NKW. YORK IW Rangy Don Oehrmann’s prospects of winning l
the coVfeted Olympic 1,500-meter medal remained a question today
but America's track and field athletes indicated by meritorious per
formances that they’d be tough to shave in Helsinki this summed
Gehrmann, who runs onlv as hard as h> has to in order V* ' vi ”
again -was content to snap the tape bv inches as he won the/Wana
mals£_ Mile in the Millross Games Saturdav. His time was an unsen
sational 4:112 as he shaded FBI-man Fred Wilt.
Bub-observers looking ahead to this summer’s international games
freelyTpredicted a new Olympic record for Bob Richards, the pole
vaulting parson from Illinois. And there were encouraging feats in
the hurdles, sprints and the high Jump.
The ohi’oky Rich ’- ' ■ uprated as Nebr' k'-’s Dnh Cn-'p-w mi*-'*'’
out feet, cleared 15 feet for the 12th time in his bamboo pole
care«v-i Which mak oc it a’wear a inch t h_,f h-’ will crack th» O'v l 'pic
recorttatif 14 fe“t, 3 1-4 inches set in 1936. If he doesn’t, there is a
distinct hossibilit” the' eitbpr Cooper or Don Laz-America’.s two
other 15-foot jumpers—will do it. I
Anolhrr great O’ ’ • on prospect npo’°re'' to b« blond .T. -Lewis Ha’l
of the University of .Florida. He won the high jump wii.h a leap of
six stet, six inches which was good enough to take the Olympic
title toe Australia’s John Winter in 1948.
Lean Ha-rison Dil'nrd failed to ihcke th" Olympic team last time
whSh sfif ran thrcv<>h *•—' her-l'S. *>S*e >d «** -tn the
sprints end capped the 100 met-r da‘h. He is intent on the timber
topping title this time and Showed, h*= >n w'-'«>ing the Mil’row* j
event. Yet he barely •dw» cot* cA)-' I - rr- T 'hnson -f Ar nv.'
which figures to g’ve 'he Unite! St-t' f potent one-two pinch
there, t"»n if r ctadv e’;,e shows up in the interim, which is in it
self highly improbable
Sprinters are a dime a dozen. Good ones, too. And moving up to
the quarter mile we’ve got ’em running out of our ears. Ever h«ar
of four guys named Ron Ferraro, Lou Jones, Vem Dixon and Bop
Cartv? Probably not.
Weil, all they did Saturday night was run the fastest mile relay ever
stepped o”er tile long-busy Madison Square Garden bosrds. Their
3:18.4 clocking wined out a mark which had stood since 1940. Dixon
merely stepued his quarter 47.7 seconds, only 1.7 seconds over th»
world record on a track where it feels only you’re running inside a
coffee cup. Morris Curotta, 1948 Olympic finalist for Australia, was
run right into,the boards by Dixon.
Another pleasantly surprising performance was turned in bv for
mer Cornell ace Charley Moore. Jamaica’s George Rhoden and fel
low countryman Herb McKenley are ranked as the world's best
quarter-misers but Moore beat McKenley and almost took Rhoden
in the Mel Sheppard 600.
Apparently cooking up an advance a'ibi in case they are beaten
the Russians are screaming already that our armed forces are
building for the Olympics.. All I can say, Joe, is that if they ever
do move in it’s gonna be murder.

Tpd Williams To Givo Fly-Casting
Exhibition In Boston; Talc; Exam.
' Bv JOSEPH LEVINE |
(UP Sports Writer)
BOSTON <W Getting paid
$33.33 a minute just to go fishing)
ought to please even Ted Williams.
The tempermental titan of the
Boston Red Sox outfield comes
north fi’om his Florida fishing re- ;
treat this week to coin a little
out-of-season cash by demonstrat
ing his fly-casting skill at the
Sportsmen’s Show opening Satur
day.
Ted’s tab figures out to SIOO
for every three minutes of casting.,
Pretty good pay, even for an up
per - bracket baseball-and-dollar
catcher like Williams.
I Neverthess. it’s a sad trip north
for Ted—and it might have been
the happiest of his life. For Wil
liams faces recall to active duty
j with the Marine Corps, a develop-1
I ment, that threatens to shatter tnree
of his dearest ambitions. i
STARTED WTH DREAMS
! Like many another less-talent 1 '!!
■ rookie. Williams brought a head
full cf dreams with him in 1939
when he broke into the Major Leag
ues with his fantastic flair for I
homers and hassles.
Most of them came true. Ted
played in the World Series and the
All-Star game, twice won the Am
erican League’s Most Valuable
Player award. He’s been the league’s
batting champion often-once witn
an unforgettable .406 average.
He’s also topped the league in
home runs, In runs scored, runs
batted in, two base hits, bases on
balls. Few rookies dream of more
than he has accomplished.
Yet the fulfillment of three am
bitions has eluded Williams—
1. To break Babe Ruth’s homo
run record.
2. To earn the highest pay
check in baseball history.
3. To make enough money so
Dunn High Teams
Face Cdats High
Tomorrow Night
The next home game for Dunn
High teams will be played in the
armory tomorrow night against
teams from Coats. At that time,
the local girls and boys -will be
trying to improve their Harnett
Conference records against two sec
ond-division opponents.
