NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (AP)
"A l0-man syndicate headed
by Roy NJ. Cohn appeared today
to be gaining ground in its
efforts to promote a return
heavyweight title fight between
Champion Ingemar Johansson
and Challenger Floyd Patterson
in New York next June.
Cohn, a former assistant to
the Attorney General who once
served as counsel to a Senate
investigating subc o m nit e
headed by the late Senator
Joseph R. Mccarthy, confirmed
that his group has purchased
two-thirds stock interest in the
now defunct Rosenhohn Enter
prices, Inc, from Vincent j,
Velella.
He said he hoped to obtain
the one-third interest held by
Bill Rosensohn and thus insure
a title fight at Yankee Stadium
next summer.
Purchase Price Substantial"
Cohn said theSpurchase price
was substantial" but declined
to name the figure. Velella re-
portedly had sought $l50,000
for his stock. Velella is a New
York lawyer who has been
barred from promoting fights
in this State by the New York
State Athletic Commission.
He is under indictment for
perjury as an aftermath of the
first JohanSson-Patterson fight
last summer in which the
Swedish fighter won the world
championship by knocking out
Patterson in three rounds.
Cohn said he had "a lengthy
and most satisfactory telephone
conversation" with Edwin Ahl-
quist at Goteborg. Sweden,
about obtaining the stock and
staging the fight here. Ahl-
quist is JohansSon's adviser
He said his group wanted the
Johansson-Patterson fight in
New York and desired an abso-
lutely clean promotion.
ROsensOhn Happy
Rosensohn said he was very
happy that Cohn's group has
purchased Velella's stock, but
declined to say whether he in
| tended to sell his stock.
| The Cohn grouD'S acquisition
of the remaining one-third in
terest would virtually eliminate
another syndicate, headed by
Joe Topper, from any consid-

Christian and Clemson, two
teams which held little i'm
mediate appeal to Southeast
Texans.
The attendance figure broke
the bowl inaugural record of
$4,000 set by the Sugar Bowl
in l935-as did the Liberty
Bowls Penn State-Alabama
match several hours earlier. A
chilled crowd Of 1921 turned
out for that one in Phila-
delphia.
Houston enjoyed perfect foot
ball weather with the mercury
in the high SOS, clear skies and
a light north wind. And Glenn
son enjoyed taking TCU into
camp, 23-7, with a 20-point
burst in the fourth quarter.
Elvin Smith, pipeline execu-
tive and president OF the
Greater Houston Bowl Associa-
ton, earlier estimated the two
schools would get about $780,
900 each for the days work.
Smith spiked reports that the
two were given 100000 guar
antees for appearing in the
bowl. Schools approached
earlier, he said, were given
such guarantees. but not TCU
and Clemson.
Houston newspapers theorized
that a Bluebonnet Bowl pitting
Texas or Texas AIM against
any sort of opponent would
have been sellout.
"TCU isn't a very attractive
team for people down here. -
Smith admitted after the game.
But it turned out TO be a real
good scrap"
He said an auditing Of the
game receipts - and each
schools share - would not be
complete for several days.

on whether the Bluebonnet be
held before the Christmas holi-
days again next year.
The date is fine with u.s.

official for CHS. The network

CHALLENGE TO NEW LEAGUE
NFLFronchise Sought
By Twin Cities Group

if an NIL team comes in here
or that it can be beaten in a
box Office fight if the improbable
happens and two pro teams get
started in the Twin Cities next
season.
Advised by Owners
'Haugsrud said he has talked
with seven or eight National
League owners and was ad-
vised to make his application.
Il was told the National League
definitely will add two teams
in 1861" he said.
Under terms of his transfer
of the Duluth franchise to
Orange. N. j.. in the late 1920s,
Haugsrud said, the NFL agreed
to give him first claim on any
subsequent franchise grant in
Minnesota. The Duluth fran
chise ultimately wound up in
Washington by way of Orange
and Boston.
An estimated 81 million would
be needed to get an NIL team
going in the Twin Cities, Haug-
srud said. He claimed to have
enough backing from area busi-
nesSmen to raise the money.
In Philadelphia, Austin Gun
sci, acting NIL commissioner,
said the application by Haug-
srud's. group would be consid-
cred along with others at the
league meeting next month.
The latest move is the sec
ond effort by NIL sympathizers
to get a National League band
wagon rolling here. In the
midst of the American League
organizational meeting in Min
neapolis last month, George
Halas of the Chicago Bears
wired local interests that 10
of IL NFL clubs would vote
to put an NFL team in Mime
apolis-St. Paul next year.

Ready 10 Take
Job al Illinois

CHAMPAIGN, Il, Dec. 81
(AP). - Pete Elliott, former
Michigan star and football
coach at California for the
last three years. appears ready
to take over the head coach
ing job at Illinois.
Elliott was interviewed here
Saturday night by Illini officials.
On his return to San Fran
cisco yesterday he said there
Is strong possibility" that he
will become Illinois coach.
Elliott and Dave Nelson,
head coach at Delaware, long
have been regarded the top
cnoiceS to succeed Ray Eliot.
Eliot stepped aside at the
end of the 1859 season to be-
come assistant athletic direc-
tor after coaching the Illini for
l8 years.
Nelson, 80, a Michigan
graduate who gained football
fame as strategist and helped
devise the wing-T offense, was
considered the top candidate
a week ago. However, Nelson's S
name has not been as prom
inent the last few days.
Others Also interviewed
Illinois Athletic Director Doug
Mills yesterday said Elliott's
interview was routine and that
half a dozen other candidates
have been interviewed in the
same manner.
Mills has managed to keep
secret the names of those in
terviewed, with the exceptions
Of Elliott and Nelson.
/ After Mills talked to Nelson
some two weeks ago, the Della
ware coach said:
He mills asked if l was
interested, and I told him l
might be. But I would have to
know what was being offered
before l could say I would take
the job" Nelson said the Job
was not offered to him at the
time.
Meet Earlier in Denver
Elliott, 80, said his weekend
meeting with Illini officials was
a followup of an earlier session
with Mills in Denver.
I'VE met to talk things over
in greater detail" he said.
They got to know me and !
got to know what they had in
mind. Any further comment
will have to come from Illinois. "
Elliott played football, bas-
ketball and golf at Michigan
and became the only 12-letter
man in the schools history.
His brother, Chalmers Bump
Elliott, is head football coach
at Michigan.

Haugsrud's application, and
