The ttnd annual Orange

Gelther has a career 164-25-4
won-loss record for 20 years, while
Robinson has compiled a 147-58-10
standard for 22 campaigns as a
heed eoach.
None of the small-college post

and fanfare.
It annually attracts a crowd of
50,000 to the Orange Bowl stadium.
Classic officials are shooting for a
full house this year.

only previous Orange Bowl appear
ance.
Reaction was prompt after the

WBA NO ANSWER TO BOXING
FROBLEMS . .
CHICAGO (NPI) Some time*
ago the eminent columnist Red
Smith, commenting on the strange
rulings of tte controversial rating
group, remarked that “It remains
to be seen how long it will be be
fore the World Boxing Association
Is laughed out of business.”
The man k right H tha WBA
continues an It* present euarae,
It win surety be Just a matter of
time before it renders itself
ineffective and Incapable *f
commanding the reaper! of box
ing sane, wte. after all, are the
true and final Judges of pugtl-
expected to provide momentum
for the South Louisiana ven
ture.
In accepting the Orange Blossom
Classic bid G rambling removed
itself from consideration for the
NCAA sponsored Pecan Bowl in
Abilance. Texas scheduled tor early
December.
In my view, the sooner the WBA
ceases to exert its largely assumed
role es boxing's overlord, the better
It will be for professional fist fight
ing. For, I believe, the WBA has
proven by its impetuous actions
that it la not the answer to what
ails boxing.
Two cases in point, are the hasty
and the ill-advised attempt of the
group a few months ago to lift
Caaslus Clay’s title, obviously be
cause of bis adherence to Muslim
ism; and the association's more re
cent decision to proceed with a pre
viously-announced elimination
tournament to crown a new heavy
weight champion, while Clay, the
proven and bona fide champion,
was on the broad of bis back re
covering from a hernia operation.
The WBA backed down from the
former after being hit by a storm
M public protests But, as tor as is
known, it is still proceeding with
the so-called elimination tourda
■Mat
Rash and imprudent action, such
is these, an unworthy of any
group which presume to supervise
boxing.
Oae of the see* sacred raise

area to an Ma toet again. Or
dace the WBA realty want to
gtva Clay a chance to retain
hto title? Why aU the rash?
It to conceivable that the WBA
believes that if it could push the
tournament before Clay and Sonny
Liston fight their rematch, the so
called champion the WBA hopes to
crown as a result of the tourney
would be recognised by boxing
fans, instead of the Clay-Litooo
winner. Nothing could be further
from the truth. If I know boxing
fans correctly, they will never rec
ognize a paper champ, which, as 1
pointed out m an earlier column, to
what the tournament winner would
be.
Who are the contestants tor the
prep wed tournament, anyway?
Floyd Patterson, the ex-champ,
twice flattened by Liston in near
record time: Zora Folley. already
beaten by Liston; Cleveland Wil
liams, another Liston victim; Doug
Jones, perhaps the most creditable
of the lot but a Clay victim, none
theless: Ernest Terrell, a young
heavyweight just e few month* out
es the amateur rank* end untamed
by championship standards, and
some guy in Canada named Cbuva

Why. it would be a let Joke to

circumstances. In feet In such an
eventuality, tte WBA would meet
likely become the laughing stock of
tte entire world.
Clay, la my book, is still the
champ and will continue to be un
til he la beaten in tte ring or plac
ed permanently or indefinitely out
of action by such extremities as
death, injury or prolonged confine
ment In prison. The champ, how
ever, is a peaceful, law-abiding
citizen.
la tte meantime, any tournament
Without Clay or Liston competing
will, tn my assessment, be e fares,
and tte champion it crowns, s pa-
Tte eponsoring of a tournament
