Los Angeles Offers Most
For Liston-Clay Fracas
DENVER (jP — There is a strong
possibility that Sonny Liston will
defend his heavyweight title against
Cassius Clay next February in Los
Angeles.
Former heavyweight champion
Joe Louis — representing a Los
Angeles promotional outfit —
guaranteed the bout $1 million.
Jack Nilon — Liston’s adviser —
said the offer was the best he has
received. Nilon added that other
cities that have submitted bids to
stage the bout are Minneapolis, Las
Vegas, Miami, and Chicago.
A spokesman for Liston said it
is expected that the overall reve-!
nue for a Clay-Liston battle will
be six to eight million dollars,
with one-half to one million dol
lars coming at the gate. The closed
circuit telecast of the bout might
draw five to six million dollars:
motion pictures close to $250,000
and radio rights around $200,000.
Extra revenue is expected from
television tape flown to Europe for
showing 24 hours after the bout.
Clay will get 22 and one-half per
cent of the revenue while Liston
wil receive 40 per cent.
Clay predicted he would kayo
Liston in the eighth round. Liston
just smiled and made no forecasts.

Clogged and rusted barrels are the
cause of many hunting accidents.
Always be sure that the barrel and
action of your gun are clear of ob

Never climb a tree or fence with a

The Chicago Bears of the Na

isometric exercises during practice
to heighten muscle tone and in
crease strength, stamina and re

exercise is to use muscular force
against stationary objects that
won’t move. Apparently Chicago
fullback Rick Casares isn’t too en
chanted with the exercises. Says
Casares:
“I don’t think isometrics ever
will replace spinach.”
