COURAGE comes In all sports. The other week end at the Tomahawk Relays In cnerokee, Faullina's Mario Ebel Was anchoring a two-mile team. Coach John Rutan clocked his runner in good time for the first 440 lap then was puz zled when the PauMina athlete fell abruptly off the pace in the final leg. What Coach Rutan and the people in the stands didn't know was that TVILSON. defective bone in the Paullina athlete's ankle had snapped.

But instead of quitting he finished the race, running the final 440 on a broken ankle. "He was very close to being of his head at the finish," relates Rutan. "I sure wish this kid knew how to play football- he has one year left!" WILD The other after aoon Wymans baseball club whipped Cotter, 33-1, in three innings. This wasn't a grudge angle, nor were we trying to rub it in," writes Gil Schantz, "but this exhibition had several unusual angles. "A total of 33 boys went to the plate In the first inning, scoring 26 runs.

In the summary there were 12 hits, 12 walks, three hit batsmen, an interference by the opposing catcher, three errors and numerous mental lapses by the defensive team. "The first batter popped out for Wyman, the ninth batter fanned, then 22 boys reached base safely before a substitute made the final out. "Yes, Coach Bob Den Hartog inserted four substitutes in the first inning when the regulars came to bat for the fourth time. 'The Welshmen plated five more runs in the bottom of the third, two on successive homers before Cotter decided to call it a day. Old-timers at Wyman can't "remember such a wild inning.

Schantz scored the game. DISCARDED Tears back, when the state high school athletic association banned post-season carnivals following the state track championships, the Memorial Day classic at Fort Madison was put out of business. ilie sponsors fell in line with the edict, set an earlier date and changed the meet to a night affair, which has grown popular around the state since World War II. But after watching several crops of athletes attempting to match the Memorial Day records, the Fort Madison officials made a wise decision. They threw out the old marks and started all over again with the result that some of the records that 500 athletes will shoot at there tonight are more in line with early spring and night performances.

One of the former records was a 54-foot plus shot mark set by Oskaloosa's Floyd DeHeer who was one of the all-time Iowa prep weightmen during the 1930s. Because of the new set of rec ords, Iowa City's Jim Freeman has a chance to beat the current mark of 50-11 tonight. STUFF GUFF Boone, which will send Bill Davis, Bill Mondt, Pat Ferry and Chuck Hanock after the two-mile mark In the Little Cyclone Relays to-right, was clocked in 8:35.5 last week for a new school record.

Mrs. Newell hadn't liked the way the horse has been handled by trainer Perez, and had particularly disliked the fact that the trainer's son Warren was to displace Jockey Gene Heard and that the younger boy was on the colt when Thursday's accident occurred. Warren Perez is a high school boy, comparatively inexperienced at riding horses in competition.

Mis. Newell also made it plain that she blamed the elder Perez for the slipping of the saddle, since it was he who saddled the colt for Thursday morning's workout. In all fairness, however, horse men say that sometimes a saddle will slip even though originally securely placed. "I NEVER wanted horses, I never wanted Silver to race in the Derby, and I want to pack up and go home," Mrs. Newell said.

"I love that colt but I want to sell him. I don't want any more horses." The publicity incident to Gift Silver's arrival here, his training, and perhaps some of the ridicule (for there has been considerable which must have reached her ears) undoubtedly was the factor that brought about her desire to return home. Her husband was told by starter Rudy. White a few days ago that he didn't have a Derby horse, should save his $1,000 entry fee, and forget about "the Run for the THE SITUATION had been pa thetic. Everyone but Odie realized all along that the little colt was out of place among the Derby elite, but he had his heart set on racing Gift Silver.

He had saved from his earning as a railroad engineer with the colt's partici pation in the Derby as his goal. He had worked and slaved to prepare the colt for the event. You have to give him credit for determination. An interview I had with a well-known trainer indicated how most of the horsemen felt "The Kentucky Derby is the most important horse race in the country. Only ihe best of the 3-year-olds belong in it.

