Don't be too surprised in the near future when Adolph Rupp, basketball magician at the University of Kentucky, is tendered a new contract for 10 years! This will match the long-term tie recently given Paul Bryant, football coach Probably no school in America has two more capable mentors than these. It's refreshing to see the university recognize their ability and St. Paid Crushes Colonels By 10-2 Al Widmar Knocked Out In Shofner Injured By JOE IIENNESSY of The St. Paul Pioneer Pres. St.

Doug Dodson, who piloted Faultless in the Derby and the Preakness, is up on the winner. Basil James is aboard Brabancon. Faultless turned the mile in the comparatively slow time of 1:38 15.

The Derby winner, Jet Pilot, was fourth after leading most of the way.

R. J. Murphy and daughter, Evansville, won the 20th running of the $10,000 added Joliet Stakes at Hawthorne today. The sbn of Johnstown Blessed Again closed with a burst of speed on the outside to defeat Joe Nace Stable's Blue Helen. Third was Dixiana Stable's Safety First, the '3-1 favorite of the crowd of 18,673 over 10 other horses.

Under Al Bodiou, Gee Whiz was Walter M. Jefford's Uncle Remus. Five others had been entered, but Kerry, Bastogne and Khyber Pass were scratched in the mom- ing and Tavistock and Carolyn A. were taken out after the program was printed. CROWD PLEASED The crowd, largest at Belmont this season, was for the most part thoroughly pleased with the Calumet triumph, for Faultless was the solid choice in the betting.

The cashiers paid out at the rate of $4.30 for each $2 ticket. The returns were larger on the other in-the-money 3-year-olds. Brabancon paid $11 to place and $5.70 to show, Stage Kid $9.60 to show. Doug Dodson, as usual, rode Faultless, and he used his head also as usual. He wasn't rattled by the too fast early pace of Jet Associated Presi WirephoU.

Loyal Legion Romps Havre de Grave, May 17 (yP) Walter M. Jeffords Loyal Legion boosted his lifetime earnings to $17,365 today by scoring his most impressive and lucrative win in two years of campaigning in the 29th running of the Potomac Stakes. In earning top money of $8,340, Loyai Legion came in six lengths in front of Cedar Farm's Mityme. It was Jockey Al Snider's third winning mount of the day. Loyal Legion covered the mile and one-eighth for three-year-olds and over in the good time of 1:50 35, or four-fifths of a second slower than the track standard held by Osculator.

The winner was heavily played second choice and paid $6.60. Christiana Farm's a a was third 2M lengths back of Mityme. S. W. Labrot, Re-pand was fourth, a half length ahead of Mrs.

He is Bill McCord Angott Says He's Quitting Chicago, May 17 W) Sammy Angott, who won his seventh straight fight by beating Johnny "Honeyboy" Bratton in Chicago Stadium last night, said today he is retiring from the ring. The 32-year-old Angott, twice lightweight cnampion, was paired against Gene Burton in the Stadium's next big "show June 6 after taking a unanimous 10-round decision from Bratton, whose victory; string was snapped at 10. In a letter to Matchmaker Jack Hurley Angott said: "I am sorry I can't go through with the Burton fight but I am retiring from the fight game, this time for sure.1 (He was on his fourth-comeback attempt after previous retirements.) I am well satisfied that I showed the (Illinois) boxing commission that I could still fight a little." cf Louisville. This wrong-armed three aces, all at Seneca, in the last 12 years. He is an assistant personnel director at Mengel's.

Can anybody top him?" Probably not Now who is the right-arm hurler to go the distance this season in stopping the Colonels on five hits. And they played error less ball. After a shaky start in the first In which he gave up two hits and two walks and the second in which he allowed one hit and two walks, Haugstad blanked the Colonels the rest of the way, giving them only two hits through the last seven innings. Young Phil showed his real effectiveness in the eighth when he retired the side on strikeouts. W1LDNESS It was really the wildness of Al Widmar that led to the complete rout.

He allowed five walks in the third Inning as the Saints manufactured five runs out of the passes, a lone hit and an error. Widmar, making his first start for the Cols, allowed a total of only four hits, but seven runs, through two and two-thirds innings. Bill Elbert, who replaced him. was a little tougher, but was reached for three St. Paul runs and seven hits the rest of the way.

The Colonels wasted no time Dente walked and Campbell sin- gled. Welaj flied to Paepke but Gleeson singled to left, scoring Dente with the first run. Lay- den flied to Tipton, but no runners could advance. Koney walked to fill the bases, but they remained filled when Shofner grounded out. St.

