle's YoYo Lewis, who lays claim to the Northwest Welter weight crowo. makes a return ap pearance before Klamath Falls tight fans tonight at the armory as promoter Mack Llllard presents his second boxing card ol the season. The first event will get under' way at 8:30, but doors and ticket booths will be serving the public starting at 7:30. The switching hitting Lewis made a colorful debut here a few weeks back when he stopped Dick Jones of Klamath Palls In the main event of the Ralph Weiser benefit card, but tonight the Seattle Negro faces a red-headed Irishman from Ne vada, and the action is expected to be fast and furious. Llllard, who had to outbid other promoters for the services of both main event scrappers, has signed "Red" Rusty O'Brien of Reno, Nevada, as the second half of the 10-round bout. And Joey Alblna, O Brlen's manager, figures, to turn the tables on hard-punching YoYo tonight, the same as Lewis did to Jones on the Weiser card. Both boys have impressive rec ords behind them, with "Red" Rus ty holding a slight edge In the ex- perience department. To balance YoYo's claim on the Northwest welter crown, O'Brien was the Southwest Welterweight champ from 1951 to 1853 before dropping the belt. Lewis holds a win over Blackle Vanderveer, tops among norinwest lighters a year or so back, while Rusty held the highly tauted "Smut" Warren. Orient Command Middleweight Champion to a draw last July. Alblna relays word that his fight er is one who likes to stand toe-to-toe and mix up the action, and local fans who witnessed the Lewis Jones JiRht will say the same for YoYo. This all points to a knock down, dragout fight and quite pos sibly , a knockout before the 10 rounds have been completed. Al though"Red" Rusty has yet to be tested before local fight patrons, nil will agree that he may have his hands full of the exploding punches tossed bv Lewis. The Seattle welter took a short trip to Chicago Just after Uie Weiser fight card to visit relatives. During this Journey, YoYo reports he had the opportunity to workout with Sugar Ray Robinson as a Sparring partner. According to Lewis, "this makes me work all the harder towards reaching the top ot the tight business. This game I love." Besides the headline bout of 10 rounds, Llllard has scheduled a supporting card of 30 more rounds m glove tossing action, Topping the preliminary list Is the six round semlwlndup pitting Dick junes against Chlloquin's Donnle i-icara in a bout that will tell the ",e ,ocnl "f"1 "" J"""" win oe seexing to get back on the victory irau alter losing on a TKO to Lewis. Prior to the Lewis light, Dick had won 18 of 19 bouts. In the evening's six round spe clal event. Billy Plummer of Bly Rets back Into the swing of the armory fight picture after a short layoff as he tangles with Porky Jimenez of Klamath Falls. Last year these two battlers gave the armory fans one of the finest slug test exhibitions that has been seen here, and Llllard has rematched the two tor another go. Plummer came back from the ennvas to take a decision from Jlmencs in their previous meeting. The top four-rounder will pit the much talked about Bly logger. Curt Stanton against Louie "Corky" Gibbon of Chlloquln. Olbbon won a TKO from Stanton on the Weiser card after being down for a count of eight when the Bly battler con nected with a power-packed punch Stanton had the ringside fans In stitches during his bout with Olb bon when he swung hey-making blows only to miss and send him self to the mat by the motion of his own punch. But Stanton proved that when he did connect, he was danserous. The opening four stanza fight plis much improved P u m m 1 e WrlRht of Chlloquln anainst Qeor (tie Bray of Bonanza.

