Sammy An eott, new lightweight champion of the world, said Saturday he was "ready and willing to meet any lightweight or welterweight in an over the weight match" but that he had no intention of risking his newly acquired title for at least six months. Fresh from his lopsided triumph over Texas Lew Jenkins, former ruler of the lightweights, in a 15 round fiasco in Madison Square Garden Friday night, Angott said he was only interested now in getting to his Washington, home where his two little daughters are sick.

His manager, Charley Jones, said that while the impressive victory of Allie Stolz, young staBle mate of Jenkins, over Petey Scalzo in the eight round semifinal made him a logical contender along with Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia for a title match, he didn't believe his fighter would gain much by risking his crown so soon. Can't Face Him. 'What we'd like to arrange," Jones said, "is a few over the weight matches. Ray Robinson, Freddie Cochrane or Fritzie Zivic are some of the guys we'd like to get. Anyone of them with Angott would make for a good fight." Promoter Mike Jacobs, who holds a three year exclusive contract on Angott's services, made no comment on plans for a lightweight title fight other than to say, "wen, ra like to see Angott fight for the title soon, but 1 can't force him.

The regulations give him six months grace and that's that." The Angott Jenklns affair pro vided the lightweight division with its first clear titleholder in years. Jenkins to Rest.

A. rush trins Florida Bruin gridders upset (Jalors JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (IT). The Bruins from the University of California at Los Angeles outlasted the Florida Gators, 30 27, Saturday in a thrill packed inter sectional grid thriller before a scant crowd of 8,000. The Gators started off like a brush fire to build up a 20 6 lead and the fans resigned themselves to a walkaway.

Then the Bruins came out of their hibernation and pushed over 24 points before Florida could recover. The Bruins had plenty of stars. Halfback Leo Cantor sparked the drives for the tying and winning scores with speedy, powerful line smashes and flashy end runs. Field Goal Wins. Fullback Ken Snelling's accurate kicking accounted for three extra points after touchdowns and the fourth quarter field goal that proved to be the margin of victory.

Florida drew first blood early in the game as Halfback Tommy Harrison passed to End Forest Ferguson for 28 yards and a touchdown. Paul Eller, Florida's placekick specialist, booted the extra point. The Bruins retaliated quickly They recovered a fumbled Florida lateral on the 5 vard striDe and Fullback George Phillips bucked across for the touchdown on the second attempt Snelling's conver sion attempt failed.

The Brums came ngnt oacK xor their second touchdown as Al So lari brought the kickoff out to his own 45, Bob Waterfield passed to End Milt Smith and Smith lat eralled to Guard Jerry Grubb who minutes the game in yie last four minutes. with seven minutes to go tne Huskers had squared the count at all on Sid Held's lone field goal the skirmish and then went ahead when Johnny Hay dunked in close shot. Hartmann Goetze gave the home fans hope with a setup after Lee had hit from the foul circle for the Uclans but with slightly over four minutes to go Ernie Handelsman connected and Lee, a towering sophomore, put his mates front, 35 34, never to be headed. Nebraska's only tally in the waning moments of the melee was gift toss by Johnny Thompson.

Coach Lewandowski used 11 men a vain effort to stem the tide but his Huskers weren't clicking. In fact if it hadn't been for their accuracy from the free throw line, the Scarlet would have been badly beaten. In the opening half the Husk ers hit eight straight gift shots before Livingston broke the spell near the end of the period. Nebraska registered only four field ers in the initial half against nine for the Calif ornians. vet the Uclans sported only an 18 16 ad vantage at the Intermission.

Lee was high point man with 14 tallies while Handelsman flipped 11 points for second honors Sid Held's 7 points were hieh for tne JriusKers. Huskers Disorganized. Nebraska appeared disorganized at the start when the Uclans got off to a 6 0 lead by using a fast break. The Huskers came within 1 point of tying the count when Al Artman hit a pair of buckets late in the half to make it 13 14, but never went ahead in the period. There were two and one half minutes gone in the final chapter before Sophomore Bob Heinzel man finally hit to put his mates on top with a 22 21 advantage.

The tempo quickened for the next ten minutes and the lead changed three times before the Huskers could get more than points in front. Then the Uclan subs took over and their efforts spelled "finis' for the Scarlet About the only bright spot on the Husker score sheet was the fact that nine out of 11 of Lew's men contributed to the scoring, Livingston's free toss ending the whole thing, came just as tne eun terminated the tussle U.
