Floyd Patterson is still heavy weight champion of the world to-1 day but he wasn't doing any cheering "because 1 think I could have done better." Patterson emphasized he wasn't the least bit satisfied even though he retained his crown with a six round knockout over Ingcmar Jo hansson that drew boos from most of the estimated 15.000 fans at Convention Hall Monday night. I wasn't satisfied at all," said the weary champion in his dress ing room after the bout. "My first victory over Ingo was much better. . .much more decisive. "He almost took all the zip out of me when he knocked me down twice in the first round. He sure surprised me. I never expected him to get started so fast.

By JOE JARES United Press International LOS ANGELES (UPI)-A year ago, at about this time, a group of sophomore basketball players at the University of Southern California asked for the removal of head coach Forrest Twogood. This morning, Twogood and that same group, now juniors, took oil for Portland, Ore., where they stand a good chance of parlaying their Big Five championship into the NCAA regional title. Stumbling block No. 1 to that Cinderella tale: The Oregon Ducks, who the Trojans must play Wednesday night before a hostile crowd. "Oregon is a good basketball team." Twogood said Monday at the basketball writers' luncheon. "Charlie Warren is a iKeni Stanley and a ( Bill I McClintock. a fine and excellent ballplayer." Trojan second-team All-Amcn-i John Rudometkin, who was voted the 1960-61 player of the Champion Utah, a team it de feated early in the season, on Fri day night. It is possible that SC could meet Loyola .Saturday night in the regional finals for tire right to go to Kansas City and tile NCAA finals. Coach Billy Donovan of Loyola gagged about the Utah game: "I was told at the beginning of the season that since Kennedy was elected this would be a year for the Catholics. It must be true because we get to play the Mormons on St. Patrick's Day." After honoring the various play ers ol the week, the writers and coaches got down to the annual business of picking their "all" teams: All-Southern California: Ru domelkin; Chris Appel. SC; (16-7); 10:15 a.m. Grant (22-0) vs. Scappoose (21-1 : 2 p.m. Medford (17-5) vs. Tillamook (16 6); 3:15 p.m. South Salem (13- 9) vs. Bend 18-4: 7:30 p.m. David Douglas ( 16-6) vs. Roseburg (20-2); 8:45 p.m. Wilson (20-21 vs. Jesuit (14-8. Grant of Portland is the only team in the tournament with a per-! feet record the winner of 22 straight. That still wasn't enough, however, to make the Grant squad the favorite in the eyes of those who participated in the poll. The nod went to Klamath Falls, apparently in the belief that the rangy Southern Oregon team has ironed out the difficulties that led to its late-season defeats. For one thing, Klamath Falls has one of the state's prize prep players in high-scoring, 6-7 Bruce Brickner The tournament picks came a week after the final poll, which put Roseburg in the No. 1 posi tion, followed by Grant, Klamath Falls and Medford, the defending state champion. Central Catholic was picked to finish fifth in the tournament. Weiss,. 'Lip To Head -up New NY Nine MIAMI BEACH. Fla. (AP) - President George Weiss. Manager Leo Durocher.

