Mei nHI TRUTH UN»RIDi.ED« SAT^ JUNI II, 1M0 THE CAHOLi N A TIMES usan PICK1N*S Calhoun Is Regaining Hb Olppic Form 8¥ PEJtRY LEA7JER Lee Calhoun’s recent victories over his old arch-rival Hiyes Jooics in the 110 yard hurdles can be attributed to his ability ia niitkir atroag £oiiu.‘iMu:ks. Calhoun came back in 19S6 niter some in9«te« by his then arch oiijioneat Jack l^vU to win the Olympic high hurdles chamjiionshij); and in 1959 Lee canje back after a year’s suspension by the Anjateur Athletic Union tof gettiug married on television to regain his lost prestige . Siuce Ust August and !ip until now Calhoun had been look ing at the heels of Hayes Jones. It seemed for awhile that Let Was destined to finish in secoad place behind the »printer- hurdler Jones. However, Calhoun ke^M his Head up and never apologised for his second ^lace finis'nes. Deep in Calhoun’s mind was a note book that was being used to redord a way to conquer Joaes. Oa a visit to Durliaofi during the early spring Lee told re porters that he wa« only able to work out twice a wtek with hit recrettion jA) in Gary, Indiana, and m'ost of this woik was on the inside. The weather gets mighty rough in Indiana during the winter. Evidently the bright sunshine was just what the 1956 Olym pic warrior needed, for with the start of the Coliseum Relaj's Calhoun has been untoucha^)le. The Gary timber topper won th^ii race with a time 14 seconds in his specialty 110 meter high huridles. The following week he moved to the Compton Relays and only the fine time in the mile by North Carolina’s Jim Beatty overshadowed Calhoun’s record breaking perform ance in the high hurdles. In this meet Lee crossed the finish line in 13.5, for a new record. Jack Davis held the old mark with a 13.6 in 4956. Jowes was clocked at 13.9 four yards be- bia4 Calhoun. Moving up the coast to Modesto Calhoun again was home ahead of the pack in the timing of 13.8, three yeards ahead oi Jones. Last Saturday in the meet of Champions at Houston, Tex as, Calhoun was ahead of the pack with a slow, but record 'tj'ing 14.1 Cor the meet. Down in Houston the wind is very tricky and changes courses at intervals^ w+iich could attribute to his slow time. Too say the least, if not the riiost, Calhoun is ready now and all in this area are wishing him another victory in the 1960 Olympic games in Rome. ^Perhaps you’re not paying much attention to the fact that predominately tan colleges are winning major college champ ionships. The Tennessee State basketball Tigere started the barrage iu 1957 when they wion the NiA>lA tournament. The Tigers re|)eatied in 1958 and 1959.' ’"Lasl yeiw s bMi{d. of baseb^ warriors from Sq^tkcw Uni versity in Baton Rouge, Louisiana won the NAIA baseball «rown. In winning Southern placed two men on the All-Ameri can baseball team.’ Southern finished third this year. Last week a cpllege that we in this area are aU familiar with won the NAIA track dianifiionsfaip witii S8 poiat* and/ a top individual performance by a team member who scored 24 points. Tfai» coUtiga in none other Wi»fii«-Sal«m T«»chers College, coached bj' Clarence "Bighouse” Gaines. The individ-; «al performer was hurdler Fran Washington. It was the first national crown by a Cl A A school. . Winning championships are nothing new for Coach Gaines,' especially this year. In February his hustling basketball squad fi'on the CIAA cage tournament. In early May his Shuttle •Hurdle Ref^y squad won its speciality at the Penn Relays, ^ater in May they won their second CIAA Track Champion- iship and they capped this year with the NAIA team champion- wthip in South Dakota. . Adding to these st^r jjerformances last week was the crowoiag of golfer Bill Wright of Western Washington Col- tege in Bellingham, Washington, as the champion of the NAIA ^or i960. It was tfie second major championship for Wright 4n a year. Wright, the 1959 National Public Links winner, is a Negro .{rom Seattle, Washington. The 6-4 Western Washington entry toured the Bemidji, Minnesota golf course in 72-71-71-71- for ija total of 285. t^'Vight was three under par in the 72 hoie ■ event. i Thesa performances by tan individuals and colleges adds ifuel to the fight for recognition of Ne^^ro football teams in •the Holiday Bowl sponsored by the NAIA at St. Petersburg Florida, each year. Last year efforts were made to have the ^'inner of the Orange Blossom Classic meet the winner of the '^o^day Bowl to decide the true NAIA football champioq. however, the efforts were futile as they were ignored by the gwwers to be. * V^iKeep up the good work, we’re behind you.

Aggies Tops in Team Offense; 6ray, With .534 Average, Leads Batters Sugar Ray Unished, Says Writer BOSTON, Mass.— A weary look ing Sugar Ray Robinson, once boxing’s most prized example, gave hints that, he might retire from the ring following bis sec ond loss to mediocre Paul Pender here Friday night. Robinton, at least 40, told rsportert he had been thinking •hour leaving ths ring prior to this fight. But he admitted he had net made a final decitlon. Old time fight fans winced in their seats Friday , as Robinson absorbed his second loss to the 28 year old Pender in a dull fight, punctuated by frequent rab bit punching, clinching, wrestling and other antics. Six year* ago, P*ndsr would not have lasted five rounds with Robinton. Pander won) the vote of two judges, 147-146 and 149-138. The Ue lias traveled ia. Eturopc^tbe teferoe voted for -Robinson, .146^ South Pacific, South Ameriea and various slates of the United States in the armed services, and as a professional footbaU player. Jackson has iield previoui positions as follows: tsachsr** cosch al' Johnson C.

He is marritd and is the father of two children. , * 144. The victory gave Pender the New York end MastachuteMs version of the middleweight tWe. Gene Fullmer holds the NBA title. Robinson’s showing was.s keen disappointment to his foUowers, many of whom had hoped he would quit while he was winning. Arthur Daley, New York Times sports writer, summed up the feeling in his comment on the bout: "Sugar Ray Robinson was the grMlesr Mghtsr of hh fistic generation, but ‘he hat movsd completely Into ths past tents. A gross carieiature of himself in the Boston Garden last night, the sweiap-twlnging kid of yes teryear wat a humbling asd weary old man at he wat again beaten by Paul Pender for a fractional thare of the world middleweight championship. “The saddest thing in sports is the sight of a supw star whose skUls have been warped by time. It’s f.ke lotting at something at. something, th|fou«b..|m .hour glass with the image distorted, to an alarming degcee. The Robinson of old could have picked the round and the type of punch he would use to knock out the likes of Pender. But Robinson could do nothing with the cutie from Brook line, who stabbed him dizzy and won going away. "Sugar Ray Is finished and boxing it the letter. For twenty yeart he wat its most glittering showpiece, and an incemperably skiMful boxer as well as the deadliest of knecksr-SHtsrt with either fitt "... Pender’s victory is no where near so important his torically as Robinson’s defeat. That setback seemed to carry with it a ghostly orchestration, the thunderously awesime music of the Gotterdammerung. This too, was the twiUght of the gods.” I • ^ s' -if , If ' S''J 4 .
