WORLD CHAMP GETS KEY TO THE CITY Cassius Clay, left, receives a lapel pin in the form of a Key to the City from Louis- ville Mayor William Cowger, a right, while former Lt.-Gov. Wilson Wyatt, centre, looks on &t Saturday's homecoming welcome for the heavyweight boxing champion. It was Clay's first visit to his home since defeating Sonny Liston On Wednesday, March 4, the opening games of the General Motors Basketball League were played and it would be almost impossible to imagine four more evenly-contested games. Two of the games were won by the slim margin of four points and the other two games by the even slimmer margin of two points. From these results it would seem that the championships (Consolaion and Champion- ship) will not be decided until the final quarter of the final playoff game. SPYDERS SHADE ALUMNI In the opening game, the Cost Accounting Spyders got off on the right foot in their quest to gain recognition after their year - and - half winless string. The final score found the Spyders on top of GMI Allumni by a 38 to 34 count. Spyders gained the victory on the strength of their play in the third quarter, as in the first half the score was tied 20 apiece. Harry Chambers and Jim Lutton led the way for the win- ners with 14 and 12 points re- spectively, while for the losers it was Jim Stevenson and Ab Gilbert with 9 and 8 showing the way. This was the opening game of the Consolation Round play- offs; with the bottom five team in the league standing compe- ing. The Pay Roll Cadillacs drew a bye. in Miami Beach for the title. Acadian Cleaners Edge Ace Bowlers The Acadian Cleaner five-pin club won a three-to-two victory from the Ace Bow! club in Toronto City Major league ac- tion, at Plantation Bowl. The Oshawa boys started at a nice clip in the first game, winning with 1273 togl041 with all five members of the club hitting at a steady pace, Bob Gallagher 279; Dick Adams 258; Gerry Bennett °!8; Ron "ay 246 and Jim Cassells 242. The second game saw the Acadian club run into consider- able trouble and despite the in- jection of replacements, nothing went right and the Ace Bow] club won this one rather easily, 1127 to 984. A slight improvement in the third game almost resulted in a win for Acadians when Galla- gher tossed in a dandy 353 score but Ace finished strongly to take the decision, 1263 to 1166. Going into the fourth game en the short end, the Acadians finally snapped out of it to take the next two games, 1298 to 1135 and 1242 to 1054. Highlights in the fourth game were the 346 by Ozzie Keeler and a 300 by Dutch Lugten- burg, just when the pins were needed. Keeler continued his torrid pace into the fifth and final game when he rolled a 408) score and another OBC award will go to the Mighty Mite for this excellent effort. Gallagher was the only Acad- ian to go the full five-game distance and it was a big day for "Porky" with 279, 216, 353, 245 and 277 for 1370. Keeler was next,with 1113 for 36 frames, includifig over 1,000 for the last three games, 248, 346 and 408; Lugtenburg 646 for 29; Gerry Bennett 596 for 29; Adams 890 for.41; Jay 781 for 36 and Cassells 567 for 29. John Stones was top man for Ace with 244, 272, 269, 254 and 301 for 1340. The Stan Jarvis Insurance club increased their lead in first place by picking up another five points and now set the pace with 41 points. Next is Acadian Cleaners 37; L. J. Mc- Guinness 35; Ace Bowling 26; Man. Life Insurance 25; Knob Hill Bowl 21; Aurora Bowl 18; Albion Bowl 17. Saturday's league play will be at Bayview Bowl, when Acad- ians will meet Aurora Bowl, while the leading Stan Jarvis club will tackle L. J. McGuin- ness. Only three more weeks of league play remain and with the Stan Jarvis club already in the playoffs, the Acadians must at least finish in second place, to assure the club of a playoff spot. Now Patterson Wants To Meet New Champion NEW YORK (AP) -- Fight promoter Al Bolan has an offer out guaranteeing Cassius Clay $750,000 to risk his heavyweight title against former champion Floyd Patterson. He also has a "'no thank you" note on the way. At least, that's the word from Bil Faversham, Clay's: mana- ger. , "No interested," Faversham snapped when contacted n Louisville, Ky., after Bolan said he had wired the offer to the new champion and his mana- ger Sunday. ' Bolan, however, said the 29- r-old