In the other lower bracket quarterfinal, Neale Fraser of I Australia defeated Kosei Kamo of Japan in a match that ran true to form, 6-1, 7-5, 6-2. I Holmberg was the vitclm of the OS ANOBLBS, Aug. IS m- An enlarged "heart commonly called "athlete's heart" -caused the death of UCWs master of the art of football, Henry (Red) Sanders. The man many called a coaching genius, seemingly in perfect health, collapsed and died Thursday. An autopsy Friday morning blamed rupture in a diseased segment of the coronary artery.

Coroner Theodore J. Curphey said' Sanders' heart weighed 500 grams, whereas normal for an inactive male is 300-400. As a stunned athletic world paid tribute to the popular 53-year-old athletic figure, UCLA's athletic director said no single individual will attempt to fill Sanders' shoes. Wilbur Johns said at a coaches' convention in Chicago that "an organization set up temoug our own staff" will replace him next season. Curphey said the heart condition could be the result of athletic activities or of a kid- like Red Sanders her was unique," said chancellor Raymond B.

Allen of UCLA. Sanders, coming to UCLA in 1949 from Vanderbilt, fashioned it into one of the nation's most formidable grid powers. He was stricken while sipping a soft drink Thursday afternoon with a blonde in a downtown hotel room. The woman said his last words were: "Football is a great game. You should come out this autumn and see a few games." The blonde, Mrs.

Ernestine Drake, said she was introduced to Sanders a few minutes before by William T. (Pop) Grimes, 81, the registered occupant of the room. Mrs. Drake, a divorcee, was convicted as a prostitute in nearby Beverly Hills in 1957 and served a jail term. Grimes has a long record for arrests for pandering and served a San Quentin prison term after one conviction.

"We're calling it sudden death from occlusive, advanced arteriosclerosis of the left and right coronary arteries," he said. Funeral services were tentatively set for next Tuesday in Nashville's West End Methodist church, with burial in Nashville. Memorial services will be held at Westwood Community Methodist church, near the UCLA campus, next Monday. Tributes, meanwhile, flowed in from across the country.

So it behooves Floyd Patterson to whip Roy Harris Monday night and retain his world heavyweight championship. If he loses, Patterson might never see the title again. Patterson, of course, is an overwhelming favorite to successfully defend the valuable crown in the 15-round battle. Patterson has a 60-day return clause for a rematch in his contract with the big boy from Cut And Shoot, Texas, in the event he does lose. But return-match clauses sometimes have a way of getting sidetracked.
