However, hes not pointing for it this week. He just wants to beat Rick Carr. The USC senior, whose best is 4:03.6, is not the type of runner to set the fast pace needed for a sub-tour minute mile, according to Maggard. Carr is a kicker with good speed, so I think the last lap will be fairly quick, he says. But Cliff has more confidence in setting a good pace if he needs to, 60 if they come in at around three minutes for the first three quarters its a definite possibility.

Maggard says another good Cal -USC matchup should come in the 880, where sophomore Rick Brown (1:50.7 this season) will be opposed by Nate Bmks of Oakland, who has a career best of 1:51.5. In the 1970 state high school championships Brown came from behind to beat the for- mer Castlemont standout, so tome.

The Russians were a better team in technique and team work but they lacked the tremendous spirit that moved the-Czechs. Czechoslovakia got off to a 2-0 first-period lead before a packed house of 14,000 wildly cheering fans on breakaway goals by Vaclav Nedomansky and Richard Farda. Jaraslav Holik scored the decisive goal at 9:03 of the second sifter Russias Alexandre Maltsev tallied at 3:21.

The fans have paid to see Foreman and Paez, so I dont think it would be fair to bring in a substitute. I have a press conference set for Saturday, and I dont really anticipate the fight not taking place.

Winston said failure of Paez to show even at a late date like tomorrow or Sunday might bring down the wrath of tie World Boxing Council and other governing bodies on the Argentine fighter. -Weve been dealing with bun In good faith, and hes just tired of getting the runaround, I pess. Theres no intent on the kids part to avoid this boat. After all, he siped a contract tor it, so Ill just have to sweat it out. He added that Paez has been given a good parantee to meet the unbeaten and No.

What kills me, Winston lamented, is that ticket sales are hurting simply because some people woofer if the fight will be held.

Foreman, meanwhile, kept his cool by working out in Haywards Southland Slopping Center yesterday and is due in the New Oakland Boxing Club this afternoon at 4:30 to begin his tapering off workouts.
