hi Stftf, Tiffs tltttt, ffli, ft, vim Comeback Attempt Continues Today 1500-Meter Run Top Trials Event By KEN HONEY EUGENE. Ore. (AP) Dave Wottle doesn't have to worry. He's already earned a spot on the U.S. men's Olympic track and field team.

But Jim Ryun hasn't and the drama of the former Kansas star's comeback has a crucial three-day chapter, starting Thursday night. Wottle. a 21-year-old Bowling Green, Ohio, standout, finished first in the 800-meter run last week in the U.S. Olympic track and field trials. Ryun faded in the final straightaway and finished fourth, earning the alternate berth in that event.

Both will be in the 1.500-meter trials Thursday night. And both figure to be in the semifinals Friday and the finals Saturday night. There were no events scheduled Wednesday the only off day in the 10- day trials. Wottle equaled the world record of 1 minute 44.3 seconds in the 800-meter finals. However.

he figures the 1,500 is his best bet in the Olympics He isn't certain if he'll go in both distancees should he also qualify in the longer event. "I still don't know." he saic halfway through the trials. "IT make up my mind after the 1,500." Ryun. 25. world, record-holder in the half-mile, mile and 1,500 meters, could back into an 800- meter spot on the American team if Wottle sticks to the 1,500.

However, he is confident he can earn his own way by coming through in the 1,500. "I think I got tight on the last straightaway in the 800 final," he said. key is to not get tifht to try and relax." Wottle. who won the NCAA championship in the 1,500 a month ago, rattles off a list of top challengers. "You have to watch out for Ryun of course," he said during a workout this week.

"Add. among others, there's Howell Michael (Marine Corps), Jerome Howe (Kansas State) and Bob Wheeler (Duke). Other events to be decided this week are the 500-meter run, 400-meter dash, and 110- meter high hurdles. Finals are scheduled Sunday in the hurdles and 400-meter event. The U.S.

The beer from the oldest operating brewery in the heart of America. And, perhaps, the most unusual.