Oklahoma Tops Two AA Stats NEW YORK (UP) Final NCAA football statistics told a simple story today about why Oklahoma was rated the No. 1 team in the nation more points, scored than anyone else and more yard gained. . The Sooners, bound now for an Orange Bowl date on Jan. 2 against Maryland, came within eight points of a third statistical crown announced today Least points allowed. That honor went to Georgia Tech, and Army won the defense championship. Oklahoma ran rampant through a perfect season this year and ex tended Its unbeaten string to 29 games by ripping off 36.5 points per game and rolling up 410.7 yards gained per game. Denver was second in scoring with 31.0 points per game, and rounding out the top 10 were: Texas Christian 29.3, UCLA and West Virginia, 18.5 each; Army 28.4; Southern Ca llornia, 26.5; and Michigan State, 26 2; Wichita 25.2, and Mississippi, 25.1. West Virginia, Southern Confer ence champion, took second in total offense with 384. S yards gained per game and rounding out the top five were Denver at 368.9 Michigan State at 364.4, and Navy at 358.6. Oklahoma closed out its trium phant season by scoring shutouts In Its last live games, but still the Sooners couldn't win the least-points-allowed title. Georgia Tech, bound for the Sugar Bowl, won that by allowing only 4.6 points per game, followed by Oklahoma with 5.4. Completing the top 10 In this phase of defense were UCLA rod Maryland at 5.7 each, Navy 6.2, Detroit 6.9, Princeton and Vanderbllt 7.S each. Michigan Slate 7.7, and Army 8.0. Army's defense stood the test In the big victory over Navy and the Cadets won the total defense crown with 160.7 yards allowed per game. The Cadets had won the total offense title last year and are the first team to Jump from one to the other In successive years. They're also only the second team to win the defense crown despite losing three games. Completing the top five In total defense are Maryland at 169.1, Navy 181.7, Auburn at 183.2, and Holy Cross at 183.5. Al Larry, who will get a spring trial with the Chicago Cubs, caught 35 passes for 766 yards with Ala bama grldmrn In 1950. The num ber of passes and yards gained are school records.

Patterson Kayoes Slade LOS ANGELES m Young Floyd Patterson may be next in line at a shot at heavyweight champion Rocky Marclano but whether he's ready for such a dan gerous assignment was debatable Friday. Thursday night the 20-vear-old lad from Brooklyn erased Jimmy Slade, the No. 5 heavyweight con tender, from the picture via a tech nical knockout in the seventh of a scheduled 10-roundcr at the Olym pic Auditorium. Patterson knocked Slade down for a nine count in the fifth and the bell probably saved him from a knsckout. Patterson ripped open Slade's right eyelid In the third and he chased the 29-year-old New Yorker all over the ling for the better part of seven rounds. But Patterson couldn't quite catch Jimmy the spoiler. It was left to the referee. Dynamite Jackson, to do the Job. Jackson stepped In and stopped the affair after 2:05 of the seventh and explained later: "Slade Just wouldn't flRht. I kept telling him to get In there and look good even If he was losing but I guess he felt that he was too outclassed."

"Howard," as his 'petite wife Betty refers to him, is some pump kins as a baseball player as well as being the hottest football trans porter in recent years. Protecting his eligibility, he professes indeci sion. But all his thoughts and his thrills are of football. "I wanted to play football, and for Ohio State, ever since I was a high school kid in Columbus and used to sneak over the wall," ex plained the broad-shouldered, bent nosed young man with the auburn hair.

"I was only third string but I got into the, game and I scored three touchdowns," SBys Howard, who gained the "Hopalong" nick name when a certain cowboy was making personal appearances in Columbus about the time Cassady was hurdling rival high school lines. It Is worthy of note that Cassa dy, in the semi-final game ol a 37-touchdown collegiate career, scored three touchdowns against Iowa, recently. "I played pretty good baseball last season for Ohio State," he admitted under urging. "I was hit ting .460 for a while but then I went Into a slump and wound up. at only .327." A right-handed long ball hitter, Cassady led the Buckeyes In home tuns and extra bases. He disclosed that baseball scouts have been after him but "none of them asked me to sign on the dotted line." "If I went Into pro football," he said with a broad smile, "na turally I'd like to play on offense under the two-platoon pro system. But I really enjoyed playing both ways In college." The son of an interior decora tor, Cassady Is an inspiration to high school players who may have their doubts about "being college material. "I only weighed 150 pounds In high school and I wasn't much heavier when I reported at Ohio State," he said. "Of course, I told the coach I weighed more, but I couldn't have been over 156. "But I'd like to tell all the kids this: II they're interested in play irg college football, there is only one guy who can beat them.

If they have the de. sire, they can make it, and make it anywhere they want to." Cassady took his "lumps." He suffered a broken nose twice, a separation ot each shoulder and a bad knee. "But it's been well worth It," grinned the 177-pound 21-year-old with the tapering hips and slender legs. "I guess you'd say I'm proof that anybody who wants anything bad enough can always get It." A fine boy, this Cassady. You can take that from his proud coach Woody Hayes.
