Ingemar Johansson spends Sunday golfing and swimming with his fiancée Birgit Lundgren and sister Eva at a mountain resort while heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson endures a grueling 4% pound training in Chatham New Jersey. Johansson sparred six rounds Saturday in Grossinger New York and will not box again until Thursday at Yankee Stadium. Patterson weighed 184 1/2 pounds at start and 180 after training. Rocky Marciano watched ringside calling Johansson the fastest heavyweight he has seen, while Johansson calmed nerves with a round of golf and a pool swim in the Catskills.
