He had a terrific punch but, as he explained ruefully, "he sometimes had trouble landing it." The senior Max didn't encourage his boy to become a fighter. If anything, he discouraged the notion.

However, he was willing the kid try his hand at college boxing. The son rather than the parents decided the game wasn't for him. Courage wasn't lacking, but incentive was. Max graduated from Santa Clara with a bachelor degree in business administration. At one time he planned to be a lawyer, but found he wasn't intensely interested in that field.

An incurable clqwn, whose tomfoolery was physically robust, Max would break up many a filmed sequence with his remarks and didoes. Producers and directors found the happy warrior was costing them more money in time and film than his stint warranted.

Max's co-workers loved him, and went into hysterics over his stunts, but in Hollywood time is money BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 20 UP) The U.S. Olympic track team warmed up for next week's Rome Games tonight by playing it cool. They7 swamped mediocre opposition from seven European countries without straining a muscle. Team coaches urged them all to regard the meet as only a training exercise.

Unused to competing under lights and concerned about the chill night air, the Yanks performed just well enough to win every event except the 1,500 meters where Austria Josef Cegledi crashed through. A capacity crowd of 18,000 in Bern Stadium cheered the Americans. Best performance of the night came from Glenn Davis, America's gold medal hur dler for the first three in three years and recorded a smash ing time of 22.5 seconds in beating teammate Dick Howard. Long after the meet ended, surprised officials said on consulting the record book they found he had matched the world mark for the event around a curve set by West Germany's Martin Lauer. "I was surprised to hear that," Davis said, "and I am very gratified." Next to Davis' effort, the American 400 meter relay team captured the most fancy in the good time of 40.2 sec onds, only seven-tenths of i second off the world mark set in 1956.

Hayes Jones, Paul Winder, Stone Johnson and Ray Norton handled the ba ton. Meet officials decided to conduct the 100 meter and 400 meter races in two sepa rate heats without finals. In the century, Norton dem onstrated his superiority with the best time of the, night 10.4 seconds. Dave Sime and Winder raced in 10.5, finishing the second race in a dead heat. Sime said after his race "I'm just too cold here.

Makes me feel a little weak." The Yanks smothered the competition in the 400 meters double heats as well, led by Otis Davis in 45.6 seconds. He said he found the track a little heavy. "I could not really hit my stride but I'm satisfied and I'm ready," he said. Poland's Jerzey Kowalsky pushed Davis in his heat with a good 46.5 second effort. 200 METERS 1, Glenn Davis, U.S.A 2, Dick Howard, U.S.A., :22.8.
