But the Blue Hens picked themselves up, won their next four games and eventually salvaged a winning season. Saturday, Bucknell took a 13 to 0 first-half lead and the Hens' cause looked hopeless. Everybody in Memorial Stadium knew it was all over. Everybody but T-l 1 iiueiaware. The rechareed Blue Hens stormed back after intermission and seized a 14 to 13 edge before Bucknell scored twice in the last Staff Photo by Frank Fanay Eastern Basketball League clash at Salesi-anum School last night.

Two heavyweights will fight for the championship of the world in this desert oasis tonight and rarely, if ever, has the richest prize in sports been at the mercy of a pair with such dubious credentials.

But this town is living, breathing proof of Phineas T. Barnum's cynical observation that there's a sucker born every minute. So the bout will do well at the gate and, in all probability, at theater television outlets throughout the country. It will bring together the extroverted Cassius Marcellus Clay, the defender, and the introverted Floyd Patterson, a two-time loser of the heavyweight crown. If the opinions of the assembled experts are to be trusted-and they are not always a reliable guide-Clay will bomb out the older, slower and smaller Patterson, a man with a jaw of pure Dresden China.

Yet the match does have aspects that intrigue. Ignited by a 41-point effort by Fred Crawford, the Bombers fought back from a 62-45 second-period trouncing to narrow the gap at 64-61 at half time. The Bombers, playing their first home game, forged ahead 75-74 on Maurice McHartley's shot from underneath with 4:10 left in the third quarter and never trailed thereafter. The Barons, powered by Paul Silas, Laverne Tart and Larry Jones, tied it at 103-103 with 4:35 remaining in the final quarter. Crawford then scored eight successive points to salt it away.

The win was most appetizing ments of '65, the hard-hitting Delaware football image was restored. The Blue Hens came back. Cassius stayed away, stabbing and circling, until Liston chucked it. But one phase of that match in Miami should be neither forgotten nor overlooked. In the fifth round some foreign substance got into Clay's eyes, hampering his vision so that he wanted to quit.

He was saved by the quick reaction of Angelo Dundee, his manager, who pushed the reluctant dragon back into the ring where he amazingly held "I didn't think we'd do nearly this well after the Hofstra amateurish Clay never met a man with the rounded skills and ring guile of Patterson. By the time the present champion faced Sonny Liston, that once frightening destroyer had nothing left but a bullying demeanor and a malevolent glare. He quit, surrendering his championship in the most craven possible fashion. In the return match Liston let himself get knocked out by a phantom punch in the very first round. No dog in Floyd However, there is no dog in Patterson.

He won't quit. Ingemar Johansson knocked him down seven times but he game," revealed Coach Dave Nelson. "I'm not unhappy about the season. Last year (4-5), we had our problems. We were heading the wrong way.

For one thing Patterson is not obsessed by the chilling terrors that his too vivid imagination had endowed on the frightening figure of Liston. Yet the one asset that Clay has in overwhelming abundance is speed. He is the fastest heavyweight of them all, speed that's unbelievable in so big a man. He strikes and moves like Sugar Ray Robinson did in his prime. A hunch whispered that Patterson should be the selection in this corner.

Unlike Liston, who had all the mobility of a fire hydrant, Patterson won't be a standing target for Clay. He is a skillful boxer and he has a certain explosiveness as a puncher. He ended his second bout with Johansson with one sudden left hook, a thing of beauty. The Smorasbord Smasher was rendered so completely unconscious that the terrified Patterson was scared he'd killed him. Panic was in his eyes as he knelt alongside the inert Ingo, almost as if in prayer.

Patterson is torn inside by too many complexes and neuroses. This refugee from a psychiatrist's couch knew that he'should stay away from Liston in their second fight. Momentarily he did, but then he was hypnotized by the beady, cobra-like eyes of Liston and drawn inexorably straight ahead to his own destruction.
