Eureka. California TrTE TIMES-STANDARD Thursday, May 20, 1971 a 15 Buckskin Slarts Pro Career With a Bansr Outpoints Veteran Switch-hitting Roger Buckskin, unorthodox but etrectwe, hopped onto the professional boxing trail luseday night with a decisive win. The 18-year-old fcmilh River resident outpointed veteran Dick Barrett, 147, of Eugene, Ore. ''Roger knocked him through the ropes with a right hook in the third round," reported Trainer Dave Kibby, Sr. "But he bounced right back and then Roger discouraged him with three jolting punches to the stomach.

I think that did it." Kibby added that "Roger was nailed once to the chin, but Barrett's followup punch missed." Barrett was quoted as saying later that "I never thought that a young fellow like Roger would beat me." Roger advances the four-round to the six- round class on June 9th when his second pro battle takes him to Lake Tahoe. Meanwhile, he is a i out papers so that he can fight in California. Eyes Olympic Berth Eagles Athletic Club boxing officials had planned to send Buckskin against Johnny Olsen if Ihe Smith i fighter had delayed his pro debut. Now, however, Olsen will meet hard-punching Henry a i of Sacramento on the Saturday night card at the Eureka Municipal Auditorium. Roger's slablemalc, Dave Kibby, will delay any pro aspirations he may have to prepare himself for a possible berth on the U.S.

Olympic team. "We'll spend as much time this summer as we possibly can in the bay area where Dave can keep busy as a a i partner for some of the top boys," explained his a "He's dead serious about making Ihe Olympic team." Gators Plead Case Far Western Conference athletic directors will decide San Francisco Stale's baseball fate Friday afternoon. The Gators are appealing the forfeiture of seven FWC games because of an ineligible player. Bosley "Joe" Victory, the Gators' right fielder, was ruled ineligible for the 1971 season. He was caught by the A A five-year rule which states an athlete must complete four years of eligibility in five years.

Victory entered school in 1962 the sume year the rule was established- -and with a two year grace because of i i a duly hi.s eligibility was extended through 1969. If (he forfeitures stand, and there is every reason to believe lhal they will, the Gators will relinquish the championship and drop from the top rung (13-5) to sixth place (6-12). Thus Sacramento State and Cal Slale-Hayward would tie for the crown wilh 12-6 FWC records. Humboldt State and University of California at Davis would lie for third place wilh 10-8 marks.

(AP) The Dallas Cowboys have traded off a public relations prob'lcm, grabbed a needed clutch-receiving light end and bagged two flashy wide receivers to add leverage to their Bob Hayes ne- golialions in a lightning series of National Kootbal!

Wide receiver Lance on probation for i years for indecent exposure, was traded Wednesday to the Los Angeles a for tight end Billy Truax and wide receiver Wendell Tucker.

Jones and his Pratt Whitney turbine engine were crnly Ihe sixth-fastest qualifier at IGH.075. Mario Andrctti won the pole at 168.Q82 wilh a con- venlional engine but lost a wheel in the race. Jones ran away from the field in 4hc firsl lap and led A. J. Foyl Jr.

by Iwo miles when a bearing failed with 10 miles to so. i ii Granatelli, whose brother Andy heads the STP gasoline and oil -additive company, is still doing a slow burn over complaints that Jones was "sandbagging" in practice and qualifications for Ihe 1967 race. Sandbagging is deliberately turning one corner at relatively slow speed on each lap, varying the corner, in order to give dc- ceplively low average speeds to observers. An easier, more obvious way is to hold down straightaway speeds. "No driver is going to sandbag," Granatelli insisted, "getting ready for this race." Bob by Unser, chatting with the STP master mechanic during Thursday shower, agreed.

The USAC conv.iiittee since then has reduced the air fntake area allowed turbine engines on two occasions, i a laking them out of competition.
