McKinney Ace
Top In Scoring

——.1. . i i. . ■ .....................—.I, — .........
McKinney’s Roy Don Mc-
D e a r m o n won the head-on
meeting with Gainesville’s Phil
Adams Tuesday night 28-22
and took over the leadership
in'the individual point race in
District; 6-AAA.
McDearmon now has a 24.8
scoring average for five dis-
trict games. Adams is in sec-
ond place with 24.5 for four
games.
Greenville’s Max Mainord is
a distant third at 15.2.
Sulphur Springs, with five
players averaging nine points
or better in district play, must
now face the top two district
pointsmiths in the next five
days.
Adams Hits First
Tonight Adams leads his
Gainesville teammates on the
boards at Wildcat gym and Mc-
Dearmon and his McK iniiey
maters follow on Tuesday night.
McD e a r m o n has received
more scoring help this season,
though, and McKinney current-
ly rests in second place in the
district with a 4-1 record. Sul-
phur Springs can tie the idle
Lions with a victory tonight.
When McKinney and Gaines-
ville played Tuesday McDear-
mon1 scored more points than
Adams, but his efforts result-
ed in a smaller percentage of
his team’s points as McKinney
won 78-50.
Others Balanced
While McKinney and Gaines-,
ville basically have relied upon
one big scorer in district play
this year, the other five loop
teams can offer examples of
unusual scoring balance.
In addition to the balanced
Sulphur Springs c r e w, Paris
and Bonham in particular have
offered five players with near
equal scoring ability. Bonham’s
Lobby Burk has only recently
spurted to the leadership for
his team.

Sulphur Springs and Green-

in offense and defense as the
district nears the midway point.
The Wildcats have averaged
61 points a game in four dis-

an average of 41 points a game.
McKinney, the third team
still in good shape for a run

Fisher Gives Longhorns
New Strength on Boards
Austin, Jan. 16 — Texas’
most consistent basketball play-
er this season is a 6-7, blond
mathematics major from Beau-
mont.
Joe Fisher, a defensive stal-
wart last year when the Long-
horns rolled to the Southwest
and NCAA district champion-
ships, has found the offensive
range this season and has been
a steady performer through the
first dozen games.
This amateur radio operator,
who wants to teach math and
physics after completing his
schooling, has improved yearly
since arriving on the University
campus from Beaumont’s South
Park High School.

This year he’s still doing a
good defensive job, but he's
scoring more, too. He’s the
team leader in scoring, re-

which time Texas produced a
7-5 won-lost record and 1-2

Joe has scored 157 points for

Bradley’s wide-open style of

Joe is extremely fast for

Although it was a losing

best games against the Texas
Aggies last week. He pounced
on nine loose halls, grabbed 12
rebounds and scored 11 points.
As Texas entered the semes-

SOL SILVERMAN, CHAIRMAN of the California Commit-
tee on Safeguards for Professional Boxing, calls the upcoming
Sonny Liston-Cassius Clay fight a dangerous mismatch.
So what? So were the two Liston-Latterson travesties.
Liston had the right idea while being forced into the return
with Patterson.
“I’ll box him in a gymnasium ami nobody will get hurt,”
said the St. Louis bullyboy. He meant that the customers
wouldn’t have to .suffer.
Clay knew where he wanted to go from the outset and
scarcely can be criticized for taking the shortest cut. Not us
long as the various commissions let him get away with it.
Matchmaker Teddy Brenner wanted a second edition after
Clay took a highly debatable and split decision from plodding
Doug Jones at Madison Square Garden last March.
* * *
“YOU THINK I’M silly?" Clay told Harry Murkeon, di-
rector of Garden boxing, anil Brenner. “I’ve got $7 million
waiting for me. You think I’m going to run the risk of having
some bum knock me on my ear?”
Henry Cooper had Clay on the deck and in no condition
to continue when the bell ended the fourth round in London,
but to his credit CassiiA bounced back to flatten the English
canvasback.
Clay promised Bill King, the promoter in liis home town,
Louisville, that he would box the winner; of the more recent
George Chuvnlo-Mike De.Iohn engagement. Chuvalo appeared
rough and tough, cuffing DeJohn around and about, so Cas-
sius bowed out with: “I don’t want to fight such a dirty fighter.”
When it was pointed out to Clay that he might have final-
ly talked himself into serious trouble in the IJston match,
Cassius, the part-time poet, was consistent in his reply: “Who
wouldn’t talk himself into serious trouble for that kind of
money?”
Regardless of how anybody feels about the one-sidedness
of a Liston-Clay match, it. will gross several million dollars
live and with theater television. The idea is to get the money
before Clay talks himself out of it.
* * *
PUGILISTIC PURISTS WHO contend that Clay should fur-
ther qualify and mature before tackling Liston don’t seem to
realize that challengers for the heavyweight championship
don’t have to do that any more. Until Patterson was goaded
into the Liston massacres, round heels were a prime re-
quisite of a challenger.
it long since has been established that the public will buy
anything in a heavyweight championship package and Cassius
Clay, the tireless showman, made himself a magnetic attrac-
tion.
The talkathon paid off.
By HARRY GRAYSON
Los Angeles—(NEA) —
Transfer of the NFL champion-
ship game to a balmier clime
was a hot topic among profes-
sional football men assembled
for the 1 e a g u e's Pro-Bowl
game.
It was stimulated, of course,
when 54,921 sun-lovers didn’t
mind getting snarled in a two-
h 0 u r Florida traffic jam to
watch a meaningless exhibition
in Miami’s Orange Bowl be-
tween Green Bay and Cleve-
land.
But always, pro football of-
ficials point out, you’re going
to take the rik of offending the
loyal citizens who s u p port
their teams throughout the sea-
son. So who wants to duprive
50,000 or more medical volun-
teers of their annual exposure
tests to the pneumococci virus
in zero weather?
Not Sam Huff.
Sam, however, espouses an
idea that could both satisfy the
loyal and still provide a satis-
fying tost of artistic caliber
in good playing conditions.
"You watch," pointed out
the hot-blooded linebacker of
the New York Giants, “they got
to m a k e the championship
game like a World Series, the
best two games out of three.”
It’s Sam’s contention that
one game, as p I a y e d now,,
doesn’t prove anything, inspir-
ed no doubt by the fact the
Giants were whipped by the
Hears recently for the NFL
title, t li e ir third consecutive
playoff failure.
“During the regular season,”
Sam argued, "we lost to Pitts-
burgh and beat them the sec-
ond time around. Same with
Cleveland. The four top teams
in our Eastern Division all
split against each other. You
got to have that second shot
at ’em.
“The only times we’ve lost
the division title since 1956,
we were beaten twice by Cleve-
land in ’57 nnd twice by Phil-
delphia in ’60.”
The big plus for a two-out-
lof-three set iH that the fans
! in both cities can sec their di-
1 vision champs in the first two
; games. Then, if a third is neces-
I sary, it can be played in a neu-
i trul site away from the frigid
j zone, like Miami, under nor-
mally ideal conditions,
j Extension of the season into
January is u small factor. Pro
football is already played in
J weather varying from 10 to 90
| degrees. There’s no strict law
that it hus to be limited by fall-
ing leaves time.
Interest in the sport indi-
cates it coul d be played on
opening day of baseball season
and sell out the joint. Some
pro owners worry about over-
e x p o h u r e, but the Packer-
Brown “nothing” game defies
it.
It might be tougher on the
players, who already groan
about a 14-game season. But
the injury risk is an occupa-
tional hazard and Tittle could
have been hurt just as easily
in Ithaca where the Giants play-
ed the Bears last August, is in
Chicago, when his left knee
