USAF Photo From Willi oters Yell To Gel iger ror -NEW YORK (UPD "Hold that Tiger for me!" That's vhat boxing promoters on "both sides of the Atlantic are yelling at Willis N. (Jersey) Jones of North Arlington, N.J. Jersey, 64 and foreign editor of The Ring Magazine, is also co manager of Nigerian Dick Tiger, the very popular and very able world middleweight champion. Medium-sized Jones a leath ery, blondish man with curly hair says: "Everybody wants the Ti ter- for his next defense. And to hear some of them talk, you'd think they had him. But he's not signed for anything yet. Since the Tiger's bloody, sev enth-round technical knockout over ex-champ Gene Fullmer at Ihadan, Nigeria, on Aug. 10, the 160-pound ruler has become the most sought-after champion, ex cepting only heavyweight rulera sporls writer asked Jersey at Sonny Liston. j his desk in The Ring Magazine Seek Tleer-Papp Bout ineanquaneis. ers foisrney Bowling's top money winner of 1963, Dick Weber of St. Louis, has signed as an entrant in the $20,500 City of Roses Open professional bowling tournament booked for! 20th Century Lanes in Portland on Sept. 19-22. J Weber has cashed checks total ing $37,000 for his bowling efforts this year. He picked up a cool $15,000 for victory in the National All-Star lost January and is cur rently in fourth place on the Pro fossional Bowlers Association 1963 money list with $23,000 In win nings. The 34-year-old p'mblaster has won a total of eleven PBA tour naments in (our years, a record unmatched by any other pro keg-ler. The Weber story will have to be classified as tort of a come back yarn. Kor a time in mid-1962 the one-time Indianapolis mail clerk s bowling career appeared lo be in serious trouble because of a -hidden cyst which developed on one of the fingers of his right hand. It look weeks to discover and climinato it, and then Weber liad lo devote anolher three months to recover his form. He finally start ed cashing checks again in the fall of 12, finished 12th in the money in the PBA National Cham pionship event in Philadelphia, i nd lias been in top form ever uncc. Most national bowling sages agree that Weber is now a top tin-eat for the Bowler of the Year" title In 196,1. Well known Oregon kecler Champ Husted of Milwaiikie, was also announced today as a City of Roses competitor along with live additional PBA members, Husted first achieved local prominence as a member of the 19S4 University of Oregon Nation al Intercollegiate Championship team. He won the Oregon State M,.itch Game Championships in 19.")9 and lias carried a 200 plus Icacue average for (he past three years. Husted is a memlior of (he "Shivering Six" a group of bowl ing proprietors co-sponsoring the City of Roses Open along with the 31 Kiwanis clubs responsible for (he ML Hood Kiwanis Camp for Handicapped Children. For example, Championship Sports, Inc. which promoted the last four heavyweight title fights wants Tiger to make a defense "somewhere in the United States" on closed-circuit television against unbeaten Laszlo Pa'pp of Hungary, champion of Europe Promoter Jack Solomons of I London, who cooperated with the Nigerian government in staging the Tiger-Fullmer scrap at Iba dan, wants Tiger to defend against Papp at Vienna, where Solomons belrevos more than 70,- 000 would attend. Matchmaker Teddy Brenner ofj Madison Square Garden is trying to get the Tiger and conten der Rubin (Hurricane) Carter of I Paterson, N.J., for a home-tele vision title fight. Meat-packer Joseph Bonaccurso of Philadelphia heads an 11-man syndicate that wants a Tiger-I Joey Giardello title fight at the Philadelphia Convention Hall In November. Giardello, fighting out of Philadelphia, is now the top contender. For each of those four propos als and for others that Jones kissed off without mention, guar antees of at least $100,000 were offered the Tiger, Jersey said. , Hasn't anyone the inside track on the Tiger's next defense, Patterson Wants Bout By Nov. 15 , HIGHLAND MILLS, N.Y. (UPl Close friends today elaborated on former heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson's announcement that he will fight again this year. The mends said Floyd's return to the ring would be made in Eu rope but they would not speculate on the opponent. When Patterson announced Fri day night that he would continue to fight, instead of retiring, he added that his next bout would be staged "no later than Nov. 15 Floyd's desire for such a quick comeback surprised many boxing! men who recalled that in each of his latest two bouts he had been knocked out in the first round by big Sonny Liston, heavyweight champion. Liston took the crown from Floyd on a 2:06 kayo at Chicago, Sept. 25, 1962, and kept the title on a 2: 10 blackout at Las Vegas Nev last July 22. Despite those two quickies, Floyd explained here at his train ing camp: "The hundreds of letters I re ceived from all over the world since that Las Vegas knockout last month really tipped the scales for me." He said nearly all of the