51 Th Boston Globe Tuesday, November IS, 1862 'Golden Boy' a Combo Oi Shoemaker, Ycaza EE. Harrier King St. Martin's Ride Has Laurel Agog 1 fit -1 i Eyes Olympic Spot By HERB RALBY Jim Keefe, the jet-propelled Central Connecticut State junior, has his eyes set on a 1964 plane trip to Tokyo as a 10,000 meter runner on the United States Olympic track team. By RED SMITH LAUREL, Md. In the considered judgment of 53 million Frenchman, a brown colt named Match II was the finest race horse in Europe this year.

By the enthusiastic appraisal of 50 million Frenchmen, Yves -j 4 ft His coach, Tom Owens, thinks the 21-year-old Keefe, plied. "Whatever he think! best for me." Did Keefe, who has made 1 show of his fields in college who yesterday smashed his own record in defending his Saint-Martin has been the best horseback rider on the Continent for three years, a 21-year-old with the hands of Willie Shoemaker and the guts of Manuel Ycaza. Even down here in the thickets of Maryland, everybody knows about those 50 million Frenchmen. Monday the colt stood quietly on the faded grass of Laurel's infield, a stole of yellow chrysanthemums over Iew England Intercollegiate SAlixT-MAR'llN cross country title at Franklin Park, might make the Olympic team in the 5000 meters. "His speed amazes me," said Owen gleefully after Keefe had run away with yesterday's race, his 21st straight victory.

"He's running faster than he ever did and he's so strong he can keep going. "Did you "notice him at the if-- competition, think some day he might run the marathon. "I haven't given that toe mnch thought," he answered. 1 "Johnny Kelley told me it took three to four years to train for the marathon. Maybe I'll think about it after the Olympics." It would be interesting te have Keefe run against the top college cross country runners.

Unfortunately he is unable to do this now because Central' his withers; the kid in the saddle lifted his hard red hat as the band played "La Marseillaise," and 32,800 horse players cheered for one of the sweetest stretch runs and surest rides that ever brightened the 11-year-old Washington, D.C., International Squeezing Match II through a chink on the rail (APWlrephoto) 1000 PLUS Green Bay Packers fullback Jim Taylor romped 141 yards vs. Philadelphia last week to take N.F.L. lead in rushing with 1075 total. He's scored eight touchdowns in two weeks. just as America's Kelso won a head-and-head struggle with his celebrated sparring partner, Carry Back, the Gallic desperado sent his mount on to beat Kelso a length and a half with Carry Back a diminishing third.

Russia's Zabeg came from far back to be fourth, naturally. He was fourth last year. He was third the year before with his Muscovite teammate, Zadorny, fourth. In five annual shots at the winner's purse of $70,000 the Soviets have collected 31,000 Yankee dollars with" this suspiciously capitalistic 5-year-old snatching 26,000 of 'em. His proletarian colleague, Livan, was eighth in Monday's field of 13, just one place out of the money under Laurel's new purse arrangements.

Gobs of Culture This Time Back in 1958 when Russia first joined this global clambake, one Soviet steed was left at the. post and the other ran out of puff. The Reds said the race lacked culture. The 1959 renewal really was uncultured and a couple of riders wound up on their heads. Nikolai Nasibov stayed aboard his horse that time, but he screamed the Russian equivalent of "I like to got killed." Then in 1960 Nasibov and Zabeg were fouled by America's Harmonizing but the jockey didn't get the stewards' ear until the official sign was up and no objection could be entertained.

That year, incidentally, the Soviet riders ate themselves out of first and second money, going to the post three and five pounds overweight Nothing like that this time. Said Nasibov, who rode Livan: "It's been a wonderful race. When we started I could tell there was too much speed in the race for Livan." Said Anvar Zekashev, the Cossack on Zabeg: "nobody bothered us. I was pleased with the race." As for the winner: "he ran very well," said Saint-Martin. "Marvelously." And that the French colt did to hand the top Yankee pair a resounding whipping.

This is a fine horse, and evidently Maryland plungers all read French form sheets for they made him the top foreign choice at $14.20 for $2. Bred by Francois Dupre, a French fighter pilot of World War I who has been in racing for more than 40 years, the colt wasn't raced until he was three and in his first season he was out of the money only in the biggest, the Prix De L'Arc De Triomphe, where he was fifth. He was fifth in the Arc again this year, but only a length and a half off the winner, and before that he had won England's noted King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. finish today?

The other is Oswald Tower. Through the 62 years of this century Hoyt saw basketball at its peak, then at its nadir and, in recent years, attaining the status of greatness he had envisioned. Recently named to basketball's Hall of Fame, Hoyt's entry was belated, because he should have been one of the first. Henry McCarthy was saying the other day, "I didn't see George as a player, although I understand he was one of the best of his time.

But he never lost his love of basketball, doing everything to keep the game alive during the years when it was dropped by many high schools. He was ready to do anything to keep the game going and, if possible, improve it. "I remember how pleased he was with the schoolboy tournaments, when we filled the Boston Garden. Then came the boom in college basketball and, from that boom, came professional basketball. Old age made an invalid of him a couple of years ago, but not before he had seen Boston become the home of the world champions." The college hockey teams of this area help the U.S.
