Scoreboard

P: Floored twice in the first round by the surprise attack of Ingemar Johansson, Heavyweight Champion Floyd Patterson rallied to deck the Swedish challenger in the same wild round, nailed like a frantic amateur until he finally knocked out his man in the sixth to win their rubber match and retain the title at Miami Beach. P: New York police began uncovering another major college basketball scandal by arresting two smalltime operators named Aaron Wagman and Joseph Hacken for paying $1,500 to a player for the University of Connecticut and $1,000 each to two players for Seton Hall to shave points this season.

P: Shunted aside as general manager of the New York Yankees last fall, canny George Weiss, 66, the man who built the Bronx Bombers, signed up for an estimated $70,000 a year as president of the still-nameless New York team that will join the National League next year (while he also continues for five years as a $35,000 consultant to the Yankees).
