Rocky Marciano successfully defends World Title in epic battle


Rocky Marciano successfully defended his heavyweight 8tle in a brutal ght against Ezzerd Charles in front of a crowd of 47,585 at the Yankee Stadium, New York. 29 year old Marciano claimed the 8tle in 1952 when he defeated Jersey Joe Walcoh and this was his third defence of the 8tle amer also seeing o the challenge of Roland La Starza. When the announcer introduced the combatants with Marciano weighing in at 187 12 ponds and Cincinna8 ghter Charles at 185 12, there was no doub8ng who the crowd were suppor8ng as Marcianos name was greeted with a huge roar. Charles, the lean Cincinna8 cobra was making his second ahempt to become the rst ex-champion to regain the heavyweight 8tle and came as close as anybody by taking Marciano the distance for the rst 8me in his career in a brutal and exci8ng ght. The early rounds looked like a shock might well be on the cards as Charles had the upper hand and was boxing beau8fully and had landed a vicious blow which had opened up a gash above the champions lem eye which later required ten s8tches. This only seemed to s8r Marciano into ac8on and the squat, muscular champ almost put an end to the ght in the sixth round when the bell came to the dazed challengers rescue. In the tenth round Marcianos unleashed his famous devasta8ng Suzie Q and almost felled the challenger. Charles held on to take the ght into the meenth round where hands down and swollen faced he took a severe pummeling from Marciano. It had been a brutal and compelling bahle which the judges correctly awarded to Marciano in a unanimous decision. Referee Ruby Goldstein awarded it to Marciano 8-5-2, Judge Harold Barnes 8-6-1 and Judge Arthur Aidala 9-5-1. The gracious champion paid tribute to the only boxer to take him the full distance and admihed it was quite possibly the toughest ght of his career and told reporters He gave me a hell of a ght. He deserves a return ght if he wants it. Marciano not only lem with the 8tle s8ll his but his purse came to $275,961 with Charles collec8ng $137,980 and the oer of a return ght.

Brilliant Brazil
World Cup
Winners in Chile
Brazil successfully defended the trophy they won in 1952 by bea8ng Czechoslovakia by 3 goals to 1 in the nal held in the Estadio Nacional, San8ago in Chile in front of 68,679 spectators. The champions had to overcome the loss of their talismanic number 10, the outrageously gimed Pele early in the tournament but the performances of Garrincha in par8cular his amazing dribbling skills ensured Brazil held onto their 8tle in a World Cup that will sadly be remembered for the disgraceful behaviour in the match between the hosts Chile and Italy. Brazil were worthy winners as they were the best team throughout the tournament. Host na8on Chile had to sehle for third place amer bea8ng Yugoslavia in the play o. Having knocked out England at the Quarter Final stage Brazil had to overcome hosts Chile in front of 76,594 at the Na8onal Stadium and Garrincha scored twice as well as seqng up one of Vavas two in a 4-2 victory. However his involvement in the nal was put in doubt when he was sent o for a retaliatory push having been sworn at, spat upon and pushed as well as fouled countless 8mes, thankfully FIFA saw sense and allowed Lihle Bird to play. Brazil found themselves behind when Masopust gave the Czechs the lead amer quarter of an hour which lasted barely two minutes when Amarildo scored a stunning equaliser. Amarildo then turned provider when his turn and cross set up Zito to head the South Americans into a 2-1

lead amer 69 minutes. Nine minutes later Schroif in the Czech goal spilled a specula8ve lob by Djalma Santos and Vava put the loose ball away to seal victory and join Garrincha, Chiles Sanchez, Hungarys Florian Albert, Soviet Unions Valen8n Ivanov and Yugoslavias Drazen Jerkovic with four goals each at the top of the scoring table and with a claim to the Golden Shoe award.

NICKLAUS DEFEATS LOCAL HERO PALMER IN THRILLING U.S.OPEN


Jack Nicklaus caused a major upset when he defeated Arnold Palmer in a playo at Oakmont Country Club in Western Pennsylvania. Nicklaus and Palmer had 8ed at 283 amer four rounds and the Ohio born youngster not only had to beat the best golfer of this genera8on but had to contend with the vociferous gallery that were in no doubt about where their allegiances lie, with Latrobe born local hero Palmer. Palmer and Nicklaus were paired together for the rst two rounds and amer day one Palmer was two shots o the leader Gene Lihler with Nicklaus a further shot behind. The following day, Palmer shot 68 to share the second-round lead with Bob Rosburg. Nicklaus, shot 70. With the nal two days being played on the Saturday, the two were no longer paired together and going into the nal round Palmer shared the lead with Bobby Nichols with Nicklaus having made up a shot on the leaders. The 10,000 crowd that turned up on the Sunday were in doubt about who they wanted to win and Nicklaus was taunted and urged to miss it when puqng but he was playing the beher golf and held a lead of four amer a birdie at the sixth which Palmer bogeyed. Palmer managed to get within one shot of his young challenger amer birdies on eleven and twelve but then bogeyed the thirteenth. Nicklaus held a two shot lead amer seventeen holes and then drove into a nasty lie in the rough on the nal hole but with Palmer then

