UPI Telephoto Providence Captures NIT Event NEW YORK (UPI I - Three members of Providence's Nation al Invitation Basketball Tourna ment champions Ray Flynn, Jim Stone and John Thompson today dominated the tourney all-star team chosen by United Press In ternational. Bill O'Connor ot Canisius and Ron Glaser of Marquette complct. ed the team selected by 20 sports writers and broadcasters who cov ered the 26th annual post-season classic, won by Providence. The second-seeded Friars routed Can isius. Bl-fi6, in Saturday's finale. "This win is as big as the first one," said Providence Coach Joe Mullaney, who also led the Friars to the NIT title in 1961. "I guess the boys need about six weeks to warm up at the beginning of the season." said Mullaney. whose team got off to a slow start but scored its 15th straight victory by capturing the NIT championship. Flynn, who scored 83 points in three games and shot an amazing 54 per cent from the field, hitting on 37 of 69 shots, many of them long one-handers from beyond the . foul circle, was named the NIT's Most Valuable Player. "We've got the best team in the country," said Flynn. "We can beat Cincinnati, Loyola (111.) or anybody." the Friars were rated 1,1th by the UPI Board of Coaches. Stone, a 6-1 jumping jack who had quit the Providence team ear lier in the season because "my play was sloppy," led the Friars with 23 points in the champion ship victory. He had 64 points all told. Marquette beat Villanova. 66-58, (or third place in the consolation game Saturday. A total of 92,161 fans attended Madison Square Garden for the NIT-the third highest in its history.

The 32-year-old attorney from Jacksonville, Fla., collected $9,000 for his work. Snead, with a final round of 38-3371 finished one stroke back at 284 and added $4,600 to his millions. The 50-year-old Snead. shooting for his 1 13th tournament victory. was three strokes down with five holes to go. He fired two straight birdies, but the young Floridian matched the veteran par for par on the final three holes. Snead, upset by the antics of his playing partner Al Balding sank a 70-foot putt and Sikes fol lowed him by rattling down a 3,')-footcr was even more upset on the third hole when somebody in the gallery snapped his picture as he hit an approach shot and he flubbed it. Tony Lema, who started the fi nal circuit four strokes back, had the best round of Die day, a three under-par 34-35 W. and ended up in third place with $3,000 in win nmgs.

Hiller, who gained fame by belting a grand slam home run in the Giants' fourth game World Scries victory over the New York Yankees, at least thinks he knows so much about the game that his San Francisco teammates have nicknamed him "Abner Double day." But knowledge of the game and playing it are two different things, and the 27-ycar-old Hiller is still fighting for a job although he's been in baseball since 1957. The San Francisco second base man, who became tne lust na tional Leaguer to hit a grand lam homer in the World Series last year, slammed a bases-loaded homer against the Chicago Cubs Sunday in breaking the Giants' seven-game losing streak and leading them to an 11-6 vic tory. Helping himself out, Hiller, bat ted for Joey Amalfilano his sec ond base rival reclaimed from the Houston Colts and he con- nected for the grand slammer in the eighth inning off right-hander 'Unwanteds' Capture NCAA Championship LOUISVILLE.

The rollicking Ramblers had the audacity last Saturday night to overthrow a proud Cincinnati monarchy which had ruled the basketball world for the past two years and had threatened to ex lend its reign for an unprecedent ed third straight season.

Floyd Given Shot At Clay NEW YORK (UPI) Former heavyweight champion Floyd Pat terson will be offered the oppor tunity to rebuild his reputation by defeating Cassius Clay and thus set up a "big money" heavy weight title return bout with in jured Sonny Liston. Tom Bolan, president of Cham pionship Sports, Inc., said he will confer on Wednesday with Patterson, whose April 10 bout with Liston was postxned be cause of a knee injury suffeied by the champion. "A Patterson-Clay fight is ex tremely attractive," said Bolan, "and should draw millions at the gate and on theater television." Bolan made his remarks at the annual dinner of the World Box ing Writers' Association Sunday night. World middleweight cham pion Dick Tiger of Nigeria and Dr. Marvin Stevens received the association's annual awards dur ing the dinner. only one year in high school.

Ironically, Grif fith fought on the same card as Moore in the triple championship bout Thursday. He lost to Luis Rodriguez. Moore's wife. Geraldine, moth er of their five young children. was in the same hospital where he was admitted for shock after hours of anxious waiting in the lobby and in her husband's room. She was awakened and told of Moore's death this morning and immediately placed under sea lion. California Gov. Edmund G. Brown, an outspoken foe of the sport, requested immediate intro duction of a bill which would ask the voters lo outlaw boxing in the 1964 election. "1 can only conclude once again that there is only one way to pre vent deaths and severe injuries in the ring and that is to abolish the so-called sport completely," the governor said. Brown suggested the powers of the State Athletic Commission were not enough. He called for an "emergency committee" to sur vey the current safeguards and recommend new ones.

Last Seven Bouts In 65 pro fights, Moore had lost only seven and had one draw. His only previous knockout was March 14, I960 when he was kay- oed in the seventh round by Car los Hernandez at Caracas, Vene zuela. Moore did not go down for the count on that occasion either his jaw was broken by what many considered a lucky blow and the bout was halted. Moore first drew attention in the boxing world when he com peted as a member of the 1952 Olympic team at Helsinki, Fin land but failed to reach the fi nals. His teammates included the former heavyweight champion Flovd Patterson and Eddie San ders. Sanders later turned pro and was fatally injured in a bout at Boston. A hard puncher and a poised boxer.

North Eugene Top Spot With Victory EUGENE lUPH North Eu gene's Highlanders, rated the best, proved it Saturday night.

Little Davey. a clean-living son of a clergyman, was born in Lex ington, Ky Nov. 1, 1933. He lived most of his life in Spring field, Ohio, and moved three years ago to Columbus. No Money Worries Moore had no money worries. Friends said his prime purpose in fighting seemed to be aimed at the goal of achieving financial se curity for his family. He had achieved that security apparently. He owned rental property in Ohio and had though! of retiring to become a real estate and insurance broker. He was a little tired of globe trotting to South America and Europe where smaller boxers are more popular than in the United Slates. Yet he yearned for more box ing honors and said before the Ramos fight he would like to have a crack at the lightweight title held by Carlos Ortiz. It wasn't the desire (or money that kept him going this pleas ant-spoken little Negro who had to scrounge for a living from his earliest days.
