NEWTON, IA. — Former world heavyweight champ Rocky Marciano, was killed
m a plane crash near here. He entered professional boxing in 1947; captured the
title from Jersey Joe Walcott in their memorable bout at Philadelphia; and fought
his last professional bout against Archie Moore in New York. He retired unde
feated — the first and only heavyweight boxer to do so—April 27, 1956 Rockv
was elected to boxing’s Hall of Fame in 1959. Typical of the bruising battles he
waged are these ninth-round action scenes from his fight with Moore. At top
Rocky delivers punishing blow to the body; a hard right (center) snaps Moore’s
head back; and (bottom), another challenger is counted out.

Make the
Great Escape.
Switch to a
flameless electric heat pump
If your home is uncomfortable even one day out of the
year, you have the wrong heating and cooling system.
If you spend five minutes in 10 years adjusting a thermo
stat, you have the wrong heating and cooling system.
The right system is an electric heat pump. In cold
weather, the heat pump keeps you warm. Anywhere in
your house. And the heat pump cools and dries the air
inside when it’s hot and sticky outside.
When you first get a heat pump, you set the thermostat
at the temperature you want. When the seasons change,
the heat pump automatically switches from heating to
cooling to maintain that temperature. You don’t have to
i touch anything. Or call anyone.
Make the Great Escape. Make this the year you switch
to an electric heat pump.

The Oakland Athletics have
joined the ranks of prime
candidates who fizzled out in
Washington.
The Athletics, campaigning
hard for first place in the
American League’s Western
Division, had their program
stalled over the weekend by the
Washington Senators and are
entering the final month of the
season in a rather awkward
position.
The Senators, who had beaten
the A’s only twice in their first
10 games, won the final two
games of their season’s series,
including an 8-3 triumph
Sunday, and have pushed the
Athletics 4’/2 games behind the
Minnesota Twins in the Western
Division pennant race.
The Athletics sorely needed
Sunday’s game, but the Sena
tors destroyed Oakland’s hopes
with a four-homer barrage and
some fine pitching by Casey
Cox. Frank Howard smashed
his 42nd homer and Ken
McMullen, Bernie Allen and
Mike Epstein also connected for
the Senators, who scored five
runs in the seventh inning to
defeat Jim Hunter
The nuueucs' loss was
doubly damaging when the
Twins defeated the Boston Red
Sox, 6-2, with the aid of a three
run homer by Ted Uhlaender
and a solo shot by Harmon
Killebrew. im Perry worked 7
1-3 innings for the Twins and
received credit for his 17th
victory in 22 decisions.
In other American League
action, Detroit stretched its
winning streak to six games by
whipping Seattle, 7-2, Baltimore
edged California, 5-4, New York
defeated Kansas City, 5-3, and
Chicago rallied in the ninth
inning to whip Cleveland, 7-6.
Chicago beat Atlanta, 8-4,
Cincinnati edged St. Louis, 7-5,
Pittsburgh beat Houston, 6-4,
Los Angeles topped Philadel
phia, 4-1, Montreal lost to San
Diego, 5-2, then took the
nightcap, 6-1, and New York
blanked San Francisco, 8-0,
before bowing, 3-2, in 11 innings
in National League games.
Willie Horton drove in four
runs with his 20th and 21st
homers as the Tigers handed
the Pilots their 15th loss in
their last 16 games. Don Wert
also homered for Detroit as
Earl Wilson went the distance
to record his 12th victory in 20
decisions.
The Orioles, howevei, main
tained their 12%-game lead
over Detroit in the Eastern
Division by edging the Angels

S. Habersham
Coach Drowns
In Boat Mishap
LAKE RABUN, Ga. (UPI) —
South Habersham high school
football coach Gene Alexander
toppled out of his motorboat, as
he swerved to avoid another
boat, and drowned late Satur
day.
Alexander, 47, hit his head on
the boat’s windshield as he
fell, reported the Rabun County
coroner who ruled the death ac
cidental.
Alexander played guard on
the 1943-46 University of Geor
gia football teams coached by
Wally Butts. It was the era of
Charlie Trippi. And Alexander
opened many a hole for the
great runner as the Bulldogs
chalked up a three year slate
of 25-5-0.
After college, Alexander
coached for 22 years, the last
15 at South Habersham, and
compiled a 146-55-11 slate. His
South Habersham team went to
the state championship semi-fi
nals last year.
Alexander is survived by his
wife Virginia, and two children
Paul, 13, and Mindy, 11.