Cliff Bergere, former movie stunt driver of Toledo, Ohio, lost control of the original Novi on the south turn and ended up in a muddy ditch as he took the first lap of his time trial. Mechanics rubbed off the mud and Uergere, who has driven nearly 7,000 miles on the Speedway, came back to qualify for the No. 2 spot at an average speed of 124.957 miles an hour. His time was nine miles an hour slower than the ten-mile record set last year by Ralph Hepburn of Van Nuys, Calif.

Hepburn and his American So- ciety of Professional Automobile Racers are siMing out this race in a demand for a bigger purse. Errill 'Doc' Williams of Wyandotte, formerly of Franklin, took the track in the new Novi, recently completed by Bud Winfield of La Cada, and practically duplicated Bergere's experience. He spun off the track on the north turn, scrubbed off the mud, and then qualified at 120.773 miles an hour for fourth place. STOP Lou Welch of Novi, owner of the twin racers, tried to stop Williams in the fourth lap, on the theory that the car could go considerably faster, but Williams crossed the finish line and the time stood. Once a car qualifies, a second trial cannot be taken.

Mauri Rose of Chicago, only former winner in the field, took the third slot in the front row with a trial at 124.040 miles an hour in one of two, new Meyer-Drake powered racers entered by Lou Moore of Ventura, as the Blue Crown Sparkplug Specials. Rose, co-winner of the 1941 race, gained speed with each lap after turning the first at 123.237 miles an hour. Bergere's minor accident today was the third involving the highspeed Winfield job pince the track opened this spring. Bud Winfield took a skid in it, and Bergere clipped off a telephone pole last Tuesday as he turned into the pits. Horn won a special award of $5,000 for the fastest time of the day.

More than 10,000 spectators watched today's qualification in spite of the rain. '500' Pole Position Won By Ted Horn Indianapoljs, May 17 (AP) Ted Horn of Paterson. N. today sped four times around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway at an average speed of 126.564 miles per hour to qualify for the pole position in the 500-mile Memorial Day race. atop the roof over left field.

St. Paul scored five runs on one hit, five walks and an error in the third. Dantonio started th bat-around frame by walking. Ramazzotti reached first on Wid-mar's boot and both moved up a base on Riggs' sacrifice. Tipton walked to load the paths, and then things happened.

Paepke flied to right, scoring Dantonio. Kimball, Fallon and Haugstad walked in order, forcing in two runs, and Elbert relieved Widmar on the hill. Douglas, first man he faced, rapped a hard single to left for two more runs. Dantonio, up the second time, popped to Dente. INJURED The Saints ran their margin up with another in the fourth.

Ramazzotti singled, advanced on Riggs' grounder and scored on Tipton's liner to center. Paepke hit into a double play, Shofner Dente to Koney to Campbell. Shofner was injured when struck by the ball in making the play. and left the game, being replaced ry At tirancaio St. Paul pushed the score into double digits in the sixth when Riggs walked and came in on Tipton's home run that cleared the left field fence by 15 feet.

The Colonels were spared further humiliation in the seventh when the Saints went down with bases loaded. Steve Naffv Shades Millers For Hoosiers Minneapolis, May 17 Left bander Steve Nagy turned in a masterful pitching exhibition to give Indianapolis a 2-1 triumph over Minneapolis today. Roy Weatherly's home run in the seventh broke a one-all tie and provided the margin of victory. Marv Grissom. Minneapolis right hander, matched Nagy's exhibition except for that four-bs t.mash by Weatherly.

Each pitcher allowed only three hits. Babe Barna got two of the Millers hits off Nagy, one of them a triple. He also drove in the only i neapolis run. IndpK ab.h.po.a. Mpl.

May 17 Some 'slight' cursing may all right for baseball players in the American Association, but President Charlie Hurth of the Southern Association says it would be an expensive hobby for a man in his league. Hurth made it clear that a fine awaits any of his men who forget they are Southern Association gentlemen. Yesterday President Frank Lane of the American Association ordered his umpires to overlook mild swearing, if it is "not obviously audible in the stands." He declared that "profanity is, with some ball players, just a form of speech." But Hurth said today: "If cursing is part of the vocabulary of a player in the Southern, he'd better change his vocabulary, unless he has a mighty big bank roll. Who's to say when it can be heard in the stands? We're trying to get the ladies and the kids out to our ball games. We're not going to have any swearing around them."

