On who is coming up too late to U.S. Squad Drops Weightnian Blair Melbourne, Friday, Nov. 23 (JP) Cliff Blair, giant hammer throw specialist from Hingham, was suspended from the United States Olympic team today for "violation of the amateur code" and U.

S. Olympic officials planned to meet later in the day determine what to do with his case. Nelson Metcalf, member of the executive board of the U. S. Olympic committee, said Blair definitely is barred from competition which begins Saturday and the only question left was whether will be sent home immediately.

Blair violated the amateur code writing for a Boston newspaper despite frequent warnings that he give up the enterprise, Metcalf said. Kenneth president of the U. S. Olympic committee, said had been advised of Blair suspension by the A.A.U. and is in accord with the action.

"Blair definitely violated the rules," Wilson said. "He was given every opportunity to make himself right with the team but refused." Metcalf, speaking for Dan Fer ris, A.A.U. executive secretary, who is hospitalized with phneumo-rria, said Blair has been warned about his outside activities first September. "He was warned later in Los Angeles, then in Hawaii and again after we got here," Metcalf added. "He continued to defy us and sent the articles.

He wrote the articles in the form of letters but they had the same effect as regular newspaper stories. He talked about team personalities and even made predictions of performances." Finsterwald Leads Barranquilla, Colombia, Nov. 22 (JP) Don Finsterwald, of Bed ford Heights, Ohio, today shot a 6-under-par 66 to take the lead in an international golf tourna ment with a 36 hole total of 136. Win Heat; Glenn Davis Wins 400- Meter Trial; 3 High Jumpers Advance Melbourne, Friday, Nov. 23 fP) Glenn Davis, of Clinton, Ohio, the world record holder, easily won the first heat in the 400-meter hurdles today as the first after noon track and field events in the Olympic Games got under way this afternoon.

Davis, an Ohio State University- student who set a world record of 49.5 seconds for this event in winning the United States Olym pic trials, easily beat Dave Lean, of Australia, in his heat. The first two qualified for the semi-finals, which will be run tomorrow. A crowd of 75,000 was on hand for the afternoon events after some 25,000 had turned out in morning trials in two field events. Three Americans qualified this morning for the afternoon finals in the high jump. Only one of three Americans in the women's discus throw, Mrs.

Earlene Brown of Los Angeles, made the qualify ing distance. Conditions Almost Perfect The sun broke through the clouds as the afternoon events began, making for almost perfect conditions. Davis's time today was 51.3 seconds, one and three-tenths slower than the Olympic record another American, Charles Moore, set in 1952. Eddie Southern, 18 -year -old Texan from Dallas, looked very impressive in winning the second heat with Harry Kane of Britain second. Culbreath Has Fastest Time Southern also was timed in 51.3, although he hit the last hurdle and slowed down con siderably.

Josh Culbreath of Norristown, a Morgan State star and the third U.S. entry, won the third heat with Guy Cury of France second. Culbreath's time was 50.9 sec-(Continued on Page 25, Column 3) over a "good" track for a $3.80 payoff, Breezing to the front under a hold leaving the quarter pole. Summer Tan was still running against a firm rein at the finish when three lengths in front of Mrs. Edward E.

Kobbins's Mid-afternoon, the second choice. Midafternoon Beats Find While Midafternoon was no natch for Summer Tan at the equal weights of 126 pounds, he was definitely second best in the seven-horse field and placed about three-and-a-half panels in front of Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Find. Third Brother took fourth in a picture finish with Mister Gus. Erb, whose last performance in Maryland was a losing ride on Needles in the Preakness Stakes, rode Summer Tan with justifiable confidence and it will be a long time before he has a more comfortable ride. Erb Calls Ride Smooth It was somewhat of an understatement when he reported: "It was a smooth trip all the way except for being carried a little wide on the first turn.

We made our move just about the time we had planned it and he ran a good race." The Maryland Jockey Club was host to the biggest Thanksgiving Day crowd since the holiday had been allotted to this track when 22,189 fans gathered for a program which presented no race at a distance less than 1 mile. Betting for the eight races totaled $1,712,516. On the same dav last fall, 21,903 fans bet $1,785,092. Betting for the meeting continues to run about five per cent less than last year. Find Sets Pace The Special field left Starter Eddie Blind at the top of the stretch.

