Protest Lost
CHICAGO, May 8 M—The Illinois Athletic Commission,
voicing disappointment of Jer s e y Joe Walcott's showing
against Rocky Marciano and urging his retirement, today
rejected a protest of the fight by the aged ex-champion's
manager. •
There was little drama at the commission's hearing as
Chairman Livingsthn Os b or n e
ruled that Marciano's knockout
of Walcott in Chicago Stadium
Friday night "stands- as official"
and all five points of a written
protest are "disallowed."
Unless Felix .Bocchicchio, Wal
cott's manager, and his attorney,
Angelo Malandra, decide to seek
legal action against the decision
in the courts, the case is closed.
Both men attended a special
showing ,of a three-dimensional
film of the heavyweight title bout
prior to the hearing, and charged
they had been edited. Bocchicchio
then went to Chicago Stadium
and picked up a check from the
International Boxing Club for
$250,000 as Walcott's guarantee,
before appearing at the Commis
sion with Malandra.
The film. showed conclusively
that Walcott stirred only slightly
at the audible count of ten and
then arose, somewhat wobbily,
after being waved out by Referee
Frank Sikora.
In slow motion and conven
tional speed they showed that
Rocky's kayo punch. in 2:25 of
the first round was a left hook
partially blocked followed by a
combination right cross-uppercut
sort of blow to the chin.
The right did not appear to be
. as devastating as the head-snap
ping right cross _Rocky landed
eight months ago in Philadelphia
to put Walcott away - in the 13th
round. But it was the damaging
blow, and not the, left hook that
most television fans thought did
the trick. Walcott's back was to
the TV cameras, but the 3-D films
captured his dazed look• -through
the fifth or sixth count tolled-out
• by Sikora at his side and the offi
cial knockdown timekeeper Mike
Murphy. •It showed him on , his
haunches, one arm over a rope,
and his face trained on his corner
and Bocchicchio.

Lion Thinclads Lose
To Panthers, 68-63
By HERM. WEISKOPF
PITTSBURGH, May 18—Chick
Werner can be proud of his crew
of trackmen, even though they
were edged by Pitt, 68-63, Satur
day in the Smoky City. The Lions
proved themselves a scrappy,
hustling team as they fought for
every point.
Despite a record-setting per
formance by the Lions in the
mile relay, the last event of the
day, they lost the race and the
meet simultaneously. The Nittany
quartet lowered the 14 year old
school mark by 3:19.2 by two
tenths of a second, but Pitt
whizzed to a 3:18.4. s-
A virtual triple finish cli
maxed the 880-yard run, won by
Nittany Don Austin with a last
second spurt. He nipped teammate
Roy Brunjes and Pitt's Don Delli
gatti.
011ie Sax won his f i r s t 440
since injuring his ankle some two
months ago. He got off to an early
lead, but had to finish fast to
stave off a stretch drive by Pitt's
Ray Lee.
Three more Nittany firsts went
to Rosey Grier in the shot, discus
and javelin. Dan Lorch hit 13 feet
in the pole vault, but so did Pan
ther Don Minihan, as they tied
for first. Red- Hollen, topped the
mile in blazing finish that brought
STATE C.Ol-4. PIPINPVIMANTA
him to the lead with only some
30 yards from the finish line.
Two-miler Lamont Smith picked
up another first as he finished in
9:26.5, far ahead of any Pitt com
petitor. Hollen pulled in second
for the Lions at 9:34.9 to put him
in front of Bernie Luterancik of
Pitt.
It was another first for Jim
Herb in the high jump as he
cleared the bar at 6 ft. 3 in.
