Saxton Will Be
Fighting Champ

NEW YORK R-Johnny Saxton,
the new welterweight champion of
the world is going to be fighting
titleholder, his manager said today
but just who his first opponent
will be still is not certain.
maybe we will go to the coast
to box Ramon Fuentes over the
weight" said Saxton's pilot, Frank
Palmero. After that, maybe Car
men Basilio. First, let us get used
to having the title. My boy wants
to be fighting champion. You
will see a better fighter next
time"
The fact that Saxton promises to
be fighting champion was greet
ed with something less than en-
thuSiastic response in boxing cir
Giles after his performance last
Wednesday when he won the title
from Kid Gavilan.
Philadelphia, scene of the fight,
wants no part of it. Robert K.
Christenberry, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Commits.
sion said he would not recognize a
rematch as a championship fight.
Saxton has one title defense
lined up. That would take place in
Syracuse, N. Y, against Carmen
Basilio, the. home grown fighter
who rated the first crack at Gavi
lan's title anyhow. The Interna.
tional Boxing Club probably viii
cosponsor it with Norman Roths
child, Syracuse promoter.
Christenberry said he would "not
recognize any title match between
Saxton and anybody else except
Basilio," adding that he'd like 4
have the match staged within q
days.

Big Cro,Od
Seen For
Tilt Tonight

Coach Walter Chwalik's
Junior Conchs will be gun
ming for their third straight
victory tonight when they
meet the Miami Tech B
squad in a game set for 8
o'clock in the high school
stadium.
Fresh from a $50 win ov-
er the Miami Beach Jay
Wees, the Conchs are in top
shape for another victory.
They gained a 1910 decision
over the Hialeah JayVees
in an early season clash.
Exact lineup tonight was deter.
mined by the amount of action,
some members saw last night in
the Key West constance clash. I'm
der state athletic association rules,
if player participates in varsi-
ty game, he is ineligible for jay
wee football until the following
week.
The Conchs will need all the
strength they can muster in the
face of a strong Tech club well
drilled in the same sort Of football
that gave the Conch varsity so
much trouble in their debacle.
Diminutive Johnny Williams, a
115-pounder who provides the drive
for Key West despite his size, will
be on tap. Others slated for plenty
of action are Paul Higgs, Doug Al
len, Danny Oropeza and Ed Wash
burn. A
Linemen are Wayne Albury, Earl

and Bill Rojas.

game with the return of defensive

The Eagles rate 312 point favor
ties. A Steeler victory, coupled

Cannon Calls
Patterson 'A.Jet'
BY JACK HAND

NEW YORK R-"That Patterson
is a jet. Marciano is a bomber.
Maybe they'll match me next time
with just a plain fighter"
That was Joe Gannon's reaction
to last nights losing effort against
Floyd Patterson, the 19,year-old
former Olympic champion, in the
Madison Square Garden debut Of
both fighters. Cannon usually is
one of Rocky Marciano's sparring
partners.
81 didn't know he could hit that
hard" said Cannon, a former
Washington, D. c. cop. 81 couldn't
catch my breath from the third
round on"
Patterson set a terrific pace,
trying to make a hit in the Garden.
He moved so fast that he often
found himself throwing punches
from off balance positions, missing
and walking into punches that new
er should have hit him.
Gathering all his fury into one
burst in the last, round of the eight
round bout, Patterson broke Gan
mons nose and finally dropped him
on his back, draped over the bot
tom rope, at the final bell.
Referee AL Berl had it Gil and
both judges, Bert Grant and Artie
Aidala, scored it 6-2, all for Pat
terson. The AP card agreed with
the judges.

The victory, Key Vests fifth
straight against no defeats, left the
Conchs . battered group Of ball
players. Constance, by the same
token, was hardly the same chip
per gridiron combination that took
the field earlier in the evening,
when the debacle had reached its
conclusion. Last nights win kept
Key West and Miami Beach in a
tie for the Gold Coast Conference
lead. Miami Beach plays South
Dade tonight. The Conchs journey
to Miami Beach for showdown
battle which will probably decide
The crown.
Things looked dark indeed for
The Conchs after the first two plays
IN last nights contest produced in
juries to two key performers.
Key West kicked off and Joe
Rojas took the ball on his own six
to drive back to the Is where he
was hit hard by Joe Russo and
Johnny DeMerritt. DeMerritt, key
man in his line-backing capacity
IN the Conchs defensive alignment,
was injured on the play.
Then, on the first play from
scrimmage. burly Julio Henriquez
was racked up and that was all
for him for the evening.
Line coach Allen hurriedly SUBJ
stituted a pair Of second stringers,
Lew McLain and Roxy Albury.
Both rose to the occasion and play
ed magnificent football in the face
Of a monstrous Pioneer forward
wall. Frank Hood, although suffer-
ing from q recurrent leg injury
was shifted to center to replace
DeMerritt.
Meanwhile, Constance paced by
Rojas and Joe Ryan, marched to
q pair Of quick first downs on the
50 yard line before the Conchs dug
In and forced them to punt.
With Red Stckney probing
around the ends, and Mike Gates
bulling through the middle, the
Conchs could 60 nowhere and they
punted out Of danger to the Con-
stance Al where Carbonell covered
the ball.
The Conchs really showed their
defensive mettle at this point.
On the first play the Pioneers
tried, Carbonell and DeMerritt,
now back in the ball game, hit
Ludwig for a three yard loss. Then
Russo pulled a repeat when he
spilled Rojas. Left end Ronnie
Parks then dumped Rojas back on
the rs as he was attempting to
pass. Constance again punted but
the kick was short and wobbly UP
TO the 40.
Mike Gates picked up five yards
off tackle and Stickney supplied a
Conch first down with two five
yard efforts around left end.
A five yard penalty put Key
West on the Pioneer SO from where
Haney uncorked the first of two
perfect touchdown passes for the
evening.
Displaying his usual GOODNESS,
despite a hard rushing Constance
line, Haney lofted perfect aerial
which John Carbonel took over his
shoulder on the II yard line. A few
strides took him into the end zone
with a minute and a half to 90 in
the first quarter.
Haney's kick was no good, but
the Conchs got another try when
Constance was penalized for rough
ing the ball holder. This time,
Haney elected to run the ball and
