He also has had two draws. Chuvalo, 212, and ranked 10th in World Boxing Association listings, never allowed the inex- perienced Mercier to get un- tracked. After landing several solid combinations to the body, he decked Mercier, 191, with a vicious left hook as they broke a clinch a minute after the fight started. As more than 2,000 fans screamed their disapproval, ref- eree Vince Leier of Regina ruled it, no knockdown and al- lowed Mercier, 26, time to re- group his wits. Two minutes later the round continued and within 10 seconds Chuvalo crashed a left off Mer- cier's jaw and sent him down for the first official knockdown Mercier rose at six and the referee continued the manda-| tory eight - count, In seconds Chuvalo again belted Mercier to the canvas with a flurry of lefts and rights. Mercier rose at eight. He took three solid lefts, the fignters clinched briefly and then Chu- valo ended the fight at 1:58 ef the round with a short, hard left hook and a chopping right. "TI didn't get much chance to see what kind of a fighter Mer- cier was," Chuvalo said later. "I hit him a couple of good body shots early in the round and slowed him down. I noticed he dropped his gloves a bit af- ter a body blow and that gave me the opening I wanted." Chuvalo said of the first knockdown: "The referee didn't come between us to break the clinch and in professional box- ing you have to fight your way out unless he does. You have ts protect yourself at all ties. "When Mercier dropped his gloves I hit him." CALLED BREAK Leier said he called a break |" felt Chuvalo moved back too Heavyweight Title quickly, It was not a foul, It was a borderline decision, I gave Mercier time to get his wits about him. Before the fight resumed he said he was all right." Mercier entered the ring with only six pro bouts under his belt and a four-two-won-lost record. He said he wasn't really fit to resume fighting. "I wish I had someone to manage me and get 10 or 15 fights and then I would like to fight him (Chuvalo) again." Chuvalo said he might meet Tom McNeeley of Boston in Re- gina next month and that the details were being worked out by matchmaker Nick Zuber of Regina. oT m still looking for (Doug) Jones (the top contender for Cassius Clay's world title). Jones definitely wants to fight me. Maybe something can be worked out after the McNeeley fight." Chuvalo said he hopes Clay will recognize a fight between him and Jones as an elimina- tion bout, with the winner get- ting a shot at the title, By JACK SULLIVAN Canadian Press Sports Editor This is not intended as a plug for the Canadian Olympic Asso- ciation which needs $150,000 to send a team to the Summer Games at Tokyo next Oct. 10- 24. The COA won't have much trouble getting it from the fed- eral, provincial and municipal governments, business interests aud sports-governing bodies. As far as the general public is concerned, it probably never has heard of the COA's cam- paign for funds. This also ap- plies to fund-raising campaigns bv the British Empire and Pan-| American Games Associations. Canada is one of the few countries in the world that de- pends mainly on government assistance to get. its athletes to these international competitions. Now, the idea is being kicked) around about going directly to! the public for money, much as| Olympic associations do in the] apn States, Britain, Austra-} | OLD COUNTRY SOCCER SCORES lia and New Zealand. They havelll all sorts of gimmicks to alse] money.

The red, white and blue) towels bearing the Olympic] torch have been placed in de- partment stores throughout the} U.S. They sell for $3.95 each| and the Olympic treasury gets/ $1 for every one sold. "All of these things sound | like good ideas," says Jim Wor- rall of Toronto, president of the Canadian Olympic Assciation, "We are not averse to using COA May Approach Public To Assist In Olympic Funds this type project, or similar project, to raise funds to sup- port Canada's teams. "Our annual meeting has been set for Saturday, April 4, in Toronto and the necessity of raising funds will be brought home forcibly to sports dele- gates at that time. I personally feel that appealing to the pub- lic for support would generate more interest in this country in our teams. 'However, we do need the as- sistance of the sports organiza- tions themselves to supply the workers. The COA is a com- paratively small organization in numbers and it is composed en- tirely of vol 'nteers.... "We want to bring this mes- sage of financial support to the public and it must be remem- bered that this requires a lot of help from a lot of people.' Last week, the British gov- ernment announced a grant of $60,000 as a subsidy for the British team at Tokyo, the first time Britain's Olympic team has received government aid. But nearly $450,000 is required to send 300 competitors and of- ficials to Japan and the general public will be asked to find the money. The athletes themselves in Australia and New Zealand pitch in to raise funds to get teams to Olympic and British Empire Games.
