Band Day: GridironSpectacle


CHICAGO (M--Sonny Liston, an
immense hulk of a man with an
unsavory past, became the new
heavyweight boxing champion cf
the world last night by knocking
out Floyd Patterson with a stun-
ning left hook to the jaw in 2:06
of the first round.
The flash ending came as a
surprise to the stunned crowd at
Comiskey Park because it was the
first real solid punch of the fight;
Fastest Since '53
Not since Rocky Marciano stop-
ped Jersey Joe Walcott in the first
round in a Chicago defense in 1953
had a heavyweight title fight end-
ed with a first-round knockout.
This waA the third fastest of
the first-round KO's ever scored
in this division's title history and
only two seconds more than Joe
Louis required to destroy Max
Schmeling in their historic re-
match in 1938.
The fastest knockout in heavy-
weight title history was the 1:28
by Tommy Burns over Jem Roche
In Dublin, March 17, 1908.
Liston, carrying a weight ad-
vantage of 25 lbs., had dominated
the early moments of the bout
before he pulled the trigger on
the left hook.
Patterson ran into the flash left

Defeated
LONDON (') - Britain's Terry
Downes, former holder of part of
the world middleweight title, out-
pointed Sugar Ray Robinson of
New York in a ten-rounder at
London's indoor Wembley Stad-
ium last night.
Downes, 26, bustled Robinson
from the start and the veteran
American, five-times middleweight
champion of the world, had no
real answer to the tough Briton.
Robinson, 42, weighed in at
159 pounds and Downes at 161.

hook of his hungry, menancing
foe from Philadelphia by way of
Pine Bluff, Ark., and St. Louis.
Down went the 27-year-old de-
fending champ, wearing a look of
complete surprise.
Patterson went down on his side,
turning slowly. He gathered him-
self together bit by bit and started
to pull his way off the deck while
referee Frank Sikora tolled the
count.
Patterson still was trying to gpt
up when referee Sikora signalled
the knockout.
Liston's corner crew jumped
jubilantly into the ring, hugging
the new champ. Liston rushed
over to Patterson's corner, ob-
viously concerned that he might
have hurt Floyd.
Patterson Cries
When it finally dawned on the
dazed Patterson that he hadnbeen
knocked out and had lost his title
for the second time, tears welled
to his eyes. He had wanted so
much to dispose of the No. 1 chal-
lenger to dispel criticism that he
was a cheese champ.
The crowd of 30,000 paid up to
$100 for ringside seats for this
quickie. Hundred of thousands
more watched in theaters and
arenas across the nation to the
closed circuit telecast of the short
bout. The live gross gate was
about $600,000.
Youngest Holder
Thus Patterson, the youngest to
win the title when he beat Archie
Moore in 1956 at the tender age
of 21, and the first ever to win
it back when he knocked out In-
gemar Johansson in 1960, also
became the first to lose it twice.
Under the terms of a contract
between the two fighters, Patter-
son can dictate the date, place
and promoter of the return match
which is to be held before Sept.
30, 1963. Liston gets 30 per cent.
for the rematch according to that
agreement.
It was man against boy with
the 214-lb. Liston with his awe-
some 84-inch reach, and his 14-

inch fists, quickly cracking the
shell of the overmatched 189-lb.
Patterson.
Liston who said he would end
the fight quickly if it was a cold
night-and it was a chilly eve-
ning at the Chicago White Sox
ball park-now has won 27
straight in 71/2 years. His only loss
in a 34-1 career was to Marty
Marshall in eight rounds in De-
troit, Sept. 7, 1954; his eighth pro
fight. He never has been floored
in 35 starts and has knocked out
24 opponents.
This, of course, was Patterson's
second knockout defeat. It was a
real shocker in 1959 when Johans-
son, a 5-1 underdog, dropped him
seven times and won the title in
three rounds.

