Only 3 hours earlier, the gangling 19-year-old had learned of Valeriy Brunei's jump of In Leningrad Saturday. That was better even than the Bostonian's outdoor standard of Before he took his first leajp, Thomas murmured: "I guess I'll just have to try harder." He missed on two tries at the height didn't come close to clearing the bar. But on the 3rd try, he sailed over easily. "I've been working up to this for some time," he said.

"I tried awful hard." The actual measurement was but under A A rules it reverted to 7-3. Thomas did not try for a higher standard after the 7-3 jump. Thomas shared honors with Ernie Cunlife, who lowered the world indoor to a breathtaking 2:07.9. Just two weeks ago on the same Boston Garden track, Cunlife ran for the first time on boards and a race in 2:10.2 in borrowed shoes. This time he left no doubt to the 11,000 spectators that was out to shatter the indoor standard of 2:08.2 held jointly by Don Gehrmann and Arnie So well.

Jones' record-tying run was the more notable because the course included 6 hurdles instead of the 5 which AAU regulations previously permitted.

Rams Trade to Bears New York tf) Billy Wade, veteran Los Angeles quarterback who i like the Rams' way of doing things, Saturday was traded to the Chicago Bears as part of a 3-way a i a Football League deal. The Rams got nsive halfback Erich Barnes from the Bears, then immediately swapped him to the New York Giante for defensive halfback Lindon Crow, an ex-Southern California player.

The Giants also got guard John Guzik from the Rams and their No. 5 draft choice for 1961. The Giants gave up their No. 1 draft choice to the Rams, but they'll still have a first pick which they acquired previously from the new Minnesota Vikings in a deal for quarterback George Shaw, The deal was engineered as the NFL's annual meeting came to a with announcement that, the will play 'a 14-game schedule next season, an increase of two games per team. (Minnesota Dallas, i which became the league's 13th member last year, will operate as "swing" teams, playing each other twice and meeting each of the other 12 teams once.

Dallas was a "swing" team in 1960, but was placed in the Western Conference standings. The 1961 Conference affiliations of Dallas and Minnesota will be decided next week, commissioner Rozelle said. Wade, who blasted the Rams' bosses in a post-sea- son interview, may wind up in the same situation that he found in Los Angeles. The onetime Vanderbilt star, a 1952 bonus pick and heir to the Los Angeles No. 1 quarterback job when Norm Van Brocklin was trad to the Philadelphia Eagles in 1958, found himself sharing the job this season with Frank Ryan.

Wade didn't like it just as Van Brocklin hadn't liked sharing the job with Wade-and said so "I am not interested in sitting on the bench," Wade said. "I want to be the No. 1 quarterback from the opening day of tram- ing. I do not believe in the two-quarterback system." The Bears now have 3 quarterbacks Wade, Ed Brown and Zeke Bratkowski. The latter two have divided the job with disappointing ever since Brown a the whole show in 1956 when the Bears won the Western title.