May 17. Through the Stretch it was all Faultless in the seventy second running of the Withers Stakes at Belmont Park today. The Calumet Farm's colt, winner of the Preakness the previous Saturday, took command outside the eighth pole and, as most of the crowd of 49,810 cut loose with a roar of approval, swept on to an easy two-length victory. It was the Maine Chance Farm's Jet Pilot that he collared early in the straightaway, and the Kentucky Derby champion, who had run himself groggy in the first three-quarters of a mile race, succeeded in getting only fourth money. 84 TOISHOT Second to.

Faultless, as he was in the Flamingo Stakes at Hia-leah Park in March, was Walter P. 1 r's Brabancon, a 28-to-l shot in the field of seven.

Winner of the first race was Lovely Fox, which returned $54.80 on a straight ticket. In the second Air Cadet made a ticket on his nose worth $44.10. Playing under pressure on one of the world's most exasperating courses. Ward was three under fours for the 15 holes in the afternoon.

He had Scotsmen in the gallery comparing him to Bobby Jones, the greatest compliment natives of this old town can offer. Almost simultaneously with Ward's victory, Skee Riegel of California closed out his opponent, Gerald Micklem, the English amateur champion, 6 and 5, and within minutes Willie Tur-nesa had turned back the Irishman, Cecil Ewing, 6 and 5 for the American victory. The triumphant rush was stemmed momentarily when young Joe Carr, the Irish cham- pion, wrapped up his 5 and 2 win over lanky Ted Bishop, present American amateiir king, put there was never a chance now that the British might turn the tide.

S. amateur tennis queens now turned professional, play an exhibition match this afternoon at the Louisville Boat Club. St. Andrews, Scotland, May 17 (AP) Seemingly inspired by the magnificent play of Marvin "Bud" Ward, America's Walker Cup team Fummoned an amazing burst of golf after lunch today to sweep to v.ctory in six out of eight singles matches against Britain's leading emateurs snd regain by a final tcoi of 8-4 the coveted team trophy which has reposed in the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse here since 1933. STRUGGLE Up to the time that Ward, the Spokane, veteran, set forth with fire in his eyes, the Americans had been locked in a grim hand-to-hand struggle that gave no hint of the ultimate vic- tor.

After Ward, down three holes at the end of the morning round, came back to rend his op ponent, Leonard Crawley, by 5-3, His teammates turned the thing into a route. When the dust finally settled ever the famous "old course," only Ted Bishop and Fred Kam-mer, of the American side had failed to rack up victories. Smiley Quick. National public links champion, had slaughtered Jimmie Wilson of Scotland by 8 and 6. the day's most one-sided margin, and the big cup was on its way back to America.

TRAILING The final count of 8-4 included the two victories scored by each team in the Scotch foursomes yesterday. At noon today those two points on the British side loomed large. It looked a though they might enable the defenders to gain at least a tie, in which case they would have kept the cup.

S. since Alice Marble abdicated, as tennis that Pauline Betz impressed Louis- whoppered in going after almost impossible shots. She was the hardest-trying kid to play here and you got the idea that such determination eventually would get her to the top. Sarah Palfrey Cooke, one of five Palfrey sisters all of whom won national junior championships, was equally as determined as Miss Betz. She won the national championship after several years of trying in 1941.

Then she took time out to have a baby but came back in 1945 to wrest the championship away from Miss Betz. Altogether, the two girls have played 17 matches, with Miss Betz holding a 9-8 edge. But the two times the girls met for the national champicmhip, in 1941 and 1945 in the final at Forest Hills, Mrs. Cooke emerged the winner. Miss Betz, however, has been national champion four times.

Last year she also won the Wimbledon's championship. The match will be played on a composition court that can be ready for play about a half hour after the hardest rain. So, unless it is raining when the match is scheduled to start, there will be play at the Louisville Boat Club this afternoon. They will start serving and swinging at 2:30 to officially launch Louisville's tennis season. The girls will play a two-out-of-three set exhibition and then will team with a couple of Louisville pros John Howard and Bill Horton in a mixed doubles contest.

Both girls love to win too well so you can be sure it won't be a dull afternoon. In publicity furnished by Elwood Cooke, who is promoting this tour of his wife and Miss Betz, Pauline is being billed as a comedienne of the courts. One of the stories Elwood tells is the time at Wimbledon when Pauline took a bad, and particularly dirty, spill and bounced up with the rueful exclamation: "And they tell me it takes three weeks to get laundry done in England." Another story has her saying to herself, after missing an easy set-up shot: "Well, no postponement.
