Campbell, the 44-year-old former American Ama'euv champion from Huntingdon, W.Va.. guided 19 year-old Jack- Lewis to a 1 up victory over Rodney Foster and S'mdy Sacl dler in the morning's foursomes. Then he went out in the sin in the af'ernoon and found himself two down after seven holes and again after 12 the star British player, Ronnie Shade. Campbell turned the match his way by winning four straight holes, starting at the 12th, to defeat Shnde 2 and 1.

So the gamble of Jess Sweetser, nonplaying captain of the U.S. team, in making Campbell the anchor man of his team, proved a success. Four more foursomes and eight singles will be played Saturday to decide the destination of the trophy America has won 18 times, Britain once with one tie in Baltimore, two years ago. This is the way the matches turned out over the par links stretching 6.748 yards on the edge of Pegwell Bay, where the winds gusted to 60 miles per hour. Foursomes Robert Murphy, Gainesville.

That is until you take some time to talk to a holder of a Black Belt such as Pat O'Neill a physical education instructor at the high school and the varsity wrestling coach. "The word itself," reveals Pat, "is a combination of two. The first, Ju, means way, and second half, Do, is an adjective meaning gentle the gentle way." It is true many methods of judo are geared as self-defense measures and this plays a big part in the growth of the sport in the United States, but the original intent was to create a "gentle way" of physical and mental development. "There is a great deal more to Judo than the activities on the mat," notes O'Neill. "The true purpose of judo is to develop the individual's character and sense of sportsmanship while learning self-discipline, restraint, and tolerance." Professor Jigaro Kano is credited witli the "founder" label for the sport in 1882 when he opened a school of judo in the Japanese city of Kyoto.

Presently the worldwide headquarters and the leading school of instruction is the Kodakan in Tokyo. It was at the famous Kodokan that O'Neill received much of his training leading to the Black Belt rating. "I was in the Marine Corps and stationed in Okinawa. Some of my buddies kept pestering me to get involved in judo classes that were taught there not by the Corps, but in private schools. It only cost about 500 yen ($4.80) a month, and 1 really got bit by the bug.

Anyway, it was a lot cheaper than the usual liberty call, and a lot more worthwhile." As any novice, O'Neill wore the white belt signifying his level of proficiency and advancement. In order to progress to the neit plateau, certain accomplishments must be attained. The steps get increasingly more difficult as one advances toward the coveted black belt rating. From the white to the yellow belt (Sixth class to fifth) a student must have completed his basic training which consists attaining physical fitness and learning how to fall correctly. After the yellow, the candidate advances through orange, green, blue, and brown belts to put in what is tabbed "kyu 1." This is the highest achievement in the "kyu" classes starting with six (white) and working down.

The next step is the "dan" or holder of the legendary Black Belt. But, to think one has completed his training when he reaches the "first dan" is wrong. In the old structure of minor league baseball when the teams started at a level, it would be like a ballplayer making an club, but still with "AA" and "AAA" stops before the big time. There are 10 degrees of Black Belts starting with the "first dan" the level which O'Neill holds. Higher degrees are reserved for judo masters and promotion much more difficult at this level comes from knowledge and contributions to the sport through continuous practice and teaching.

O'Neill's climb through the ranks to the "first dan" rating was meteoric in that it took him just 11 months. "But, he notes, "I spent every spare second I had during those months working with really excellent teachers. I'd spend anywhere from 30-32 hours a week in classQS on Okinawa. Then, I took two 10-day leaves and went right to the Kodokan for more instruction. And, there ir; not a better place to learn than the world headquarters." "I lived right in a Japanese hotel the mats and all that to sleep on, no beds and worked all day in the Kodokan with some of the very best in the world.

"One thing you learn in the sport is never be afraid to ask someone with a higher rating than you to work out. The theory is that they already know what you are trying to learn, and it is up to to take advantage of their knowledge." It was the practice of this in an Okinawan tournament that pushed O'Neill quickly through the belts. He made an excellent showing in competition against much more advanced students and was immediately skipped two rates. All promotions must be sanctioned by the Amateur Athletic Association and the Judo Black Belt Federation both approved and recognized by the Kodo- kan. O'Neill has held his present rating for 11 years attesting to the difficulty of progressing in the 10 degrees of Black Belt.