'But this Silver horse has never been in a race. Nobody even knows whether he is a thoroughbred or whether he can run. He's not much bigger than a pony. "Here It is two days before the race and they are schooling him in the starting gate something that should have been done weeks and months ago. "Why, it's like sending my 15-year-old son into the ring with Joe Louis.

"They've used this colt and this family for publicity purposes. I think publicity is a great thing, but it ought to be the right kind. "I'm thoroughly disgusted with the whole thing and I feel sorry for the Silver horse's owners." IN THE meantime Ben Jones, trainer of Hill Gail, which set a track record in winning the one-mile Derby trial Tuesday, complacently says he thinks his horse will run another good race Saturday. Other trainers cross their fingers hoping Hill Gail cannot go the extra quarter-mile in the Derby and look about for some other horse to run with the Calumet colt in the early going, but none of them wants to sacri fice his horse to do that. However, there is considerable confidence around the Blue Man and the Gushing Oil stables.

The handlers of Arroi and several other horses have not as yet thrown in the sponge either. They want Missourian Ben Jones "to show" them over the mile-and-a-quarter route. AM VICTOR AT BELMONT. NEW YORK. N.

Y. CIV-James F. McHugh's Jam captured the fifty-fifth running of the International Steeplechase Handicap at Belmont Fark Thursday. ess.dns.it i riiti ii 2 Spending and Eligibility to Get Scrutiny NEW YORK, N. Y.

UP) A twofold investigation of the 1948 and 1952 Olympic basketball teams was initiated Thursday. The inquiry was launched in the wake of Judge Saul Streit'a castigatioa of the University of Kentucky, which furnished half the 1943 team, and of published reports the 1952 squad wa tinged with professionalism. The Amatenr Athletic union appointed a five-man committee to investigate published newspaper reports that one or more members of the team cbosen to play at Helsinki this summer had violated amateur rules. In Chicago, Owen Van Camp, treasurer of the United States Olympic committee, said there probably will be an investigation of apparent misuse of funds collected to send the 1948 Olympic team to the London games. From Olympic Funds.

The apparent misuse came to lipht In Ktreit'a tatmnt I Tuesday when he gave suspended sentences to three former Ken tucky players, two of them members of the 1948 Olympic squad, for conspiring with gamblers to 'fix" games. In his 63-page statement, Judge Streit quoted Adolph Rupp, Kentucky coach, as saying that come of the money given as bonuses to Kentucky players was left over from funds collected to send the team to the Olympics. A Violation. Describing this as a definite violation of Olympic rules, Van Camp said the investigation of this report will be carried on by the National Collegiate Athletic association. Hugh C.

Willett N. C. A. A. president, said Wednesday he was requesting the X.

C. A. A. membership committee to inquire into the present athletic policies and practices of the University of Kentucky. Although there was no state ment from Southeastern conference officials, it was indicated that the conference, of which Kentucky is a member, might conduct its own investigation of possible violations of regulations.

Expects Inquiry. Van Camp pointed out that the funds to send Kentucky players to the 1948 Olympics had been raised by the N. C. A. A.

finance committee but that he presumed Olympic committee President Avery Brundage would order an investigation. "If it was money laying around, it was laying around in somebody's desk without our knowledge," the Olympic treasurer said, "and if that is so then somebody was delinquent. It is definitely in violation of Olympic rules." Mahoney Directs Probe. The A. A.

U. investigation, to be conducted under the leadership of Jeremiah T. Mahoney of New York, former supreme court justice, apparently has no connection with the 1948 team. It was undertaken because of published reports that at least one member of the 1953 squad has violated the amateur code. Names of the players involved were not revealed, but in a recent column, Russ Lynch, sports editor of the Milwaukee Journal, charged that one team member, Clyde Lovellette, "is a professional and will be lost to the team." Other writers also had criticized Lovelette.

He rejected a $60,000 professional offer to join the amateur Phillips Oilers of Bartlesville, Okla. USE RA-PID-GRO THE EASY-TO-USE, ALL PURPOSE liquid FOR ALL CROPS TREAT SEEDS -SPRAY CROPS FOR 1.

