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

nursing a sore chin.
Never before was there a fast

of veteran Speedway rairbirds had

such controversy over the out

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

Nearly half a million dollars
was shelled out to pay off driv

Game commissions, and local

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

before the California legislature
in tiie form of bills.
Mrs Davis stated. "I fully

A vapor of smoke trailed the

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

"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

tions of Siskiyou and Shasta
counties for a period of two
years.
She also criticized the Calilor

.Manipulation Charged
Feelings between Sachs and
Jones became strained as Die re

"I don't think Parnelli needed

Following another hot exchange

landed on Sachs' ear. Sachs said
