Hill, last year's mile champ, concentrated on the 880 yesterday. ROBEKTSOVS 6-1, eras-ing the 6-0 city meet record, and Ernie Gilcrease's 4:35.5 mile accounted for two Crispus Attucks school records.

Robertson had two more jumps coming when 880 relay time arrived and decided to quit at 6-13. Gilcreasc, 880 winner last year, switched to the mile this time and had too much kick for Tech's Floyd Romack, a junior who led the first lops. Carl Carey, Shortridge favorite who holds the 4:33.6 season record time for city-county track, didn't even place. Robertson also finished second in the high hurdles behind Don Ross of Washington who created a mild surprise, equaling the 15.5 season record Boston (UP) Big Don Lar-sen weathered three tough storms and went on to deal the Boston Red Sox their fifth consecutive lass with a six hit, 5-2 victory for the New York Yankees yesterday. The husky Yankee right hander skillfully worked out of a no-out, bases loaded situation in the second inning and had matters well in hand until the seventh when the Red Sox put together three the big one by Pinch Hitter Grady Hatton for their first run.

The unbeaten Larsen struck out five and walked four to record his second win and contributed a run-scoring double and a single to New York's eight hit attack. THE RED SOX threatened again in the ninth when Hank Bauer dropped Jimmy Piersall's fly ball for a two-base error. Don Buddin got his third single of the game to put runners on first and third with nobody out. However, Substitute Catcher Pete Daley hit into a double play, allowing Piersall to score and Pinch Batter Faye Throne- rry flied out to end the threat. belonging to Tech's Rein Leet- mae in the trials.

Hill becomes the No. 1 challenger in next month's state meet behind the de-f ending champ, Marvin Sturgeon of Cannelton, who set a 1:56.6 record last year on the same track. Four records were broken In the meet won for the 15th time by Tech.

In addition to Hill's terrific 1:59.5 for the half-mile, Jim Stonebraker of Tech tossed the shot 52 feet 11 inches; Dick Mace of Tech turned in a :19.9 record in the low hurdle trials, two-tenths better than-his winning time in the finals; and Oscar Robertson of Crispus Attucks cleared 6-1 in the high jump. Tech piled up 67 points with nix firsts in the 13 events, 24 points In three of the four field events and 10 more in the 100-yard dash. Other team scoring wllh number of firsts in parentheses were: Shortridge 48 (2); Attucks '41 (2); Washington 28 (2); Howe (1); Broad Ripple Wood 1. Manual and Scecina failed to score. A stiff westerly wind didn't produce the unusually-fast times everyone nitidpated in the sprints and hurdles, perhaps due to the 80-degrec heat.

ONLY DOUBLE winner was Mace in. the low hurdles and 100, nicking Tech teammate Freddie McCoy at the wire in the century in :10.1. It was the first loss for McCoy in two years of city competition. He swept the 100-220 end set a 10-Xlat record for the 100 last year. McCoy bounced back in the WANTED Kellogg Switchboard 1 Supply Division tf International Telephone and Telegraph Corp.

Blasts Michigan tlilctic Policy Columbus, O. (UP) A letter written by Alumni Secretary John B.

Fullen of Ohio State University last December was revealed yesterday, charging a group of wealthy men contributed $100,000 a year to University of Michigan football players Fullen, in a Dec. 11 letter to the Alumni Advisory Board said a former Big Ten faculty representative from Michigan State told htm that "we have the names, dates and places and the dope on Michigan. They have 100 wealthy men now who contribute $1,000 a year either directly to the players or through the university." Fullen. often an out-spoken critic of over-emphasis in football said the letter was released without his consent. However, he acknowledged writing the letter to the advisory board.

FULLEN SAID he learned of the alleged contributions last December in Cleveland along with officials of Ohio State, in cluding Athletic Director Dick Larktns, sporlscaster oriT Man ning of Cleveland, and the unidentified former faculty rep resentative from Michigan State. The letter said that Michigan's "technique is that Crisler (Athletic Director Fritz Crisler of Michigan) calls the alumnus, tells him they want a certain man in his territory and not to bother him (Crisler) with the details." Fullen said that if 100 men at $1,000 a year fail to produce results, "maybe now they will have 200 men at $2,000 a year." "This will raise the market price of athletes even in Ohio, and when it get3 tough enough that we can no longer stay competitive, or the other Big Ten universities can no longer stay competitive, they will start to yeil out loud instead of protect ing one another as they do now." Fullen said he did not authorize release of the letter to the public, since it was a confidential communication. Littler In Front By Four Strokes Las Vegas, Nev. (UP) Consistent Gene Littler took a commanding four-stroke lead in golf's Tournament of Champions yesterday as he stood off a challenge by Shelley Mayfield to fire a 71 and post a 141 total at the end of 36 holes. After falling behind Mayfield at the end of 28 holes, the defending champion from San Diego poured in three birdies on the last seven holes to assume the commanding position.

Despite a one-stroke water hazard penalty on the last hole (his second of the tournament), the blond former National Amateur champion continued his mastery of the Desert Inn Country Club Course. Tied for second behind him at 145 are Mayfield, Lloyd Man-grum of Apple Valley. Gardner Dickinson, Panama City Beach, and Ted Kroll, Ft.
