For all the facts send phono number, name, and address toj BOX 2067 The Clarion-Ledger, Jackson Daily News i Harvard-Yale Race Seen As One-Sided LAMONT ECHOLS Coach Of Year By LOU BLACK Associated Press Sports Writer NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) Vice presidents in charge of whipping up enthusiasm for Saturday's 100th Harvard-Yale crew race say the apathy can be cut with a knife. Whew, are they worried! Their giant headaches are being caused by a great Har-vafd crew. The Crimson heavyweights are unbeaten, probably the most powerful in their class. They're too good for Yale this yead Experts predict that Harvard will win the four-mile grind by so big a margin that the Crimson oarsmen will be back in their training camp by the time the Yales cross the finish line.

A major reason it can't happen is that the rowing fraternity frowns on anything like this. (f SALE! iirX for Father's Day lull 5 A. 1 WfeM CASUAL Father's Day is This is America's oldest Intercollegiate sports event. This is the nation's only four-mile crew race. This 100th meeting calls for a celebration, even though it looks now as though all the celebrating will be done by Harvard.

The Crimson, with only one new oarsman in the varsity shell, is better than the crew that trounced the Elis by about five lengths last year. LAST GLAMOUR Once a mighty spectacle that attracted as many as 100,000 spectators, the Harvard-Yale crew races frankly have lost their glamour since World War H. Today's yawns from old and young Blues and Crimsons, and the public, contrast sharply with the 1920s, the golden decade of sports. In the twenties, crowds of 100,000 flocked to the scene and found customers eager to pay $50, or 10 times the legal price for seats on observation trains. Par for the Thames River course in recent years has been about 10,000 spectators, including several hundred who ride the observation train at $6.50 a seat, which can be bought up to the last second.

The heavyweights are scheduled to row about 6:15 p. m. EST. They'll be preceded by a two-mile freshman race, and a three-mile junior varsity test. Sunday, June 20th fl flpT' -'I Lit v.

They're in outer space. The Harvards and Yales concede that the Crimson has to be a heavy favorite, but they're quick to stress that anything can happen and has, in this tra ditional regatta.

The facts are: HE LOVES TO RUN Operations Find Kidd Leery Of His Future Softest glove leather! Lightweight only 9 ounces! (Top to bottom) TORONTO (AP) Track star Bruce Kidd, both feet in casts following surgery, says he isn't through as a middle-distance "runner. But he's not sure whether he will run in competition or only for personal gratification. "Hove the sport," he said in an. interview, "but I don't know If I will have the time to treat it as than recreation." He admitted as half-true New Zealand track coach Arthur Lydiard assessment before the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo that Kidd was burned out. Kidd came in 26th of 29 finishers in the race and also was badly beaten in the 5.000 at Tokyo.

Since then he has had two operations to correct pulled remove scar tissue end bone from the heel of his lefrfdot. But Lyndiard, here recently with "runners Peter Snell, Bill Baillie and John Davies for the Toronto international track freet, hasn't changed his assessment. NOT INJURIES Lydiard said he blamed Kidd's training program rather than his injuries for his showing Athough he admitted In November, 1964, that his left heel was always sore and aching and he experienced quite a sharp pain when he ran, Kidd always has refused to admit the possible effects of his injuries on his performances. But he also dismisses Lydi-ard's analysis that over-strenuous physical condition caused his poor showing at Tokyo. Most important, he says, were persona! factors.

He considers his political science and economics studies at the University of Toronto more important than a track career and rates his first class standing on graduation this year as his most important accomplishment to date. STARTED GREAT The 21-year-old runner started burning up Canadian tracks in 1961. He was gold medallist at the British Empire Games at Perth in 1962, setting a games record of 28:26.6 in the six-mile race. He placed third in the three-mile race. If he makes a satisfactory recovery from his latest operation, Bruce says he may again consider competitive running.

His career will not be allowed, however, to interfere with his plans to return to university to do post-graduate work. Kidd says just the urge to compete is strong just now while he is recovering rfom his latest operation. ip vv hi THREE-EYELET OXFORD In block, looks like dross shoo yet hos crepe solos, is wonderfully lightweight ond durable.
