Glay Calls His Shot: Knocks Out Moore in 4th Round LOS ANGELES (AP) Cassius Clay, putting his gloves where his was, knocked out the old mongoose, amazing Archie Moore, in four rounds the exact round the cocky youngster had predicted in their heavyweight fight last night. The end for old Archie, the ring's most celebrated antique, began in the third round, and the 20-year-old Clay finished him off after 1 minute, 35 seconds of the fourth in their scheduled 12-rounder. As a capacity Sports Arena crowd estimated at 15,000 watched with a roar of amazement, the unbeaten young Louisville sensation literally hammered old Arch into submission with a barrage of lefts and rights while running his victory string to 16. A left and a right stunned Archie and floored him for the first of three knockdowns in the fourth. Moore was so hurt that he literally half-stood on his head trying to get up from the canvas.

ful, good-looking Cassius. Moore fought in a low crouch, his arms wrapped around to protect his chin and jaw. The defense worked reasonably well for two rounds and occasionally Archie managed to whip an overhand right or left to Clay's head and midsection. But Cassius, some three inches taller and ith a much longer reach, was generally hard to find. About midway in the third round, Cassius smashed three good rights to the jaw and Archie, wobbly on his feet, backed into the ropes near Clay's corner.

At the 10-second warning buzzer it looked as though Moore surely would fall and it took all his skill to last out the round. Moore answered the bell for the fourth but it was obvious the old man, who has been in the fighting trade for some 30 years, was tired and headed for defeat. Cassius was unmarked and apparently as fresh as he had been when the widely heralded match began. The crowd had set up a roar hen the bell opened the fourth. Cassius repeatedly and publicly had promised that "Moore must fall in four." And so he did.

Dr. Robert Rixke rushed into the ring and made a quick examination of Moore as he struggled to gain his feet. But Archie waved him off, walked over to congratulate his young tormentor, and left the ring a smile on his grizzled face and the cheers of the crowd following him to the dressing room. Clay, who had received a generous round of good natured boos when he entered the ring, was given an ovation when he left the ring after posing happily for a battery of cameramen. The fight was seen on closed-circuit television at theaters in 50 or more cities.

Seated in the third row ringside behind Clay's corner was world heavyweight champion Sonny Lis-ton. With him were his wife and his adviser, Jack Nilon of Philadelphia, who came here to see the fight and talk over a possible title match with the winner. Earlier, Liston had expressed little regard for young Cassius and his title aspirations. In fact, Liston, in an afternoon interview, half jokingly said it might be better to fight both Moore and Clay the same night in what he termed a tag team match, like the wrestling boys sometimes perform. Referee Hart and the two judges, George Latka and Lee Grossman, all had Clay the winner of the first three rounds on points.

In the dressing room Clay gleefully challenged Liston to a title shot while Moore, battered and 'ry-ing to keep back tears, conceded that he might be at the end of his long and fabulous career. Clay, who was unmarked and Clay's handlers cautioned him about making rash predictions but the young fighter kept chattering: "If it was left up to me, I would fight Liston right now. I'll go put oa my trunks and fight him right now." Clay said he didn't let up for a minute during last night's fight and added pensively: "I don't give myself so much credit for beating Moore. After all, he is an old man." Archie had ugly welts on his forehead and cheeks, but his face was uncut and there was no blood. The gray-haired old warrior sat in his dressing room with his chin on his chest, his thick brown arms holding a towel around his waist.

Someone asked if Archie thought last night's defeat was the end. Tears welled in Moore's eyes for a second. For once in his life, Archie had trouble talking. As his jaw muscles worked with emotion he replied, in a thin, quavering voice: "I don't know. It just might be" The accurate lefts and rights of Clay again crashed through Archie's by-then feeble defense and he went down on the seat of his pants.

At each knockdown, referee Tommy Hart reached the count of eight. But the referee did not bother to count after Archie's third trip to the floor. "No single punch really knocked him out," said Hart before leaving the ring. "Cassius just poured the gloves into Moore and I knew he was through." Clay weighed 204. the heaviest of his relatively brief career which began soon after he won the light-heavyweight championship in the I960 Olympic Games.

Moore, from San Diego, weighed 197 for this, his 220th ring appearance. This as only the seventh knockout he had suffered. Fights From Crouch The old mongoose, as Archie calls himself, quickly indicated the style he hoped would baffle youth- talkative as ever, swaggered back to his room, winking and slapping backs en route. "Ain't I beautiful," he told a female admirer just before he stepped into his cubicle. Young Cassius perched himself on a table and declared: "'You just can't put a good old man against a good young man." His brother, Rudy, chimed in after each declaration with "that's right Cassius, you tell 'em." "I'm tht Grtatcst" "I'm the greatest." boasted Clay, "and I'm also the double greatest, cuz I took him out in four just like I told you I would." The sweet-punching Kentucky bahe with the unmarked profile said he thought Liston might last eight rounds with him, Cassius told newsmen that Liston shook hands ith him after the fight and quoted the champion as saying: "You go eight seconds with me, and I'll give vou the fight." mmm sy iw.w, j.

Dick Matteo's Indians, 11-1 this season and 26-3 record-wise the past two campaigns, had to come from behind to win and they did it in spectacular fashion.

Blairstown (8-3-2) went in front 1-0 at the three minutes mark of the third period on a goal by left wing Art Serpico. The kick came from 18 yards out on a pass from halfback Richie Skow who played an outstanding game for Blairstown.
