The 10 flat equals the world record, although Americans--Jim Hines, Charlie Green and Ronnie Kay Smith--have 9.9' up for recognition. The 100-yard mark is 9.1.

Sparked by fancy-stepping Teddy the John Toppa-coached Vikings have made a good showing in their two wins, the round' robin decision over Middletown and the league victory over Warwick Veterans High: A year ago Rogers buried the Kilties under a 47 -20 score. The Mount lost to strong Durfee High, 18 -6, last Saturday, so the Providence team probably is tougher than a year ago. Bob Carpenter, who broke loose on 58 and teven yard TD rambles last year against Rogers, has been switched from quarterback to end. He scored the Kil- ties' only touchdown in the Durfee loss by grabbing a pass from Jim Campanini, the toss and run good for 49 yards. Earlier in the game Campanini and Carpenter had teamed youngster, Quarrie, a who has done 10.3.

The Newport team would like nothing better than a 2-0 league record going into their contest a week from Saturday with one of the giants of the big school circuit, Cranston East.

This game also will be played at Freebody Park in the morning. GOOD CATCHING supposedly is a must for a championship baseball club. But Edwards Sports Store won the Sunset League, despite shabby backstopping. Fifteen errors and a dozen passed balls were charued against Ehvards' catchers in 29 games. Charley Hanringlon, in 17 games, and Jerry Almeida, in 12, did most of the catching, but in all Edwards used five players in this position.

Slugging outfielder John Maltezos was in two games and pitcher Ted Rempsey, who didn't do a bad job, was in five late season contests. Several times two catchers were in the same games Harrington batted .344, but like teammate Joe Santos and John Marsden and Dennis Brightman of the New Bedford Club, he did not have enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title. Often Sunset League catchers have been credited with furnishing confidence and sagacity needed for success. This was true of the Merchants' John Moore, the league's MVP a few years ago. and in the league's earlier days such catchers as John F.A.

Sullivan, Stewart Leary, Morganroth and Jim Martland were among the acknowledged smart receivers. This reporter, in looking back on old Sunset League records, is always struck by the line in the 1920 records, "J.F. A. Sullivan of the Braves caught 31 runners stealing and picked 10 off the bases." In the past season two teams stole only 20 -odd bases, so even a day Sullivan would not have a chance to cut down runners with such abandon. PRIORY SCHOOL has only a handful of returning regulars, but Coach Ralph Hewitt reports that the team is "in good shape" because of the large turnout of 36 candidates.

There are several good prospects from last year's junior varsity. John Mooney, a quarterback, and Marvin George, a swift running halfback, are former Jayvees quite certain of regular status. From last year's starters the Portsmouth prep school has tackles Herb Moloney and Raggazzino; end Terry McGuirk and Halfback Kevin Kresock. McGuirk is one of the Rayens top all -round athletes. Second high scorer on Priory's state prep school basketball champions of 1968 with a 12.8 game average, Terry was picked on the all state prep and Newport County cage teams.

In baseball he played third base and batted in the cleah -up spot. Dean of Aquidncck Island coaches, Hewitt played football under Lou Little at Columbia and played in the Rose Bowl The Priory schedule follows: Kept. 28 -at Pomfrct; Oct. 5- at Moses Brown; Oct. 12 -at Roxbury Latin; Oct.

The PGA again agreed to an earlier proposal for a commit- composed of members of tie hree groups with complete au- Jiority to run the tour. Although the earlier proposal was rejected by the players, the sponsors are hopeful the players will reconsider the proposal or come up with a similar suggestion that can be negotiated. Although Sam Gates, attorney for the players, said he would discuss with the players what went on at the meeting, he said he would take no definite proposal back to them. A main reason the players jturneri down the first committee proposal was because it included having sponsors on the committee to run the multi million dollar tour. The PGA currently sets tour policies.

The players feel they should have a greater voice in those policies and have threatened to set up their own tour. With that in mind they formed the American Professional Golfers that includes the top name players on the tour. i The sponsors, meanwhile, are mght in the middle, being orced to choose between the 15 wo groups if no settlement is cached.
