RCA VICTOR^ £&$ the most trusted name in sound Clay, Liston Meet In Title Match DENVER (A 1 )—Sonny Liston, the solemn champion, and Cassius Clay, the gabby challenger, scrib bled their names Tuesday on a contract for a multimillion-dollar heavyweight title fight in mid- February, probably in Los An geles. FORMER heavyweight cham pion Joe Louis put in a bid at the contract signing from Los Ange les interests, guaranteeing $1 mil lion for the fight. Jack Nilon, Liston’s advisor, said that was the biggest firm of fer that has been received to stage the fight. Nilon said other cities that have submitted bids are Min neapolis, Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas. LOUIS SAID he was putting in the proposal for United World En terprises, Inc. Also present was George Parnassus of the Olympic Boxing Club of Los Angeles. The contract signing had its theatrical moments as Clay tried to hog the scene with noisy spout ings from his phonograph record ing and other quotations from his nightclub repertoire. LISTON, sitting calmly and at times looking puzzled at the noisy challenger, summed up his feelings with the declaration: “I hope you look the same when I get done with you.” Officials for Intercontinental Promotions, Inc. — Liston’s group —said they expected the bout to gross between $6 million and $8 million, a record for any bout. LISTON’S fight last year in Chicago in which he took the crown from Floyd Patterson grossed about $5.5 million, Ben Bentley, publicity director for In tercontinental, said. Clay will get 22.5 per cent of the gross, compared with the 12.5 per cent Liston got in his first fight with Patterson. Liston, an officer in Intercontinental, will get 40 per cent.

Tommy Ford, Texas’ hard-run ning tailback, rushed for 113 yards against Southern Methodist last week to finally create a slice of broad daylight in the ball-carrying race. FORD NOW has roamed for 478 yards on 98 attempts and is 98 yards to the good on runnerup Paul Piper of Rice. Don Trull, Baylor’s busy quar terback, and his favorite passing target, Larry Elkins, already had long leads but they made it even more pronounced with what they did against Texas Christian. TRULL LEADS the passers with 106 completions in 185 at tempts for 1,408 yards and the next man, Danny Thomas of Southern Methodist, has only 49 connections for 672 yards. Trull appears on the way to smashing his own Southwest Con ference record of 125 completions for 1,627 yards. THE BAYLOR star also has 1,- 491 yards total offense, which is well ahead of his 1962 pace when he set the record of 1,763 yards. Elkins caught 10 passes in all against Texas Christian and has 44 for the season. He is only four receptions behind the all-time con ference record of 48 set by Jim Benton of Arkansas in 1937. Jim Ingram of Baylor is second in pass-receiving with 20 snares. Thomas leads the punters with an average of 45.4, Ken Hatfield of Arkansas tops the punt return ers with 244 yards on 16 runs and Donny Anderson of Texas Tech leads the kickoff returners with 267 yards on 10 runs.

Austin Sets Passing Mark; Defense Accounts For Loss SPORTS said George, and No. 2 in sorriest de- Around Austin College the ques tion is—what does it take to win ? The school set five National As sociation of Intercollegiate Ath letics records last Saturday. But it lost to East Central Okla homa 54-37. AFTER THE GAME, Coaches Elvin George of East Central and Floyd Gass of Austin met in the middle of the field. “Our two teams,” “ought to rate No. 1 the nation for the fenses.” The man basically responsible for the five records is 6-foot-l, 175-pound Jerry Bishop of Olney, Tex., a sophomore. HE THREW FOR 495 yards and had 475 yards in total offense— he got smothered at times—for two records. Dick Hill set two other records with 17 catches for 266 yards. The fifth NAIA record shattered was for team passing, 502 yards. Jerry Johnston relieved Bishop long enough to throw a seven-yard pass. “IT IS VERY difficult to be lieve you can make that many yards and lose a game,” said Gass. “One odd thing about it was we had two touchdowns called back. “We lost one on an offsides pe nalty and another when we picked a fumble out of the air and ran it for a touchdown. But the official lost sight of the ball and blew his whistle. AUSTIN COLLEGE, 65 miles north of Dallas, gives no football scholarships and is constantly out- manned. Gass said, “I feel like in our situation we have to throw the ball. We can’t overpower any body. We can’t play hall control.” He uses a pro-style offense with a flanker back and split ends. BISHOP HIT 29 OF 45 pass at tempts- in setting his passing rec ord, breaking the mark of 455 yards set by George Bork of Northern Illinois two weeks ago. Northern Illinois also held the old team passing record of 492. Bishop erased the old total of fense mark of 465 set a week ago by Jimmy Kearney of Prairie View, Tex., A-M. The 266 yards receiving record ed by Hill battered the previous high of 241 by Jerry Richards® of Wofford in 1956. The old rec ord for passes caught in one game was 13, held by three players. Austin College rushed for II yards for an offensive total «1 576. “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service •“We Service All Foreign Cars" 1422 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517; / "■■■■■■■■■■■ ■ ■ ■ ■■■■■■■■■■■■!
