DAILY TIMB-N1WS DECEMBER 23, 1964 Final Goal FINAL GOAL Don't Pass On Colts--McPeak Redskins' Coach Gives Tip To Browns WBA Hopes To Have Champ Soon NEW YORK (AP) There may be another heavyweight champion crowned by the time Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston meet in their once-postponed, return title fight in June at Boston. 'The exact date hasn't been set yet but it will be in June," said Angelo Dundee, trainer manager of Clay. "Cassius is feeling fine and rarin' to go." There had been a Boston report that the Clay-Liston fight would be held on April 19 but Dundee said Tuesday "that too soon." The return fight had been scheduled for Nov. 16 but was postponed on Nov. 13 when Clay had to have an emergency hernia operation.

The World Boxing Association, which stripped Clay of rec ognition because be signed for the return fight with Liston, hopes to have a new champion well before June. It has decreed that the winner of the Ernie Terrell-Eddie Machen bout will be the WBA's champion. The WBA also said the winner must fight the victor of the 12-round bout between former champion Floyd Patterson of New York and George Chuvalo of Toronto at New York's Madison Square Garden. The WBA rates them in this order: Terrell, Patterson, Chu- valo and Machen. By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer Washington's Bill McPeak, one of the NFL coaches who met both Baltimore and Cleveland in the regular season, thinks the Browns will run at the Colts Sunday and make things interesting in the title game.

"Cleveland's Jim Brown keeps them in the ball game," said McPeak in Washington. "He really can do the job. I think you have to run at Baltimore, but you need two to do that. Ernie Green is a vastly underrated back, very interesting." It could be four. giving them all they could handle.

But when they finally broke loose we haven't seen an avalanche like that all year." McPeak said Baltimore red "They turn them loose and often drop the linebackers and play zone, like Cleveland. It's tough to pass against them except for screen and what we call delay flares." Cleveland beat Washington twice, 27-13 and 34-24, during the National Football League season. Baltimore thumped the Redskins 45-17 in the final game. "We played Cleveland twice when we were at full strength," said McPeak. "In the first game we outplayed them except for fumbles.

In the second game we played our poorest defensive game of the year. Sonny However, McPeak also sees Jurgensen got hot in the second perils for the Browns if they try half and passed for something to pass against the Colts' front like 240 yards. "Against Baltimore we were minus two regular likes to turn loose ary man Lonnie Sanders and that front four," said McPeak. Jim Steffen. Then we lost Charley Taulor in the third quarter.

Browns Reivard Collier Coach Given New Three-Year Pact For Good Record CLEVELAND (Kl--Blanton Collier, the soft-spoken Kentucky gentleman in his second year as Cleveland Browns' coach, has been signed to a new three-year contract, Art Modell, club president, announced today. The salary was not disclosed. Collier leads the Browns into Municipal Stadium Sunday for the National Football League championship against the Baltimore Colts. "I am delighted with the masterful job Blanton has done for us since taking over as head coach two years ago," Modell said. "His record of 20 wins, seven losses and one tie in the toughest football league in the world is better than that of any of his contemporaries in the past two seasons." Collier, 58, was signed to a three-year contract early in 1963 when Modell fired Paul Brown as head coach.

The Browns' 7-61 record in 1962 was the second worst in the club's history, including four years (1946-1949) in the old All-American Conference. The new contract will run through 1967. "I am most grateful for Art Modell's confidence in me and my staff," said Collier. "I sincerely hope that we can justify his confidence in us, because he is deserving of the very best. "Frankly, my thoughts have been more upon the championship game than upon what was going to happen to me."

He replaces Sammy baugh, head coach until he decided last week the job took up too much of his ranching time. Baugh will stay on as back, field coach and former Oiler head coach Lou Rymkus is expected to be named as an assistant.

The Oilers thus would set a record for former head coaches on one staff, since Rymkus was the first head coach of the American Football League team in 1960, until he was fired. Taylor is the fifth Oiler head coach since 1960. Taylor, a native of Wynne, was Baugh's favorite receiver in eight years with the Washington Redskins. The former end was called as an assistant when Baugh took over the New York Titans and again when he took over the Oilers last summer. Baugh said behind-the-desk duties of the head coaching position kept him away from his West Texas ranch top much and were the cause of his giving up a contract which had a year to him, glance smile.

Then they'd grab his hand and tell him how great he was at the card and the souvenir "to sign Jeney Rebles Little Angels Paragon!

At first Timberlake was puzzled because he hadn't been around the Madison Avenue crowd long enough, but within five minutes he had enough and headed for the closest empty corner. "There is a great deal of loneliness in being an All-America," he said. "I talked to my girl about it. This is strictly a one-year proposition. If I ever become famous enough, I'm going to write an autobiography and call it The Loneliness of an 'I get sick of it," he con- intued with a quick glance at the packed ballroom.

"They all want to shake your hand, but they don't really know you. All they do is stick out the glad hand.

He alternated at halfback and quarterback during his sophomore and junior years. This season, at quarterback only, he gained 574 yards rushing. Passing, he was 63 for 127 for 807 and four touchdowns.

He also is considered a good blocker and has good speed as well as size (6-4, 210). It all adds up to a valuable boy and Bob Timberlake knows how much people want him.

All they have to do to win in the National Basketball Association is to hit on 50 per cent of their shots and display scoring balance.

Tne game between the tailend teams of the Eastern and Western divisions was the only one scheduled. It drew a crowd of 2,654 at the Sacramento High School Pavillion.