BRUMS--. Continued from Page Seventeen. were erased by some mighty economic defensive work. A double play took the sting out of singles by Ley and Charlie Teague in the first inning. Then, in the second, Earl Birnel cracked a hit past short and Bob Coats walked with no one out.

Dick Tindall sent a low liner flaring toward short and Laeey Curry scooped it up just before it dug into the dirt. Lacey had only to scamper a few feet to second to double Birnel. He threw to first before Coats could get back and it was the sixth triple play since the Western league was revived in 1947. Homer Helps. Harry Wise, the Bruins' start ing pitcher, blooped a single over short and the Dodgers helped him around with a couple of errors in the third inning.

After the fourth, reliefers Red Witt and Ken Fustin kept the Bruins from getting boisterous again. Fustin blanked them on one hit in four innings for the victory. The Dodgers rocked Wise, a native Coloradoan, for 10 hits and nine runs before he departed with one out in the fifth. Lamont's homer over the center field fence followed a walk to Ray Shearer and trimmed Pueblo's deficit to 9-7 in that innings. Homer Wins.

A walk, two singles and an Infield out pulled the Dodgers even. They made a daring bid for the lead, but Gil Shirk was out trying to steal home. Another adventurous Dodger was nailed at the plate at the start of the sixth. Curry, who had opened the inning with a triple, was thrown out by Teague when he tried to score on Glen Gorbous' grounder. That was merely a stay of execution for Junie Tangman, who had replaced Wise in the fifth.

Three pitches later, Shearer lifted a homer far over the left field fence. The Dodgers picked up a surplus run off George Long in the seventh. The winning manager was Norm Postolese, Dodger outfield veteran who was benched again Thursday. Postolese was placed in command during the Bruins big fourth after McCahan was thumbed out for his loud com' plaints about ball and strike deci sions. Pete Gaspor, the Bruins hard' est hitter, missed the game be' cause of illness.

PREPS- Continued from Page Seventeen. mitted four of the eight Scarlet errors. Stolmeier, apparently not aware that he had a no-hitter in progress, walked two in the first and two in the third. Second for Irish. It was the second victory for Dowling, against three losses.

Dowling and East have a return engagement today at Easton Field in a regular-season game. Top Irish batters were Frank Mauro and Frank Sovich, who collected a pair of singles each. Sovich made a spectacular catch in the sixth when he dove at a long fly ball, turned a complete somersault and came up with it in his glove. nnollnr ab a East ah a Mauro.2 4 2 0 1 Polter.cf 3 0 3 0 AMlnaroJ 5 1 0 1 Haltomlf 10 2 0 Sovlch.r 4 2 10 Camnbell.e 2 0 5 1 T.8tolm'r,p 3 1 0 1 3 0 0 2 Mazue.l 4 0 5 0 Cook. 3 0 2 0 P.Duff.cr 3 1 JrO 8termoie.3 30 12 Hanrahan.3 2 0 2 1 Mahaffey.l 2 0 4 0 Krarpino.lf 4 1 0 0 Dove.2 0 0 0 0 3112 1 Reese 2 3 0 2 1 Aiciriltn.p 4 1 Total" 32 9 21 5 Totals 23 0 21 7 Rcore bv lnnlnes: Dowling 203 020 2 9 East 000 020 0 2 Summary E.

North Starts Slowly, Beats Riders Anyhow North cleared is first sectional hurdle With a crisp 4-3 victory over Roosevelt. Polar Bear hurler Porter allowed a single and a homer in the first, but settled quickly and only one more Rider reached second base safely. The home run was one for the books. Roosevelt's' Dick Bertell belted a letter-high pitch deep into left field. It fell just short of the pine trees marking the left-field boundary and rolled to the base of a tree.

North left fielder Pete Blair ducked under the evergreen, searching for the ball which had rolled under a pile of trash. He dug frantically, tossing tin cans and branches all ever the place. Turning, he saw Bertell racing around third. Blair then grabbed a big cardboard box among the trash, gave it a toss, and stood there as Bertell crossed the plate. Porter also tagged two singles.

Lanny Patten slapped a single and a triple. The North victory was another show of revenge. Earlier, Roose velt clipped the Bears, 5-3.
