Former boxing champ Louis dies LAS VEGAS, Nev. (AP) Former heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis, who held the title for 12 years and ranked as one of history's greatest fighters, died yesterday after being admitted to Desert Springs Hospital here, the hospital confirm ed. He was 66. "He was in a cardiac arrest state when he arrived," said nursing supervisor Shirley Brown. "They did everything they could to revive him." Brown said Louis died at 10:05 a.m. PST. "He had been ill for quite some time," Brown said. "He had had a stroke and different things." She said Louis' wife, Martha, and some immediate family members were with him when he died. Louis, confined to a wheelchair since he underwent heart surgery in 1977, attended the Larry Holmes-Trevor Berbick heavyweight title fight Saturday night at Caesars Palace. On April 6 he had been feted by some 1,500 people at a salute in his honor. Called the Brown Bomber for his punch and string of knockout victories, Louis was just 23 when he won the heavy weight title by knocking out 31-year-old James J. Braddock in the eighth round at Chicago in 1937. In 17 years as a boxer of which almost four years were spent in the Army during World War II he earned nearly $5 million. Louis had little to show for it when he was through and was in constant income tax difficulty with the government. When Louis retired for the first time, on March 1, 1949, he told reporters: "I'm glad to retire. It takes a load off my mind. the S • ''‘ Awigoo ,s UPI wirephoto Watson holds on to Wili,..MBSteto t AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Tom Watson turned back any would-be challengers with a front-run ning 71, and scored his second Masters victory yesterday in the 45th .renewal of golf's annual spring rite. Watson, who established himself as golf's current king with his 1977 triumph on the rolling hills of the Augusta National Golf Club course, won by two strokes with a 280 total, eight shots under par. While he never trailed over the last 18 holes of the first of the year's four major tests of golfing greatness, the green jacket was a hard-won piece of cloth. It was not exactly a walk in the park. There were challenges aplenty. First and last there was the indomitable figure of Jack Nicklaus, now 41 and secure in his position as the finest player the ancient game has produced. At other times, there were Johnny Miller, gritty little John Mahaffey and Greg Norman, the white-haired Australian sharp shooter. All got close at one time or another on the warm spring afternoon, but none of them could ever take that last step to pull even with Watson on the trek through the azaleas and dogwoods. The key to Watson's victory came on the two back-nine par-ss, the 13th and 15th holes. Miller, playing 54 minutes in front, birdied the 17th from about 14 feet to go six under par and pull within one stroke of Watson, who was seven under for the tournament when he played the 13th. On that hole, Watson put his second drive in Rae's Creek, the little stream that trickles through a ravine in front of the green. But he saved par and his lead. He pitched to 4 to 5 feet from the hole and made the putt. On the 15th, Watson two-putted for the birdie that gave him a two-shot margin and nailed down the win. Nicklaus and Miller tied for second, a position unhappily familiar to each, with 282 totals. Miller, now a three-time runnerup, had a closing 68. Nicklaus, who was seeking a sixth Masters title, settled instead for a share of a record he'd rather not have. He tied Tom Weiskopf for the most second place finishes four. After a slow start, Nicklaus managed to match par, 72. Norman was next, alone at 283 after an erratic I could see that I couldn't fight any more, and rather than lose the title in the ring, I decided to quit." But 27 months later he came out of retirement because of a pressing need for money, an urge to fight again and with confidence he could beat reigning heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles. He met Charles on Sept. 27, 1950, and was soundly beaten in a 15-round bout. "I'll never fight again," Louis said through swollen lips But just two months later he was back h, action with a string of victories. His career in the ring finally came to an end when he met Rocky Marciano on Oct. 26, 1951, at the age of 37. Marciano, 28, knocked Louis out in the eighth round. In 71 fights as a professional after he graduated from the Golden Gloves in Detroit, the Brown Bomber scored 54 knock outs in posting a 68-3 record. Louis fought a record 26 championship bouts, 25 of them defenses, without a loss, and many of those fights especially his rematch with Max Schmeling will be discussed as long as people talk about boxing. Louis was born Joseph Louis Barrow on May 13, 1914, in Lafayette, Ala. He was raised in a Detroit ghetto and became a professional fighter in 1934. • He won his first 28 fights before being knocked out by Schmeling, a former world heavyweight champion from Ger many, in the 12th round June 19, 1936, in New York. Louis shook off the stunning upset and went on to win the title, but he didn't forget the loss to Schmeling. And on June 22, 1938, in Yankee Stadium, Louis avenged the defeat. its Nicklaus, Miller tie for 2nd . He started the day with a one-shot lead over Nicklaus, the holder of 17 major professional titles. The eagerly anticipated duel between the two giants of the game really didn't materialize. The closest they came was on the final few holes when Nicklaus finally got untracked. He birdied the 15th, two-putting, and holed a long one, perhaps 35-40 feet, on the 16th. Still, he trailed. He received warm, loud ovations from the huge crowds surrounding the greens on the 17th and 18th, but he wore a rueful smile as he acknowledged the applause. It was an acknowl edgement of his past triumphs, his overwhelming record not the cheers given to a current winner., Watson birdied the par-5 second hole, had a two-shot margin and took it from there. He had only a couple of lapses a bogey on the ninth, where his putt rolled down the steeply sloping 'green onto the front fringe and he had to chip back and one-putt for bogey. He dodged a bullet on the 13th, where his great save of par saved his lead and possibly the tournament. The little second putt for birdie on the 15th, no more than ,two feet in length, confirm ed Watson's character. a d . . ...... , :.„4 n. e rso . ~..,.. ..t !...: 0, ..: si,:i A ,to By SHARON FINK Daily Collegian Sports Writer ovation that night.

