"This is the first time I've seen Brevard play and I leel 14:31 left in the game. Olcr Fox is a hustler he. rniilrf tnnlf him mil anH lhanahu play for me." Bartlett didn't get much of an opportunity to see. Burrows, the Titans' 7 sophomore. But the word is Burrows is on the Gators' lis', too.

"He's big enough and he's large enough to play major college ball," said Bartlett. Possibly the best commentary on Burrows canje from Florida assistant Dick DSvis, wanted to know if "Burrows could get i to academically demanding Florida. "I don't care abouPJ4iis basketball how about his school work, is he going to graduate? questioned1 Davis. Brevard coach Jim 0 1 assured Da "He's got a 2.3 average and will gratuate if he passed biology in summer school," Burrows was making his, grades on the Titan bench' most of the night Saturday.

"It definitely wasn't one of, my best performances." Fox didn't let on that he's going to make a decision about his basketball future, "Florida is a nice school, but I couldn't say I'd come up here if I got an offer."

Dan Gurney will not be in the front row for the Riverside 500 Sunday, but a pretty safe bet would say be will be there at the end. Gurney has this 500 mile road race for stock cars five of the six times it has been run and is' th'e overwhelming favorite 1 repeat again this year despite being third on the starting grid. He has only won' the pole position twice.

A. J. Foyt won the pole position Thursday when he zipped around the 2.7 mile course at an average speed of 110.366 miles per hour. He was the only driver in qualifying to. break the 110 mph barrier.

However, he was nearly a half 'second slower than Gurney's 1968. record qualifying time. Lee Roy Yarbrough finished second in qualifying in a somewhat surprising showing since he had been very unimpressive during practice runs. His speed was 109 979 around the eight turn track. Gurney was third followed by former Plymouth hero Richard Petty, who was fourth? David Pearson, two time runner up in the Riverside 500, was a disappointing His qualifying time was far below times he posted in practice runs and even in' tire tests nearly a month before the race.
