Rings of Brazilian professional boxing ready to campaign mapped for New Champ By MURRAY ROSE ST. LOUIS, Dec. 18 (P)—Archie Moore, the newly-crowned light heavyweight champion, doesn't intend to waste too much time cashing in on his title. The 36-year-old veteran of 16 years of pro battling said today he will rest about a month and then start working on the busy campaign Manager Charley Johnston is mapping out for him. "He's chased the title for eight years," said Johnston. "Now he'll chase the money." Moore's next fight may be a non-title affair in St. Louis Feb. 18 with the winner of the Danny Nardico-Jake La Motta clash, scheduled for Miami Dec. 31. "That fight will depend on how the Nardico-La Motta bout goes," said Truman Gibson, secretary of the International Boxing club. "We wanted to put Moore in with Bob Satterfield in Chicago on Jan. 14, but Archie wants to go back to San Diego and rest first. He's been fighting or training constantly for over six months. "Jim Norris, president of the IBC, Jack Kearns manager of Joe Maxim and Johnstone discussed the plans for a return title bout between Moore and Maxim early this morning," added Gibson. "We're agreed on most details. It will probably be in mid-April. But we haven't decided on the site yet." Johnston said Maxim, who was thoroughly drubbed while losing his 175-pound crown to Moore here last night can have no and the sand-blasting and painting of the buildings in the original "Santa Anita Blue."

Johnston said Maxim, who was thoroughly drubbed while losing his 175-pound crown to Moore here last night, can have the return match any time he wants. "Archie will fight anyone," said Johnston. "I've got a champion who will chase after opponents. That's a switch, isn't it? "And who said Moore won't draw? That $89,487 last night wasn't peanuts, was it? I'm going to talk to Norris about getting a crack at Rocky Marciano's heavy-weight title. "We'd like Jersey Joe Walcott, too. I'll bet Archie will knock out Walcott, quicker than Marciano does next time. We've already beaten Clarence Henry and Jimmy Blivins, so there aren't too many ranking heavyweights left. If Roland in Starza wants some action, Archie will be glad to oblige. "Then there's Cesar Brion, the Argentine heavyweight. We may take him on in Buenos Aires. That should draw $100,000 down there in the summer. He's been there before and they like him. "Naturally, we'll take on any of the ranking light heavies they want. And how about Randy Turpin and Ray Robinson? Turpin decides to stay with the middleweights and Robinson's gonna retire. Robinson announced his retirement today. Archie sure makes them quit easy. "I'm going to cable the British Boxing Board; though, that we are ready to fulfill any obligations to meet Turpin if they desire. All they have to do is tell us when to leave for England. And Jack Solomons the British promoter can referee." Moore, who plans to leave for San Diego in a day or two, agreed heartily with everything his manager said. The new champ just received expenses for last night's victory. Maxim collected $100,000. The Cleveland veteran, who didn't look too bad considering the beating he absorbed, will head for his home town in a couple of days. PASADENA: Dec. 18 (UP)—football camps of Wisconsin at Southern California echoed the thumps of colliding athletes today as the rivals resumed drills for their Rose Bowl game. The co-champion Badgers from the Big Ten spent the morning session performing for camelmen, but Coach Ivy Williams herded them into more serious business for the afternoon. The visitors are drilling behind closed gates at Brookside Park near the bowl itself. In Los Angeles, on their o Bovard Field, the Trojans practiced behind locked gates, the Coach Jess Hill said his Pacific Conference champion stressed passing and defended against Wisconsin running play. Asked if he planned to take a vantage of Wisconsin's purported weakness against a passing attack by using tall Rudy Bukich more than Jim Sears, Hill replied: "depends on the way the game goes, but Sears is still my No. tailback." Hill said his ban against Mi western writers watching his workouts would remain in effect as long as Williamson imposes the same ban on Western writers who might want to inspect the Badger at work. In past years since the Big Ten PCC Rose Bowl series began, B Ten coaches have barred the Westerners but the Coast coaches have permitted all accredited writers into their drills.

