Marciano Is 3%-l Choice;
Advance Safes Climbing
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK, Sept. 19 ( fP ) Hurricane lone, swirling
north with a wallop that could flatten both Rocky Marciano
and Archie Moore, threatened tomorrow night’s big heavy
weight title bout at Yankee Stadium-
Promoter Jim Norris, president of the International Box
ing Club, kept an ear glued to
the telephone for the latest re
ports from his personal weather
'man who predicted a mid-morn
ing clearing.
Until lope decided to try to
crash the gale, the ticket sale
was booming with the advance
approaching $BOO,OOO. A tre
' mendous last day sale was ex
pected. Now it all depends on
the weather.
If the fight should be post
poned, it would go on Wednesday
night. With the Yankees on the
road, Yankee Stadium is avail
able the rest of the week.
The odds favoring Marciano
lengthened a bit to 3%-l as fight
time approached. The book
makers said it was 6-5 Moore
wouldn’t go more Mhan eight
rounds and 18-5 the bout wouldn’t
last the 15-round route.
Boxing writers who- have
visited both camps were even
more positive than the odds.
Of 68 polled, it was a 64-4 land
slide for Marciano, the heavy
weight king who is unbeaten
in his 48-boot career. The aver
age pick was Rocky by a
knockout over the lightheavy
king in nine rounds.
Marciano flew in from his
training camp at Grossinger, N.Y.,
and was shuttled off to a hiding
place until weigh-in time at noon
tomorrow in the lobby of-Madi
son Square Garden.
"I am in the best condition
of my life," Marciano said. "1
am going to win and by a
knockout if it is humanly pos
sible."
Moore, the wandering minstrel,
who gets a chance to become the
oldest man ever to win the title
at 38, flew from North Adams,
Mass., his training base

third spot.

Outing Club Announces
Three-fold 55 Schedule
Membership soared last night
for Penn State’s Outing Club as
freshmen and upperclassmen
alike turned out in force to the
club’s first meeting where plans
for the 1965 activity list were an
nounced.
The Club, which swelled to 500
members last year, has 16 offi
cers and is divided into three
main groups—field and stream,
cabin and trail, and winter sports
Each group has its own officers.
James Bealer, president of the
field and stream group, outlined
that section’s coming activities
which would include the annual
canoeing trip to Canada next
summer, archery events, fishing
trips, and a turkey shoot.
Sealer’s group will also have
a rifle team.
Joseph Phillips, president of
the winter sports section, an
nounced that his group will again
sponsor a five-day skiing trip
to Allegheny Park in New York.
Phillips also said that three
skiing parties will be held this
winter. The dates of the weekend
parties will be announced at a
later date. An ice show and ice
skating and skiing instructions
will be added to this year’s pro
gram, Phillips said.
Albert Reeves, president of the
cabin and trails section of the
club, announced that a “leanto”
—a slanted roof shelter with
three sides—had been construct
ed at Beaver Dam last year by
his group. Plans for a similar
project atop Mt. Nittany will be
handled by Reeves’ group this
year.
In addition, the cabin and trails
group plans to sponsor a joint
outing and several overnight
hikes this year.
, The Outing Club is partially
supported by money alloted to it
from rpti-wi o n fees of students
enrolled at the University. The
auaitional finances, which are
used for repairing and buying
State College, Pa.
equipment such as the ski tower,
are paid by assessing each mem
ber a $2 membership fee.
Money for the cost of food and
transportation' for the various
trips is obtained on a “chip-in"
basis.
The highlight of the club’s
summer activities was a ten-d y
"' , noe trio from State CMlege to
Brenton .Ontario. Despite several
sov_,i-miie hikes, heavy wine’s,
cold weather, rain, and rough
water in addition to sleeping in a
railroad depot someplace in On
tario, the group seemed to enjoy
themselves.