missing with his approach shot was able to play conserva8vely and ended with a bogey for a 71 whilst Palmer double bogied for a 74 and a new name was to be added to the list of US Open champions. Nicklaus who was unaware of the taunts and heckles from the huge Arnie Army became the youngest winner since

Bobby Jones in1923 and became the rst golfer since Jones to hold the Open and the U.S. Amateur championship at the same 8me. His prize money is $17,500. Over the last four days a major new golng talent has emerged and tribute was paid to him by his beaten opponent, "Now that the big guy is out of the cage," Palmer said, everybody beher run for cover.

1948
Donald Bradman
became the rst player to complete a thousand runs for the season and completed yet another century (his mh of the summer) at Noqngham on his farewell tour. Australia secured victory in the rst Test match to lead the ve match series. The touring side, who have been playing in front of huge crowds keen to see Bradman in ac8on for a nal 8me, came into the rst Test in ne form having won ten and drawn two of their tour matches with only Yorkshire causing them any great concern. England won the toss and Yardley elected to bat which he was no doubt regreqng when amer an early loss of play to rain, England collapsed to 74 for the loss of 8 wickets and were in danger of being out for the lowest score in a Test at Noqngham, 112 by England in 1921. The Surrey all rounders Laker and Bedser shared in a stand of 89 to give the score some respectability, England making 165 in their rst innings, leaving the Australians to see out the few remaining minutes of the rst day in their reply. On the second day Barnes and Morris got Australia o to a solid start with an opening stand of 73 before Laker bowled Morris which saw Bradman arrive to the crease to tumultuous applause from the packed stands keen to

Bradman century as Australia win rst Test


acknowledge the greatest batsman the game has ever seen. Bradman struggled early on in par8cular against Bedser and almost fell to Laker when he edged just wide of slip and was s8ll there at lunch, at the start of the amernoon session Laker picked up two quick wickets to leave the tourists on 121 for 3 and England sensed an opportunity to get on top in the match. Bradman had other ideas and took command and although scoring was slow with Yardley seqng a defensive eld, Australia only lost one more wicket when the captain trapped Brown LBW for 17 to bring Hasseh to the crease to join his captain. Bradman completed his century to the delight of the packed crowd just before six oclock when many spectators chose to leave early having witnessed what they hoped to see, another century from the legendary batsman. The pair were s8ll at the crease at stumps at the close of play on the second day with a lead of 128 runs with 6 wickets remaining. Saturday morning saw Bradman pass 1,000 runs for the season before Huhon elding at short

ne-leg held a catch oered by Bradman from Bedsers late in-swinger. Bradman had bahed for almost ve hours and lem the eld to a standing ova8on from an apprecia8ve crowd. Johnson and Tallon fell in quick succession but Hasseh was baqng well and found an able partner in the injured Lindwall who had pulled a groin muscle whilst bowling. The pair put on 107 for the eighth wicket before Bedser knocked back Hassehs o stump and claimed his 50th wicket in Test cricket. Australia then took a commanding lead of 344 into the second innings with Laker and Bedser the pick of the England bowling. England got o to the worst possible start,

losing two early wickets but Huhon and Compton entertained the crowd with some deligh{ul stroke play with Huhon reaching his 50 with two successive fours o Miller which produced 14 runs in the over which obviously riled the bowler as he bowled ve bouncers to Huhon in his nal eight balls, one of which delivered a painful blow to the Yorkshire man high on his lem arm much to the noisy displeasure of the crowd. Heading into the rest day England were s8ll 223 runs behind Australia on 121 for the loss of 2 wickets but the crowd had been well entertained by the two Englishmen at the crease. (cont.)

