Suspension Threat Won't
Effect World Title Bout
SPORTS
Murray-Go-Round
By TOM MURRAY
SAN RANCISCO (A — A sus-
pension threat against bantam-
pweight Eder Jofre of Brazil by a
British boxing promoter apparent-
ly will have no effect on the
world title defense here Mar eh 20.
Jofre will meet Mexican - born
Herman Marquez of Stockton,
Calif., in a 15-round bout at the
Cow Palace.
Jack Solomons of London said
Tuesday he will ask the regulat-
ing boxing bodies of the world to
suspend Jofre if the Brazilian
doesn’t first go through with a
return fight against Ireland’s
Johnny Caldwell.
Solomons said he sent a cable-
gram to Abraham Katzenelson,
Jofre’s manager, threatening to
seek suspensions and a $100,000
judgment.
Katzenelson arrived in San

Francisco Tuesday night and said
Jofre would fight Caldwell but not
until after fulfilling contract com-
mitments for the Marquez bout.
Co-promoter George Parnassus
said he had a prior agreement
with the Brazilian manager for
the bout here.
“When Jofre beat Eloy Sanfhez
of Mexico in Los Angeles for the
vacated title about 16 months
ago, he and Katzenelson agreed
to make their first defense for
me,” Parnassus said.
Jofre was then recognized by
the National Boxing Association
as the champion but Caldwell was
champion in Europe.
“When they had the chance to
fight in Brazil for the undisputed
title I said “go ahead,” Parnas-
sus explained. “But after that I
wanted them to honor their con-
tract with me and they wanted
to do it.”
The undefeated Pofre1 stopped
Caldwell in the 10th round of
!be:r fight-off for the world title
i Sao Paulo. Solomons claimed
he ha3 an agreement for a return
fight, presumably in London.
“I think my cables will stop the
Marquez fight,” the British pro-
motor declared. “If Jofre loses
his crown against Marquez, how
can he defend it against Cald
well as we agreed?”

Cecil (Tex) Hughson is an en-
terprising San Marcos meat pack
er.
Twenty springs past the ta’
Texan with whip-lash arm, wa:
th eace pitcher of the Boston Rec
Sox, a talented team with a bir
sock named Ted Williams.
Williams became the mosl
controversial figure in baseball
a man who could intimidate th<
be'st pitching arm designed by
God but could not hit it off with
his own mother.
Hughson, trite as it sounds, still
looks the part of the big league
firebalter and his mind remain'
sharp on the volatile Williams,
too.
“Nobody is ever lukewarm on
Williams,” says the San Marcos
civic leader. “They either hate or
love him.” Well, is he pleasant or
repu’sive?
“I’m here to tell you he’s both,’
is Hughson’s reply. “That’s Ted
Williams. He can be the greates
fellow you ever knew and then
spit in your eye.”
An awe-inspiring thing is the
near-worshipful respect Tex Hugh
son has for Ted Williams, the
Hitter.
Williams,” he says, levelling
those cold eyes, “was the great-
est hitter baseball ever had.
“Now, I did not say he was
the best all-around player or
team-man. But with that bat in
his hand', he was Superman, a
real hitting-machine.
The pitcher has not been born
who could throw a fast ball past
him.”
WHAT MUST a fellow possess
to be better hitter than Shoeless
Joe Jackson, Babe Ruth, Stan
Musial, Rogers Hornsby, Mickey
Mantle and the whole side world?
“First of all,” recalls Hughson
the one-time University of Texas
star under Uncle Billy Disch,
“Williams had the best eyes in
baseball history. He could count
the stitches on the ball as it
came to the plate at 90 mph.
“Then, he had an elephant’s
memory. Once Ted faced a pitch-
er he knew him like a first grade
reader. He knew what that man
would throw him in any situa-
tion.
“The poor pitcher couldn’t
change his style and fool him.