Miami Defeated
Colts Didn’t Forget
Orange Bowl Defeat
By WILLIAM VERIGAN
UPI Sports Writer
The Orange Bowl had to be
filled with memories—all un
pleasant—for the Baltimore
Colts. At least next time they
come to Miami for a visit, they
will have something good to
remember.
The palm trees waving eerily
in the end zone and the
diagrams scribbled on the
backboard at halftime, scenes
from the past to haunt the
Colts and remind them of their
16-7 defeat by the New York
Jets only eight months ago.
But this time it was different.
This time Johnny Unitas, “the
master” who arrived too late to
pull out the game against the
Jets with his sore elbow, was in
control from the start as the
Colts defeated the Miami
Dolphins, 23-10, Saturday night
for their fifth consecutive pre
season victory.
It was the first start of the
season for Unitas, and it
seemed to spell the end of Earl
Morrall’s fling with fame,
which was brief and impressive
last year as he led the Colts to
the National Football League
championship and was named
the league’s player of the year.
Unitas showed no sign of last
year’s Injury as he tossed an
eight-yard pass to Jimmy Orr
for a touchdown and set up
another with completions of 31,
14 and 23 yards.

Steve Melnyk
Wins Amateur
OAKMONT, Pa. (UPI)—
Vinny Giles, three straight
times a runnerup in the U.
S. Amateur golf championship,
perhaps said it best after Steve
Melnyk won the 1969 title.
“He was destined to win,”
observed Giles, who played the
final round with the champion
and watched him burn up the
front nine at Oakmont Country
Club with a 4-under-par 32.
Melnyk scored three birdies
and an eagle in that stretch,
and it was all over early. The
240-pound Universi’y of Florida
senior coasted home on rounds
of 70-73-73-70—286, a five-stroke
edge on Giles, 26, a recent law
school graduate from Lynch
burg, Va.
Joe Namath, who guided the
Jets over the Colts in the Super
e Bowl, also seemed to round into
i- midseason form by completing
e 13 of 24 passes for 219 yards
y and two touchdowns as New
y York defeated the Minnesota
o Vikings, 24-21.
“They might be the best
y team in the NFL,” said
a Namath, who turned scrambler
e trying to elude the headlong
s rushes of Minnesota’s front
a four, especially Carl Eller,
r Picking the Jets in pre-season
c games has become one of the
thorniest problems for the
■ oddsmakers because they never
5 know how long Namath will
> play. However, when he came
5 out after three quarters, his
1 substitute, rookie Al Woodall,
- led the team to five first downs
i in a 67-yard drive in the last
t nine minutes to endure the
• Jets, seven-point underdogs, the
victory.
! The NFL and AFL broke
t even with four victories apiece,
1 but the NFL still leads this
> year’s interleague games, 17-11.
’ The Dallas Cowboys defeated
’ the Houston Oilers, 14-11, the
’ Chicago Bears whipped Buffalo,
1 23-16 and the Los Angeles Rams
beat San Diego, 24-14, for NFL
' victories. The AFL accounted
1 for triumps with Kansas City
trouncing St. Louis, 31-21,
1 Oakland beating San Francisco,
42-28, and Cincinnati defeating
Pittsburgh, 23-13.
Holtzman, Teammates
Whip Braves, 8-4
By RABUN MATTHEWS
ATLANTA (UPl)—Ken Holtz
man admits he was “lucky”
two weeks ago when he baffled
the Atlanta Braves on a no
hitter.
“I had a lot better stuff to
day,” he said Sunday after his
Chicago Cub teammates whipped
Atlanta 8-4 for their fourth con
secutive win and Atlanta’s third
loss in succession.
Holtzman failed to finish, but
three relievers snuffed out an
eighth inning Braves rally and
nailed down the young lefty’s
16th win of the season against
eight losses.
In NFL games, Philadelphia
beat New York, 24-17, New
Orleans beat Atlanta, 21-17,
Green Bay defeated Cleveland,
27-17, and Detroit edged Wash
ington, 21-20.

In addition, Holtzman slam
med his first major league
homer—a two-run shot in the
sixth inning that chased Phil
Niekro, now 18-12. He also sing
led in the eighth to drive in the
final run of the game for the
eastern division leaders.
Homer was Best
“That (home run) was my
biggest thrill,” grinned the 23-
year-old southpaw. “The no-hit
ter was a thrill, sure. But this
was really something.”
His only previous home run
came “in spring training in a
B game at 8 o’clock in the
morning and ncbody saw that.”
More than 34,000 fans were in
Atlanta Stadium to watch Holtz
man’s hit, a shot that barely
eluded a leaping Rico Carty.
Atlanta jumped in front 1-0 in
the fourth inning when Orlando
Cepeda doubled with one out.
Cleve Boyer walked to the plate
and a buxom, miniskirted
brunette raced out of the box
seats and grabbed the third
baseman, who stood grinning as
the unidentified woman shower
ed him with kisses before being
escorted from the field.
Inspired by Kiss
Apparently inspired, Boyer'
lined a single to right to score
Cepeda and put the Braves in
front for the only time in the
series.
In the fifth, Billy Williams fol
lowed three consecutive singles
with his 15th homer, a three run
blast that put the Cubs up 4-2,
and Holtzman’s homer came in
the following inning.
With Atlanta trailing 8-2, Car
ty belted his 11th homer of the
year into the Centerfield seats
with one out. When Cepeda and
Boyer followed with singles,
Holtzman gave way to Ted Ab
ernathy who allowed a single by
Bob Aspromonte that brought in
the final Atlanta run.
