Alloy
OF Derby

Jaclyn Stables Alloy, third
choice to Candy Spots and
N.ver Bend in the Kentucky
Derby, will not start in the
3-year-old classic. Trainer j.
Bowes Bond revealed at Laurel
yesterday.
The highly rated son of Sal
lor won the Swift States in
his 3-year-old bow but was
hit by a virus and the cough
ing epidemic at Laurel. His
training was held up for more
than a week, according to
Bond, although he now is re-
covering.
He is not ready to run a
mile and one-sixteenth for the
Chesapeake Stakes next Satur-
day and he can't possibly be
ready for a mile and a quarter
three weeks later" Bond said.

!. Army Boxer
Dies Following
KO in Benefit

CARBONDALE, Pa, April 6
zap "A 19-year-old amateur
boxer from Puerto Rico died
tonight after being knocked out
In the second round of a sched-
uled three-round bout during a
benefit boxing show at the Car
bondale Catholic Youth Center.
The victim, Francesca Velas-
tqueZ. who is in the Army and
Stationed at the nearby Toby
Q hama Depot, never regained
consciousness after being
knocked out by Earl johnson
of the st. Michael's school for
boys Of Hoban Heights, Pa.
Two doctors at ringside gave
Velasquez emergency treatment
: and when he failed to respond,
he was rushed to Carbondale
General Hospital, where he died
80 minutes later.
Fourth Death Of Year
Velasquez' death was the
fourth in the ring this year.
Omar Olive, 10, died February
y while training for an amateur
fight. Davey Moore, former
world featherweight champion,
died March rs Of head injuries
sustained in a championship
fight against Sugar Ramos in
Los Angeles March 81. Enso
Burelli. an amateur, died last
Tuesday after winning a bout
.at Brisbane. Australia.
Last year, Ring Magazine
listed IA deaths Of boxers, not
all in direct ring competition.
Since 1916, when Ring began
compiling a list. it has reported
PIT boxing deaths.
Velasquez, under Army regu-
lations, wore a head gear which
has been mentioned as one of
the possible safeguards of box
ers since the death of Moore.
Velasquez was the only fighter
on the program who took this
extra precaution.
Didn't Strike Post
Referee Dominick Perella de-
scribed the knockout blow as
landing in front of the ear,
high on the cheekbone. Perella
agreed with Chief Deputy Box
ing Commissioner William
Feldcamp, who was at ringside,
that the probable major dam
age occurred when Velasquez
fell backwards and his head
struck the ring.
HE fell cleanly." Feldcamp
said. "but the impact" may
have done most Of the damage.
Unlike the Moore tragedy,
-.Velasquez did not strike the
ring post or the turnbuckle.
Perella said there was no
indication that Velasquez was
hurt previous to the knockout
punch. He had the mouth
piece knocked out Of his mouth
about is seconds earlier. and
when ! picked II up he APP
peared distracted. While he
was Watching me, johnson de-
livered the right to the head
which dropped Velasquez."

Buckley Sets
ACC Record
ForAccurucy

GREENSBORO, N. c., Mar.
81 (AP).-Art Heyman of Duke
was officially confirmed as the
Atlantic Coast Conferences
scoring leader, but teammate
Jay Buckley walked off with
the only record, final league
statistics show.
Buckley, the 6-foot-10 center
from Cheverly, Nd, emerged
with a single-season conference
record for field-goal accuracy
Buckley made 1870 of 217 shots
from the floor-60 per cent.
The old record of ST. per cent
was set by Dukes Carroll
Youngkin In 1861.
Heyman, who got the Asso-
ciated Press National player
Of the-year award last night
In Asheville, N. c., closed out
his career with 1884 points and
an average of 24.9 for his SEN
fior season. He also finished
second to North Cardinals
Billy Cunningham in rebound
ing.
Heyman's total of TAT points
this season elevated him to the
No. 8 spot among ACC SINGLE
season pointmakers and made
him only the ninth ACC player
to score more than TOO points
in one season. His career total
fell short of the conference
record Of 2,l65 set last season
by Len Chappell Of Wake
Forest.
