Basilio-Saxton Slate
Third Crown Battle
New York, Feb. 18MR—The' 3rd tonight at St. Nicholas Arena in
chapter in the Carmen Basilio-
Johnhy Saxton, welterweight title
series takes place this Friday night
at the Cleveland arena. The two
meft stand even in the set so far.
Saxton took the championship
from Basilic last March in Chicago
on a 15-round decision. Basilio
regained the crown by a 9th round
knockout last September in Syra-
cuse, N.Y. Neither man has fought
since.
The upcoming bout originally
was scheduled for 5 weeks ago,
-but a hand injury incurred by
Basilio in the Syracuse fight forc-
ed a postponement. The champ
says the right hand is still tender
but is confident he can whip Sax-
ton again.
Saxton won the first bout by
using his speed to move in and
out and staying away from Bas-
ilio’s power. Johnny chose to mix
with Carmen in the return and the
change of tactics proved his down-
fall.
Basilio is a 29-year-old ex.-Ma-
rine from Chiteenango, N. Y. Sax-
ton is 26 and fromTSfew York City.
Their rubber match will be car-
ried on nationwide radio and tele-
vision with the Cleveland area
blacked out of TV.

★ GRAYSON'S SCOREBOARD ★
Rocky Rode to Title on
Miscalculation by Walcott
By NAT FLESHER
Written for NEA Service
New York—(NEA)—If Jersey
Joe W al c o 11 hadn’t been up
against^the ropes, he might have
carried on to win the vote of the
three officials. A miscalculation
of a trick he had often used to
good advantage cost him the fight.
With his back against the ropes,
he shifted his body in an effort
to baffle his opponent. That move-
ment brought him in direct line to
tho short right hand that Rocky
MarOiarto threw. It was a punch
that will live long in the memories
of myself and others fortunate
enough to see it.
Marciano, the only fighter of
the past three decades with a one-
punch knockout formula, ended a,
j tough, brawling battle in 43 sec-
onds of the 13th round at Phila-
delphia’s Muncipal Stadium with
his short and powerful right.
- This was Sept. 23, 1952, and at
the end of the 12th round, Mar-
ciano was, behind on all score
cards. The 13th round was still
young when W a 1 c 6 11 twisted,
Ricky threw—and the champion
was sprawled grotesquely against
the ropes, an inert mass.
• But before that,'he had put
one
career. In fact, a remarkable one.
He made the fight a throwback to
the days of Jeffries, Johnson and
Dempsey.
In the first minute of the bout,
he nailed Marciano with a left
hook and put him on the floor for

the 12th, a right to the midsection
almost bent Marciano in half.
When they raised Marciano’s
arm, he had a deep g&sh on Jhe
bridge of his nose that required
four stittches, and a scalp wound
that covered his face with blood.
Walcott had electrified the
crowd by never flinehlng during
slugging exchanges with his op-
ponent. At times when age tired
him, Jersey Joe would use a
shuffling, backward style to ad-
vantage. But when stung by a
hard punch, he would sail right
into a give-and-take flurry.
But at the end, Referee Char-
ley Daggert was counting over a
Walcott who never twitched as he
lay crumpled. Spectators watched
in awe—and fear that Walcott
had been fatally injured.
In winning the championship,
Marciano proved himself every
inch a fighting champion. Awk-
ward, crude, missing punches like
a novice, lacking the finesse of
his opponent, Rocky still came
forward.
Round after round, he foTced
the fight. H»s objective was the

Little Chet Forte
Proves Ability
With Big Boys
By FRANK ECK
AP New. feature! Sport* Editor
If basketball is a big man’s
game somebody forgot to tell
little Chet. Forte.
As today’s college basketball
players go, the Hackensack, N.J.,
are-medical senior is a midget
ax 5 - feet - 9. However, he has
smashed every three-year scor-
ing, season and game records
on the books at Columbia Univer-
sity.
Forte is pronounced the same
as the number 40 he wears on his
uniform.
When he scored 36 points in a
losing Ivy League game against
Yale he replaced the 7-foot Wilt
the Stilt Chamberlain as the
nation’s leading scorer among
major college players.
When you consider that the 21-
year-old Forte weighs oiily 145
pounds dripping wet, his scoring
feats really are phenomenal. In
three games one week he tallied
108 points, an average of 36
per game.
He is the fifth in Columbia
history to top 1,000 points, and
Walter Budko made his 1,163
points'in four seasons. The oth-
ers are Jack Molinas. 1,046
points; John Azary, 1,015, and
Norman Skinner, 1,015.
He set a record at Rutgers with
44 points, at Princeton with 34
and sank 38 foul shots in a row
for a national record. For his
first 15 games this season he
averaged 30.1 points per game.
“Forte is the most exciting
shooter in college basketball,’.’
says Lou Rossini who is in his
seventh season as Lion coach.-
