The West Jordan favorite earned a unanimous decision in ten rounds over Wilf Greaves, an unranked Canadian. Fullmer found the going tougher than expected as the stocky Greaves proved the aggressor In early rounds and, in the opinion of some ringslders, provided a tougher bout for the champ than did Sugar Ray in the titular match. There were no knockdowns in the fight, although each fighter made a trip to the canvas accidentally. Both had small cuts over the eye but neither was hurt.

In fact, before the invaders managed to score, Mollerup connected at 4:25 and Cottle at 5:55 for a lopsided 16-- 0 tally. Then, with time trickling away, Moulton finally scorched the net with a set toss at 6:20 and Joe Borich followed with a e bullseye at 7:05. The score was 16-15 just -- Murray's Spartans took a page from the book of 'basketball strategy Friday afternoon and game againplayed a st the West Panthers. The result was that the Murray crew dropped its fourth but by straight Big Nine test a far different margin than was generally predicted. West held the long end of a 0 count at the final whistle. It was, indeed, an odd affair. Had the Spartans pumped home their early opportunities and obtained a valuable lead, the outcome could have been different. As it was, the Panthers drew the early lead and refused to leave their tight zone defense. For stretches of as much as two minutes at a time, guards Ray Varoz, and Grant Moulton held the ball in the while West defenders stood and patiently waited. Murray missed gift-fli- p chances at 1:30 and 2:30 in early milling with the scoreboard yet unmarked. Then Darwin Cottle hit a fielder at 2:50 to put the winners into a lead they never relinquished. From that point, three full minutes elapsed with Murray in a full stall, motionless, and West equally determined in manning its defense. Bob Mollerup, 4 Panther center, finally capped a break with a ringer and added to it a free-fli- p which made it It was still that way at the quarter gun, two minutes and ten seconds later.
