given little or no chance at all
today at earning a medal in the
men’s 40-kilometer cross-coun
try relay or the men’s slalom,
tlie final two events of the
games.
Miss Holum came close to
winning her second gold medal
in Saturday’s speedskating

record time of four minutes,
52.14 seconds by Mrs. Bass to
beat tlie American star. Miss
Holum clocked 4:58.67 while

skated as well as I could and
I’m happy with the results.”

The boys’ tournament will be
played next week. The Bears
probably will not play until

Griffin's girls aren’t expected to
play until Tuesday of that week.
Gabriel
considered
retiring
RALEIGH, N. C. (UPI) —
Roman Gabriel, quarterback of
the Los Angeles Rams, thought
about retiring at the end of last
season and applied for the
coaching job at North Carolina
State University, the Raleigh
Times said Friday.
“If State had offered me the
job, I would have taken it,”
Gabriel was quoted as saying in
an interview with Sports Editor
Bruce Phillips.
The former N. C. State player
said “I thought of retiring at
the end of last season. I applied
for the head football coaching
job at North Carolina State...
(because)... my legs were still
bothering me at the time.”
He said he thought that in the
job “I’d have a chance to coach
at my old school and I could
go out (of pro football) on top.”
Gabriel said he was “disillus
ioned" and “upset” by State’s
response to his application.
“I was very serious about the
State job," he said. “I know I
could have been a winning
coach."
He said he received a tele
gram from Athletic Director
Willis Casey telling him the
school had hired Lou Holtz
from William and Mary and
that he would receive a letter
later.
“I never received a letter,”
he said.
“I’ve heard from other
sources that I was snubbed be
cause of my personal prob
lems, but the State people didn’t
take the time to explain why.”
Gabriel, who has decided to
remain in professional football,
told Phillips his bitterness at
the alleged snub has passed but
“I’ll always wonder why they
didn’t consider me.”

The Bunnies stopped the
Rebels, 37-25.

Patterson
wins decision
By GREG GALLO
UPI Sports Writer
NEW YORK (UPl)—Floyd
Patterson, a man obsessed with
dying an agonizing death,
gasped another breath of life
Friday night when he scored a
unanimous decision over Oscar
Bonavena at Madison Square
Garden.
Managers

Four new managers and a
coach have been named to the
Griffin Little League.
The new managers are Tom

for Elks.
The annual managers and
coaches meeting will be held

Hawks
lose 3rd
in row
CHICAGO (UPI) - The At
lanta Hawks lost their third
straight game Friday night but
it made little difference to the
National Basketball Associa
tion’s compassionate Central Di
vision.
Baltimore didn’t take advan
tage of Atlanta’s misfortune to
increase its Central Division
lead over the runnerup Hawks.
The Bullets also lost to keep
the margin at three and one
half games. Third-place Cincin
atti was idle and just moved a
nominal half - game nearer At
lanta.
Chet Walker and Bob Love
scored 41 points for the Chicago
Bulls in their 102-91 victory over
the Hawks, their third win of
the year without a loss over
Atlanta.
Walt Bellamy, with 18 points
paced the Hawks who never
came closer than 10 points in
the second half.
WIN STREAK SNAPPED
BRISBANE, Australia (UPI)
—The long winning streak for
swim star Shane Gould has
finally been snapped. Miss
Gould, who had been unbeaten
since last May, finished third
Friday in the Australian
championship 400-meter medley
event. Dale Neali was the
winner and Lori Watson fin
ished ahead of her as Miss
Gould was tired from a
freestyle race staged shortly
before the medley.
more than 33 seconds ahead of
Finland.
Wicki’s victory in the four
man bobsled event ended four
years of frustration for the 35-
year-<>ld garage owner. Al
though considered one of the
top bobsled competitors in the
world, Wicki had never before
won a major championship and
following his victory Saturday
he announced his retirement
from competitive racing.
Wicki teamed with brakeman
Edy Hubacher and riders Hans
and Werner Ca
michel to defeat Italy and West
Germany in the four-man
competition. The U.S. No. 2
sled finished 14th while the No.
1 sled was disqualified because
of an accident.
The former two-time heavy
weight champion rallied in the
final two rounds to defeat
Bonavena, the champion of
Argentina, but failed to prove
himself as a legitimate contend
er for Joe Frazier’s title. In
fact, Frazier, who was setting
at ringside, left the arena in the
ninth round, apparently unim
pressed with either fighter.
Patterson was not impressed
with his performance either.
“I'm not ready for Frazier
yet,” said Floyd as he left the
ring. “I’m happy I won, but
I’m not that happy the way I
won. I had no momentum. A
lack of interest. I couldn’t get
started."
Patterson, the youngest man
ever to win the heavyweight
crown and the only one to
regain it, is desperately trying
for another shot at the title. But
his victory over Bonavena can
lend little support to his cause.
Patterson, now 37, displayed
the same leaping left hand that
once left Ingomar Johansson
quivering on the canvas but it
lacked the zip and crispness
that could stop an opponent
dead in his tracks.
Bonavena took several of
Patterson’s left hooks and
never once looked hurt. “I no
feel any of his punches,” said
Bonavena, who fractured his
left hand during the fifth round
of the fight. “The only way I
feel punches is if Patterson,
Clay and Frazier hit me
together.”
“He didn’t beat me,” said
Bonavena, “I lost. I know when
he still standing at the final
bell, he win. The crowd, they
like him. Close fights I never
win.”
It was a close fight. Referee
Johnnie Lobianco scored it 5-4-
1, Judge Tony Castellano had it
64 while Judge Bill Reicht had
it 7-2-1 all for Patterson.