"I just haven't had the opportunity or the time since my service days to go any farther. It is very hard from 1st degree on and is almost a full time job." Before coming to Wellsville, O'Neill helped organize the Genesee Judo League which now has clubs in Rochester, at Brockport State, and Cortland State. He hopes to start a branch in Wellsville this summer with classes for men, and children. "There are no limitations in judo about size as anyone with equal skills can compete with anyone else. But, there would be an age requirement in that a student would have to be at least six-years-old." O'Neill notes, "If sufficient interest is shown, I'd like to hold a six or eight-week course.

And, it would be as I learned it the Japanese method with the courtesies, equipment, and terms as taught in the Kodo- kan." He added, "I'd like to progress to the point where we could take some of our students to meets sponsored by the league. Of course, the winners in the league then work on to regional competition and finally into national matches. One of our students, James Ogata, was the national high school champ and national AAU champ for two years and was just 18-years-old." When asked if he could pass along a tip to someone who has never tried the sport, O'Neill offered one of the philosophical thoughts to ponder. "The 'Gentle Way' has many meanings and courses to follow. One of them is 'submit to conquer'," he noted.

When asked how to apply this to everyday life O'Neill replied, "Oh, that's easy. Say you have an argument with your wife. You and later when she sees the error of her ways and apologizes you have 'conquered' without any hooting or hollering." But, when, Pal ol' buddy, does she see her error? It's still a bit cold out nights, you know.

Camera Returns to Italy; Bid an Emotional Farewell By BOB MYERS LOS ANGELES Camera, the ailing old ex- heavyweight champion, bade an emotional goodby to America Friday and flew away to his native Italy, but he said he will return. Camera, 00, who won the championship in 1933 and lost it a year later, and Mrs. Camera were headed for Rome and then on to his birthplace in the little town of Sequals.

Neither would say how long they would be in Italy. Mrs. Pena Camera was in tears. So was their daughter, Marie, 24, who is married to Philip Alderson, a median- ical engineer. Their son, Umberto, 27, a medical student at UCLA, managed to control his emotions.

The Cameras have declined to identify the nature of his illness but it is obvious that the 6-foot- 6 CaiTiera has lost 40 or more pounds from his onetime fighting weight of 260. Two Pair of Shoes For Astro Flychasers HOUSTON, Tex. Houston Astro outfielders make use of two pair of shoes when they play in home games in the Astrodome. Rusty Stanb and Ron Davis wear soccer shoes when on defense in the outfield but switch to regular baseball spikes for batting and base running. Staub, hitting .380 and runner- up in the National League, started using soccer shoes last season after the natural grass of the domed stadium was replaced with astroturf, a synthetic grass.

Davis used baseball shoes in the outfield white appearing in 48 games last season but followed Staub's advice and started wearing soccer shoes while on defense this year. Warren Giles, president of the National League, said he had approved use of the soccer shoes. He described them as lough rubber soled with no metal parts attached and said they were designed reduce injuries. During his fighting career, Camera, an uneducated, non- English speaking son of a stonecutter, was innocently manipulated by known Eastern mobsters in the Prohibition Era. He attracted gross gates in his 100 fights estimated at $2 million.

But at the finish, Primo had little to show for it and what he had was taken away from him by the Germans after Italy's surrender in World War II. Crossword Puzzle Episcopal Minister Backs Clay's Stand EAST ORANGE, N.J. (AP) A retired Episcopal minister sought Thursday to persuade the General Board of the New Jersey Council of Churches to send congratulations to Cassius Clay for his fight against the draft. The resolution was soundly defeated. The Rev.

William Griffin Jr. of Glen Rock, N.jt, urged the action was a means of thanking the boxer "for the fine example of loyalty to his religious beliefs that he has set for the youth of America and his financial and personal sacrifice for the truth as he sees it." Clay, stripped of his heavyweight title after being indicted for refusal to report for Army induction, calls himself by his Black Muslim name, Muhammad Ali.
