SUNDAY, MAY 25, 1980- THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR -SEC. 2 PAGE 13 lLr 5 Kenyon Captures IRP Midget Show "AAU President Upset With Olympic Boycott Veteran driver Mel Kenyon overhauled early leader Rich Vogler on the final three laps Saturday night and hung on to win the "night before the 500" 50-lap USAC midget feature at Indianapolis Raceway Park. Kenyon, who now has piled up 92 career USAC midget triumphs, won by about two car lengths before a crowd of more than 7,500. Kenyon's winning time of 20:13.25 bettered the old mark of 20:17.20. Vogler, who had taken the lead on lap' 6 and held it until lap 47 when a souri engine almost ended his charge, finished second.

Bob Cicconi was third, Sleepy Tripp fourth and Bob Wente completed' the top five. i Warren Mockler grabbed off sixth, Billy Hughes seventh, Lonnie Caruthersi eighth, Ken Schrader ninth and Tracey Potter 10th. Jerry Nuckles captured the semi feature and Steve Chassey, Cicconi, Joei Saldana and Steve Lotshaw win heat wins. Vogler was fast-qualifier with a time of 23:092. Des Moines, Iowa (UPI) Robert Helmick wants to run a sub-5 minute mile, provide more competitive opportunities for amateur athletes and send the U.S.

Olympic team to the Moscow Summer Games. Helmick, a 43-year-old Des Moines attorney, is president of the Amateur Athletic Union and a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee since 1972. "I participated until not too many years ago," he said, "and I see sport as a very good social reform. I want to give others the opportunity to compete." Helmick has the same enthusiasm for sports as he did when he played water polo 20 years ago.

His time on club teams from 1960-1974 included a stint as mana ger of the U.S. water polo team that won a bronze medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972. THE USOC IS suffering severe cash flow problems, Helmick said, because people feel since the U.S. team is boycotting the Moscow Summer Gaines, the USOC doesn't need any donations. "We're In a dilemma," Helmick said.

"We've got to have the Olympics so we can promote something exciting but we need the money for amateur athletes. "Fifty to 60 percent of our contributions come in during an Olympic year and unfortunately people are cutting back but understandably so." RECORD HOLDER Randy Sweet's one-lap qualifying record of 16.142 seconds will be the object of numerous drivers Monday when American Speed Association pilots converge at Winchester for a 200-lap late model stock car race. Sweet has already gone on record predicting his record will be broken. Warmups begin at noon with the feature scheduled for 2 p.m. Jr.

Tennis Program Expands To 20 Sites Helmick said USOC's decision to support President Carter's boycott of the summer Olympics has "increased tension internationally." "AFTER WE VOTED for the boycott, we decided to work together so our athletes aren't the only ones hanging out and not going," he said. "Most of the other nations are unwilling to join the boycott." Helmick said he is disturbed by the administration's efforts to get other countries to join the boycott, calling them "absolutely incorrect." USOC is continuing to select teams to represent the United States, just as if it were sending teams to the games. But Helmick said many of the athletes are bitter. "The volleyball team has been working for the past two to three years at a training camp and you can imagine the feeling of despair there when they announced the boycott," he said. "It's certainly a negative factor but it's one we can overcome." Helmick's two sons and two daughters are influenced subconsciously by his sports interests, he said, and son John was a member of the U.S.

national modern pentathlon team and U.S. champion in the modem triathlon in 1978. Helmick said he swims and runs almost every day, "and hopefully I'll run a mile under five minutes. "Not too many years ago, people looked at you funny if you jogged," said the trim, chlorine-bleached blond attorney. "Now, I think everybody who wants to should have the opportunity to compete and this has been my commitment." Helmick's commitment to both the USOC and AAU includes traveling to places like Lausanne, Paris, and Colorado Springs, meeting with the AAU staff twice a week, and aiding amateur athletes.

Last month, he raised funds for the U.S. water polo team's trip to Hungary. The AAU is a "grassroots" organization, he said, consisting of 3 million members and 300,000 volunteer workers who organize local meets. His goals as president the past two years were three-fold, including effective reorganization of amateur athletics in the United States, development of a comprehensive masters program and growth of the Junior Olympics program. "I'm satisfied and had we gone to Moscow, I think people would have seen the quality and caliber of athletes we've got," he said.

