Dancing Master Willie Pastrano Decisions Harold Johnson For Crown One Of Biggest Upsets In History ' LAS VEGAS, Nev. (UPI) -Dancing Willie Pastrano, a sec ond substitute and a 9-1 under dog, wrested th world light hea vyweight championship from vet eran Harold .lohnson on a split 15-round decision for one of the greatest upsets in ring history Saturday night. Paslrano's victory before a small crowd of about 2,500 broke M-year-old Johnson's winning string at 19 straight and it ruined Philadelphia Harold's attempt to make a successful defense of the undisputed 173-pound crown. The decision in the Las Vegas! convention center was greeted with mingled cheers an boos be cause it was a very close and well-fought contest by both men. Pastrano. 27, of Miami Beach, Fla., weighed 174 pounds. John son scaled 173' 2. There were no knockdowns in the bout. Pastrano was a 5-1 underdog because his recent ring record could not compare with that of the muscular shaven - headed Johnson. Moreover, Pastrano was a third choice as a contender because he got the title shot only after two men who had been matched sue-! cessively suffered training injur ies and had to withdraw. They were Mauro Mina of Peru and Henry Hank of Detroit. Pastrano was given t h e title chance because of his victory in this same Las Vegas ring May 4 over contender Wayne Thornton of Kresno, Calif. Referee Jimmy Olivos of Reno. Nev., favored Pastrano on a five point must basis 69-63. But Judge John Romero of Las Vegas had Johnson ahead 69-68. Judge Harry Krause of Las Vegas made Pas trano the new champion he scored him ahead 69-67. The United Press International favored Johnson, 69-68. Johnson finished the fight with his left eye almost ciosed because of big mouse that kept pushing up from the cheek. Both of Pastrano's cheeks were bruised badly. It was Johnson's first defeat since his knockout by Julio Me dcros in the second round May 6, 1955 the night that someone ANOTHER DENNIS THE MENACE?

Biggest Rhubarb Simmers Over Jones' Racing INDLWAPOLIS lUPIi-One of the biggest rhubarbs in the his tory of the classic 600-mile Speed way race simmeicd today w ith winner Parnelli Jones resting on his laurels and critic Eddie Sachs nursing a sore chin. Never before was there a fast er race and not in the memory of veteran Speedway rairbirds had the brickyard ever been hit with such controversy over the out come. Both Sachs, who tangled with Jones in a fist fight at a luncheon Friday, and Roger McCluskey. who complained because the win ner was not flagged nut of the race, failed to show up at Thurs day night's victory banquet. Jimmy Clark, the llymg Scots man who drove his Lotus-Ford to a second-place finish only 34 sec onds behind Jones, did show up al the banquet. He watched Jones and his crew carry off a record iarkp.it of nearly $150,000. Nearly half a million dollars was shelled out to pay off driv ers. Named Ton Rookie Clark, unanimous choice for "rookie of the year honors, be came the first foreigner to win the award. The storm over the Speedway started brewing soon alter Jones pulled into the winner s circle. Sachs, who crossed the finish line in 17th place, accused track oflicials of being "talked out of" Land Management at Lakeview, the Oregon and California Slate Game commissions, and local sportsmen attended the meet ing. The idea to formulate a two stale commission to regulate the interstate deer herd was suggested in a letter to Sen. Harry Boivin of Klamath Falls by California As-emblywoman Pauline Davis, chairman of the Assembly Legislative Commitee on Fish and Game. The idea was one of several proposals oflered by Mrs. Da vis, several of which will come before the California legislature in tiie form of bills. Mrs Davis stated. "I fully realize that the CalilorniaOie gon mule deer herd is an inter state problem, and it is my thought that an interna la deer in the opening frame when lead off man and first baseman Don Gresdel worked Sage for a walk. Third baseman Don Dexter struck out and Blake Griggs ground out. Gresdel, who had reached third on a pair of passed balls, scored on Griggs' ground out. Tiie second run came in the second inning. Playing-manager Ron Owings led off with a single and stole second base. Dave Si gado w hiffed but Ray Taylor sin gled Ow ings across home plate for the second tally. The runs came few and far between off Sage after that al though the Medo-Bels threatened Alaska's nomadic Eskimos use the caribou as meat for food, its horns for implements and its hide for tents, ropes and clothing. giving Jones the black flag for spilling oil. A vapor of smoke trailed the w inner's exhaust late in the race. Sachs said it was "the first lime in Speedway history that a 500 mile race has a winner that doesn't deserve it." He said Jones should have been ousted from the race when oil leaked from his car and made the track danger ously slippery. NCAA Field Has Stars ALBUQUERQUE. N. M.

"It is my belief that the only way in which we can preserve the now dwindling interstate mule deer population is through the cooperation of our two states, and through legisla tion in both states which will have beneficial effect on this important big game resource," she said furtiier. The assemblywoman further advocated restricting the taking of deer smaller than three points in Modoc and lessen counties and the eastern p o r tions of Siskiyou and Shasta counties for a period of two years. She also criticized the Calilor n.a Department of Fish and Gam and took a verbal swipe at those, land ownert who are in virtually every inning. Their last score came in the fifth in ning. Mansfield walked. Gresdel was hit by a pitch, moving Mans field to second and Dexter's sin gle loaded the bases. Griggs worked Sage for a walk to score Manstield. But John Bianchi whiffed as did Owings to end the threat. Sage was in command after that. The Medo-Bels got a runner to second in the seventh and one to second in the ninth before a double play cut h i m down.

Other Indianapolis veterans complained that Jones had picked up precious seconds on Clark un-1 der the yellow flag, when drivers are supposed to slow down and maintain their positions. .Manipulation Charged Feelings between Sachs and Jones became strained as Die re sult of the accusations that offi cials "manipulated" the race in favor of Jones. The powderkeg exploded at the luncheon. When Sachs congratulated Jones for winning. Parnelli replied "I don't like some of the things you've been saying about us." "I don't think Parnelli needed his oil," Sachs said, "and he said 'You're a liar.' " Following another hot exchange of words, Jonrs shot a fist that landed on Sachs' ear. Sachs said he was cut about the chin and check by Jones' ring as they scuf fled briefly. At the victory banquet, chief steward Harlan Fengler said he was prepared lo slop Jones, thus depriving him of victory, but eaid the Issue resolved itself when the vapor trail disappeared. "I don't think Parnelli needed any help to win this race." said fellow driver Johnny Boyd. lobbying lor a bill which would permit them the right to sell permits for tiie taking of antler less deer on their own lands. "Generally, we who favor greater protection of the mule deer believe the California De partment of Fish and Game has been following a policy of game management dictated by poli tics and pressure Irnm urban hunter groups," she said. "As a result, the interstate deer herd has suffered from overharvesxing and the lack of good, sound range imrovemcnt programs." site appraised.
