T-F explained that the selection by Jimmy Robinson was based on 1961 and to be considered a man had to register more than 1,000 single targets. T-F agreed that Jenkins, the first man in the history of the sport to register more than 200,000 single targets, belonged on any all -time all -America. Due, however, to an automobile accident early in the season Jenkins registered only 800 targets and was not eligible for Robinson's first selection Philip Bryan Field of Wilmington, has been appointed head of public relations for the United States Lawn Tennis Association.

"There will be a fight in the summer," said Patterson from his training camp in Highland Mill. "It will be with Liston.

It may be in June but I can't say for sure. Maybe in July." Patterson said five cities are under consideration in the negotiations, which took a turn for the better yesterday when Liston said in Philadelphia he would not let money stand in the way of the fight. The champion listed New York, Philadelphia, Washing NCAA and Big 10 mark in qualifying. The 50 led to the biggest rhubarb of the meet when Michigan's Jim Kerr was disqualified for three false starts. After twice going into the water, Kerr staggered a bit on the third but recovered his balance.

Officials said that was enough and banished him from the blocks. It was Michigan's second disqualification of the day and decidedly unpopular with the near capacity crowd. Defending champion Lou Vitucci of Ohio State finished third behind new champ Juan Botella, also of Ohio State, and Purdue's John Vogel, the National AAU outdoor 3-meter champ, in the 1-meter diving event. 7 'Violations' Cleared by Big 10 Probe By Associated Press EAST LANSING. Mich.

The Big 10 has given a clean bill of health to seven cases involving alleged recruiting violations. Three of the cases stemmed from charges from schools outside the conference and the other four from the Big 10's examiner report. The action was taken yesterday as the Big 10 ended its annual March business sessions. Commissioner Bill Reed probed the cases and, under a new enforcement program which is shared by athletic directors, recommended the cases be dropped. The only case identified was that of quarterback Mike Cox of Ames.

Ia. He accepted a tender at Iowa but eventually enrolled at Iowa State last fall. He still is at Iowa State. Bill Happel, freshman Iowa football coach, was accused by Iowa State of trying to talk Cox into returning to Iowa. Reed's report showed that Happel did talk to Cox in an off-campus interview at Ames but at the time did not know the boy had actually enrolled at State.

Hawkeyes Lead Grappling Field MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The championship was far from decided, but Iowa's Hawkeyes looked like a good bet to capture the Big 10 wrestling championship as the 48th tournament moved into today's finals. The pretourney favorite Hawkeyes had piled up 43 points through last night's semifinals. Michigan was second with 36 points, followed by Minnesota with 35, defending champion Michigan State 25, Wisconsin 23, Purdue 20, Indiana 18, Illinois 15, Northwestern 11 and Ohio State 5. ol VCS LCQU jg GyHinaStS by 57 Points COLUMBUS, O. (AP) The University of Michigan showed its gymnastic might yesterday as the powerful Wolverines placed at least three men into the finals in every event of the 54th Big 10 gymnastic meet at Ohio State.

Michigan, which last year snapped an 11-year hold by Illinois on the title, had 149 points in the preliminaries, 57 more than runnerup Illinois. Here is the way the teams stood going into today's finals: Michigan 149, Illinois 92, Michigan State 87, Iowa 35, Ohio State 22, Minnesota 15, Indiana 13, and Wisconsin 1.

MUSKEGON TICKETS WA 1-1541 Rover Pool. And it set the Hoosiers for a final assault to night in defense of their conference title. Indiana had put together a heady 120'4-76'2 lead over Michigan toward its second crown before the water even was tweaked today. Mike Troy and Tom Stock were the record busters, and a quartet of Michigan State free-stylers could have joined them. But a quirk of the rules, which were tested to their utmost in the evening session, put a stopper on the Spartan bid.

Chet Jastremski (yes, he won easily) was the guy who failed to come up to expectations, and those hopes were his own. Chet did better the Big 10 mark for the 200-yard breast stroke as he led teammate Kenny Nakasone home. Mike Wood, another Michigan Stater, joined Chet in the conference record breaking department. Troy downed a featt ot tcram bled tggt, thh cakei and gelatin late yesterday ofternoon then relaxed until the 200-yard butterfly.

"I could have done better." Schulhof, who paced the early part of the event, said he hadn't meant to move out as far in front of Troy as he had. He was afriad of getting too tight. Mike took over at 100 yards and kept increasing his lead. Stock, another cool one, apparently didn't know anyone else was in the pool. He swam his own 200-yard backstroke race and finished going away in 1:56.2, topping the recognized mark of 1:57.1 by Chuck Bittick of Southern California.

In doing so, he also topped the Big 10 record of 1:59.8 by graduated Hoosier Frank Mc-Kinney. Jastremski, on the other hand, said "he tried too hard and didn't relax enough." wanted to win badly and I wat afraid if I went out too fast I would tie up and lose it. I didn't expect Ohio Stote't Tom Kovact to ttay with me to far. I watched the whole race. I knew where everyone wat all the way.

That I thouldn't have done." Chet, who finally won an individual Big 10 crown after two years of trying, topped the big 10 mark of 2:14.3 held by Ron Clark of Michigan with a clocking of 2:13.9. Wood surprised by taking away one of Indiana's prized possessions, the 220-yard free style crown owned by Pete Sintz. It was the first time in three years the Hoosiers hadn't won the event. His 2:01.3 was good for a new Big 10 mark. Defending champ Sintz finished fifth with Hoosiers Don Verth and Alan Somers second and third.
