COURTNEY SETS WORLD MARK Half-Mile Ace Thrills 43.955 Track Fans set a new world record In the 2-mile relay, an event not too prominent in track and field meet s. The miracle-mile held Ihe spotlight until Courtney cut loose anyhow. And while Lundy's record of 3:58 was not threatened, nor was tin 4-minute time shaved, I In' four runners from abioad gave the fans great competitive race. Lincoln won handily with closing rush from 200 yards out that put England's Brian Hew son in second place, with a time of 4:01.4. Lits.lo Tubori, Hungary's great distance man, took third In 1:01.0, Mid Derek Ibbotson ol England, Ihe pro-race favorite, faded to third niter using up Ids strength wiling the pare for three and a half laps.

His time was 1:02.1. America's rhullengers offered little competition, although Jerome Wallers and Joe Villareal were in early contention. We all forgot about the clock. Everybody was just trying to win, Lincoln explained. Running a miles In four minute is superhuman effort, not something' easy like buttering a piece of bread.

Courtney, formerly of Fordham, and, like Sowell, now in the Army, broke the world mark of 1:47.5 set in 1955 by Lon Spurrier, ex-California runner. Bobby Morrow of Abilene Christian easily whipped mediocre field in the 100-yard dash with a time of 9.4.

When they fought last, June 8 at Madison Square Garden, a crowd of 11,255 paid $06,038 to see Patterson win a split decision in 12 rugged rounds.

Cal Regents To Act On Withdrawal CLAUDE NEWMAN SA YS: Car Builder Works A Miracle If you have money, and still won't take chances, auto racing is not for you. Probably the most expensive gamble in sports is the one made when a sportsman builds a racing automobile for the Indianapolis 300-mile classic held each Memorial Day. It's a moot question whether the rewards justify the expenditure of from $25,000 to $35,000 for a car which in the 1 winkling of an eye can become junk, even before the race which lias to won to really pay off heavily. A good many accidents happen in trial spins and in qualifying, any one of which can be costly to the gambling sportsman who has staked a lot of money on the mechanical beauty he has had built. Sometimes a car is smashed in practice and a miracle happens.

Apparently this was the case for Johnnie Parsons of Van Nuys, the 1950 winner of an abbreviated 500-mile race who is among the weekend go-fast tourists again trying for a starting berth in this years classic, Leastwise John Parkinson of Indianapolis reports that a miracle was wrought hy Eddie Kuzma of Gardena, after a mishap suffered by Parsons recently. To put it briefly, Parsons slid the expensive car into the i University of California officials faced pressure from the board of regents today for early action on request that UCLA Ih- fXt'irnIlid to leave the Pacific Coast Con-ference.

Watching Roundy tee up his ball, from left, are Don Carlson, Jerry Wunderlich, Bill Kirwan, Robert Boudreau, John OBrian, Charles E. Branson, Bob Pringle and Hamp Vanderburg, association president.

The car was totally wrecked, Parkinson reports, and it seemed all the drudgery, planning and hard work of long months wont up ihe chimney for Kuzma, Ihe race ear builder who is such a genius with racing machinery. Under normal conditions the builder of an Indianapolis car takes months to construct a racing job suited lo the track surface and able to compete in this fastest of company. This was the case for Kuzma when he put together Parsons mount in Gardena, the job taking all winter and spring. Then, in a flash, fate struck a cruel blow and the car apparently was totally wrecked.

Rebuilding Job Miracle worker Kuzma wasn't about to accept this verdict after a phone call which caught him at his home. He hopped an airliner and in Indianapolis conferred with the car's chief mechanic, Frank McGurk. They found it a terrible mess, bent frame, crashed body panels and broken parts. A discouraging prospect, this, but five days later miracle man Kuzma and his crew completely rebuilt the car which was wheeled up to I 111- Mobil Fuels Development Center for a tankful of high-performance racing mixture, nosed out on the track, worn off (Ilf pace but points behind Vancouver.

Earl Harrist had a three hitter going lor the Solons when his arm stiffened in the seventh and Milo Candini came in to fin ish the job. San Diego's Hank Aguirre spaced five hits to give the Padres their win.

Jack Phillips, Seal third baseman, got three of them, including a homer, which accounted for the lone San Francisco score. Poll land moved to within two runs of the Angels after Jenkins big blow but Olson came off the bench in the eighth to pound out the final four-run four-bagger and clinch the game. Luis Marquez and Ed VVinceniak homered for Portland. Agajanians car is one of the small, lightweight type roadsters where the driver sits well down in the car.
