Floyd, Sonny Set To Fight In Las Vegas CHESTER, Pa.—CP)Jack Nilon, advisor to heavyweight champion Sonny Liston, said Monday he had agreed to a title fight with Floyd Patterson in Las Vegas June 27. Nilon said at his home here that he had agreed to go ahead with the fight at the Nevada site “with reluctance.” He would not explain. He said details on the fight would have to come from Tom Bolan, president of Championship Sports Inc., the promoters. Officials of Championship Sports were reported on their way to Las Vegas to look over Convention Hall as a possible site. The or ganization promoted the Sept. 25 fight last year when Liston de throned Patterson on a one-round knockout. Cinder Coaches Count On Collins to- By MAYNARD ROGERS Battalion Sports Writer Track and John Collins go gether like beer and pretzels. John is so well known in Texas track circles for his high jumping and broad jumping ability that Coaches Charlie Thomas and Ray Putnam call him the most versatile athlete on the Aggie track team. John’s career in athletics began at Liberty High School where he was one of the school’s most out standing athletes, earning nine letters in three sports. In three years as a halfback on the Liberty eleven, John made all district two times on both the offensive and defensive teams and was all-state his senior year. JOHN MADE the all-district team in basketball three times and honorable mention all-state his final year. All of these achievements would seem enough for any man in sports, but they were not for the 6-3, 185 pound sophomore. It was on the cinders that John really stood out. SOPH SPRINTER . . . John Collins gets points in three events. In his sophomore year at Lib erty, John entered the high jump, broad jump, 120 yard high hurdles and 180 yard low hurdles, and took first place in all four events. He went to the regional meet and qualified in all four events for the state meet. Aggie Cowboys Take Second In Sam Houston State Rodeo A&M’s Rodeo Team finished second behind Sam Houston State last weekend in the 13th annual intercollegiate rodeo at Huntsville. Keith Kidwell led the Aggies by winning the championship buckle in steer wrestling competition. He took a first in the second go-round of the event. Wesley Robinson was second in the tie-down calf roping after turn ing in a second-place time in the second go-round. Bobby Robinson had. a fourth place effort in the first go-round of the same event. The Aggies finished one-two in the steer wrestling as Brazos Varisco was second in the first go-round and second in average. Lynn Turner took fourth in the ribbon roping competition and Joe Neff had a fourth place time in the first go-round of the steer wrestling. Sam Houston State’s Leo Ander son scored in four - events in the final performance to take all- around cowboy honors. He had his jar wired after having broken it in Thursday night’s bronc riding. Led by all-around cowgirl Jeanie Joiner, Sam Houston also took first in the girls division of the rodeo. HIS JUNIOR year was just as successful. John went to the dis trict, regional and state meets in the high jump, broad jump, high hurdles, 440 yard dash, and mile relay. Bad luck plagued him his senior year before the district meet when he suffered a strained ligament in his right leg. However, he still entered the high jump and did very well by qualifying for the state meet. John plans to go in the football and track coaching and teaching business when he graduates. “I HAD RATHER coach football and track because that is where most of my interests lie,” Collins said. Since coming to A&M, Collins has already started on an out standing career. Last year at the conference meet, he won the fresh man high jump with a mark of 6-6. He also placed fourth in the low hurdles with a 14.8. This year the easy going* sopho more has high jumped 6-6% and has broad jumped 23-3% to be counted on as a strong contender in both events as the conference champion.