Both Dunn and Coats teams are
in the conference second-division
at the present time with the two
Coats teams claiming ninth place,
and the local girls are just' a
notch ahead of their foe, and the
local boys are (mistake—Just no
ticed that the Dunn boys eaSfed
Into fifth place with the Friday
night win over Anderson Creek)
in fifth place. t 4
The Dunn girls will nave a
ehance to move into the first div
ision if they can conquer- the vis
itors as they will be favored to do,
but if they lose, they will barely
hold their eight-place position
ahead of Coats. While at the same
time, the -local bejtf will have a
chance to move Into third or even
second place, depending on ~ the
aiitcbme of the next Erwin and
Angier games. '!>’ '}
The Coats boys have -enfne. up
with some -fine performances this
year, and it thfe visitors hit Dfinn
■with the brand- of plfcy thaf lhey j
used to lick Benhaven and Boone
Trail, It may be tough for- the lo
cals to salvage a victory. With a
good performance, the Dunn girls
should win their game in spite of
the effort of the opposition—but
you never know. '
—■ - -j; :■ -1 _^L_
that he can quit baseball in a year
or two and retire in comfort.
MISSING OPPORTUNITY
This might have been the year
for Ted to achieve all three. But
if he passes his physical examin
ation a nearby Squantum Naval
Air Station April 2. he will be 36
by the time he completes his 17-
month tour of duty.
At that age, he might not even
return to baseball, let alone star
dom. And the dream of hitting 63
homers would be dead.
Normally, Williams would have
used this mid-winter trip North
as an opportunity to sign his new
contract with the Red Sox. A bonus
arrangement was expected to boost
his pay over the $89,000 he rec
eived last year when only Joe Di-
Maggio’s $90,0(10 was bigger.
With DiMaggio now retired Wil
liams figured to top *9O 000 and
become the highest-paid player in
history.
But if Ted passes his physical,
he goes back on Uncle Sam’s pay
roll as a Marine Corps captain
and flying instructor at $7,200.
That wrecks ambition NO two
and puts a crimp in No. three, to
retire on a soft cushion of green
backs.
EXPECTED 5 MORE YEARS
Although the once poor boy from
the sandlots of ,San Diego, Calif,
has planned cannily for his future
he counted on at least another few
years of five-figure financing by
Tom Yawkey, millionaire owner of
the Red Sox.
Nevertheless. Ted has not com
plained about the frustration of
these three hopes by the Marine
Corps. He merely said he was just
like hnyone else and wanted to do
his duty.
Williams didn't say so, but no
thing can stop him from obtain
ing his fourth and greatest remain
ing ambition.
Moody unpredictable, often curt
and occasionally childish, Williams
once dropped his fetish for per
sonal privacy long enough to con
fess—
“ The one big ambition with me
is that my name will be included
when baseball men speak of the
greatest hitters in the game.’’
How can he miss out on that
one?
Tri-State Takes In Gastonia
CHARLOTTE —(ID— Directors of
the Tri-State Baseball League plan
ned today to hold a special meeting
to work out the knotty problem of
a playing schedule for next season.
President Bobby Hfpps of Ashe
ville said he would call the meeting
within a week or 10 days to work
out the question of an eight-team,
140-game slate.
Directors met here yesterday and
formally voted Gastonia into the
eighth spot to replace the defunct
Greenwood, S. C., team.
SCHEDULE TROUBLE
But they made little progress on
the question of a plaving schedule.
A tentative slate of games was
submitted, but the directors refu|cd
to adopt it.
Some 300 persons gathered at a
banquet laat night to honor Frank
Campos, who played with Charlotte
last season, as the Tri-State's most
valuable player of the year. Cam
pos is now with the Washington
Senators. 4

N. C. State Meets
Bowling Green In
Coliseum Tonight
RALEIGH. N. C. St* te’s; Wolf
pack will have the role of under
dog tonight at, the Reynolds Coli
seum when Coach Everett Case
sends his squad against the power
ful Bowling Green University Fal
cons in an intersectional basket
ball scrap.
The Falcons, who’ve beaten such
cage powers as Niagara, Dartmouth,
Hamline, Toledo and Loyola of
Chicago have won 10 games in 14
Starts. They’ve averaged above 70
points per game this year and
boast one of the nation's top scor
ers in Center Jim Gerber, who has
a 31.5 average per game this year.
. State has faired rather poorly a
gainst intersectional foes, winning
onlv twice in seven starts. The
Wolfpeck whipped Eastern Ken
tucky and Loyola of Baltimore, but
bowed before Texas Tech. Man
hattan, Fordham, Louisville and
Villanova.
MAY BE A CHANGE
Coach Everett Case of State may
make at least one change in his
starting lineup against Bowling
Green. Sophomore Forward Dick
Tver, who tallied 15 points against
Villanova last week-end, likely will
replsv Bill Kukoy at one forward
position. Kukoy has been in a
wring slump since the Dixie
Plastic tournament and his aver
age has dropped from 15 points per
game to below eight.
The battle with Bowling Green
is the first of two big intersect
ional games this w»»k for State.
Saturday night the Wolfpaek faces
Villanova College of Philadelphia
at the Coliseum.
