The Shrevepobt Times Sunday. Augut 2, 1970 3-D Get Your Louisiana Auto Inspection at Sears! Automotive Centers Open Monday Through Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday Until 5 Willie Davenport Has Olympic 'Gold Fever' Now I know what you're thinking he said, with the reference being to his 23 years of age which makes him somewhat the old man of the hurdling trade, but added quickly in defense of his chronology that his Sears experience and techniques would do the trick. He shrugged off any excess lass of speed possibilities and voiced no fear, just respect, for the current crop of young-timber-toppers. Of the up-and-coming young sters, Davenport said that South ern University's Rodney Milburn 1 1 BATON ROUGE Its a pretty ong wait for the '72 Olympics, jut Baton Rouge hurdler Willie 3avinport has "Gold Fever" ilready.

The Mexico City Gold Medal innrj in the UO-meter high iurdsi was in one of his serious alking-moods recently and let go tfith, a series of "famous last which will he as hard to Jelieve? as his claim before the yeai'Jvf the last Olympiad that. ''I'm oing to be on the boat for Ihe Mexico City Olympics, and I'm to win." The statement immediately caused a recall of the fact that Davenport had been drafted by the New Orleans Saints to play football for pay which prompted the natural question, "You dont have any plans to play professional football?" Willie's answer flowed rapidly and without need for pondering. "We haven't come to any kinds of terms yet" he said, and the way he said it, well, one just couldn't get the feeling that the fluid-moving ex-Jaguar hurdler nurtured any hopes that he and the Saints' brass would ever come to terms. More than once Davenport is on record as saying that the New Orleans entry in the NFL would have to come through with a pretty attractive offer for him to deter from his current Baton Rouge pursuits. As Youth Coordinator in Mayor-President Dumas' Council on Youth Opportunity, Davenport freely admits that he enjoys his work which includes an ambitious "Rent-a-Kid" project and through it all you sense that he is guarding his amateur status.

Quickly leaving the professional football segment of the conversation Davenport returned to What is obviously his first love, hurdling. Ik has the potential of being the greatest hurdler known," and admitted that the Opelousas speedster "will make people forget all about me." Reminded that Milburn would be a prime threat to his plans for the '72 Olympics, Davenport held on to his experience as his strong talking point. His appraisal of young Milburn was that he needs to concentrate more and work on his techniques. Davenport was also high on Arkansas State's Thomas Hill, "one of the fastest starters I have run up against," but confidently added that if he was close to Milburn, Hill, or Bill High of Tennessee the strong Young Turks of '70-over the first three hurdles, he could beat them all. The skeptics have learned that for the most part, whatever Willie Davenport says he will do he usually does.

The rally put on by Dixie Sports Car Club last Sunday and sponsored by John Peddy was aot the success it should have This statement is by no means a reflection on the personnel who sponsored the vent. Although the sponsor John Pfeddy' is not an experienced rally master, he put on quite a good event. The above mentioned statement in actual fact is pointed to the members themselves. Only about ten crews showed up and this must have been a great disappointment to the rally master. It takes a lot of time, energy, miles of travel, and wear and' tear of the sponsor's car and no 10 cents per mile.

If 'a rally program of the SDCC is "to. be a success, a greater participation of club members is required. This type of thing has been the downfall of the Sports Car of America in this area. The committee of SCCA has only catered to the race drivers and has not catered to the rallyist. The result has been a drop in attendance.

If the Dixie Club js to survive as an active club, the high speed cymkhana drivers and slalom drivers must help, or participate (one or the other) at the rallies.