1948
Before the resump8on of play on the fourth day an appeal was made to the crowd by Mr. H.A. Brown the Noqnghamshire Secretary to cease the barracking of Miller who had certainly s8rred up some hos8le feelings following his treatment of Huhon on day three. The two batsmen con8nued their ne form but were halted when a thunderstorm caused a break in play and on the resump8on in fading light Miller bowled Huhon for an excellent 74. Amer further stoppages for bad light England resumed in appalling condi8ons, rarely can a Test match have been played in such poor condi8ons and it was to the credit of the masterly Compton with ne support from Hardsta that England con8nued to frustrate the Australian bowlers. Going into the nal day Compton, having bahed superbly throughout his innings was s8ll at the crease on 154 with England leading by only 1 run with four wickets remaining. If England were to get anything out of the game they needed Compton to bat long into the nal day and he found another excellent partner in Evans and amer two short breaks for rain the pair held out un8l just before lunch when Compton lost his wicket in the most unfortunate way. Miller bowled a vicious bouncer which reared shoulder-high and as Compton shaped to hook he changed his mind and in the process of ducking his head out of the way lost his balance on the wet surface and fell into His wicket. Having bahed superbly for almost seven hours and scoring his highest score in Test cricket against Australia it was a most unlucky ending to such a high class innings and Australia sensed victory. Evans completed an entertaining half century which included eight boundaries and England were bowled out for 441, leaving the tourists requiring 97 for victory. Miller and Johnson took four wickets each having done the majority of the bowling in the absence of Lindwall who was unable to bowl in the second innings due to the injury he sustained in the rst innings. Barnes and Morris put on 38 runs for the rst wicket to bring Bradman to the crease but he was caught by Huhon o the bowling of Bedser in a carbon copy of his rst innings dismissal for his rst ever duck in a Test in England which lem Barnes and Hasseh to quickly score the required runs for victory. The match ended somewhat humorously when Barnes hit a boundary thinking he had hit the winning runs and snatched a stump before racing towards the pavilion and was halfway up the steps when the shouts of the crowd alerted him to the fact the scores were level! It was Hasseh who hit the winning runs and during another scramble for a souvenir wicket Barnes was lem empty handed as Australia won the rst Test match by 8 wickets.

West Germany 3 v 2 England - World Cup Quarter Final
The ball perfectly to Peters to nish at the far post. The Germans began to exert some pressure which nally told when a shot from Beckenbauer went under the keepers dive amer 69 minutes At this stage Ramsey replaced the 8ring Charlton with Bell which seemed to galvanise their opponents. Hirst narrowly missed puqng his side 3-1 up with a brave header and Boneq made a great save from Muller before Uwe Seeler equalised with a looping back header with Boneq stranded o his line in the 76th minute. The game played in the Mexico sunshine went into extra 8me and an absorbing encounter was sehled in the 108th minute when the prolic Gerd Muller was lem unmarked to volley home amer Hannes Lhr headed a deep cross back into the six yard box.

West Germany gained revenge for their defeat to England in the 1966 nal by coming from two goals behind to knock the holders out in one of the greatest games in the history of the tournament. England were dealt a blow on the day of the match when Gordon Banks was ruled out of the game with an upset stomach which meant a call up for Chelsea keeper Peter Boneq. England started the game well and took the lead amer 32 minutes following a great move which saw Newton playing a tremendous ball

in from the right to Mullery who had 8med his run to perfec8on to slot past the keeper. The lead was doubled amer 50 minutes when Bobby Moore broke up a German ahack and a swim move saw the impressive Newton playing

Brazil 3 v 1 Uruguay
Brazil turned on the style once again to secure a place in the nal. Uruguay went ahead through Cubilla in the 19th minute only for Brazil to equalise through Clodoaldo just before half 8me. The game was evenly matched un8l the nal 20 minutes when the extraordinary ahacking skills and air of the Brazilians proved too much and goals from Jairzinho and Rivelino secured victory. Perhaps the most remarkable moment of the Tournament occurred with Brazil leading 2-1 and Pele displayed his genius. The number 10 ran onto a Jairzinho pass and let the ball run past him as Ladislao Mazurkiewicz the keeper came out, Mazurkiewiczs momentum lem him stranded but Pele ran beyond the Uruguayan, picked up the loose ball and shot narrowly wide from an acute angle. Had he found the net it would have been the greatest goal of all 8me from the Brazilian legend

Having used both their subs8tutes the Germans were at a disadvantage as Beckenbauer was playing with his arm strapped to his side having been cynically fouled. The prolic Gerd Mller gave Germany a 94th minute lead but Burgnich and Riva put Italy 3-2 up before Mller scored his tenth goal of the tournament to level. Less than a minute later the European Footballer of the Year Gianni Rivera on as a subs8tute scored the winner to set up a nal with Brazil.
