TITLE. FAME GONE, PATTERSON
NOW WANTS MACHEN, TOLLEY
CHICAGO (ANP) Five years
ago, Eddie Machen, the leading
challenger, almost got on his knees
and begged the then world heavy

for a crack at hi* title.
Eddie eeuld have saved Us

with the obliging dusky Ameri
can.
Today, the situation has reversed.
The Shoe is on the other foot, and
it is hurting Floyd. Machen, who
almost went nuts while waiting fu
tilely for a title bout with Floyd
is currently in the midst of an im
pressive comeback campaign. Pat

mob, is hardly ever mentioned these
days. He fell from grace after Son

out even working up a sweat.
get the next crack at Liston's title
—after Sonny disposes of the talka
tive Cassius Clay. After all, Eddie
is the only fist fighter to go 12
rounds with the awesome Liston,
even if he did it by backtracking.
And Machen has since turned “kill
ed". flattening his last three ring
foes In short. Machen is again rid
ing a crest of popularity. Patter
son's star has descended deeply.
The humiliated Patterson
knows this and apparently
wants to exploit Machen’* pop

mains to be seen, however. If
Machen will permit this.

“I Got a Woman”; “Autumn Leav
es”; “Yes, Indeed”; “More”; “1
Wonder”; “A Taste of Honey”; The
Birdland”; “Witchcraft”.
My interest in this record stems
mostly from the manner la which
the tunes were handled .’. . There
fore, it is a pity that all the music
ians were not identifed in the liner
notes, so that they may be given
individual credit . . . The two that
are mentioned—Gravea and John

Last week, Patterson, wha Is In
no position to “call the shots” now,
reportedly drew up a list of fight

his comeback campaign. Heading
the list were Machen and Zora Tol

had given the blank stars when he
was champion.

still highly ranked when Patterson
once more ignored them to fight

During all this time. Machen
could not “move" Patterson to
give him a title shot. But when

It is my firm conviction that Pat