Bob Frey Captures Anderson Little 500 STA STATI KIPOUT Anderson, Ind. Bob Frey of Elyria, Ohio, captured the 32nd annua Little 500 Race at the Anderson Speedway Saturday night. It was Frey's first win in the event but his car was driven to first in 1974. Bob Smith of Tampa, was second and Bill Roynon was third. Thirty-three cars started the 500-lap event but only 12 were running at the end at the quartermile high-banked plant.

Whiteland Driver Speedrome Winner Charlie Reed of Whiteland led every lap to win the 50-lap oval Outlaw National Championship feature race at the Speedrome Saturday night. Reed started in the front row in a new yellow Camaro and was only threatened late in the race by Wayne Arnold who moved steadily through the field from his No. 12 starting position. Fast qualifier was Lonnie Breedlove at 13.765 seconds. Heat winners were Breedlove, Arnold, Billy Simmons, Dave Grayson, Charles Coles and Gary Grose.

Semi winners were Billy George and John Handlon. Dean Sizemore of Indianapolis gunned his car into the lead on the 10th lap of the 25 lap oval feature and stayed their to win that event. Keena, 6 More Sign San Francisco (AP) Seven of the San Francisco 49ers' 11 1980 draft choices have agreed to contract terms, coach Bill Walsh announced Saturday. Among the group to sign was second-round pick Keena Turner of Purdue, a 6-2, 219-pound defensive end who will be used by the 49ers as a linebacker. Bears Survive Winds, Indians By 4-2 Count Denver (AP) Rick Ramos struck-out eight batters before bowing out in the eighth inning and pitched the Denver Bears to a 4-2 victory over Indianapolis in American Association baseball action Saturday.

Both teams battled gusting, 25-45 mile an hour winds in a game which was delayed three hours because Indianapolis was stranded at St. Louis airport because of heavy fog. During the eighth inning, umpires sent both teams to the dugouts for eight minutes because players could not stand up to the strong winds. The Bears have won 13 of their last 14 games and are 31-8 for the season. The loss leaves the Tribe at 15-23 on the year.

DENVER'S TIM RAINES scored on a ground out for the game's first run after he had tripled in the first inning. The Bears stretched their lead to 4-0 on a two-run double by Dave Hostetler in the sixth and a run-scoring single by Raines in the seventh. Indianapolis, which arrived at Denver several hours late because of a plane delay at St. Louis, started the game without any batting or fielding practice. The plane was delayed by fog.

The Indians were able to cut the margin to 4-2 on a two-run home run by John Hale in the eighth inning, but Bears reliever Randy Miller came on to prevent further scoring and pick up his fourth save of the season. The series continues tonight when Indianapolis' Jay Howell (1-5) and Denver's Hal Dues (5-0) will handle the pitching chores. National Junior Tennis League is starting its seventh year in Indianapolis this summer. During its lifetime the program has grown from 200 children at one site i Riverside) to 20 sites and an expected 3,000 participants. Those last figures represent an increase from 16 sites and approximately 2,500 youngsters last summer.

The reasons for the successful growth of the local chapter are easy to figure out. First, it's open to all Indianapolis youths ages 8-18 and the program is free. Participants are given some instruction, but the emphasis is on playing team trnnis. Having fun is considered more important than winning and attitude and sportsmanship are stressed. "We do not turn kids away at any point of the season," said Bud Bernhardt, executive director of the Indianapolis program.

"We want to reach as many children as possible. Some kids never get to leave their neighborhoods and this program allows them to see other parts of the city and meet other children in competition." Participants are given extra incen Big Weekend Of Racing May 31, June 1 DuQuoin, 111.

Kaplans Chicago (UPI) With the June 15 trading deadline approaching, Jerry Martin of the Chicago Cubs remains philosophical about his future with the club. Martin was an outspoken critic of the Cubs' management during spring training. The outfielder was seeking a long-term contract with a raise commensurate with his 1979 statistics when he was the team's second most productive power hitter behind Dave Kingman. But an impasse developed and neither side would budge. Martin is still hoping that a contract settlement can be reached but is realistic.

"I WANT TO stay in Chicago but I know what I deserve in terms of a contract," Martin says. "If I'm traded, well, I'm traded. That's the way it goes. I want to go someplace where I can play every day and be paid for it." The Cubs weren't saying whether they would trade Martin, a native of Columbia, C. But General Manager Bob Kennedy is anxious to obtain more pitching for the Cubs and may decide to use Martin as part of a package deal.