Third-seeded UCLA gave Utah a good fight before ending up second (144.10), and Cal-State Fullerton, the fourth-seed ed team that competed in the next-to-last rotation, scored well enough (141.95) to edge out Penn State for third by .15. Redemption came Saturday night, however, in the finals of floor exercise, courtesy of freshman Heidi. Anderson. Anderson, the only Lady Lion who made any event final, was the leader going into the final with a 9.45 from Friday, and she won the national floor exercise title Sat urday by scoring a 9.6 the highest score given out in any event final. "Heidi was great," Penn State head coach Judi Avener said. "She was really, really great. What a trooper. We were all cheering for her, rooting her on. She was 72 that included a double bogey on the long 10th that destroyed any upset hopes he may have held. Tom Kite, who has a history of high finishes in this event, and Jerry Pate were next at 284. Kite closed up with a 68, matching Miller's effort for the best round of the day, and Pate shot 70. David Graham, an Australian and a former winner of the PGA, was next at 71-285. Ben Crenshaw, Mahaffey and Ray Floyd fol lowed at 286. Mahaffey, only one stroke back with nine holes to go, slipped to a 74 with 40 on the back nine. Floyd, a former winner here and holder of two 1981 titles, shot 71. Crenshaw, still lacking the one major title he needs to confirm his position in the game, had 73. The victory was worth $60,000 to Watson, who has set money-winning records in each of the past three seasons and won Player of the Year honors in the past four. It also extended his habit of scoring multiple triumphs in certain key events. Of his 26 career victories, including three British Opens, he has acquired 19 of them in only eight tournaments. the only person who got a standing year, 36.10, on vault (because Penn State was seeded fourth, it competed on floor first, then vault, bars and beam). On bars, the event that gave them trouble at regionals, the Lady Lions didn't do badly but had their problems. They scored their third-lowest of the year —35.4 But the difference between fourth and third, the cause of all the hurt and disap pointment, was beam. Four of six Lady Lions fell off, and they wound up scoring their second-lowest of the year, 34.95. Marshall summed things up rather subduedly with, "Beam really did it. Four out of six. That's the story." He went on to try to explain the hurt. "It's one thing not to place high," Marshall said. "Then to feel you did not perform well. . .It's a hurt one must experience to appreciate. We feel so badly. We muddled through. We feel we let ourselves down, we let Penn State Former heavyweight boxing cham pion Joe Louis died yesterday in Las Vegas, Nev. He was 66. Louis, nick named the Brown Bomber, had been in ill health for some time . While he was waiting for Norman, his partner, to putt out, Watson heard the footsteps of the Golden Bear. They came in a resounding roar when Nicklaus holed that beautiful putt on the 16th. Watson, knowing Nicklaus was on the move, never faltered. He grimaced when the sound came' ringing through the trees, scowling, show ing an expression of pain. When it was his turn to putt, he stepped quickly to the ball and rammed it home. Potential danger was on the 17th. Although he led by two, he ducked his head in dismay when his approach shot found a bunker. Watson blasted out to about 3 to 4 feet and made that par-saving putt. The 18th went by routinely. Mahaffey played the front side in 34 and was within one at that time. The hard-luck guy, whose career has been dogged by a series of injuries, couldn't handle the vast length of the 10th and 11th par-4 holes measuring 485 and 455 yards, respec tively. He bogeyed them both. Norman, playing in his first Masters, also was a threat after the first nine and also dropped back on the 10th, where he drove into the woods, played out, threw his second through the green and took three from there a double bogey. That left only Miller, playing well in front, and Nicklaus. Miller simply ran out of holes. He got his score to six under par and went to the white, colonial clubhouse hoping for a repeat of the 1973 U.S. Open. In that tournament, he came from deep in the pack with an early 63 and then sat around for a couple of hours before the rest of the field finished and he won the American national championship. "I'm happy to at least let Watson know I was around;" Miller said. "I didn't think much about winning when I started out, but after birdies on the first two holes, Oakmont came into my mind." Nicklaus was two over par for the front side and couldn't really get anything generated until he