Heavyweight Title Up For Grabs Tonight CHICAGO (UP) —Light heavyweight champion Archie Moore, ancient gypsy of the boxing trails, and youthful Floyd Patterson, the “Kangaroo Kid,” fight tonight for the vacant world heavyweight crown; and the winner will be either the oldest or the youngest heavy ruler in ring history. In the dazzling cone of light at Chicago Stadium, Moore of San Diego. Calif.—39 or 42—is slated for 15 rounds with Patterson of Brooklyn—2l or 20—to determine which shall ascent the throne left vacant by Rocky Marciano’s retirement last April 27. Each principal in this historic age-vs-youth contest has so many ring assets but also so many possible handicaps that the heavy betting by supporters of each has reached a stalemate of “even money.” Bookies are quoting “6-5 and pick ’em.” Big Crowd Expected Promoter Jim Norris expects a crowd approaching 18,000 to pay between $250,000 and $300,000 for the privilege of live-viewing the fight, which will be televised and broadcast nationally. It will be blacked out on a 150-mile radius in the Chicago area. Idoere will not be risking his pwn Tight heavyweight (175-pound) crown while getting his second shot at the far more valuable heavyweight laurels. But if he should win tonight, his light-heavy championship will be vacated automatically and immediately.

Edge On Experience Moore’s admirers believe he will turn the trick because of his vast experience in 156 fights against middle weights, light heavies and heavies during the past 20 years. In addition to his ringcraft, Moore is,credited with having the harder punch. He knocked out 90 opponents. Patterson’s 30-1-0 record includes 21 knockouts. He earned the right to fight Moore by winning a split 12-round decision over Tommy (Hurricane) Jackson at Madison Square Garden, lait June 8. But in that bout, he fractured his right hand. In three recent examinations, physicians said the break was healed perfectly. Nevertheless, whether the hand will survive Floyd’s 15-rounder tonight, is a major question. Fori Wayne Pistons End Syracuse Jinx By UNITED PRESS The Fort Wayne Pistons finally won a game at Syracuse and that means anything can happen now in the National Basketball Association. The Pistons cracked the pro circuit’s biggest jinx Thursday night when they defeated the Nationals at the War Memorial Auditorium, 92-87. It was the first time Fort Wayne had won at Syracuse in 27 NBA games. On March 13, 1948, Fort Wayne beat Syracuse at the old State Fair Ground court in the upper New York state city, but that was in a National Basketball League game before the two clubs joined the NBA. Fort Wayne plays Boston and New York meets Philadelphia in a double - header at Philadelphia to- , night.

Many Coaches Shilled Jobs In Prep Ranks INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — More than two dozen major Indiana high school basketball coaching positions changed hands since last season, a United Press survey showed today, and most conspicuous by his absence was Richmond’s Art Beckner. The personnel turnover was widespread. It reached from Whiting upstate, where Steve (Babe) Fowdy succeeded Pete Kovachic, to Evansville where Gene Logel was replaced by Ed Schultheis as Mater Dei mentor. But Beckner was the only still active coach of a* former state championship quintet to be missing. An academic dispute with Richmond’s school board led to his firing last spring—and before the excitement cooled down the incident was complete with school strike, demonstrations, and the hanging of a school official in effigy. Goes to Colorado Beckner, who came to Richmond after guiding Muncie Central to the state title in 1951, compiled an 82-46 record with the Red Devils, who landed in the Fieldhouse Four in 1953. He was succeeded by Bob Lochmueller, who had a brilliant 19-1 season record at Princeton last year and in three years at the downstate school won 63 of 74 games. Beckner, meanwhile, quit Hoosierland in a huff for a teaching job in Colorado. Frankfort and New Castle, like Richmond members of the North Central Conference, also have new hardwood coaches. George Bradfield succeeded Marvin Cave at Frankfort. Randall Lawson, formerly at Auburn, moved to New Castle, succeeding Marvin Wood, the “hero of Milan.” Wood, who master-minded the Ripley County boys to the state title in 1954, took on a gamble at North Central—Marion County’s new institution. Cosgrove at Franklin The Western and Southern Conferences each reported four coaching changes. In the WIC, Max Woolsey is new boss at Linton, succeeding Wayne Wakefield; Don McDonald, formerly of Salem, took over at Clinton for Bob Burton; William Jones succeeded Woody Mcßride at Sullivan, and Carl Bickley became hewS ma© Terre Whute State. ' In the SIAC, Loren Joseph moved from Shelbyville of the South Central to Bedford; Bill Richeson went to Princeton, and Bill Kirk to Tell City. Mater Dei is the other SIAC school with a new coach. Art Cosgrove, formerly at Tipton, succeeded Bob Evans at Franklin; Hank Potter, who once coached at Anderson, went to Martinsville, and Leroy Compton left Bluffton for Shelbyville, all in the SCC. In the Central Conference, former Purdue star Carl McNulty moved from Rochester to Elwood. Rochester hired Paul Rockwell away from Richland Center. Landry Has 2 Jobs Three Northeastern Conference schools also made switches. Bluffton signed Virgil Kirkpatrick; football coach Bill Koch also took over the cage sport at Fort Wayne Concordia, succeeding By Hey, and Gene Rhodes replaced Dick Barr at Kendallville. Southeastern Conference changes include Harry Olds at Salem, Jim Blevins at Brownstown, and Danny Kile at Vevay. Virgil Landry, another doubleduty man, was new at Auburn.