The California Athletice Commission voted to seek to have nationally televised boxing programs eliminated from the state on the grounds they might hurt attendances of boxing shows, principally in Hollywood and Oakland. Walter Sullivan, representing the Hollywood American Legion Club, urged the commission to take the blackout action. "The Hollywood club has switched its boxing night from Friday to Saturday because nationally televised Friday night fights had cut my club's receipts about 50 per cent," Sullivan declared. "The club formerly averaged weekly receipts of $5000." The commission, with Archie Closson of Lodi presiding as chairman, agreed to send letters urging the blackout. The letters will go to the National Boxing Association; to other state commissions not affiliated with it, and to various managers associations and guilds in the East. NEW YORK, Dec. 18 (AP)—Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson positively retired from the ring today to devote his time to his business and dancing career. He made the announcement through Abe Greene, commissioner of the National Boxing association in a backhanded punch at the New York State Athletic commission. As New York stripped Robinson of his title, Dec. 4 for not defending within six months, the 32-year-old Harlem dandy made his formal retirement through Greene in a mimeographed release. Sugar Ray, one of boxing's all time greats with only three defeats in a brilliant career of 137 pro fights, said he picked the NBA because it represented the majority of the boxing commissions of the world and because it had been extremely helpful to him. "At this stage of my career I don't feel I can give my followers the best I have," said Robinson in a telephone interview. "I don't want to let them down. "A lot of very big people, and I mean very big people, in boxing put a lot of pressure on me to go through with the Randy Turpin match. But I felt I should have made this announcement long before so I made up my mind all of a sudden. "I don't want to be like a lot of others who didn't retire in time." Robinson won't have to worry. He has a bar and grill, a beer and ale distributing agency, a lingerie shop, a barbershop, a cleaning establishment and a real estate office in Harlem. He started a new career as a night club entertainer Nov. 8 and is booked for a long tour that will take him to Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Miami Beach after the holidays. George Barton, president of the NBA, informed Greene by telephone from St. Paul office that he favored contests among Bobo Olson, a ranking challenger; Ernie Durando, Paddy Young and Rocky Catellani as runners-up.

Gazette SPORTS Layne, Walker Question Marks as Lions Prepare for Battle with Rams DETROIT, Dec. 18 (UP)—Bobby Layne and Doak Walker—who played on the same title-minded high school football team nine years ago—are question-marks on the Detroit Lion pro team today. Quarterback Layne will be able to pass in Sunday's post-season National Conference playoff with the Los Angeles Rams here. But Layne isn't sure he can cut it on his injured leg. He didn't try in today's test. And that will hurt his effectiveness, for he was the team's second-best ballcarrier. Left halfback Doak's problem is rustiness. Never in his 16 years of organized football has he been out of the lineup so long. He's regaining some sharpness and hopes to have it all back Sunday. Young Cagers to Compete in Holiday League The Anaheim Recreation Department's Christmas holiday program, will get underway Dec. 23 when play will start in the Elementary school basketball league.

The Rams are bidding to get in the final for the fourth straight year. Coach Hampton Pool was airborne with his defending champion Rams this morning, bound for Detroit, when Layne tested his leg with some hard running at Briggs stadium. The Rams will likewise work out at the stadium. Pool plans his final workout tomorrow. Pool announced that if the Rams win, they'll fly back to the coast to prepare for the Browns. Some folks had expected he might plan to stay in this chilly region to get his players used to the cold. It was 101 in the Los Angeles coliseum for the Rams last game. And it will likely be between 25 and 30. Olson Punches Out Unanimous Nod Over Hayes SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18 (UP)—Carl Bobo Olson of San Francisco tonight punched out a unanimous 10 round decision over Norman Hayes, Boston. Olson weighed 163, Hayes 162½. The two high ranking middle-weight contenders staged a savage battle, swinging punches almost from bell to bell in every round. Olson, the country's No. 1 challenger for the championship, rained punches on his rival from the start. He banged Hayes with rights to the jaw and to the body. There were no knockdowns and Hayes stood up under terrific smashes to the jaw. Olson landed at will at times but Hayes took everything offered and came back fighting.

The Boston boy, No. 8 in the National Boxing association rankings, stood toe to toe at times to exchange punches with his formidable rival. Hayes suffered a gash over his left eye in the second round and the cut bled every round thereafter. In the seventh round, one of the fastest, Olson pounded Hayes with rights and left to the jaw but the latter came fighting back. The crowd cheered when they finished the session. Cal-Washington Cagers to Clash SEATTLE, Dec. 18. (AP) —California and Washington rated well apart nationally but regarded hereabouts as evenly matched, clash Friday and Saturday nights in a basketball series that has no bearing on the Pacific coast conference standings. But the double clash should give a good basis for comparing 18th-ranking California with 12th-placed UCLA, chief rivals in the southern division of the conference. Washington, rated ninth in the Associated Press poll, split a double bill with ULA last weekend in Los Angeles. A frustrated Hunter Gets His Bag of Ducks—All Wood MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 18.

Tony, 42, was advised by physicians to sell last season because of a heart condition. But he decided to ride out the 1952 schedule. "I've found out," he said today, "It is too much, and after all, I owe it to my family to consider my health as my most important aspect."
