(AP Wirepholo) 600 Shivering Contestants Start In Boston Marathon BOSTON (AP) -Snow flurries and a biting north wine faced about 600 shivering 1 contestants today as they slartcc the 71st Boston A. A. Marathon. The field represented virtually walks of lite doctors, educators, clergymen, police officers, farmers, mill hnnd.s, bricklayers, business executives and even a state legislator.

John' Garlcpps of Millrose A.C., New York, took an early lead shortly after leaving the starting point. Stretched out about 100 yards behind were the four-marl Japanese team, four Mexicans and Johnny Kelley oi Groton, Conn. At the first checkpoint in Framingham, miles from Hie start, Antonio Ambr.

High's new coach Harold "Mel" Coogan. Like all coaches of spring sports, "Mel" has been bothered by weather only polar bears might enjoy.

A one-time star performer himself, Coogan has been the town's most ardent track booster for many years. He put on several dazzling New England AAU championship meets at Freebody Park over a decade ago and few track officials have worked so many meets as a volunteer for the love of the sport, not the dollar. St. George's School and De La Salle Academy passed last year for Newport County track honors. Catching these schools this spring will be a lough task, but the Vikings are Irving.

In (the opening meet a comfortable win over Warren last week Dan Carr pul on a brilliant finish and won the 880, passing four runners in the last 100 yards.

St. George's will meet one of its big rivals, Priory School next Wednesday at Portsmouth. Priory's veteran club opened its season today at Providence Country Day.

More than 2.000 high school and prep schools and 500 colleges have soccer teams, yet the average American sports fan knows little about the game, and most sports editors, in devoting space, probably i be guided by the a a al Ihe games.

In the Central Illinois League, a circuit for college players, baiters are automatically awarded first base on Intentional passes, so i is not spent by the pitcbcr in throwing four balls. Pitchers may have courtesy runners snd if a catcher is on base wilh two outs, he may hate a substitute runner and remain in the game.

Then the catcher buckles on his harness and is ready to start, the ncxl half inning without delay. Forty years ago when Dr. Michael V.

Basketball recently banned Ihe stuff shot and college football next year will not allow Interior linemen to charge downtield on punts until the ball has been actually kicked.