It was Find, which went out to set the pace under Ted Atkinson with Mister Gus and Is-mael Valenzuela in close attendance. Wise Margin was holding the third spot on the clubhouse turn, but only a half length in front of Summer Tan, which remained in the middle of the track with Erb apparently realizing his mount could withstand a loss of ground on the initial elbow. Going to the inside of Wise Margin after the field straight ened away in the backstretch. Summer Tan moved into third position leaving the half-mile pole. Then Erb steered to the out side and was ready to drive around Find and Mister Gus on the far turn.

Drive Not Necessary The veteran rider didn't find it necessary to go to a drive, how ever, when Mister Gus gave way with little or no fight and Find began to shorten his stride while in the deepest going close to the rail. Summer Tan was safely In front when nearing the furlong marker where Erb looked back over his shoulder and, finding no opposition in sight, sat still to enjoy the ride and pose pretty-like at the photographers waiting at the hn ish line. Midafternoon, which had been declared from the race only Tues- day but came back into the field when Calumet Farm's Bardstown was declared because of an in iured hind ankle, ran exception ally well for a horse reported to have a "suspicious looking fight knee." Hartack On Runnerup After being next to last leaving the gate and passing the stands the first time. Midafternoon was permitted to pick up his rivals one by one until only Summer Tan was in front of him. Willie Hartack knew there was no use to drive the place horse out in the last sixteenth of a mile ana Mia afternoon took second money as easily as Summer Tan earned the winner's award.

Lewis Scores Twice Lewis, who scored two touchdowns, Quarter Johnny Fritsch, and Halfback Ted Kershner, who each scored once, were the individual stars for Maryland. Kershner, a sophomore hampered by injuries most of the year and playing today with a cast on his hand and a brace on his knee. gained 129 yards in 13 tries for a 9.9 average. Kershner set up one touchdown with a 46-yard run and another with a fine punt return.

He scored on a 24-yard dash through the middle, while Fritsch went 7 for his tally. Lewis scored his other touchdown on a 14-yard run in the third quarter. Lewis In Crucial Play Lewis's interception couldn't have come at a more crucial time. State, aided bv a dss intprfpr- lence penalty on the Terp 15, was on the 7 with fourth and two, and a go-ahead touchdown in sight with less than two minutes to play in the game. Quarterback Frank Cackovic spotted Halfback Dick Christy open in the center of the Maryland end zone and shot for him.

But Lewis cut in front at the last second, caught the ball chest high, and sprinted for the right sidelines, picking up his blockers. He had five white-shirted Terps in front of him at the Terp 30. At the State 40, Halfback Dick Hunter came up from behind but was taken out by a Maryland blocker and Lewis was over. His run broke a conference record of 90 yards set by Tommy Whims, of Wake Forest, last year. the great ending and Terp vic tory overshadowed an exceptional performance by Hunter and Christy, a pair of junior halfbacks.

Christy was trouble all day and threat from anywhere as he reeled off a 70-yard touchdown dash in the second quarter and 42 yards to the Terp 20 in the same period. He netted 152 yards in 14 carries, losing 10 yards once on a misdirected pitchout. Hunter Goes 40 Yards It was Maryland's first victory since the 6-0 win over Wake Forest in the second game, and only the second time all season the Old Liners have managed more than one touchdown in a game. They scored twice against Syra cuse in the season opener. N.

C. State baffled the Terp defense in the first half with its tricky multiple offense, and moved for a touchdown after receiving the opening kickoff, which Hunter returned 40 yards to his 47 with a fine, twisting run.

LAWRENCE NULL Calvert Hall, with Quarterback Jack Carter and Halfback Jerry Gray paving the way, defeated Loyola, 20 to 0, and captured the Catholic championship yesterday before about 10,000 fans at Memorial Stadium.

The same was marked ny re peated fumbles by both squads Calvert Hall jumped to a 7-0 lead in less than a minute after the opening whistle and its attack never faltered. Fifth Straight Defeat Loyola ended a most dismal season with its fifth straight loss and only one victory, putting it in a tie for thirteenth place in the M.S.A. Calvert Hall ended its league season with an even 2-2-2 record. Its Catholic title came on a victory over St. Joe in addition to Loyola.

Loyola's defeat automatically eliminated Poly from M.S.A. championship hopes, due to the league inverted scoring system. While Carter and Gray paced the winners. Halfback Bill Regan was the big gun for Loyola on the ground and made three outstanding catches of Quarterback Harry McCambridge passes. The Cards drove quickly to their opening touchdown as fum bles dominated the initial quarter.

