Patterson Says
Contract Holds LiSfon
To Return Bout

Yonkers, N. Y. (ANP) - De-
throned heavyweight mpi o n
Floyd Patterson, who has been in
seclusion since losing the title to
Sonny Lston in Chicago last Sept
25, returned here last week to
spend the Christmas and New
Years Day holidays with his fam.
lily expressing confidence he'll get
a return title bout with Lston ir
March or April.
Soothing at reports that Listor
may pass him up to fight either
Harold Johnson or Ingemar Jo-
hanson, Patterson said:
I'm spite of all the stories about
my return fight with Sonny, the
fact remains that Sonny and ]
have a solid contract for a re-
turn match.
Sonny wants the return fight
wants to keep his word. And
want it because that's the only
way I can win back my champion
ship"
Until recently, Patterson, who
has been training secretly, was
virtually silent about the return
bout.

BeIlamY's Play
With InqrofiFude

Chicago (ANP) - The Chicago
Zephyrs, a team composed largely
Of few seasoned veterans, a few
starry-eyed rockies, a newcomer
coach to the National Basketball
Assn, and one of the greatest
stars in pro basketball, has been
waging a frustrating campaign in
the NBA for the past two years.
On the teams roster are such
capable veteran performers as
Texas Southern's Woody Saulds-
berry and former Duquesne star
Sihugo Green; and a quintet of
promising rookie stars in Terry
Dischinger of Purdue, Charles
Hardnet Of Gramblng college;
Bill McGill Of Utah, Don Nelson
Of Iowa and Mel Novel; of Ohio
State. The coach is Bob Leonard,
who just replaced Jack Mcmahon.
But the big star and prize Of the
team is Walt BeIlamy, former In
diana university All American,
who has been carrying" the team
from the day it played its first
NBA contest.
A star Of the us. 1860 Olympic
team, Bellamy came to the then
Chicago Packers with outstanding
credentials. So far, Big Walt has
lived up to all expectations, and
more. In his first year in the NBA,
the ell, 230-pound Bellamy sur
vived the traditional baptism of
fire" and emerged at seasons end
as the unanimous choice for
Rookie of the Year" honors. To
gain such salutation, Walt played
sensational basketball. He was a
terror both on offense and defense.
He outscored such great stars
as Elgin Baylor of the Los An
geles Lakers, Oscar ("Big or
Robertson Of the Cincinnati Roy
ais and Bob Petit of the St. Louis
Hawks. Wilt Chamberlain alone,
the greatest scorer in basketball
history, topped Bellamy in scor-
ing. Waits 2,495 points was the
second highest total ever racked
up by a first year man in NBA
history.
Bellamy also outrebounded all
other players, except Chamberlain
and the great Boston Celtics star
Bill Russell; so outstanding was
Big Walt in all-around ability that
he was selected for NBA's Western
Division All-Star team last year.
Excepting Chamberlain, no other
player achieved so much in his
freshman year in pro ball, and
Bellamy did all that despite the
fact that he had the zephyrs on
his back. He has still another value

Cookie GiIchrisf
Crashes AFL
RuShinq Record

New York (ANP) - Cookie
Gilchrist, 234-peund fullback and
a veteran of Canadian pro football,
was voted the Player of the Year
in the American Football League
after he set a new league record
by becoming the first man in the
two-year loop to amass over 1000
yards rushing.
In breaking the AFL rushing
record, Gilchrist, a bruising runner
who has been ikened to the Cleve-
land Browns Jim Brown, chalked
up 1,O96 yards on PA carries to
nose out Dallas Abner Haynes,
and Houston's Charley Tolar.
In the balloting for Player of
the Year by committee of writ
ers of the Associated Press, Gill
christ, 27, garnered 13 of "a votes
cast. Len Dawson, Dallas quarter
back, was second with eight votes.
Explaining his struggle to gain
stardom, Gilchrist, elated over the
Player of the Year honor, said:
II have no college education so
it's been a question of money with
me all along. I had to battle all
the time for the kind of pay felt
I rated"
The Bills picked up Gilchrist
last August after he was waived
out of the Canadian League for a
reported $4,000, salary. He has
repaid the club three times that
amount by his outstanding play
during the 1862 season.
He came to the Bills with the
of being hard to handle,
which was probably the reason he
was waived out of the Canadian
League. He had gone to the Can
adian League fresh out of high
school. He said he had approached
the Browns for a job and was told
to go to Canada for seasoning.