let ters urged him to continue fight ing and to make one last try to egain the championship. I PAGE 4 C HERALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Oregon Sunday, August 18, 1963 Butts' lawyers Sharpen Arguments For Finish ATLANTA UPH - Attorneys in Wallace Butts' $10 million li bel suit against the Saturday Eve ning Post sharpened their final arguments Saturday for the cur tain ringer this week to one of col lege football's sharpest controversies. The trial was in recess Saturday and Sunday following two week: of testimony and arguments m federal court. The 12-man jury is expected to get the case late Monday after final summations are concluded and Federal Judge Lewis R. Morgan instructs them Butts, the round little man who once led powerful football teams from the University of Georgia to Southeastern Conference champ ionships and into the nation's bowl games, was pictured alter nately Friday as a lover of night life and a man mined by a slan derous story. The Post claimed in an issue last March that Butts, while atheltic director at Georgia, gave away football secrets to Alabama coach Paul (Bear) Bryant prior to last fall's Alabama-Georgia football game. Both heatedly denied the allega tions and both sued for $10 mil lion. Bryant's suit is still (lending in the federal court in Birmingham where -Post attorneys are trying to get it moved to another state because they claim they can't get a fair trial in the popular coach's home territory. Shouts To Jury In the opening of final argu ments in the Butts suit Friday, Butts' attorney shouted to the jury that the career of the form er coach and athletic director was "ruined" and Butts was "heart broken and a shell of his former self." "March 18 was the blackest day to Wallace Butts that could ever befall any man," the attor ney, Allen Lockerman, said. "That was the day the article hit the newsstands. On that day Wallace Butts became ashamed, heartbroken, just a shell of him self." Post attorney Welborn Cody contended that Butts "snapped" because of too. much night life and had plunged to the point where his best friends said he had "lost his character." Cody said Butts was asked to resign as coach after 22 years because of his personal conduct but was permitted to remain at the school as athletic director. "This same night life" led lo Butts' forced resignation as ath letic director, Cody said. Tells Of Notes Speaking of the notes Atlanta insuianccman George Burnett les hified he made in overhearing a telephone conversation between Butts and Bryant nine days be fore Alabama walloped Georgia 35-0, Cody said: "These notes were made by an amateur, not a football coach. "A lot of them don't make any sense. But there is a lot in these notes." Cody emphasized a notation Burnett made on the final page of the notes: "Give Wally a ring Sunday. "This call (Sunday) from Bear Bryant to Wally Butts lasted an hour and seven minutes," Cody said "And Butts and Bryant now say they do not remember such a call." Gilchrist Redeems Self In Game By United Press International Cookie Gilchrist, reputed "bad boy" of professional football, has proved again that he's just as tough on the field. The 243-pound fullback for the Buffalo Bills, whose numerous off-the-field scrapes have done al most as much to keep him in the headlines as his bone-crunching running, helped power the Bills to a 23-8 American Football League exhibition victory over the New York Jets Friday night. Gilchrist scored from the two- yard line and piled up 64 yards in nine carries. A crowd of 19,142 saw the Bills chalk up 20 points in the first half and coast to victory behind Gilchrist, quarterback Jackie Kemp and Mack Yoho's kicking. At Bethlehem, Pa., 14,000 fans turned out to see rookie Terry Nofsinger throw an 80-yard touch down pass to Red Mack and lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 24-13' triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles in a National Football League pre-season contest. In the only other NFL game Friday night, the St. Louis Cardinals edged the San Francis co Forty Nincrs, 24-22, on Pren tice Gautt's one-yard plunge in the last minute of play. 'Well I'd say Jack Solomons of London has the 'in' right now," Jersey rellectccl. Jack dirt a great job with Tiger and Full mer at Ihadan. And my friend Bobby Diamond of London, who manages Tiger in Europe, ad mires Solomons very much atid so do I." How long has Jones co-man aged the Tiger? "I became associated with him in the summer of 1959," Jersey recalled. "You see I had been connected previously with feather weight champion Hogan (Kid) Bassey, Nigeria's first world champ. Because of my success with Bassey, Tiger came looking for me. f didn t look for him Hurls No-Hitter PORTLAND (UPf)-Jackie Rice pitched a no-hit, no-run game Friday night to lead the Erv Lind Florists of Portland to a 3-0 victory over the Port Angeles Blue Angels in the opening round of the Northwest Women's Invita tional Softball Tournament here.

