Stewart's long walks down the sidelines of the Memorial Hall court to object to Winona Stale's Bob Campbell about the officiating made him no friends and finally earned him a technical foul that almost cost SCI the game. AS IT TURNED out, the Panthers won it H4-IK! to hand Winona State its second straight loss. It was their second victory and it didn't come easy. State, which had erased a 156 delicit in the first half and forged 2U-25 intermission advantage, looked like a winner until eight minutes and 11 seconds remained. Then the Warriors went scoreless for almost six minutes while the Iowans rattled off 13 straight points 'or a 58-50 margin with to go.

That would have made most teams fold but not the Warriors. Ken Stellpflug cut it to 58-52 as the Panthers turned on the freeze. Boh Ware matched that with a layup. ONLY 1:28 remained when Stellpflug sank two free throws. Seventeen seconds later.

More to Cus' liking for the next fiyht is Henry Cooper, the British heavyweight champion. who meets contender Zoi a Folley of Chandler, in London tonight.

That's what D'Amato told the Associated Press.

"He knows what he must do to get it. It is up to him. is all I can say He declined to elaborate Patterson said he would like to fight again early next year.

Liston, after flattening West-phal with one right hand to the jaw in of the first round at Philadelphia's Convention Hall, said "I'm ready for him right now." "He's been scared for me tor more than a year and a half," said Liston. the reinstated No. 1 contender from Philadelphia who has had several scrapes with the law. The Patterson-McNeeley wing-ding in which Patterson went clown on a so-called slip, at Maple Leaf Gardens, and the Lis-ton-Westphal quickie formed a closed-circuit television double-header that was shown in about 150 theatres and arenas in the United States and Canada.

MANKATO'S SCARLETS got an unexpwted dividend when Bruce Hoff's family moved from Waterloo, Iowa, to Mankato last summer.

Hoff, a forward, stands an even six-feet tall. Coach Orv Schwankl, who lost 11 boys of his first 15 last year, feels a little better today; LUTHER McCOWN, director of athletics at Winona State Col- lege, doesn't really believe in keeping basketball "in the dark" at WSC. And he means it literally. In the Warrior opener Saturday night at Memorial Hall, things looked dark on the court, and not just from the standpoint of the score. A check of the wattage in the overhead lighting revealed that each of the 36 bulbs were 500-watters instead of the required 750 watts.

The situation was remedied prior to Monday night's game. CONGRATULATIONS TO Coach Bob Jones and his WSC grap- lers on repeating as champions in the Carleton Invitational Tournament Saturday.
