NEW YORK (-—Paddy De- Marco never has fought 15 rounds} and the odds say he won’t go that far tonight when he challenges Jimmy Carter for the lightweight title in Madison Square Garden. But the same odds give Paddy as good a chance as Carter had when he lifted the title from Ike Williams three years ago. In what little wagering there has been on this fight, which hasn’t stirred up much interest hereabouts, Carter has been fav- ored at odds ranging 1-3 to 1-4 and he’s a 7-5 choice to knock out the rugged, charging scrapper from. Brooklyn. Jimmy was the 31 underdog when he stopped) Williams in 14 rounds to become champion. Since then Carter has fought for the title eight times, lost it once| to Lauro Salas and won it back again, and has become a vastly improved fighter. But he still can’t draw a big crowd in his home| town. The bout, starting at 10 p.m., EST, will be broadcast (ABC) and eee (NBC) locally and nation-, Carter is a cool, careful sort of fighter who doesn’t get excited and often doesn’t look speetacular. In his three title bouts last year he bombed Tommy Collins un- mercifully for four rounds and: stopped George Araujo in 13 and Armand Savoie in five. But he} managed to look rather sour in a couple of nontitle fights. DeMarco disregards the odds} and the obvious facts in pre- dieting that he'll win tonight. His} style of fighting is to put his head) down and charge in, sometimes! connecting with his skull instead) of his fists. And he thinks he can} keep it up for 15 rounds as easily) as 10.

This left him one stroke ahead of Freddie Haas of New Orleans, winner of the January Palm Springs Open. Bill Nary, the young Tucson, Ariz., pro, was one stroke behind Haas at 68.

Among them was winter golf’s leading money win- ner, the veteran Dutch Harrison of Ardmore, Okla. The cold wind had irritated an old back injury. Seven stars were grouped at 69.