two-time heavyweight wanted the fight so badly he was willing to sign for the bout without a purse. "That's one of the reasons 1 am able to offer Clay so much," he said, and added that "'it's the largest guarantee ever offered a fighter." Bolan emphasized that the $750,000 "is only a minimum guarantee. It's quite likely he (Clay) could make more out of it:* SENT TELEGRAM He said he sent Clay and Faversham telegrams reading: "Will guarantee Clay $750,000 to defend against Floyd Patter- son. Guarantee to be assured to jyour satisfacion. Clay can jname time and place." Bolan said Patterson, a Ro- man Catholic, "apparently feels very strongly about'- Clay's statements that he is a member) of the Black Mustlins. Patterson, 29, held the title \from 1956 until he was knocked jout by Ingemar Johansson in |1959. He regained the title the jnext year, then lost. twice -to Liston, each on a first round knockout. SYNTHETIC RUBBER The first general purpose synthetic rubber to be manu- NHL Canadiens 'Are About Half Truly French MONTREAL (CP)--Just how "French" are Montreal - Cana- diens--the Flying Frenchmen of the National Hockey League? The answer is a little better than half. Of the 17 regulars, there are nine players whose mother tongue is French, seven Eng- lish. Two are from Montreal, eight from other. parts of Quebec, two from Ontario, four from Saskat- chewan and one from British Columbia. There are 11 Roman Catholics and six Protestants. All the French-speaking play- ers also speak English, some fluently. Goalie Charlie Hodge is the only truly bilirfgual player with an Anglo - Saxon back- ground, The coach, Toe Blake, has English as his mother tongue but his background fits him for the job--he's of Irish-Scots and French parentage and grew up in Coniston, Ont., a mining town with a mixture of nationalities. Blake discourages the forma- tion of cliques. There are no regular roommates on road trips 'since he continually switches players around. On occasion this policy caused Harvey, Tom Johnson, Jean- Guy Talbot and Marcel Bonin to break up their bridge four- some on road trips. The trouble was that they were the only bridge players on the team at the time. Time has since done the job for the coach -- only Talbot is still with Canadiens.

They blast out a General Motors Basketball Loop |At Playoff Point MAINTENANCE WINS SQUEAKER Third game of the evening and the first in the Champion- ship Round, found the Student Engineers jumping into a com- manding 22 to 7 half-time lead and from all appearances, look- ed as if they would run the old- er Engineering Chevelles right out of the gym. However, the more exper'- enced Chevelles bounced back in the second half and came out on the top side of a 34-to-30 score. Dave Thompson, the big burley centre for the Student Engineering, fouled out early in the fourth quarter or perhaps the: final outcome might have been different. Chevelles were led by Norm Buwalda and Ken Hickey with 10 points each while for the Student squad Garnet Wylie had 21 each and only two other Student players hit at all. PURCHASING WIN THRILLER In the final game of the eve- ning, the first and second-place finishers clashed in the battle of the giants, with the second- place finishers, Purchasing Wildcats, gaining a 33-to-31 vic- tory over the regular season champions from Accounts Pay- able. This was a closely-contested defensive battle as Accounts Payable Starfires tried to stop big Bob Reynolds, Purchas- ing's six foot four inch centre, while at the other end of the court, the Wildcats were con- centrating on Marcel Boivin. In both cases, the strategy succeeded, as both players were held: to only five points, which is well below their usual out- put. The losers were led by Roy Clarke and Roy Hartley, with 11 and eight points respective- ly, while the winners were paced by Jackie Lyons and Gil Graham with seven points each. Ted Robson fouled out late in the final quarter, as tempers began to flare, however no other damage was done.

Al Heffering's - five-pin club found the Aimco Auto Parts entry just a little too tough for comfort, when the Toronto squad took a two-to-one win, in games for a 5 point pick-up against two points for Heffer- ing. It was a costly loss for the Oshawa crew, as they had been on a winning streak before that with ten consectutive games being won.
