Two dozen members of local New Mexico patrols of the National Ski Patrol system met for an intensive field practice as a final session in a series of classes given by the Regional Avalanche Chairman of the NSPS, Raymond E. Tate of Los Alamos. The purpose of the classes was to educate patrolmen in the danger, Identification, and control of snow avalanches; and how to rescue anybody caught in one. Men successfully completing the course would be capable of directing rescue operations if available when anyone happened to be buried in an avalanche. While the danger is infrequent here in the mountains of New Mexico, four lives have been lost already this winter in Colorado by snow avalanches.

Early in the day. Patrolman ate assisted by NSPS Regional Chairman Stretch Fretwell and Bruce Mackelduff buried the body (a gunny sack of straw) high on the mountainside under five feet of snow in an actual avalanche couloir at 11,200 foot elevation. Dale Holm, a Los Alamos pa trolman, reported the location of the avalanche to start the rescue of the victim in the shortest possible time. The operation was declared successful despite the dummys failure to survive. Patrolmen Tate and Jarmie, both of whom have had some previous avalanche traimns at Arapaho Basin in Colorado, and Ernie Blake, who was trained in the Alps, made suggestions to the group immediately following the quan-j abandon plans for "eaTjuJllOred Sol(l and drive long spears into each square foot of ground.

Johnson said he felt that the Fortuna officers were not disturbed over the Juarez track, and that if there were no conflicting dates he saw no reason why both tracks couldn't operate profitably, Ballenger said Saturday night he did not believe the Juarez officials would cut their own throats by scheduling conflicting dates. Not only the shortage of fans and horses, but the bridge situation would work against the advantage of the Juarez operation, Ballenger said. Anybody who has been around the San Francisco area knows about how bridges affect horse racing," Ballenger said. If you have a population center, don't think that the bridge isnt a factor. It's a bottleneck and the larger percentage of the population is on our side of the bridge.

It was the record-breakingest day in the 35-year history of the gigantic carnival but the great 440 run by big Eddie, hurdles star of the Olympic Games, was the outstanding feature. He equalled the 46.2 Herb Mc-Kenley of Illinois ran in 1947. In the mile relay he made up a 20-yard deficit and a meet record of 3:13.5 while doing 45 8 to equal the worlds record set by Jim Lea of Southern California in 1956.

This could not be counted as a record, because it was made in a relay and not in open competition. In all 19 records were established to make this the greatest meet of them all. Five records fell in the university division as Texas rolled up 49 points to repeat with the championship. North Texas State was second with 27 and Abilene Christian was third with 24. Joe Villarreal of Texas set a new mile record of 4:14.0, Ray Dyck of Arkansas established a new standard of 1:52.0 in the half mile and Bertil Holmgren, the thin Swede from Southern Methodist, leaped 6 feet 81 inches for a new record in the high jump.

Southern, Villarreal, Dyck and the Texas mile relay team were setting overall meet records. Holmgren tried for a meet record after setting his mark in the university division here his leap wiped out one of the oldest records in the books the 6 feet 8li inches set by Don Boydstun of Oklahoma in 1940. He went after 6 feet 9si inches, the record in the college division set by Charles Holding of East Texas State in 1951. But Holmgren missed on three attempts. Bobby Morrow, Abilene Christian Colleges sprint champion of the Olympic games, made his season start and won the 100-yard dash easily in 9.7 but pulled out erf the 220-yard dash because he didn't think he was in good enough condition.

He anchored the Abilene Christian sprint relay team to a 40 8.

St. Johns Nips Utah 71-70 In Final Second By FRED DE LUCA NEW YORK, March 15 (INS) St. Johns and St.

Bona- venture advanced to the semi-finals while Fordham and Xavier of Ohio moved into the quarter-finals today in a pair of National Invitation Tournament doubleheaders at Madison Square Garden. Third-seeded St. Bonaventure (20-4) whipped St. Josephs in the finale of the long college basketball day, 79 to 75, and earned a berth Thursday against the winner of Tuesdays battle between Xavier (16-11) and second-seeded Bradley (20-6), the defending champs. Xavier, sparked by Ducky Castelle, beat Niagara (18-7) in the first game of the day.

