'V' V ' THE '(dAHOTTWfTf^ DURHAM, H. C. SATURDAY, JUNE M, 1»*3—^AOt VoweiF 'Louisville Lip' Suffers Knockdown Before Defeating British Cliainpion LOIVDON—Cassius Clay, the un- bratcn “Louisvillo Lip”, scorod b double victory Wednesday by ful filling his prediction and by stop ping British Empire champion Henry Cooper in 1:W of the fifth round of a slated ten-round heavyweight battle. Clay thuf gains a shot at the world heavy weight ero’/vn. Referee Tommy Little stopped the fif?ht because blood was gush ing from a cut over Cooper's left eye. In his dressing room after the fight, Clay expressed admiration for Cooper, but heaped a bundle of scorn on British referee Tom my Little. 55,000 at Wembley Stadium saw left hook to the chin tnat dropped him flat on his back just as the hell .sounded. There was no count but Ca.ssius jumped up after about three sec opfls. Clay came out of his corner fast at the opening of the fifth round and threw punches with both hands. But Cooper stood and fousht him and they slugged toe- to-toe in a corner. When they regained the tenter of the ring Cooper’s eye was^giisH- ing blood and the croA'd chanted; "Stop it! Stop it!" It w^8 then that 55-year-old Lit tle, the only ring official—accord ing to British custom—stepped lo and sent Clay to a neutral corn- the 21-year-old from Kentucky er.

DURHAM, N. C. NEW YORK—Sports fans will have an opportunity to see a one of-a-kind football game when ABC- TV telecasts the American Foot ball Coaches' All-America Game June 29 at 10 P.M. EDT. The game, which will be played in Buffalo, N. Y.* will pit two teams made up of players chosen by the experts as the best in the county—the All-Americans. Usual ly only in a fan’s dreams could such a collection of players be assembled on one field at the same time. A June football ganie is a rarity, but there is a special reason for selecting this time for thir D'lti- cular game. Other post-seaion all-star g^mes suffer from one problem: there are a number of them competing for top players at the same time Moreover, many of the payers are involved in college bowl f,'3nies. The answer, ttnr ecfchpg decid ed, voas June, ju.st aUer gradua tion. This avoids interference with other sports and conflicts with ethe» games. The players '#ho are going into the professional ranks are not yet retdy to report to their pro tearms. So it is the best time to put together all of the players that the coaches—and the fans—want to see in the ac tion. The East team will be quarter- backed by Ron Vanderkelen ot Wisconsin, who amazed fans with his Rose Bowl performance of 33i are that the East will rely on it* completions for 401 yards, Glynn aerial game mixed with power Griffing of Mississippi and Daryl Lamonica of Notre Dame. For the West, the signal-callers and pass ers will be Bill Nelson of Southern da-ifornia and Jesse Branch of Arkansas. To carry the ball, the East will rely on Jerry Stovall of Louisiana State, Roger Kochman of Penn State and George Saimes of Michi gan State. The West will couot^r. with Dave Hoppmann of lo'wa State, Eldon Fortie of Brigham Young) Ronnie Goodwin of Baylor, Kermit Alexander 'of UCLA and Bill Munsey of Minnesota. As the experts see it. the East’s runners have the power, the West’s the speed. Th* l:*3st’G pass ers appear to have the o-'^ge. but th« West has a surplus of top- notch linebackers. The prospects running, while the Wert will make use of its fast -unning backs more often, using spread and Tlankci formations. NCC Sports Enjoy Good Teams Season North Carolina Colleee en- rangulnr.