NEWPORT, R.I. (M)--Weatherly,
a cast-off four years ago, sailed
Gretel, the gallant challenger from
Australia, into the sea yesterday
and successfully defended the
United States' 111-year hold on the
America's Cup.
Flawlessly skippered by Emil
(Bus) Mosbacher Jr., the graceful
refurbished 12-meter sloop led
around every mark and clinched a
4-1 victory in this world series
of yachting by the decisive mar-
gin of 3 minutes, and 40 seconds,
over the 24-mile upwind-down-
wind course.
This meant that the bottomless
old silver cup first won by the

Yanks Wain Pennant

NEW YORK (P)-The New York
Yankees clinched their 27th Ame-
rican League pennant last night
with an 8-3 victory over the
Washington Senators.
Star left-hander Whitey Ford
pitched the Yankees to the key
triumph and another long-time
bomber standout, Mickey Mantle,
sparked the 16-hit attack with
four singles.
The Yankees, who began their
domination of t h e American
League with their first pennant
in 1921, now have won the title
threetimnes in a row and 12 times
in the last 14 years. Their last
two flags have come under Man-
ager Ralph Houk.
New York was an overwhelming
favorite to take the pennant this
year but had to battle into the
final week of the season before
they could clinch. Injuries to
Mantle, Ford and 1961's relief
pitching ace, Luis Arroyo, along
with prolonged slumps by others
nullified any chances the Yanks
might have had for a romp to the
league lead on July 8 and never
championship.
However, they took over the
were headed. Two surprise con-
tenders, the Minnesota Twins and
the Los Angeles Angels, provided

the stiffest challenges. The Angels
finally were eliminated last week
and the Twins last night.
Starting next Wednesday the
Yankees will go after their 20th
World Series Championship
against either the National Lea-
gue's Los Angeles Dodgers or San
Francisco Giants.
Ford, winning his 17th against
eight losses, gave up 12 hits but
limited the Senators to single runs
in the second, seventh and ninth
innings.
Mantle, who has 4-for-4 with a
walk, boosted his batting average
to .320 and is now a distinct threat
to Boston's Pete Runnels for the
batting crown. Runnels' average
is .328.
A single by Bobby Richardson,
a passed ball and Mantle's first
hit produced a Yankee run off
loser Bennie Daniels in the first
and they went ahead to stay in
the second when Dale Long
singled, stole second and came in
on a single by Tony Kubek.
Singles by Mantle, Roger Maris
and Long added up to another
run In the third and the Yanks
scored twice more in the fifth on

Bill Skowron, plus a passed ball

Hugged Each Other
After finishing their cup defense,
Weatherly's crew hugged each oth-
er in the cockpit, jumping for joy,
and uncorked bottles of cham-
pagne to toast the 19th U.S. vic-
tory.
The fifth race was anti-climac-
tic, with Weatherly dominating all
the way.
The U.S. sloop drove into the
wind as if powered by underwater
jets, refusing to give distance to
Gretel on the two six-mile spin-
naker runs downwind. Alexander
(Jock) Sturrock, Gretel's skipper
used a bright but unsuccessful ar-
ray of bosomy sails.
Two-Tone Spinnaker
The Aussies started withra two-
tone blue spinnaker like Weather-
ly's shifted to a red, white and
blue kite, and on the final run
home resorted desperately to a red
and white sail resembling a bar-
ber pole. But the victory-bent
Yanks, weary and restless from a
summer of hard campaigning, were
not to be caught.
Sturrock had a slight edge in the
start, going over the line a half
length in front and in a safe lee-
ward position favored by Mos-
bacher. But Mosbacher outfoxed
him at every. other point of sail-
ing.
An example came within the
first 17 minutes of the race, when
Sturrock tried to drive beneath
Weatherly and into a position to
force her into a zig-zag tacking
duel. Mosbacher countered the,
move, sent Weatherly out in front,
and stayed there.

By BOB ZWINCK
Saturday is not only the season
opener for the Wolverines, it is
also the 14th annual Band Day.
For approximately an hour and
a half before the kickoff, 194 high
school bands from all over Mich-
igan wil march into the Stadium.
Following them will be the Michi-
gan Marching Band.
13,000 Musicians
The spectacle becomes apparent
at half-time. As the Cornhuskers
and Wolverines leave the field,
some 13,000 musicians sween onto
the gridiron-in only one and a
half minutes. Colors from seven
different rainbows completely hide
the green of the grass.
The uniforms both clash with
and complement one another. No
matter - the instruments ax e
gleaming, the tubas sparkle and
reflect the sun, the drums boom,
the cymbols clang loudly, and the
sound fills 101,001 seats, bringing
a revered hush over even the most
jubilant crowd.
Even a band from Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich. will be here.
Name the
.Platoons
The end is imminent for the
Name the Platoons contest. Be
they Greek, Russian, or Shake-
spearean, titles for our 'M' squads
are urgently solicited.
Be imaginative, be creative, and
you will be rewarded. Two tickets

