Butts testified that Scobey one time paid some of his bills on a trip to New York. "Mr. Scobey is what I call a check grabber," Butts said with a grin, "and I sometimes have trouble getting my hand out of my pocket." The remark brought laughter from the capacity crowd. Surprise Meeting Buttstestif ied that-when he vas confronted in the office of the university attorney with the notes Burnett claims he made "I didn't know what the meeting was all about." "You were among friends, were you not?" Cody asked. "Po you want me to answer that?" vButts asked, grinning.

Cody changed his line of questioning. i Larry Andr-easen WHICH DELIVERS MORE POWER PER POUND OF FUEL? FOOTBALL TRIAL BY AL WOLF At the pace he's traveling, almost unbelievable for a bantamweight, Jesus Pimentel could become boxing's: all-time consecutive knockout king, The tiny Mexican has chloroformed 30 of 34 opponents and will be forking on a string of 21 straight when he squares off against fellow country-Man Jose Lopez in the annual "Fight for Lives" at the Olympic next Friday night. Lopez, by the way, isn't exactly a powder-puff puncher, either. He has put the deep freeze to 17 opponents in winning 29 of 30 starts. Pimentel ranks fourth in the listing of consecutive knockout pugilists, at least according to Nat Fleischer's record book, which is to boxing what -the -Sporting News Is -to baseball.

K'. Utah Fighter tn this fellow named Lamar Clark is credited with 43. 'straight stiffeners. this UiUih heavyweight is utterly disregarded by most folks associated with the fistic dodge, for the simple reason that most of his victims aren't listed elsewhere in the record book and may have been inno- cent bystanders or even figments of some press, agent's imagination.1 tHark finally went on TV and" himself was flattened by-one Bart olo Soni. Pete Rademacher followed with another KO of Clark and thus ended another sports myth.

Streak Snapped I.7-Blackjack Billy Fox ranks next with 42. This light heavyweight's streak Jwas stopped by Gus Lesne- vich in a title go. Gus him off in 10, then cut his course record to "one round in a rematch. The most legitimate string 27 in a row was compiled by Henry Arm--etrong, the onetime triple champion. Henry knocked over such well-known guys as Bass, Peter Sar-iron, Chalky Wright, Eddie Brink, Frank ie Klick and Wally Hally.

It finally took the late Baby Arizmendi to halt Armstrong's, streak right at the Olympic back in 1938. Pimentel also has 10 one- round knockouts to his credit, which ties him with ex-heavyweight champ Joe 5 Louis. i Lopez would be wise to double" his insurance before next Friday night. Or i else wear an umpire's chest I protector on his back. The padding in that Olympic ring is pretty thin.

Continued from First Page association with Frank Scobey of Chicago. Butts readily admitted he wasa "good friend" of Scobey, identified by the Senate Rackets Committee as a man who at one time placed heavy bets with a gambling syndicate. Butts acknowledged he had talked with Scobey by telephone several times prior to the controversial game. Under cross examination Butts said he made 10 or 11 calls to Scobey in September, 1962, one call on the day the game was played in Birmingham. Resume Monday Butts was not asked if he placed bets on football games but he has denied previously that he gambles.

He is due for further cross examination by Post attorneys when the trial resumes Monday.

Anderson and Fraser as America squeaked through, 3-2. Pressure Cited "Pressure is as much a part of tennis a3 hitting the ball," Olmedo maintains. "And in Davis Cup play the pressure is greatest, because you are representing a nation not just a club or yourself. "You must learn to control yourself. Tennis is a game of power these days, but you can't overlook finesse.

It's when things start going wrong that you can tell a great player from a good one. A great player will recovery a good one tends to fall apart."
