...fans were satisfied, Archie was disappointed. A knockout would have given the old battler a lifetime total of 127 K.O.s, would have made him boxing's undisputed K.O. champ. It is a title he deserves. Young Stribling, a heavyweight who also claimed 126 knockouts, swelled his total by touring tank towns in the '20a and flattening the local champions. Archie has taken on all comers at all weights, from Europe to Australia...

"I'm taking off weight so I can fight either Patterson for the heavyweight championship or Ray Robinson for my title. I'll get that knockout record soon.

The Premier dejectedly flew back to the Cameroons' capital of Yaounde, where, realizing that he faced certain defeat in Parliament, he resigned. As successor, the French chose Amadou Ahidjo, 33, who had served as Vice Premier and Interior Minister in M'bida's government. Ahidjo announced his policy: independence (but without a timetable), union of the British and French Cameroons, cooperation with France...
