Patterson Still Champ, 'Not Satisfied'
MIAMI BEACH.
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.

Trojans, Webf oots
Meet In Portland .
. 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

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.

Repeatedly I have stated that
he is dangerous as long as he is
on his feet. The fight Monday
night proved this.
I felt that I could not get my
self unwound and that it demand

Certainly Ingemar was a think

blitz me in the first round. He is
right when he says that the man

His courage and determination
were very evident from the start
I cannot praise him too highly as
a fighting man.
There are other contenders who
deserve a crack at my title. Who
the next challenger will be will
be decided at a later date.
My three-fight series was excit

Get Going Tonight
By OSCAR FRALEY
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (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.
'The reason I won't is because!

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (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.

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
