— w Marciano Is Winner By KO In 9th Round NEW YORK (INS) —Rocky Marciano, weighing his fistic future in terms of emotion, pride, memories and money, considered today the possibility of retiring as undefeated heavyweight champion of the world. 'Marciano dramatically cartved himself another niche in boxing annals Wednesday night when he punished and knocked out Archie Moore in 1:19 of the ninth round to retain his precious crown. it was the sixth successful defense by the 31-year-old Sultan of Swat, the 49th straight victory of , bis unblemished professional ca- ' reer and the 43rd in which he won via the knockout route. Historically, it was one of the most exciting heavyweight brawls ever fought, a breathtaking spectacle for $1,574 fans at Yankee Stadium, and the moat lucrative show ever staged by the international Boxing Club. But it was more. To Marciano it was •‘the toughest fight of my career.” To Moore, the courageous old man who had the champion down on the canvas in the second round only to have Marciano bull back and give him savage, relentless retaliation, it was a losing but glory filled payoff for 20 years of ring hard knocks. To Marciano's mother and wife it was another fight —a ndthey hoped it would be his last. In its aftermath the champion, his left eye damaged and puffed, his supposed Achilles nose the victim again of its owner’s trade, somberly admitted that “my mother and my wife want me to stop. My mother never wanted me to start, you know.” Rocky, with practically no human extant in sight with ability to depose him, was asked if he plans to quit the ring. "Right now I don’t know,” he said, almost humbly. “I’ll have to think it over.” He said he might give Moore anotther chance "M the—people Merr- ’ “ ~ * Certainly, If Manager Al Weill or the IBC has anything to say about it, Marciano won’t be hanging up his gloves just right away. The IBC had the distinction of hitting its first million dollar gate, boxing’s first such attraction since the second Joe Louis-Billy Conn brawl in 1946. The IBC consumed an estimated $940,000 in ticket money and realized some $300,000 more from theater network television. The thrilling struggle was piped into 129 theaters in 92 cities from coast to coast. For his troubles, Marciano receives approximately $500,000 and Moore gets an estimated $350,000. Moore, who admits to 38 years, was the first to bring the frenzied crowd to its collective feet. In the second round the light heavyweight champion, a quarter pound less than Rocky at 188, decked the Blockton, Mass., mauler for a two count with an explosive right cross. It was the second knockdown for Marciano in his eight-year career. The other one was scored by Jersey Joe Walcott on Sept. 23, 1952, the night Rooky knocked out the Jersey teddy bear to win the game’s biggest prize. But Moore was not to become the oldest challenger ever to ascent the heavy throne. Marciano weathered this storm and came back with a merciless assault f«ta the third round on. The incredibly powerful champion stung Archie with devastating left hooks and rights, pinning him repeatedly against the ropes and sent him down twice in the sixth round with rights to the chin for counts of four and eight. Moore was rescued by the bell. Commission Dr. Vincent Nardiello examined him after this round and again after the eighth in which the bell again gave old Arch sanctuary in the wake of a Marciano barrage which , had him squatting' on the canvas, a picture of helplessness. Dreamland came early in the ninth when Archie, his right eye ballooned out of shape like a mistreated piece of clay, fell in a sitting position in his qorner under a volley of Marciano bombs.

The Yanks rolled up a 7 to 0 lead in five innings against Charlie Dressen's cellar dwellers but then sounded the alarm for two more pitchers as the Nats scored three in the seventh. Bill Skowron’s rnn scoring triple ih the third actually proved the margin of victory but a three run homer by • Billy Martln-his first circuit clout since hanging up his army uniform-was the big blow. Bob Turley had a two hitter through six innings before lack of control got the best of him. But five double plays helped him notch his 17th win. Chicago southpaw Jack Harshman all but shut the door on Cleveland by spacing five hits to beat the Tibe for the fifth time this season.

SMU Favorite To Defeat Notre Dame SOUTH BEND, Ind. (INS) —For the first time in three years, Notre Dame found itself in the underdog role today but youthful football coach Terry Brennan was taking it in stride. •’You've got to expect those things once In a while.” Terry admitted, and added: “We've been pretty lucky, but now I’ve got a pretty green team. We’re playing a greatly Improved club in Southern Methodist Saturday so there is good reason to see why we’re not favored.” Brennan admitted his Irish squad was ’’inexperienced’’ and said he would have to start four sophomores against the Mustangs when Notre Dame launches its 67th grid campaign at South Bend. The game is a sellout. An Injury to Captain Rey Lemek will give first year man Ed Sullivan a chance at Lemek’s right tackle post Lemek was a guard last year bits. shifted to tackle by Brennan. Other sophomores named to start are left end Dick Prendergast, Aubrey Lewis, right half, and right guard Bob Gaydos. Meanwhile, the Mustangs will engage in their final drills in Dallas. Tex., -before flying to South Bend Friday. SMU last beat Notre Dame in 1950, 27 to 20, when passing sensation Fred Benners made things uncomfortable for the Irish. This year, however, reports from the SMU camp indicate that Coach Chalmer Woody Woodard, will rely mainly on a ground attack, as its 1954 passing wizartj Duanne Nutt has graduated. High among Woodward’s elite corps of running backs are John Marshall, Don Mcllhenny, Hal O’Brien and John Roach. Marshall set a new Southwestern conference record last year by averaging 8.4 yards per carry. SMU will send nine seniors and two juniors against the Irish with the line averaging 204 pouuds. The all senior backfield averages 185 pounds per man.
