The Reno fighter stayed 10 rounds with Moore last month in San Francisco. "He's Wearing car ENRO Shirt" Former state heavyweight champion Watson Jones testi fied that he participated in four "fixed fights, three of them on instructions from matchmaker Babe McCoy.

"I loved that fat man," Jones said of the 300-pound McCoy, "but he robbed me." Jones told Gov. Knight's inves tigating committee that on McCoy's orders he "took a dive" against Joe Kahut in Portland, Ore, and Pat McCafferty in To-peka, Kan, in 1949. He also said he was ordered to get out early" against Harry Matthews and Jimmy Bivins in 1950. But Jones said McCoy had nothing to do with the Bivins fix. "Sparky Rudolph gave me my orders for that one," Jone; added.

Rudolph is McCoy's nephew. James Cox, the state's special counsel, called Jones to the witness stand after McCoy failed to appear. McCoy's attorney said his client was still ill. Jones, who gave his real name as Alexander -Dumas Watson, said McCoy had bestowed the ring name of Watson Jones, but not much more, on him. "McCoy was my boss the boxer testified, crying at times.

"He gave me what he wanted to. I never received so much as 25 per cent from any of my Jones said later $1,200 was the most he got for any fight, and that was from a gross purse of $4,100. He said McCoy and Aileen Le Bell, secretary and wife of Olympic promoter Cal Eaton, made deductions from his purses. Jones said he never got any extra money for throwing fights. McCoy would not tell him outright to lose, the boxer said, adding: "He'd always say, 'Make it a good fight and get out Jones, incidentally, in his last bout four weeks ago was knocked out by Zora Folley in Arizona.

Of that fight he said: "They offered me $125. I'm in bad shape but I took it I didn't do too well. I'm too old to get knocked around any more, but I made an appearance and got out of there" He indicated McCoy controlled his expenses and that he used to see the matchmaker every morning at breakfast for his money.

The former all-state eager at Platte was captain and all-Big Seven performer for the 1952 Kansas State team which was rated third nationally. An advocate of the fast break attack, he believes in a balanced, versatile attack supported by a strong defense.

He served as a member of the student association board of control as an undergraduate. He was a regular guard for two years, leading the Wildcats to the Big Seven championship In 1951 and to the finals of the National Collegiate tournament in 1952. Small for a eager, the 5-11 Iverson was known for his uncanny judgment, competitive spirit and shooting -ability. He still rates as the highest scoring guard ever to graduate from Kansas State.

Following his collegiate cage career, he played with the College Ail-American team which toured 16 states with the Harlem Globetrotters. After graduating in 1952, he served as an artillery officer in Germany before being selected to serve as player and coach for a brigade team of former college stars.
