Washington, D. C. ? Fleyd Pat
terson has proved hiaaelf ? great
heavyweight champion Hit elec
tric fifth-round K. O. ?f heavy
weight champion Iageraar Johans
son was just aa dramatic as Inge
mar's knockout a year ago.
In becoming the first heavy
weight champion ever to come
back, Patterson has set the stage
for a third fight, which could
draw a million dollar gate. Since
both men now seek the knockout
ending, the third match ? if there
is one ? should be a natural.
Patterson not only surprised
most of the "experts" (this writ
er picked Johansson and thought
Patterson's main chanoe was in a
route-going decision) but he again
proved himself to be a model
worthy champion, and recalled
that he never before had been
judUd a great one.
Moreover, as soon at he had
brought the title back to the
United States, he personally as
sured the deposed Swede he
would . get his rematch. Said |
Floyd to an announcer: "I thought
that would make him (eel better."
Patterson, In (art, waa more
composed than the ex-champions
and boxing greats surrounding
him. It was especially interesting
to hear Rocky Marciano give the
edge to Inxemar before the fight
and then claim, afterward, that he
had picked Patterson. Tony Galen
to didn't think much of Patter
son as s fighter before the bout,
on the mike, but Fiord changed
a lot of things during the bout.
If he can continue to fight at
about 190 pounds and not lose his
fine edge and timing. Patterson
could go on to become one of the
greatest champions. He has defi
nitely lifted himself but pf the
suspect category with this win,
and now must be rated a mean,
dangerous and extremely fast
punching heavyweight champion.

Speaking
Of Golf
By JOE MAPLES
Several of our local players
went to Gaitonia for the on* day
Carolina Golf Assn. tournament
last Sunday. It was an awful day
for golf, being wet, cold and
cloudy but they all managed to
get in their rounds, some playing
good, others not so well.
Horace Dowling had a bad day,
shooting 89 with a 7 handicap
giving him a net score of 78. Jack
Groce also had a rather had day
shooting 85-6-79. Roger Tlwmas
shot 94-16-78. J. E. Joines had 98
22-76. Raleigh CottreU had 96-16
80. Hubert Inman had 98-21-72.
Bill Rowland had 86-7-79. Howard
CottreU had 84-12-72. Howard had
the best gross score of any of the
players from here and he and
Joines had the best net acores,
each with 72. It is doubtful if any
of these scores were good enough
to win any prizes but it Is pos
sible, playing under very rough
weather conditions. A* of now we
haven't heard if we had any win
ners from here. Anyway, the boys
all seemed to have had a food
time and that is what count* most.
The weekly "dogfight" of area
golfers was held at the local
course last week, with about 20
players from Boone, Blowing
Rock, Gastonia Hickory and
Spruce Pine taking part
The team of Ernest Htjres,
Frank Schford, Bill Williams and
Charlie Elledge won with a best
^ ball scores of 64, seven under par.
Helping in a big ?iy with this
score were two eagles, one by
Ernest Hayes on the stkth and
one by Frank Schmord on the
twelth. Hayes sank a long putt
for his after hitting the par five
sixth in two. Schford holed out
his second shot on twelve with ?
wedge for his eagle. The winning
team got good help ftwai Elledge
who made the only par on 16 and