(UPD- Thc fight in which Floyd Patter son "knocked out" Ingemar Jo hansson to retain the heavyweight title was only a preliminary be tween two overstuffed Golden Glovers fighting for $4 million. They were willing, if fat and slow. Some may even question whether Ingemar could have risen or did, in time to continue the flal-footed bombing festivities. But the best fight came after wards in the corridor fronting Jo hansson's dressing room where, as a visiting Swedish newspaper man put it. the Miami Beach po lice acted "just like the Gestapo." It was a raucous demonstration of brass buttons and how not to handle people which shamed thc fistic fireworks in the ring and wound up as a disgraceful exhi bition of uncontrolled authority. Wade Into Battle The police waded in with every thing but nightsticks to prove their muscular superiority and a single-mindedncss which made Marshal Foch s "They shall not pass" seem like a Girl Scout ul timatum. Yngve Fcnk, a mild little man representing the Stockholm Ex presses approached tne writing cordon waving a dressing room pass which might as well have been printed on square tissues. He'd have been safer in between Patterson and Johansson. A policeman heroically grabbed this undersized guest of the Unit ed States who also has a limp and nearly strangled him with his own necktie while giving him a shot on thc shoulder. "But," protested the uncompre hending Swede, "I have a dress ing room pass." "Back," virtually screamed the policeman. "What is this, the Gestapo? pleaded the amazed Fcnk. "If you don't like it." the po liceman shouted, thrusting the lit tle man through the crowd vio lently, "go back where you come from. Remove Lensmcn Bodily Hugo Wesscls, a photographer for United Press International, was removed bodily from the arena when he resisted the police pummeling. Andy Lopez, an old pro with the lens who won the Pulitzer Prize for his work, also was hurled through the straining crowd by officers. "We got our job to do," one policeman stormed, "and we'll do it over your bodies if necessary." Naturally, Ingemar s forlorn ap pearance one hour after the bout was somewhat anticlimactic. He: plodded in wearing a red tic, blue left eye and a white patch over his left optic the most patriotic motif of a rather hecticl evening. His review of the proceedings- delayed because his undcrshorts were wet when he began to dress and by the arrival of process servers prohibiting his departure Irom the national premises until he coughs up the proper amount ol income taxes were succinct: Yes, he thought he was up when lie was counted out. No, he had, no alibi or defense) other than that he slipped a bit getting up and may have miscalculated, Upon getting up, Floyd looked to ward his corner and shook his head in an obvious gesture of dis satisfaction with himself. That's right, I was dissatis fied," he said. "I thought of all tile hard training I had done for the fight and here it was hardly started and I was on the floor al ready." Patterson made it clear that Jo hansson "deserves a lot of cred it," particularly because relative ly few felt he had a chance. I'd love to fight him again, but I won't," the champ said.

(UPI)-I will not retire. I knew this the moment I walked into the press room and. the reporters applauded me. I have no alibis for losing to Floyd Patterson. I fought my heart out. If I made any mistake, it was in my over-anxiety in the first round when I floored Floyd twice. The mandatory eight-count helped Patterson In that round, because he had extra time to re cover, but I have no complaint. We both fought under the same rules. 1 must pay tribute to both my1 trainers, Whitey Bimstcin and Nils Blomberg. It was Whitey who taught me the meaning of a jolting left jab and a left upper' cut. second period and ended the first half with 22 counters. The Hornets closed the gap to 33-23 with 3:53 to go on a three point play by Bert Allbritton, but couldn't get under the 10-point pread as the Madras quintet poured on the coal. The White Buffaloes led at halftime by a 43-31 count. It was at the outset of the econd half that Madras built its biggest lead of the game, 49-33. But the Hornets chipped away at the lead until they once again were but 10 points back, 53-43. This time they did break through as Allbritton canned a 20-foot jump shot from the corner for a 53-45 count. The Henley team momentarily lost its momentum and Madras look a 61-48 lead with 40 sec onds to go in the third period. The Hornets were down by a 61-53 count at the end of the quarter on a long push shot by Bob Chap man. The Hornets really gave the Madras club trouble in the final period before free throws spelled the end. Paced by the shooting of Kent Gooding, Allbritton and Chapman the Henley team closed the gap to 70-73 with 2:48 left. At that time, Madras went into a stall and the Hornets, desper ately trying to get the ball, com mitted four fouls in the last 2:44. The White Buffaloes made only half four-of-eight of the shots, but the one-pointers were enough to keep Madras in the champion ship running and send Henley into the consolation round Tuesday against Reedsport. In the last period. Chapman and Floyd Ken dall left the game via the foul route. Both teams fired' at fantastic shooting clips. The winners hit .476 per cent of their casts, while Henley hit .438 per cent. Piedmont ended the game with 33 points lone short of the tournament rec ord. He also grabbed 18 rebounds. Gregg Macy lent to the winning attack with 22 counters. Henley had four of Its five starters In double figures. Allbrit ton and Gooding each connected with 10 points.
