Show Fish and Game Page The Palmer Method B-- 6 Page Salt Lake City, Utah July 23, Sunday Morning B-- 7 1961 erser Coast Golfer Sports Mirror by John Fires 67 Mooney On 3rd Day . Tribune Sports Editor By WEST JORDAN Sugar Ray Robinson fought Gene Fullmer four times in title fights and Gil Turner tangled with the current NBA champion three times before the Utahn reached the top. And each holds a victory over the champion, a feat only two other boxers can 'S claim. But despite Robinsons 50 rounds and Turners 30 rounds against the ,, champ, they are pikers compared to three lads who see more action than that before each of Gene's six title defenses. t Milo Savage, who once carried a higher ranking among the world mid-dleweights than did Fullmer, joined ' Genes camp before the first Robin-sofight, late in 1956. Billy Murray became a paid-umember of the clan a month before Gene won the NBA title for the second time by beating Carmen Basilio in 1959. And Nathan Ish has been with Fullmer since Gene began preparations for his first title defense against Spider Webb in 1959. Each of these sparring mates will 'work up to 10 rounds a week against Fullmer in getting the champ ready for his opponent. What do they think of Fullmer this time? Murray, who sparred with Challenger Florentino Fernandez in Ogden earlier in the training sessions, puts it this way: r Jack Schroeder Tribune Sports Writer Artistic A1 Geiberger toyed with the big and rambling Oak-ridgCountry Club Saturday to fire a brilliant 67 and take over leadership of the Utah Open by four strokes with a total of 208. Geiberger, a smooth string-beafrom Santa Barbara, Calif., with the poise of a veteran, left the field behind with a sudden burst of birdies as he went out in 33 and came home in 34. e e n s n p His rounds of 208 put him four strokes in front of talented Eric Monti, who also collected a 67 Saturday. Geiberger was five strokes better than Dick Lundahl, the man who was tied with him after the first two rounds. Bracketed at 214 were Bill Johnston, who had a 68 Saturday; Jimmy Thompson, with the gentle touch around the greens, who fired a 70; Smiley Quick, with one of the days best rounds at 66;' Don Collett, the first day leader who took even-pa- r and Salt Lake ID HATE TO PICK a winner in this fight, because amateur 72, Herb Pollock, who both boys have so much in common.
