All But Signed
For June Date

GOTEBORG, Sweden, Feb. 5
(AP). - Ingemar Johansson's
adviser says the return match
with Floyd Patterson for the
heavyweight boxing champion
ship is all set for New York in
June, except for the signing.
Edwin Ahlquist, the cham
pion's adviser, said yesterday
that only "technicalities" pre-
vented an actual signing In
New York last week. He said
the champion will return to
America later this month to
sign.
Bill Fugazy. one of the chief
executives of Feature Sports,
Inc, the new promotional
group. said in New York the
fight would be held in the
Polo Grounds during the week
Of June 1925.
Get TV Money
"The only thing holding us
UP is getting our license from
the New York State Athletic
Commission" he said. 1--WE hope
TO get it this week. When we
do. we will apply for a date. "
Fugazy said the contract for
radio, television and movies was
being renegotiated so the fight
ers would share 70 per cent of
the ancillary rights. In the
original agreement, purchased
by Feature Sports, these rights
belonged to Floyd Patterson En-
terprises. FugaZy said each
fighter will get rs per cent of
the actual gate receipts.
Ahlquist named Monday
June 20, as the likely date for
the rematch. He said Johans-
son would be able to pick up
$4,000 Of his $153,000 purse
from the first match after he
signed.
Third Fight "If"
The ampion's adviser
claimed the new contract calls
for a third fight If Johansson
loses but frees him from any
further commitments If he
wins.
Feature Sports, Inc, is a
new eight-man group headed
by Roy Cohn, former counsel to
the Senate Investigating SUBJ
committee under the late Sena-
tor Joe Mccarthy.
Johansson knocked out Pat

LOS ANGELES, Feb. S (AP).
Champions Jose Becerra, the
bombing bantamweight, and
Carlos Ortiz, kingpin of the
junior welterweights, still had
their titles today and promoters
who lured 1880 fans for the
first fight card in Memorial
Coliseum were busy dividing

Becerra could easily be
elected President of his Mexi-

Alphonse Halimi of French AL

And Ortiz, sharpshooting New
Yorker, added another strong
argument to his case for a crack
at Lightweight Champion Joe
Browns title with his 10th
round knockout Of 18-year-old
Raymundo CBattling) Torres of
Mexico.
Many of the fans who sat in
the chilly Coliseum had hoped
the rematch between Becerra
and the determined Halimi
would be a carbon copy of the
little gamecock's savage battle
last July, when Becerra won
the title by an eighth-round

But Halimi, lit, boxing deft-

Torres, 1873, admitted later
that he Just couldn't take any

him repeatedly with fierce

held the youngster up.
In his dressing room, the 23-

Ospreys will readily accept a cart

nests on the ground.

Straightjacket Conformity
THE South's extreme cul-
tural and ethnic homogene-
ity," he concludes, was
transformed into straitjacket
conformity and intolerance =.
In rejecting Yankee thought
and Yankee mind, Southern
ers closed their minds on
every other important social
doctrine as well. The results
were a general intolerance
of intellectualism, an accept
ance of violence as an ulti-
mate weapon against nom
conformity and dissent, and
a corruption of higher edu-
cation as it, too, increasingly
repudiated innovation and
novelty in thought and be-

In all these respects "the
Southern tradition of con-

handicap to regional eco

LORD BURGHLEY AND
QUEEN ELIZABETH (Alfred

"All the Queens Men" is
not a great novel. nor does
it add substantially to our
information about the COM
manding woman who brought
England to her greatest
glory. But it is fascinating
because it is about her.
The Queens FavOrite
The story is mainly con-
cerned with the long, COM
plex relationship between
Elizabeth and her favorite
Robert Dudley. whom she
made Earl of Leicester and
the greatest man in Eng
land. Miss Anthony does
full justice to those dramatic
days when the choleric, ar
rogant Leicester, had his
wife Amy, dispatched so
that he might better his
chances of becoming the
Queens conSort.
1t is Miss Anthony's con-
tention that Leicester, de-
spite the royal liberties al
lowed him, never had a
chance at this ultimate
honor. With ELIZABETH, she
thinks, "the passion for
power was truly greater than
the lusts of the flesh" In
the end Elizabeth tanned this
tiger, turning him into a
perfect courtier, bending his
ambition to service, and
even, Miss Anthony thinks,
to love (although he had
