(A.P.). Duke's Dave Sime ran the fastest 220 yards in history tonight as he smashed the world record and bettered his own previous record breaking performances with a time of 20 seconds flat in the Central California AAU association track and field meet. Minutes earlier Sime had tied the world record in the 100-yard dash and the navy's Jack Davis had done the same in the 120-yard high hurdles.

Sime's time in the cen-tury was 9.3 seconds and Davis New Rochelle, N. Y. (Pi. Gene Littler shot his fourth straight winning round at Wyk- agyl yesterday and came as near as possible to making a runaway ot the loth round robin tourna ment. Easily withstanding the chal lenge of chunky Ted Kroll, Littler shot 34-34-b8 in the fourth round over the 6527-yard, par 37-3572 flashed over the hurdles in 13.5.

Official world record for the Mile Record for a total of plus 50 in the point scoring. Kroll, the only one near him in the field of 16 selected pros, tired 35-32 67 his second straight in the 60's and actually lost ground in the race for the $3000 top money. In four rounds. Littler has shot 69-69-68-6824, an amazingly consistent performance over the hilly, rather tricky Wykagyl course. And he has beaten 11 of the 12 players he has faced so far in this man-against-man competition.

Kroll, only a stroke back of Littler in the 72-hole medal scores, hasn't been as fortunate in the kind of opposition he has met and has only 32 plus points. His 67 today v. as only good for a plus 14 count, as compared to Littler's 16. Kroll faced Maxwell, Jack Burke and Peter Thomson, all of whom had respectable scores. Littler was up against wild-shooting Bob Rosburg, who made a strong comeback with a 69, and Art Wall, who had a 73.

At the end of the round. Man-grum told the young Californian: "I picked Cary Middlecoff to win the open, but now I've got to do with you." We're going to have to revise our opinion of Floyd Patterson as a "new Joe Louis." There isn't a doubt in our mind the 21-year-old former world Olympic champion has more natural talent than any heavyweight we've seen in our lifetime but we are wondering if he has enough "killer instinct" to be-. come a truly great fighter. Patterson's performance against the tireless Hurricane Jackson was a disappointment to his many followers. Too often he allowed Jackson to get off the hook.

In fact, some boxing experts are wondering if Floyd's punches are as potent as has been reputed. Certainly Louis in his early days would not have allowed Jackson to get away after being stunned. Louis could punch as fast as Patterson, but he lacked his fleetness afoot yet there were few men who got away after being tagged by the Brown Bomber. Of course, Jackson's supporters will claim it was his great ability to withstand a punch and his tremendous stamina which saved him from a knockout. Then again, Patterson's hand injury may have slowed his punching power.

We would be inclined to go along with the theory of Jackson's ability to absorb punishment if we hadn't seen Nino Valdes lay him out with little or no trouble. The huce Cuban has never been considered a great puncher. Part of Patterson's trouble, in our book, stems from his manager, Cus Amato. Amato, who is known as "Cautious Cus" in the trade, apparently advised Floyd to cover up during the first two minutes and then spurt in the final 60 seconds. And, while you can't complain about victory, we thought the strategv was poor.

"Cautious Cus" does just the opposite of what most fight managers are accused of doing. He constantly under-matches his protege. The fact is that Jackson was the first legitimate heavyweight Patterson has ever fought. Amato was 'smart in bringing Patterson along slowly but we are wondering if his cautious nature has rubbed off on Floyd. There is one fact in Patterson's favor which shouldn't be overlooked.

He is still a youngster at 21 and isn't a true heavyweight as his weight (1T8 pounds) shows. If he continues to grow he could become a great puncher where, as an overgrown light heavyweight, his punches misht lack steam. Personally, we are of the opinion that Archie Moore, if he hasn't gone too far back, will beat Patterson. If old Archie ever hits Flovd in the middle of tossing one of those gazelle right hands he is fond of throwing TV viewers could find the voungster sailing right through the picture tube. Bob Cardiff, son of Darrell Cardiff of 203 May avenue, is one of 12 California Poly baseball players who received varsity awards this past week.

