(Pops) Harrison, 60, the roly-poly coach of University of Iowa basketball teams in the 1940s, died Saturday morning following a lengthy illness.

He played on Iowa's Big Ten co-championship team of 1926 and coached the Hawkeyes to their first undisputed conference championship in 1945. Succeeded Williams Mr. Harrison succeeded Rollic Williams as head coach in 1942 Lawrence W. (Pops) Harrison Had J06-47 Record when Williams entered the Navy. His last full season was 194bM9.

Two years after taking charge of the Hawkeyes, his team cruised to the clear title with an 11-1 record. That team lost only one of 18 games and became the first Iowa club to exceed 1,000 points in a season. The year before, his Hawks lost a tie for the title by a point when they dropped the final game to Northwestern. In 1946, Mr. Harrison's team led the Big Ten from Jan.

And in 1948, guided by all America Murray Wier, he coached the Hawkeyes through another thrilling title chase This one came down to the final game of the season at Michigan, which the Wolverines won. All told, Mr. Harrison's teams won 108 games and lost only 47 in the most successful era of Iowa basketball up to that time.

(AP) The White Sox reactivated left-handed pitcher Tommy John Saturday and optioned righthander Bruce Howard to Indianapolis of the Pacific Coast League. John (8-7) was placed on the disabled list last month after he suffered a gastritis attack following two weeks with the Indiana Air National Guard. Howard has a 3-10 record and was the losing pitcher in Friday's loss to Baltimore.

I DAVI OSWILL Stott Fails, Derr Wins Fair Race a By Chuck Burdick I Keokuk veteran Ernie Derr weathered a game by Lenny Funk Saturday afternoon to win the 200-Iap new-model stock car race at the Iowa State Fair. Not even assistance from Ramo Stott's pit crew could help the Otis, farmer and it might have been too many hands that caused the defeat of Funk. Early Leader Stott, the other half ot Keo kuk's domination on the Inter national Motor Contest Associa tion circuit, was fastest quali fier and led the race for the first 35 laps.1 However, a broken fan belt stopped his 1967 Plymouth there and it was 33 laps later before he returned to the track. He finally dropped out on lap 76 When Funk came in for a tire change on lap 122, Stott gave Lenny his pit crew. All went well then, but when Funk pitted again on lap 157 disaster struck.

A Jack stuck under the car and it seemed that too many people were giving instructions. He was in the pits for more than 2 minutes and lost Slaps. Lending a pit crew isn a common occurrence, Dut btotl explained: "Lenny needed help so I gave him my entire crew." It included Stott. The delay dropped Funk to third behind Derr. and Ole Brua RACES Continued on Page Three The Baseball National League Standings W.

Bill O'Con nor, who started the second 18 holes with a one-stroke lead, still has it. O'Connor, a hometown boy who is playing as the club champion from nearby Anita, cooled off with a four-over-par 38 the second time around the nine-hole course, but an opening 32 and Friday's 67 kept the lead at 67-70-137. After that, the cast has changed considerably. Perched alone in second, after a second straight 69 for a two-day total of 138, is John McGuiness, the champion from the Des Moines Country Club. Caruso Fontanini, the Wave-land Golf Association champion from Des Moines, jumped into the thick of the fight with a 33-35-68 that puts him third at 139 going into today's final 18 holes.
