OVER A NATIONAL TELEVISION net
work Saturday night a strange sight indeed
was transmitted from Las Vegas-a real,
authentic boxing match. The NBA's mid
dleweight champion, Gene Fullmer, was
defending against Benny kid Paret, the
welterweight ruler, and it was a throwback.
1t was furious and brutal and the
viewers, live or freebie, didn't laugh as they
had in the Nations theaterS earlier in the
week when Tom McNeeley was the sacri-
ficial lamb for Heavyweight Champion
Floyd Patterson and one Albert Westphal
was ditto for No. Contender Sonny Liston.
In fact, some of the large sprinkling of
blondS at ringside were seen looking away
from the bloodshed
Mostly, now, the fight racket is good
for laughs. You go to theater and If the
old sense of humor isn't there you've kissed
off Sc, minimum. Where they ever dug up
Westphal-and how the Pennsylvania State
Athletic Commission ever approved him
is mystery. He was a joke when he walked
into the ring with his long bright locks and
the trapeze artists footwear.
IT almost thought he'd have valet
spraying the ring with cologne" was the
comment of our towns voluntarily idle box
ing promoter, Goldie Ahern. HE looked
like Gorgeous George, the rassler, only I
don't think the bum could lick George"
THEN FROM LONDON came a thought
provoking dispatch. Fora Foley, who per-
sistently fancies himself heavyweight con-
tender, tags Henry Cooper, No. 2 contender,
and Fora is one-punch, secondround
winner. The dispatch in mind described
it "one of the most stunning upsets in Brit
ish boxing history"
No British boxing writer we've en-
countered could have written these extrava-
CANT words, because they don't hold that
Cooper is, or was, much heavyweight. He
couldn't be because Gus D'Amato, who
manages Patterson, had singled Henry to
be his champions opponent in '62 and Gus
doesn't choose casually. If DAmato isn't
sure of his opponent he creates one, to wit,
Brian London, Pete Rademacher, Roy Har-
ris, McNeeley.
D'Amato has made only one serious
mistake and that was after getting some
bad information on Ingemar JohanSson.
But, then, it turned out to be a windfall.
In tipping over Patterson in their first
fight lingo helped Gus and his tiger to
make lot of money in two rematcheS
One of the British writers mournfully
surveyed the wreckage of lingo last March
at Miami Beach. And to think that he's
the best fighter overseas" he lamented.

close in the second half until
Izo's long throw to Dugan

Dick James, the days lead
ing ground-gainer with SO

came unhinged and he left the
game.
/ Time Doesn't Bother Layne
/ What made Layne's day so
complete and so irritating to
the Redskins and their sup
porters was the ease with which
he operated when seemingly
pressed for time.
The Redskins. for example,
tied it up at TT with only 38
seconds left in the first half.
But two passes from Layne to
Preston Carpenter and Dial for
l6 and II yards. respectively,
moved the ball into position for
a 42-yard field goal by left
footed Lou Michaels. So the
Steelers left the field at inter-
mission with 10-7 lead.

If the Redskins had any illu-
sionS about catching the visit
ors. they were dispelled with
one minute left in the third pc
riod when Bobby hit Mack with
a six-yard pass that made it
24-7. This ended a 96-yard drive
on which the big pitch was a
5l-yard pass to John Henry
johnson.
Simpson Intercepts Pass
Layne's fourth score was
made possible by Jackie Simp-
son. who intercepted one of
Izo's tosses and ran 10 yards to
WaShington's 81. A 12-yard toss
to Carpenter set up the payoff
to Dial. AS noted above, only
"A seconds were left.
Steve Junker, who scored two
touchdowns the day before to
help Fort Eustis defeat GUAM
tico in the Missile Bowl, caught
a 38-yard strike from Snead to
set up Washington's first
touchdown. The Vineyard scor-
ing pass went to Dugan, who
played with a loose-fitting cast
on his broken left hand.
The same pair, Junker and
Dugan, were utilized in setting
up the Redskins second score.
Dugan took one from Izo for
80 yards and another for seven.