Cardiff is a sophomore biological science major at the small San Luis Obisoo school. 220 is 20.2 seconds by Southern California's Mel Patton in 1949. Earlier this year Sime had run a 20.1. Sime beat Fresno State's Mike Agostini in the furlong as he had done previously in the 100. Mike was timed in 20.4, off the 20.1 he also had registered earlier this year.

Officials said the aiding wind in all three races was within permissible limits. Agostini beat Sime out of the blocks in both the 100 and the 220 and both times the Duke sprinter caught him prior to the midway point. In the 100, Agostini led for 35 yards and in the 220 Sime took over after 65 yards. He finished one-half yard ahead in the 100 and five yards ahead in the furlong, In the hurdles, Davis was pressed by Duke's Joel Shankle who was timed in 13. 7.

The winner, formerly of USC and now an officer in the navy at San Diego, previously had a best time of 13.6, but he hadn't equalled the world mark set in 1950 by-Dick Attlesey, also a former USC athlete. Davis shot out at the start and seemed to pick up speed as the race progressed. He didn't tip a hurdle. Earlier this year Sime had equalled the world mark of 9.3 for the 100 set in 1948 by Patton. Last week he did it again at Stockton, but the wind that night was 4.75 rn.p.h., above the limit of 4.473.

Sime said the Sanger high school clay track here is the fastest on which he's ever run. Is Broken By Swaps, 1:33.2 Hollywood Park The mighty Swaps thundered to a new world's record for the mile in winning the Argonaut handicap here vesterday. His time was 1:33 15. Bobby Brocate, in second place, was beaten by a length. Porterhouse, who nipped Swaps two weeks ago in the Californian, was third.

Swaps picked up the winner's share of $29,750 of the $52,550 purse. The big California-bred colt paid $2.40, $2.20 and S2.10 across the board. Bobby Brocato returned $2.80 for second and $2.30 for show. Porterhouse paid $2.30 for show. Jockey Willie Shoemaker took the Rex Ellsworth colt from the rail position to a wire-to-wire victory, Bobby Brocato held on most of the way but could not match the 1955 Kentucky derby winner's tremendous pace in the stretch.

Shoemaker, who took the blame for Swaps' loss in the when he eased up in the stretch, was not to be caught napping yesterday. Turning for home, he threatened Swaps with the whip but did not actually use it. The new record bettered ths mark of 1:33 35 set by Citation at Golden Gate Fields in 1950. Breaking around the club house turn. Swaps held a three-quarter length lead over Bobby Brocato and Helbush Farm's Poona II.

Swaps held it around the back stretch but Bobby Brocato closed to a half at the far turn as Poona began to fade. Turning for home, however, Swaps really poured on the coal. Bobby Brocato, who was a well beaten fourth in the California, threatened all the way into the stretch. Jocky Johnny Longden, riding Mr. and Mrs.

T. M. Kerr's prized 5-year-old Bobby Brocato, urged his mount on, but he could not match the blistering speed and iew oik. IJilly lHil.n, Board Of Regents Decides Elk Yanks Win Upset Victory Over Red Sox Things are looking up for the Elk Yankees. Manager Hank Leibbrandt's crew closed the gap between themselves and the high-riding Native Sons with an upset, 5-3, victory over the Red Sox Friday afternoon.

The defeat, the Native Sons' first of the season, left them only one-half game in front of the onrushing Yankees. Alvin McCommon was the game hero as he smacked a three-run homer in the fifth to provide the difference, plus pitching fine ball for four innings. Steve Smith finished the final two innings and was nicked for two of the Sox's three markers. The Moose Dodgers moved back into the thick of the National leaeue race with a 5 3 win Yankees' second baseman, beats tag by Earl Averill Indians' catcher, to score on steal from third in second inning at Yankee stadium here yesterday. Martin was on third with his triple and broke for home on pitch by Cleveland hurler Mike tiarcia.

Gil McDougald, standing, helped things afong by swinging at the high pitch.
