Its only weak spot Young Bob Foster Knocks Out Tiger By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Bob Foster, whose backers guaranteed Dick Tiger $100,000 for a shot at the title, won the World Light Heavyweight crown Friday night by knocking out the 38- -old champ in 2:05 of the fourth round. Foster had been riding along behind a stinging left jab, peppering his squat opponent at ease until he loaded a left hook that flattened Tiger for the count. It was the first time in Tiger's 77-bout career that he had been stopped. He had been down only once previously in a bout with Emile Griffith. Referee Mark Conn counted out Tiger as he lay on his back; still dazed by the mighty left that the rangy Washington landed.

Foster, an 11. to 5 favorite, had the advantage of youth, height and reach over the old man who is anxious to return to his native Biafra which is engaged in a war of independence from Nigeria. Tiger is a lieutenant in the Biafran Army. It was several minutes before Tiger left the ring under his own power, to the cheers of the crowd in Madison Square Garden. A Washington wrestling pro- UCLA Star Nabbed On Marijuana Charge LOS ANGELES )-Lucius Allen, a star on UCLA's national championship basketball teams the past two seasons, faced a charge of possessing marijuana Friday.

A university spokesman said he had dropped out of school. Allen, 20, from Kansas City, Experimental Baseball Game Postponed UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. (AP) An experimental baseball game to test a rules change suggested by a Penn State professor was rained out Friday. A spokesman for the Nittany Lion baseball team said the scheduled intersquad game has been postponed indefinitely. Dr.

Ivan L. Preston, assistant professor of journalism, has proposed a rule revision which he said would' result in more runs, thus making the game more interesting. "When a baserunner is caught he must pay two penalties he's wiped off the base paths, and his team is charged with an out," Preston said. Under Preston's proposal, the offensive -manager would have the choice removing the runner with out being charged, not or taking the out, and returning the runner to the last base touched safely.

Bullington was 5-0 during the season. Meyersdale has been slowed by the injury to third baseman Brent Hoover. He was hit by a line drive in palm of the hand, but the swelling has gone down. Mike Shumaker, who pitched a five-hitter against Southern Fulton to put the Raiders in the finals, is looking good. He is the man who must stop the Bedford hitting Saturday.

If he should not be able to McLendon Holds Lead At Memphis MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -B. R. McLendon who took a golf lesson long distance telephone earlier this week, fired a three-under par 67 Friday and took a one-stroke second rounds -lead in the Memphis Open Golf Tournament. He had a.

36-hole total of 132. But Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus closed in on the leader with determined five-under-par 65s, leaving Palmer only two strokes off the pace at 134 and Nicklaus three strokes at 135. Palmer's 65 equals his best score of the year. Bob Lunn of Sacramento, who was tied with McLendon for the first round lead at 65, weathered four consecutive bunker and sand trap situations to shoot 68 8 Friday. He one-putted nine greens.

Tied with Lunn in second place at 133 were first year pro Larry Hinson of Douglas, and veteran Lou rah a of Nashville, Tenn. Both shot 66s.

31m Werner has had littler pitching experience this season, but with the injury to Hoover, he is the best remaining pitcher. Werner will depend on a curve ball since he has little speed. Coach Simeon Metrinko is worried about the Meyersdale hitting. "We had six men on bases up to the sixth against Southern Fulton but couldn't get them in," commented the coach. Meyersdale left ten men stranded the bases during the game.

"We need some clutch hitting," continued the mentor. "Haer. and, Hoover, have been failing in the clutch, but Larry Sechler has been doing the job." Haer went for and Hoover 0 for 3 against Southern Fulton. Sechler banged out three hits in four trips. Metrinko is also bothered by the, hitting of Jerry Bolden.

Bolden was a pinch hitter in the first half of the season and hit in the clutch, but when Metrinko moved him to 'left field, his hitting tailed off. The problem of both teams was getting in the practice. The weatherman. calls Saturday, and even the playing of the game is in doubt.

"We are definitely not counting on him to play for us next year," the spokesman said. Allen and four others, de scribed by police as UCLA students were arrested Thursday night. Police Sgt. John Colella said officers detected the odor of marijuana when they halted a car for speeding in a central Los Angeles alley. Booked with Allen were John Woolery Alla Bullen, Bonnie Goss and Melanie Martin, all in their early 20s.

Allen was released on $1,250. bond at noon Friday and ordered to appear in court at 11 a.m. Wednesday for arraignment. The arrest came a year to the day after Allen was arrested on another marijuana charge which subsequently was dropped after a closed hearing in Municipal Court. At the time, of this year's NCAA championship tournament, Allen had been reported in scholastic difficulties, but the Friday announcement was the first disclosure he had withdrawn from school.

moter, Vince McMahon, had for guaranteed Tiger $100,000 to get the for Foster. It probably cost him money. His 60 cent of the gate Tiger's 40 per cent and his own 20 per cent probably did not come to that figure. Foster was out in front on all to three official cards at the knockout. Referee Mark Conn and Judge Tony Castellano had it 3-0 and Judge Artie Aidala 2- 1, giving the first to Tiger.

The AP card was 3-0 for Foster. It was a strange looking fight between the Foster and the 5-foot-8 Tiger. Foster, 29, weighed Tiger 168. Shuffled around in the background while others got a chance to fight for the title, Foster once quit the ring for a year. He made good with a vengeance when he finally got, his shot.

The towering Foster, who looked more like a basketball player than a fighter, kept stinging Tiger with long left jabs. Tiger, who usually comes on late, was unable to get untracked. threw only a few flurries, trying to get inside to the body, but was unable to reach the big fellow, with any consistency. It was the ninth straight victory for Foster since he lost a decision heavyweight Zora Folley in 1965. His record for 34 pro starts now is 30-4.

This was his 24th knockout. Tiger now is 58- 16-3 for 77 bouts. Tiger was making the third defense of the crown he won from Jose Torres, Dec. 16, 1966. He previously the world middleweight title on two different occasions.

Foster had been beating a steady tattoo on Tiger's face with his jab for a minute and a half of the fourth, when Tiger: dug a right to the body twisted his foe around near the ropes. Shortly after they broke, Foster dropped in the left hand that ended his long quest for a championship. The bout was seen on a limited home television network but was blacked out in New York. It was the second boxing show in the new Garden where Joe Frazier won the New York version of the heavyweight title in March.