the gross. May our mailboxes run-

But there is also a football game
every Band Day.
Tradition indicates a Michigan
victory, although the past won't
be good enough for Coach Elliott,
and his charges.
Since 1952 the Maize and Blue
have only absorbed two Band Day
defeats. Some real football powers
are listed among the Michigan
victims, too. Promising sopho-
mores and established stars have
many times shone in the often-
times Band Day openers.
In 1955 All-American Ron
Kramer, sophomore fullback John
Herrnstein, and halfbacks Terry
Barr and Jim Pace led Michigan
to a 42-13 conquest of UCLA.
S e n i o r fullback Herrnstein
sparked a 20-19 squeaker over
Southern Cal in 1958.
Sophomores playing their first
game were responsible for the 1960
win over Oregon, 21-0. Quarter-

back Dave Glinka threw two
touchdown passes and Dave Raim-
ey tallied his first TD.
Last year ninth-ranked UCLA
finally sneaked over a six-pointer
against Wolverine fifth stringers
late in the fourth period. The
entire 62-man Michigan squad
who dressed saw action as the
Blue romped to a 29-6 win.
Practice Notes
Defense against Nebraska-type
plays was emphasized in yester-
day's football practice.
In the long session both passing
and punting drills were also ex-
ecuted.
Coach Bump Elliott has decided
on sophomore Bob Timberlake to
head the defensive platoon at
quarterback, Bob Chandler will
quarterback the second string
offensive unit.

IN OUR MEN'S SPORTSWEAR DEPARTMENT

By GARY WINER
Undefeated, untied, the power-
ful Maize and Blue rolled into
Champaign, Ill., in 1939 only to
be handed a stunning 16-7 upset
by Bob Zuppke's Illini.
The stage was set for the re-
turn match at Ann Arbor the fol-
lowing year before a homecom-
ing crowd of 40,000.
Illinois' win the year before had
been a well-calculated game.
Zuppke had concentrated his de-
fenses on the Wolverines' All-
American left halfback, Tom Har-
mon, who literally had been stop-
ped cold by a heavy Illinois defen-
sive wall.
Zuppke's s t r a t e g y had not
changed in a year. The key to the
Michigan scoring machine was still
Harmon, although quarterback
Captain Forest Evashevski was a
dangerous man also.
Michigan, coached by Fritz Cris-
ler, carried a 3-0 record into the
game, having crushed such for-
midable opponents as California,
Michigan State, and Harvard on
successive weekends.; The Illini
held a 1-1 mark, having lost the
previous week to Southern Califor-
ma.
Razzle-Dazzle
Razzle-dazzle football was the
call of the day and Illinois was
expected to dig deep into its bag
of tricks to upset the favored Wol-
verines once again. Illinois had no
less than six men capable of
throwing a football and 11 receiv-

ers on the other end of the line.
All 17 men had proven their cap-
abilities and a rather weak Michi-
gan pass defense was expected to
be thoroughly tested throughout
the afternoon.
Maybe it was the rain, but more
likely the spirit of the Michigan
gridders, for Illinois never really
got into the ball game as Michigan
rolled over them, 28-0.
Hold Harmon
Although Illinois was successful
in holding Harmon on the ground
statistically, they couldn't cope
with the combined efforts of full-'
back Bob Westfall and the re-
mainder of the backfield.
Michigan scored 21 points in the:
first half by marching 70 yds. and
69 yds. respectively the first two
times they handled the ball.
Harmon was not completely in-
active that year. He broke loose to

score the'first two tallies and pass-
ed to end Ed Frutig for the third
touchdown of the half. A place
kick by Harmon and a third quar-
ter run by Westfall accounted for
the remainder of the total.
Crushing Blow
The game had been a crush-
ing blow to the Illini. They had
only threatened once during the
lopsided contest by reaching the
Wolverine 14 yd. line only to have
the threat ended by a timely pass
interception.
Harmon, although scoring 22
points, had managed only 58 yds.
in 21 carries.
It was a stunning victory for the
Wolverines, who felt they were
headed for an undefeated season.
Minnesota's Gophers h a n d e d
Michigan its only loss in eight
contests two weeks later by eking
out a 7-6 win.
