Liston-Patterson Fight
Postponed to April 10 or 11
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. UH — After
three days of uncertainty, post
ponement of the Sonny Liston
Floyd Patterson fight until April
10 or 11 was officially announced
Tuesday by Championship Sports
Inc.
Jack Nilon, the champion’s ad
visor, asked for April 11. General
manager A1 Bolan of the promot
ing firm said, “we hope to talk
him into accepting April 10.’’ The
rematch originally was scheduled
for April 4 at Miami Beach Con
vention Hall.
The postponement was asked be
cause of a right knee injury suf
fered last Thursday by Liston. He
twisted the knee while swinging
a golf club for a photographer’s
posed shot.
The injury, Nilon said, will take
the champ out of training action
for about a week.
Nome Bowling News
By Tom Marlin, Board Chairman
The Nome Bowlers treasury was
enriched by some $259.02 by the
Scotch doubles bowling held by the
the Women’s Bowling Assn. The
refreshments served by the gals
netted $29.02 and was appreciated
by everyone patronizing the alleys.
The girls should be complimented
for their good work especially for
their clever signs and posters.
The new pins arrived and have
been placed in use. Dick Deems is
still adjusting the pinsetters and
will soon have everything in shape.
Mr. O’Connell from the Nome
School brought 20 school kids
down Monday night for bowling.
There may not have been any 300
games but everyone enjoyed see
ing them bowl. This younger gen
eration makes the bowlers of to
morrow and we are always glad
to see them in the alley. They are
given three games for a dollar
which includes the use of bowling
shoes.
The revenue for the alleys based
on the estimate made for the win
ter months is falling short by over
$3,000. There is no surplus cash
laid away to carry the alleys thru
the summer months. Unless there
is an increase in revenue over
the next 3 months the Nome Bowl
ers may face bankruptcy by Octo
ber when the leagues begin again.

Two Frozen Pre
Historic Tritons
LONDON W) — Russian scientists
say they have brought two pre
historic tritons — vertebrates re
sembling lizards — back to life.
They lay frozen solid for 5,000
years in Siberia, Moscow radio
said Tuesday.
The story of the tritons, the
broadcast said, suggests that space
travelers might be put in a sort of
deep freeze to make long journeys
without the encumberance of huge
amounts of supplies.
The broadcast gave this account:
“Some time ago Soviet geologists
found something resembling a liz
ard at a depth of about 25 feet in
the frozen ground of northern
Siberia.
“It revived after being kept at
room temperature for some time.
Scientists finally classified it as
a four-toed triton, one of the old
est and most primitive orders of
tailed amphibia that inhabited the
earth in the Mesozoic Era (the
dinosaur age).
“Judging by the state of the
earth in which it was found, biol
ogists concluded that the triton
had been asleep for about 5,000
years.
“On awakening the creature be
haved exactly as it had thousands
of years ago. It ran around, ate
and slept. It was not afraid of
people, willingly eating wild ber
ries, flies and mosquitoes out of
their hands.
“It died after three weeks.
“Another triton was found fro
zen about 13 feet underground.
This one also revived and lived
practically all summer.”
In New York, Dr. Charles Bo
gert, head of the Dept, of Her
petology at the Museum of Natural
History, said it might not be im
possible for tritons to survive tha
long, but he would be inclined tc
doubt it.
Tests so far, he said, have gen
erally indicated salamanders, the
modern term for tritons, car
tolerate temperatures only a few
degrees below freezing.
Dr. Bogert said there also were
too many difficulties in making
certain the Russian salamanders
actually were frozen for as long
as 5,000 years.
Dr. Francis Ryan, chairman of
the Dept, of Zoology at Columbia
University, said it was one-in-a
million chance that the salaman
ders had been frozen 5,000 years.
“I suggest they got there re
cently,” he said when informed
of the Russian claim.
All our clothing used to come
from plants and animals. Now 11
of the 34 pounds of textile material
each of us uses each year comes
* from laboratory-made materials.
