Marciano Is Big Favorite To Whip Moore NEW YORK (INS) —Tomba: ready and both daringly confidant, heavy wegiht champion Rocky Marciano and challenger Archie Moore planned flying trips to New York today for their showdown battle Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. The undefeated Marciano risks his title against ageless traveller Moore and is a 3 to 1 favorite to whip the cocky old warrior in a meeting of 15 rounds or less. Their training periods history, the gladiators-with an assist from the weatherman-hoped to leave 1 their respective bases by plane for bn airborne invasion of the big town. In any case, they’ll both be on hand for Rocky’s sixth defense of bis previous crown. Riding for Marciano in this, probably, the sternest trial of his unblemished career, is a string of 48consecutive yictories.and a kayo wallop that has petrified 42 foes. The Moore will become "43” is ' as controversial as the factual age of the light heavyweight champion. But the betting boys have made it 9 to 5 that the end will come for Archie not too long after the 10:30 p. m. EDT. beginning. Unmoved by it all, Moore concluded his workouts at his North Adams, Mass., camp Sunday and predicted he will make momentous news via Rocky's ultra sensitive nose. The bloody possibilities associated with a relentless attack on the a champ's beak could lead to a TKO. And Moore, who confesses to be the better boxer and measures an eight and a half inch advantage in reach, promised to give Marci-

I ano a nose job he won’t soon forget. To make certain. Archie turned in a lOS-round training stint, most ever for him. And he plans to make Tuesday’s weigh-in at 186 pounds, one less than the champ. * Marciano's devastating punch will be working against the challenger.. The 31-year-old Rocky from Brockton, Mass., turned in 116 boxing heats since setting up shop at Grossinger’s, N. Y., an amount below his usual pre-battle grind. But Rocky has been relaxed and has looked sharp — which means hungry and deadly. The International Boxing Club has tub-thumped the brawl extensively and hopes that more than 40,000 in person ring addicts show at the stadium. This would make the box office take close to or at 1 the three quarter of a million mark. More than a million dollars is ■ expected from • theater television i rights. The bout will be viewed by 400,000 persons in 92 cities from coast to coast.

Yankees Boost League Margin To Two Gaines NEW YORK (INS) —• bo, the poor American League. Those incredible New York Yankees are breathing almost sure fire pennant air today and everybody else Is dead — or dying. The Yankees just about put the clamps on their Sixth flag in seven years, when they downed the Boston Red Sox. 3to 2, Sunday to take a mountainous two game lead over the fast-fading Cleveland Indians. While the Bombers were completing a three-game sweep of the Red Sox to mathematically end Boston's miseries, the Indians and the wrong way Chicago Go Sox receveide death dealing blows. The Detroit Tigers made it three straight and the Tribe suffered its fourth loss in a row when the Bengals belted the defending champions, 10 to 3. In one horrifying plunge, the Indians dipped two lengths behind, three in the all important loifk column. The awful truth is that the Yankees have seven games to play and Cleveland has five. if the Yanks win five it is all over no matter what Cleveland does. And the Bombers need win only four to be certain of a tie. The Yankees have three games left with Washington, beginning with an arclignter tonight and four more with the Red Sox in Boston. Cleveland goes to Chicago for a pair beginning Tuesday and then on to Detroit for three with the Tigers. The White Sox, who have five games left, fell five behind—six in the loss column—when they lost, 8 to 1, to the Kansas City Athletics. The Yankees, playing their last home game of the season, showed 54,501 customers their World Series desires as they bested old nemesis Willard Nixon. Featuring the Bomber victory was a sensational relief stint by Bob Grim. The sophomore right hander pitched seven innings of no-hit, no-run ball. He took over for starter Bob Turley in the third inning after the Bosox tied the score on Jackie Jensen’s two-run homer. Nixon gave up two runs in the first inning when he allowed three of the Yankees’ seven bits and the Yanks edged across the winning tun (unearned) in the fifth. Grim, the Yankees’ 20 game rookie of the year in 1954. was credited with his sixth triumph in 11 decisions. He faced 22 men and retired the last 16 in order. Lefty Bob Miller and Dick Marlowe rationed the Indians to seven hits. Miller is the young man Bucky Harris started against the Yankees last week. They beat the southpaw. A home run by Al Kaline put the Tigers in business in the opening frame against Mike Garcia. The Big Bear and relief whiz Ray Narleski were the victims as the Tigers iced matters with six runs in the sixth. Two four-run innings, one highlighted by Gua Zeraial’s grandslam homer, brought the Athletics their triumph over the White Sox. Art Ditmar won his 12th game for Kansas City and Dick Donovan absorbed his ninth loss for the Chisox, who were dropping their 11th game in their last 18 efforts. In the other A. L. contest, the Baltimore Orioles moved into a tie for seventh place with Washington when they beat the Nats for the fourth straight time, 9 to 0. Jim Wilson handled the whitewash brush with a five-hitter. Aside from the continued home run derby, the big doing in the National League was Milwaukee’s clinching of second place. The Braves nailed down second spot when they beat the St. Louis »Cardinals, 2 to 1 on George Crowe’s two oift single in the 11th inning. The champion Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the New York Giants, 7 to 5, despite Willie Mays’ 48th home run. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh split. The Phillies won the second game, 2 to 1 after the Pirates took the opener, 5 to 2:. The Cincinnati 'Red legs scored seven runs in the fifth inning to beat the Chicago Cubs, 12 to 5. Ted Kluszewski banged his 46th homer of the year and Joe Nuxhall recorded his 17th victory.

UCLA Ranked As Top College Football Team NEW YORK (INS) —College football fans won't have long to waitno longer than this weekend-to start comparing the- merits of the leading candidates for 1955 national championship honors. UCLA and Michigan, rated onetwo in pre-season estimates by International News Service's panel of experts, play Maryland and Missouri, respectively, on Saturday. Those engagements took on added significance over the past weekend when highly touted Maryland was fortunate to scrape through to a 13 to 12 victory over underdog Mizzou. Only a pair of mised extra points prevented the Tigers from exacting stunning revenge for last Thanksgiving Day’s 74 to 13 humiliation by the Terrapins before a nationwide TV audience. UCLA triumphed about as expected, 21 to 0, in its Friday night game with Texas A. & M.. much publicized transfer tailback Ronnie Knox throwing three touchdown passes. With only four of the INS panel’s pre-season "top ten’’ seeing action in the weekend dress rehearsals, the xeperts not only left UCLA at the bead of the class but made only one shuffle in this week's rankings. Maryland dropped from fourth to seventh place. Southern California, flexing its muscles with a 50 to 12 rout of Washington State, moved into fourth place. The rankings: 1. UCLA; 2. Michigan; 3. Oklahoma; 4. Southern California; 5. Southern Methodist; 6. Ohio State; 7. Maryland; 8. Georgia Tech; 9. Auburn; 10. Navy. The INS panel is composed of famous coaches Andy Kerr and Bernie Bierman and grid writer and editor Francis J. Powers, all now talent scouts for the Shrine East — West game; sportscaster Harry Wismer, INS reporter columnist Bob Considine and INS . Sports Editor John Barrington. i Aside from UCLA, Maryland and Southern California, only top ten- i ner to see action was Georgia . Tech.
