Although it was touch and go a few months ago whether the games would be held, the organization was completed with frantic last minute efforts. Although 2,500 athletes had been expected, probably no more than 1,500 will be in parade today, the rest of the marchers being officials. The soccer game between Cuba and the United States will undoubtedly draw the spotlight.

It will be the first time athletes of the two have met since. Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba. Up until a few days ago it was doubtful that Cuba would participate in the games. Castro charged that the United States was trying to block Cuba's entry. However, Gen.

Jose Clark of Mexico, president of the Pan-American Sports Organization, finally cleared the amateur status of the Cubans and the team flew to Brazil.

WASHINGTON UP) Professional football stars Paul Hornung and Alex Karras may be asked to testify under oath here about the bets that led to their indefinite suspension, it was learned yesterday. "WE MAY PUT them under subpoena," Sen. John L. McClel- lan, chairman or the Senate's Permanent Investigations Subcommittee, told a reporter. "We will make a decision on that later after we have exam ined the evidence obtained by our over-all investigation of gambling, point-shaving and oth er activities connected with sports, both professional and amateur, the senator added.

At the same time, McClellan said-he was not now at liberty to discuss published reports that his Senate investigators first dis covered that Hornung, star of the champion Green Bay Pack era, was placing bets with Las Vegas, gamblers. "IT WOULD BE improper and unfair for me to discuss details of our investigation until we are ready to present them at a hearing," McClellan said. McClellan previously congratulated Commissioner Pete Rozelle of the National Football League for his drastic moves to stamp out gambling in the professional sport. Rozelle applied the indefinite suspensions to Hornung and Karras, all-league tackle for the Detroit Lions, fined five other Detroit players for betting on football games and also slapped a penalty on the Detroit club. McCLELLAN SAID that when public hearings start, "our witnesses will not be limited to the several players suspended and fined in this particular case." A group of Senate investigators has been busy recently in Las Vegas, where legalized gambling is closely linked with many sports activities.

Fisk was leading with one out In the bottom of the ninth when former Cameron High star Frank Wiggins hit a grounder to Fisk's Jackson.
