SPORTS FRONT

By NICK FTLLMORE

ROCKY GRAZIANO. typical of many wp-and-down type fighters. was accused of planning to throw a fight to a second- rater from Denver. Ruben . e was reported to be re- ceiving 3100.000 for his dive in the match, a benefit for the Widow

ex ' en‘s matchmaker Jimmy Johnson.

In Hie third Zale appeared to be making a concentrated effort to wear Graziano down with double-up shots to the body. Lumps began to show on Rocky's face and a cut over his eye dripped blood.

\ In the corner after the third, manager Irflng Cohen. ever—soft voiced. said: "Rocky. Anything wrong with you?" Graziano scowled. "Nah. Nah." he grunted, "I ain't t’irigs right. I’ll get rolin. don’t worry." _

But Cohen was worrying. In the back of his mind was (fie memory of Rocky’s first fight with Zale. in which the veteran had come on even after Rocky had pounded him early and here Zale didnt even have that to shake o“f He’d broken from the barrier and was fighting like a young animal with the scent of success in his nostri 5. Thirty seconds after the bell in the fourth. Zale got over a left hook to the body similar those he had been land-

ing all night. This time Rocky didn't blind and take it, he unlimbered his own right before Zale could evade it and his counter jolted Tony noticeably. Graziano was on move. .

'rhc great—hearted Zale responded as he always did when stung into detachment from a plan of battle. He waded in and and Graziano slugged back. It was suddenly any- hodx-‘s fight and the temperature-testy viewers forgot. their discomfort to watch what had become a battle for survwal.

And The Sixth

ZALE SEEMED determined to slow It down in the open- hig seconds of the sixth round, and play for the midsection. Graziano momentarily turned cautious. alerted to a possible trap. He followed Zale across the ring until Tony was less

than a foot from the ropes. Instinct surged within Grazlano. He clawed at the eoronered Zale with both hands flying..... a right caught Tony on the cheekbone. a left spun his head the outer way. a right uppercut forked his head back. another right land- ed on the chin. . The savagery of the assault found the gritty but won 3 Zale unable to punch back. Blindly he turned away and into the ropes, Rocky closing in to whiplash him further

only apparent damage was a slit which Griffith opened over the Cuban's right eye in the second round.

The wound was patched and didn't bother Luis for the re mainder of the fight.

Griffith opened the action be- fore some 4.000 fans in the Las

egas Convention Centre with a solid lead right to the jaw in the first few seconds.

But there was no running by Rodriguez. as Griffith had re peatedly accused him of doing in their past encounters.

Round after round it was a bruising contest. several times highlighted as the two sluggeu it out toe to he.

The turning point may well have been in the third round when Rodriguez. who had been warned once. landed a low blow for the second time and was penlized a valuable one potnt for the rule infraction.

The Most Serious Offence Committed B,y Fishermen

By BEN WARD

OTTAWA (CP)—-tht's the worst sin a sports fisherman can commit?

The man who looks after the fishing in Canada's national parks rates minnow dumping right at the top. '

Jean-Paul Cuerrier. chief oi ilmnolo or the Canadian Wildlife Service. says it‘s the fastest and surest way of rum- ing your favorite trout lake.

(A limnologist is someone who studies the characteristics of lakes and ponds.)

With angling pressure mount- ing steadily across the country, Mr. Cuerrier’s job 0 that game fish are available in the national parks is a tougher one every- year.

“If fishermen would quit throwing their left-over bait into the water we might be able to catch up," he says.

Almost every fish and wildlife agency in the country tries to curb this practice but control is almost impossible.

“A lot of fishermen just don't seem to realize what they’re do- ing." Mr. CUerrier says. "If they're prosecuted for it they complain about silly laws." CAN OVERRUN LAKE

The problem, as he explains it, is twofold.

First off. the minnows sold to fishermen are usually shiners, suckers or perch. All three are capable of rapid reproduction

The league will consist of five; teams this year as compnr to four teams which took part; in last years league. The teams‘ are: the BIS Shamrocks. Main Brace Mariners, National Park. Barry's Lions. and Johnny's Flying Hawks. The Flying Hawks are the newest addition to the league.

Orsino Suffers Wrist Iniu

BOSTON (AP) —— Baltimore Orioles learned Friday that catcher John Orsino has a cracked bone in his left wrist and may be out eight to 10 weeks.

The word came from Balti- more when s doctor discovered

Suckers and perch will quickly overrun s and rob game fish .of food and living space. often to the point of driving game fish to extinction.

Shiners cause an added prob- lem. They soon form the main diet for trout and once they do, that "hot spot" for your spring fishing trip quickly cools off.

“A trout feeding on fat shin- ers will get his fill in three quick snaps. The some fish feeding on larvae and insects may need 500 bites to make a meal."

Result: The minnow-fed trout will spend 99 per cent ins time loafing, ignoring your hook. Your chances of catching him are practically zero.

But that overworked insect- hunter will spend perhaps 20 per cent of his time looking tor another serving. probably find- ing it on your book. . LOADED WITH SHINER

Mr. Cuerrier cites the case of s trout lake in one of the western mountain parks. It was barren of fish until eastern brook trout and rainbow trout were introduced about 30 years ago. They quickly took hold and the place became an angler's paradise.

Suddenly, the fishing dropped of‘ "barply. A ii gler s began avoiding the lake, calling it “fished out."