The 3-ton racer is powered by aJ-47 jet engine and rides on the 600-mph Goodyear tires. MEM LAUD SKI RECORD! 407 11 St M GOODYEAR TIM Monday, August 5th Craig: Breedlove, with a wingless jet, Goodyear tires and 170 pounds of heart, hope and guts brought the land speed record back to America. 7:15 a.m. The silence o the Bonneville Salt Flats was shattered by the whine of a 35 foot long jet racer. That whine became a roar as Craig Breedlove in his Spirit of America thundered into the record books. His speed: 388.49 mph one way, the other way . . . 428.37 mph! For an average of 407.45 miles an hour! Smashing the record held by England's John Cobb of 394.2 mph. A 1947 record that many experts thought could never be topped. One of the most important problems that Breedlove faced when he first decided to give the land speed record a try was summed up in a statement that appeared in a leading automotive magazine: ". . . there is no point in thinking of a land speed record car if there are no tires- that will stand up to the required speed." Goodyear engineers accepted the unique . . . almost impossible challenge . . . and . . . A TIRE IS BORN In his initial talk with Goodyear engineers, Breedlove said, "I need a tire that can take it. One that's practically indestructible. I'm going to go 400 to 500 miles an hour. That's two to three times as fast as they drive at Day tona or Indianapolis. This has got to be more than just a racing tire. When I get to top speed, the tires will have about 100 tons of centrifugal force trying to pull them to pieces. That's why I came to Goodyear because you people have the know-how." Goodyear engineers began to design, produce, and test the land speed tires. Most of the tire was cord . . . for strength. The cord was treated with Goodyear'i exclusive 3-T triple -tempering, triple -toughening process ... the same 3-T processing that goe3 into all Goodyear auto tires. Each tire was tested on Goodyear's multi-stage dy namometer at speeds in excess of 600 miles per hour. Not one failed! LmilT'''0"''-'"' '"' j-iii, mm-' Goodyear engineer checks 4-foot high tires. Special Goodyear high-speed dynamometer test simulated the 12,110 pounds of centrifugal force that is exerted at the tread surface at speeds of more than 600 mph. Craig Breedlove first American to hold the Land Speed Record in 35 years. Breedlove built the "Spirit" in his garage. His estimate of a $10,000 car was ex ceeded ten-fold, before the car even left for the Salt. TIRE OF THE FUTURE In the making of Breedlove's record breaking tires, Goodyear scientists and engineers came up with de velopments and discoveries that will affect the tires you drive for many years to come. Goodyear engineers say that the tire of the future may well be built around a key design feature of these land speed record tires. When Craig Breedlove and his Spirit of America started at the far end of the 10-mile black stripe that marks' the Bonneville course, he knew he was riding on the finest tires in the world. With that worry off his mind ... he sped to the record speed of 407.45 mph . . . and became the fa? f n"t man on earth. Torfay you con get the benefit of Goodyear's superior ' high-speed developments in great, new Tufsyn tires.
