7 2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, , April 22, 1965 Good Image, ButIsHe | A Boxer? By JIM CONWAY LONDON (CP)--Billy Walk- er's right hand may not be as devastating as some fans -thought, but what he lacks in boxing skill is more than made up by his golden television image. The handsome biond heavy- weight has earned £60,000 in just three years as a profes- sional fighter and seems assured of a lot more despite a recent loss to veteran Brian London. Walker's good \ooks and will- ingness to mix it up appear to be the reason. Against London he fired his Sunday punt again and again without seriously disturbing his opponent's: aplomb. When the 10-round match was over London didn't even have to wait for the decision to know he had won.| Slow footwork .made Walker} an easy target and, despite a courageous struggle, London's) experience dominated the fight.| But the irony was that the 26- year - old Blond Bomber took' home a bigger share of the purse. | What's more, he's assured of another rich pay-night in a re-) turn bout already being pro-| moted by Harry Levene. | "The public thought they would see a good fight," said matchmaker Mickey Duff after/ Walker's first fight with London. | "They know they will next) time." | APPEARS IN FILMS | Walker is an example of the triumph of promotion. Part- owner of a taxi firm, he even has his own brands of gasoline and hair-dressing and has ap- peared in movies and in guest spots on TV. Under the guidance of his brother George, a former light- heavyweight, Billy made a name for himself as an ama- teur, winning 31 of 32 fights and building up a television follow- ing among the girls as well as men. He passed up the 1962 British Empire Games and turned pro, picking up £2,000 in his first match against Jose Peyre, stopped in the fifth round with Walker the winner. Of his 18 pro fights to date,| he has won 14, including vic- tories over such heavies as Jose Gonzalez, Johnny Prescott and one - time Spanish champion Mariano Echavarria. Defeats by Prescott and Bill Neilson of the U.S. and a disqualification in his first. tussle with Gonzales were his only setbacks until he met London, Walker needs plenty of exper- ience before he can think of go- ing after any titles and he knows it. But he also knows that as long as he has his looks and the rather exciting wide-open fight-| {ng style the money will con-/ tinue to roll in. | Loses Again By BOB MacKENZIE OTTAWA (CP) -- Larry Re- gan's proposed hockey school at Innsbruck, Austria, suffered set backs on two fronts Wednesday, but the former National Hockey League player still hopes to go ahead with his project. And if NHL owners agree with Stafford. Smythe, president) of Toronto Maple Leafs, Regan) may have a. big bargaining] weapon in his battle against an| International Ice Hockey Feder-; ation ban on professionals--Eu- ropean television rights to NHL games J, F. (Bunny) Ahearne, presi- dent of the IIHF and probably Regan's chief opponent, has ap- plied for NHL TV distribution rights in Europe. But Smythe was quoted as saying Tuesday in Montreal that Ahearne's con- tinued opposition to professional hockey would rule him out and he would be happy to have Re- gan "be our agent' in Europe. Smythe has no power to grant TV. rights--it wilt require a de- cision by owners of ali six teams in the league--but. Regan said in an interview Wednesday he will pursue the matter The status of the school is un-) certain. 'I hope to be able to go ahead with it but it may! have to be postponed." | CAN DO NOTHING Regan's setbacks came fram the Canadian embassy in Vi- enna and the Austrian embassy here. Both said there was noth- ing the Austrian government] could do about an IIHF ban against professionals perform- ing in Europe. The external affairs depart- ment said the Canadian em- bassy in Vienna had been told by Austrian officials that the) government had no control over the IIHF or the Austrian Ice Hockey Federation. The Austrian embassy issued a similar statement Wednes- day. At the ITHF's annual meeting last month, a rule banning pro- fessionals was passed by a un- animous vote. The school, scheduled to start at the end of the month, would! .have Gordie Howe, Alex Del-! vecchio, Marcel Pronovost, all of Detroit Re dWings, and Tim Horton, Ron Stewart and Terry) Sawchuk of Toronto Maple Leafs instructing Austrian voungsters The Vienese Embassy state ment rejected emphatically" any allusion that Austria does not want Canadians in Austria. here's So Much for You at EATON'S SPECIAL TRADE-IN ALLOWANCE ON INGLIS CITATION WASHERS and DRYERS 40.00 Allowance with only one trade-in item (washer or dryer)... when you buy the pair! 30.00 Allowance on one trade-in item (washer or dryer)... when you buy a new washer! 10.00 Allowance on one trade-in item (washer or dryer)... when you buy a new dryer!