wonderful reflexes he had. He

“He was the most intense per-

AFL Chief
Testifies in
Football Suit
BALTIMORE OPl— Lamar Hunt,
chairman of the American Foot-
jail League, says Texas finan-
cier Clint Murchison once offered
aim a substantial amount of
;tock in the Dallas Cowboys if
Bunt would drop plans to organ-
ize the AFL.
Hunt, himself a Texas million-
aire, testified in U.S. District
Court Tuesday that Murchison—
owner of the Cowboys of the Na-
tional Football League—told him
having two teams in Dallas “was
a ridiculous situation and we both
would lose a lot of money.”
Murchison also said, “I do not
believe the AFL will succeed’,”
Hunt related.
Hunt logged eight hours of testi-
mony in the first two days of the
trial of the AFL’s $10-million an-
ti-trust suit against the older
NFL, and was to resume his tes-
timony today.
The trial is expected to last
about three months. Chief District
Judge Roszel C. Thomsen is hear-
ing the case without a jury.
The AFL is seeking $10,080,000
in damages from the NFL, claim-
ing the older league tried to
monopolize professional football
by announcing expansion plans
after the AFL had received seven
franchise commitments.
Hunt named a long lost of NFL
owners who he said concurred in
the belief the AFL was doomed
to failure. He testified that at
least one of the NFL owners,
Carroll Rosenbloom of the Balti-
more Colts, said' he “would do
everything he could to fight the
AFL.”
Hunt testified that he made ef-
forts to promote understanding of
his new league among the NFL
owners, with proposals that in-
cluded common player draft and
joint .television blackouts. The pro-
posals, he said, were turned down.
Hunt said he was injured and
greatly hindered1 in plans to bring
professional football to Dallas by
an NFL announcement that the
senior circuit would move to
Houston and Dallas in 1960 .

Texas Tech sailed past Texas
A&M 69-49 and Southern Method-
ist cracked a mild Baylor jinx
69-52 Tuesday night, making a tie
for the Southwest Conference bas-
ketball championship seem more
likely than ever.
Each now boasts a 10-3 record
with one game left and everybody
else out of the race. Texas Tech
will close out next Tuesday
against Rice at Houston while
SMU finishes up against Arkan-
sas at Dallas.
Tech appears to have the tough-
er task. Beating Rice in Houston
has become a virtual impossibility
despite what the Owls do on the
road.
If there is a tie for the title.
Tech and Southern Methodist will
meet in a one-game playoff, prob-
ably at Fort Worth Friday of next
week, to determine who repre-
sents the conference in the NCAA
playoffs. The first round foe will
be Air Force Academy. It will
play the Southwest Conference ti-
tlist March: 12 at Dallas.
Texas Tech’s victory knocked
Texas A&M out of the conference
race. The Aggies now are two
full games behind the leaders with
jus tone left to play.
Rice missed a chance to tie
A&M for third place as it took a
75-73 licking from lowly Texas
Christian at Fort Worth.
Texas beat Arkansas 61-60 in
another game Tuesday night. It

tin and, look for prospects.
Next Tuesday there will be a
full conference slate and March 8
Texas and’ TCU play a makeup
game at Fort Worth to close out
the regular season.
Harold Hudgens poured in 24
points and nabbed 13 rebounds in
leading Texas Tech to its vital
victory over Texas A&M before
10,250 fans. The Aggies trailed
most of the way but threatened
midway of the second half by
drawing within four points. Hudg-
ens. Roger Henig and Del Ray
Mounts shot successive baskets to
put a damper on the A&M rally.
SMU had little trouble with
Baylor, leading the Bears all the
way and once holding an 18-point
bulge. Mighty Jan Loud'ermilk
flipped in 26 points for the Meth-
scorinig lead to 48 points over Jer-
ry Carlton of Arkansas.
The score was tied 12 times as
Texas Christian finally edged Rice
with David Warned the hero. His
four consecutive free throws broke
a 67-67 tie and the Frogs held on
to win. Phil Reynolds of TCU led
the scoring with 22 points.
Butch Sheets furnished the nec-
essary cushion with the final 11
points for Texas as the Longhorns
beat the Razcrbacks. Arkansas
bad a chance to win as it held
the ball until time was almost out
before taking a shot, but Tommy
Boyer’s layup attempt failed. Boy-

405-hp thunderbird V-8—Thirty years of Ford
experience culminate in this startling V-8. Avail-
able in every Galaxie, it puts 405 horses under
the throttle, a dazzling level of acceleration that
cannot be imagined but must be felt. A super-
performance option, it comes only with the four-
speed gear box. But, unlike some “special”
engines that require delicate tuning and modifi-
cation, it puts out its potential right off the show-
room floor. Even more impressive, Ford skill has
made it a docile tiger; it idles smoothly, it is
durable, its super capacity does not come at the

NEW FAIRLANE CHALLENGER “260” V-8—When
the 221-cubic-inch Fairlane V-8 appeared last
fall, automotive writers hailed it as a great basic
advance, a compact jewel of design. Now, the
“260” V-8 proves their prediction. With 164 lip,
19 more than the standard version, Fairlane gains
a new brilliance of performance—hut it still runs
on “regular,” still outsaves any standard-size Six.
It has the durability of time-tested cast iron,
slimmed and lightened by Ford’s precision-
casting technique. Created by the one maker who
has built 30,000,000 V-8’s since 1932, it brings
the sparkle and smoothness of V-8 power well
within the thrifty budget’s reach, puts truly
'sophisticated engineering at the service of truly
economical motoring. products of