95 to 86, despite a brilliant 41-point performance by Alex (Boo) Ellis. St. Johns (18-6) nipped fourth-seeded Utah (20-7) in the second game of the day, 71 to 70, when Lou Roethel sank a desperation 15-foot hook shot as the buzzer sounded. The Brooklynites will play Thursday against the winner of Tuesdays game between Fordham (15-8) and top-seeded Dayton (23-3). Fordham easily beat taller and heavier St.

Francis (20-5) of Loretto, 83 to 59, in the night opener. The St. John's win came after Utah lost possession of the ball with ten seconds to play for taking too long to pass in from out of bounds. St. Bonaventure ball-hawked St.

Josephs nearly to death in the first half, building a 41-25 lead at intermission. But a second-half dose of the same medicine applied in a full-court press by St. Josephs made the Bonnies human. The Philadelphia Hawks fought back to a 65-all tie with nearly six minutes to play. Don Newhook broke a 67-all deadlock by sinking two fouls with three minutes to go and the Bonnies then moved to their final victory margin.

John Connors, a 6-5 center, led St. Bonaventure with 20 points. Joe Gallo of St. Josephs was high for the game with 22. The evening twin bill was witnessed by a crowd of 14,001.

St. Francis never was in the game after Fordham took an 11-10 lead after six minutes of play. Jim Cunningham, John Brady and John Andariese time and again drove through the porous St. Francis defense to build a 38-23 halftime lead. Fordham opened the gap to 53-33 after seven minutes of the second half and the rest was a cake walk.

Cunningham led all the scorers with 28 points to 23 for Brady and 18 for Andariese. Jim McClellan was high for St. Francis with 14 points. Utah had a 70-69 lead and possession of the ball out of bounds with ten seconds to play but the Redskins took too long to pass the ball in and it was awarded to St. Johns.

Gus Alfieri drove in for a shot that missed. Roethel, the bespectacled 6-6 center, came up with the ball out of a scramble and got off a blind hook shot that went in at the buzzer. The Utah-St. John's game was close all the way. The two teams battled through three first-half ties and numerous changes of leads before St.

Johns took a 36-29 lead into the dressing room. In the second half, Utah fought back until it erected a 48-42 lead. Soon after, the two teams went through seven consecutive lead changes before a basket by Alfieri gave St, John's a 61-60 lead. The Brooklynites added four more quick points but still Utah fought back and took the lead at 68-67 when Benny Cutler stole the ball and went in for a bucket with less than four minutes to play. Utah added two more fouls for a three-point spread but Roethel put in two fouls of his own to cut the deficit to one point with 45 seconds tQ play.

Utah sub Keith Anchell, in the next 30 seconds, twice missed the opening shot of one and one foul situations. After the second time, Utah got the ball out of bounds and that was when the referee's crucial call was made. "Xavier earned a Tuesday night meeting with second-seeded Bradley. Eliis was amazing as he ripped off 12 straight points and 18 of 20 of the Eagles points as they barreled into the lead late in the second half. But Castelle, Joe Viviano and Hank Stein were too potent a combination for the 6-5 Niagara -center to handle alone.

Viviano, who led Xavier with 26 points, 'paced the Musketeers to a 41-39 halftime lead. Stein's deadly eye from the outside accounted for 17 points and helped Xavier maintain its lead until Ellis went on his late rampage. Starting from a 70-66 deficit, Ellis boosted Niagara into an 80-73 lead with five minutes to play. But Castelle contributed two sparkling driving layups to a Xavier resurgence that tied the score at 84-all. With two minutes remaining, little Ducky, a 5-11 guard, drove in for another basket, added a foul and the Ohioans had a lead for keeps.

He finished with 18 points. 1.