Milt Campbell Wins Olympics Decathlon Title MELBOURNE (UP) — Mighty Milt Campbell, a husky 22-year old sailor from Plainfield, N.J., won the classic decathlon today with feats of strength, speed and versatility unsurpassed in the recorded history at the Olympic Games. The decathlon crown, bringing America's 20th gold medal in eight days, carries with it unofficial recognition as "world's greatest athlete” and during the 10 events crammed into two days of muscle-torture Campbell was all of that even though he fell 48 points short of the world record. He led from the start of the first event Thursday. The former Indiana football star, a bitter second to Bob Mathias of Tulare, Calif., in the 1952 games at Helsinki, today broke big Bob’s Olympic ecord by 50 poins with a total of 7,937. And among the 15 international stars he defeated was world recordholder Rafer Johnson of Kingsburg, Calif., a sophomore at UCLA. Johnson won the second place medal with a total of 7,587 points despite an injury suffered Thursday. Injures Stomach Jumping 1 Johnson was hampered by a i pulled stomach musqle received • during Thursday’s broad jump and as they rested between events today Campbell did his best to i cheer up his dejected buddy. Johnt son carried on to whip Russia’s , Vassili Kouznetsov, Who finished I third with 7,465 points. Ouno Palou of Russia was fourth ' in the final placings with Martin Lauer of Germany fifth and Walter Meier of Germany sixth. The decathlon points brought the U.S. total to 347 in the unofficial team standings with Russia second at 269% hnd Germany third with 120%. ' In other sports, Bill Yorzyk of Northampton, Mass., set a record of 2:18.6 to lead qualifiers in the 200 meters butterfly stroke which is new on this year’s Olympic program, but American teams were beaten in water polo and field hockey, and canoeist Frank 6am Havens of Vienna, Va., was de- , throned as 10,000-meter kayak champion when he finished eighth in the final. Russia Cuts U.S. Lead Despite the 1-2 AmerlcSrh finish in the decathlon, Russia cut into the U.S. lead in the unofficial team race with a 1-2 finish in the women’s shot put wan by Tamara Tychkevitch with a record heave of 54 feet, five inches, and a total of 18 points in canoeing. Betty Cuthbert of Australia, victor earlier in the 100 meters, became the first double medal winnet in women’s track by romping L off with the 200-meter dash in 23.4, tying the Olympic record set in 1952 by a countrywoman, Marjorie Jackson. But aside from that, the vast crowd in the Melbourne Cricket Grounds reserved its cheers for Campbell. As the decathlon entrants lined up for the start of the final 1500meter event, some, in actual pain from injuries and all of them dogtired. the field announcer informed the spectators that Camp- , bell was about to smash the Olym- , pic record and had a chance to top Johnson’s world mark. A Dramatic Finish There was little left in Milt’s ; rubbery legs, and with a run of i nearly a mile staring him in the , face, he got off the mark uncertainly. He was far back until the final lap but with the crowd cheering him on and lan Bruce of Australia racing along side him, trying to draw him out for more speed, Campbell turned on all the speed he could in an all-out blast down the last 200 yards. Milt pounded home in 4:50.6. A better effort might have won him a world record, but even this was plenty to erase the disappointment of his defeat as an 18-year old schoolboy in the last Olympics—and erase the record of Mathias, the man who beat him then, Campbell actually, had only one bad event. He had bad luck in the pole vault, clearing only 11 feet. 1% inches. It so infuriated him, he flopped on his blanket and hit his head against the ground several times. Off To Good Start On the first decathlon day. Campbell ran the 100-meter dash in 10.8; broad jumped 24 feet, %-inch; tossed the shot 48 feet, five inches; high jumped six feet, 2% inches, and ran the 400-meters

in 48.8 seconds.
