 Overlin
BY JACK CUDDY


 New York, March 8 - (U.P) = Billy Soose, the ex-collegiate "pret- ty boy" who suddenly turned killer, will get c crack at Ken Overlin's middleweight crown on May 9 by virtue of his magnificent perform Rnce last night at Madison Square Garden.
 No longer can the Farrell, Pa, Hash be unanswered out of Q title tilt with veteran Overlin after last nights impressive 12-round victory over rugged Ernie vigh-Billy's sec ond triumph within a month over the Iron Man. from Newburgh, N. Y.
 In this return match, soose not only won a lop-sided and unani- nous decision, but he also unleashed unexpected dynamite that fioored the squat, heavily-muscled Vigh In the first round, for the first time In Vigh's career. Billy hit the rugged up-stater 50 hard with that thun- dering straight right that Vigh claimed he was in daze until the 11th round, when T thought the fight was just starting."
 That knockdown punch and Billy's savage aggressiveness during the remaining sessions completely cap- tivated the 12,341 fans who had braved Q snowstorn and won Pro- moter Mike Jacobs whole-hearted approval. =.
 Jacobs said, "certainly Soose will meet Overlin in May. Meanwhile, I'd like to toss him in with the win- rer of Fridays fight between Steve Velloise and Tami Mauriello. Billy will draw @ lot of money now"
 Suggests Rest
 But Billy's manager, Paul Moss, declared, "I'd rather have Soose rest until May, or perhaps fight Ceferino Garcia ct Los Angeles while walt ing. After all, Soose already has licked Mauriello, and Oveflin beat Belloise twice."
 soose seemed different man last night from the lad who took hair line 10-round decision over Vigh on February 2. He amazed the fans by dynamiting vigh to the canvas after 30 seconds of the opening round. He is @ notoriously slow starter and vigh had him on the floor in the eighth round of their previous encounter.
 But last night Trainer Ray Arcel made Soose shadow-box six rounds in the dressing room before he en- tered the ring. He went in that" for tei first time in his career. More over, he had been needed mntally by Managr Moss and friend Toots Shov. They told him to go out ana knock Vigh dead because the pubic was more interested in dynamite than "daiptiness."
 Billy almost knocked Vigh dead In that first round. When that straight right connected with the button, Vigh fell forward as if he had been hit with @ double jack. His chin actual ly bounced off the canvas. But the Iron Man" rose at the count Of four. For almost two and @ nalt minutes Soose battred him about the ring, while the screaming fans wondered what held Ernie up. Vigh was driven into 8 neutral corner then half through the ropes in mid ring-then across the ring and half through the ropes again. But as the tumultuous session closed, the rug ged man from Newburgh was actu- ally fighting back-full tilt.
 Boxing Lesson
 vigh who scaled l60 1-2 pounds two less than the Farrell boxing master-won only one round on the United Press score sheet. That was the sixth. He fought on even terms in the second and seventh. During the rest of the bout Soose gave him a boxing lesson-snapping him With a lightning left jab, belaboring him at close quarters and rocking him with occasional straight rights. :.
 At the finish, Vigh's face looked as if he had trampled by wild horses--both eyes almost closed-his nose bleeding and his upper lip split. Soose suffered only 8 slight gash on his right forehead In a collision of f1oggins.
 Trainer Arcel said in the dressing room, "this was the fight in which Soose became man. He's the hard est puncher In his division and by far the best boxer. He's the hardest puncher in his division by far the best boxer. From now ntherell be no more close decisions. We'll let his right hand be the referee. His name