two-putted from a vast distance for the birdie on 15. The long birdie putt on 16 lifted him into a Jack waited for him at the 18th green and was among the first to shake Watson's hand when the last little par putt dropped in the hole. mistakes. AlAWillobr-- gild e 4 down. . .It's not so much we wanted to place higher, we did not perform well." Judi said all in all, the team did not perform badly. Before the final rotation started, she said, the Lady Lions felt psyched, confident and good about them selves. And for the most part, they put on their usual gutsy performance, led by Marcy Levine. Levine performed all around with a cracked rib and, besides breaking on bars, did well, Marshall said. But she was Penn State's second-high est all-around finisher at 19th. Anderson was the highest, tying for. eighth, while Karen Polak was 23rd and Lisa Ingebret sen 26th. For the first time in several years, not one Lady Lion finished in any of the top six All-America spots in all around. It is ironic the Lady Lions had their biggest problems on beam. Beam is their best event. During the season they aver aged three points higher than their oppo nents on that event. In their last five regular season meets, they scored over 37. Penn State's beam performance at regionals saved a decent score and its fourth seed at nationals, and it won all six individual places. And on a Penn State Sports Information handout the team took along for the press in Utah, there's a little paragraph about, "Team Strength on Balance Beam." But Utah rightfully deserved to win, Marshall said. The Utes had some breaks but looked much like the Utah that was in Rec Hall in early March, he said. And UCLA, the fifth-place team last year, was helped by two all-arounders who By The Associated Press Bob Lanier scored 11 of his 23 points and Marques Johnson 10 of his 35 in the fourth quarter, blunting a Philadelphia 76er rally and sweep ing Milwaukee to a 109-98 victory yesterday as the Bucks tied the two teams' National Basketball Associa tion Eastern Conference playoff se ries at 2-2..

That still didn't take away from the disappointment. "It just hurts to believe we let down," Judi said. "At the end of beam, the girls went off the floor into a little room and cried. But they. held their heads high. They were proud in defeat, shaking hands with all the other teams. They lost, like the champions they are. "I don't know. It's just we so easily: could have been third. Beam. . .And it's so typical Fullerton beat us for it by .15." That's another irony. Fullerton has tttl . been a thorn in Penn State's national aspirations since the Lady Lions won their first national title in 1978 by .15 over Fullerton. In 1979, the Titans won the title at Rec Hall by .10 over Penn State. This year Fullerton was the only other ; tv team to beat Utah during the regular; season and was seeded fourth,• only .04 behind the Lady Lions. In the end, Marshall grudgingly ac- cepted the Lady Lions' finish. "It's' just one of those years," he said. "We said in the beginning this was a rebuilding year. The fact that we did as well as we did is a credit to this team. We're only disappointed on hOw we did it. "In a sense we outdid, ourselves. Fourth is about right for this team.

"Dave Parker is swinging the bat and running like the Dave Parker in the MVP year he had," Tanner said after Parker rapped three hits, including a home run that preceded a consecutive homer by Pirate newcomer Jason Thompson off losing pitcher Ray. Burris. "I've never thought a thing about his weight," added Tanner. "All I want him to do is be healthy. People make big issues out of things, but Dave is a big man, he's 6 feet 5, and Dave plays hard and he plays every day.,, Parker's weight has been a point of controversy wince the start of spring training. The 29-year-old right fielder weighed about 225-230 pounds when he won the National League MVP award in 1978. But after knee surgery during the past offseason, he reported this spring at an acknowledged weight of 255 pounds. Parker was silent yesterday, declining to talk to reporters. "No more, no more," said Parker, who had !leen gruinbling about media attention on his waistline. "Dave, when he plays, is capable of losing three to five pounds on a day like this," said Tanner. Parker smacked Burris' first pitch. of the fourth liming over the right field fence for his first homer of the season and Thompson followed with his first homer as a Pirate, driving a 3-1 pitch over the right field wall.

Atlanta starter John ' Montefusco, making his debut for the Braves, had allowed only one hit, a leadoff single to Dave Collins in the first, before leaving in the seventh. The.
