RUPTUHOD? WE FIT, NON-SKID excelsior "faction Guaranteed QWBMcfn Basilio Is Favored 9-5 In Title Go By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) Fearless Fraley's facts and figures: Carmen Basilio is an opening 9 to 5 favorite to defend his middleweight title against Sugar Ray Robinson in their rematch at Chicago Stadium March 25, but the fight experts contend that Robinson will be the choice at ring time. The reasoning is that Basilio will be more confident this time plus the fact that each passing month takes so much more out of those 37-year-old Robinson legs.

But Sugar Ray is only three pounds over the 160-pound middleweight limit as he goes into training and his new-found sharpness is expected to sway the price. Bill Talbert. America's Davis Davis Cup captain, is highly optimistic over the chances of regaining the big silver mug the next time and believes that the United States could have won it this time if Dick Savitt, Budge Patty and Ham Richardson had been on the team.

(UP) It takes all kinds of people to make a world and the same holds true lor the golf tour. For instance: Ken Venturi, is a 26 year old athlete dedicated to the game, who loves to practice and spends hours every day on the practice tee.

Jolly Jimmy Demaret is 45, a grandpa who never goes near the practice tee and who seldom even plays a game these days. So Venturi and Demaret. two of the finest tee-shot performers in the business, are tied for the lead as the $15,000 Thunderbird Invitation golf tournament goes into the third round today. Venturi, a San Franciscan in his first year as a pro. had a torrid eight-under-par 63 Friday to come up with a 133 total for 36 holes.

Demaret, defending champion and three-time winner of this tourney, has played exactly one round of golf in two months. He fired a very fine 65 Friday for the same total. The two have a two-stroke lead over the field with first-round leader Dave Marr, Rum son, N.J., and up-and-coming Paul Harney, Worcester, each with a 135 score. T've been sick and besides that 1 haven't had time to practice, said Demaret, who now is interested in a housing development. But Venturi, wno has his eyes set on golfing greatness that will resemble his mentor and idol, Byron Nelson, is the man who proves that "practice makes perfect." "He's headed toward greatness." says Nelson.