Regan dropped Calvert Hall's kickoff on the 18 and the ball was quickly recovered by the Cards. Gray Adds Extra Point Gray picked up 9 yards on the first play and then drove 6 more to the Dons' 3. Carter tallied on the quarterback sneak with Gray running over for the extra point. On the next series of seven scrimmage plays. the Dons marched 49 yards to the Calvert Hall 1, sparked by a 41-yard pass play from Quarterback McCambridge to Halfback Regan.

Regan powered the ball to the 1-yard stripe where on fourth down he was stopped for no gain by the entire left side of the Calvert Hall line. The rest of the first quarter Snd most of the second was spent in Calvert Hall territory with both teams fumbling and show ing more defensive than offensive strength. The Dons threatened again near the end of the first period with the drive ending on the Calvert Hall 3.

The veteran Rote directed three pectacular scoring marches with deadly passing effectiveness as the Packers broke a four-game losing streak and dealt the De troiters their second setback against seven victories. The loss dropped Detroit to second place in the National Foot ball League's western division behind the Chicago Bears, who nave a 7-1 record. Rote Completes 21 Passes Rote completed 21 passes in 40 attempts and gained 289 yards. Though the Packers' long gaining passes were stopped for the first three periods, Rote consistently hit Fullback Howie Ferguson on hort gainers up the middle. Ferguson caught seven passes for 106 yards.

Howton, with most of his pass catching coming in the final period, received four and picked up 53 yards. ICnafelc caught five for 52 yards. Only last Sunday Quarterback Johnny Unitas, of the Baltimore Colts, completed 17 of 30 passes and picked up 308 yards against the Lions, but Detroit rolled to an easy 27-to-3 triumph. Lions Lead Early Green Bay picked up only 84 yards On the ground. Four days ago, the Colts netted only 58 yards against Detroit.

Gunning for undisputed first place in the National Football League's Western Division, the Lions had thrown back the Packers in the early going and even in the final period used a weird touchdown pass to pull inte what looked like a comfortable margin. The Packers drove 51 yards in seven plays and 52 yards in eight plays before the game-winning march that covered 81 yards in nine plays. Howton Scores Key play in the drive climaxed with only one and one-half minutes remaining was a pass covering 43 yards from Rote to Rookie Jack Losch, of Miami.

22 (IP) Cor nell scored its only 1956 football victory in nine games by upsetting favored Penn on Franklin Field, 20 to 7, today In a game which conceivably could cost Penn coach Steven Sebo his job. Sebo, former Michigan State assistant, wound up his third sea son at Penn by winning four after a 19-game losing streak and losing five. But it was reported that influential alumni after the coach's scalp listed this traditional Thanksgiving Day Cornell game as a "must" victory if Sebo were to stay on. Cornell wrapped up the game in the third quarter with a pair of touchdowns. Art Boland, 20-year-old senior quarterback.

romped 91 yards on a keep play and Jim Suiter converted to give the Big Red a 7-0 lead. Fumble Helps Penn After Penn recovered a fumble and marched 24 yards for a tying touchdown which Dick Koze scored from the 2, Cornell came back with a 17-play, 65-yard drive for the winning touchdown. Irvin Roberson, a swift-running Negro halfback, slashed over from the 9. Cornell's highly-geared offense which has sputtered through eight losing games, jelled again in the fourth quarter for a final touchdown. Bob McAniff, a junior halfback, plunged across from the 1 to climax a 46-yard march Boland's conversion put the final figure on the scoreboard of 20-7.

Even in the first half, when the two teams battled to a scoreless tie, Cornell threatened twice. It moved 41 yards in the first quarter to the Penn 9, only to have a fourth-down pass tall in complete in the end zone. Gill Boots 77-Yard Kick In the second period Cornell marched 36 yards to the Penn 8 where Roberson, who accounted for 100 yards on 23 carries, missed (Continued on Page 24, Column 1) Summer Tan, with Jockey Dave Four Oared American Crew With Coxswain Gains Semi-Finals Ballarat, Friday Not. 23 (JF) Yale's favored eight-oar crew was beaten in the first heat of the Olympic rowing competition today after engaging Australia and Canada in a thrilling battle for the last thousand meters of the (about 1 miles) on Lake Wendouree.
