10 M.y 18, EAST D. M. AGAIN FAVORED Records in Five Events Endangered The annual Big Six Conference track meet will be held Saturday with West Waterloo to be the host school and the meet to be held on the Iowa State Teachers College track at Cedar Falls. The entire meet will be held in the afternoon with prcliminarie starting at 1 o'clock. Scoring will be on an 8-6-4-2-1 basis in the relays and 6-4-3-2-1 basis in individual events.

As in the past, it will be five schools against East Des Moines. The Scarlets own all of the track title in the Big Six since the conference was formed and that means 15 to date. Scattered Strength Manpower counts in a meet where there is a full slate of individual events as well as relays and that's what East lot of track talent scattered in all events. Coach Bill Moore of Mason City will take 24 athletes to the meet and the Mohawks hope to be no worse than third in fact they could be in the runnerup spot. Having copped the Mohawk Relays and the class AA district crown at Charles City, Mason City has shown enough power to be a contender.

The strength is concentrated in a few events and that could be an advantage or disadvantage depending upon the split of points by other schools. Fort Dodge, for example, has a weak team except in the pole vault and half-mile events. West Waterloo is below par this year. But East Waterloo is considerably stronger and figures to be the No. 1 school in the field events where they have sure plncewinners in the broad jump, high jump, pole vault, football throw, shot put and discus.

Close Third in 1955 Last year East D.M. won the title with 101 points, North D.M. was second with 74Mi and Mason City was third with the latter total being the most points the Mohawks have scored in a Big Six meet. This year North has some outstanding boys like Ralph Lyle and can put together some crack relay teams but the Polar Bears can't distribute the talent enough to be a real threat. Much of the Mason City hopes will ride on the efforts of Bob Okerstrom and Joe Mentink.

Okerstrom will go after championships in the high and low hurdles and football throw. He will be clashing with Bill Orris of East D.M. in 'both hurdles races. They are two of the top four hurdlers in the state with Okerstrom owning the best time in the highs ana Orris the best mark in the lows. And Merril Siler of East Waterloo, although beaten twice by Okerstrom, has a better throw.

mark in the football Sprint Favorite Mentink is the favorite to win both the 100 and 220-yard dash. Zip Hansen should place in the discus and the same goes for Joe Bryant in the high jump and possibly the shot put. Relays count heavily and the Mohawks will make their big bid for championships in the 440 and 880-yard events. The Des Moines schools rank as the 1-2 favorites in the medley, mile and 2 mile relay events. The best chances for new marks are in the high and low hurdles (Okerstrom and Orris), high jump Hutchins of East Waterloo), 880-yard run (Lyle) and pole vault (Dick Dotson of 'East Waterloo and Larry Dunscombe of Fort Dodge).

Figure Needles for Slow Start in Preakness BALTIMORE WV-How far and how fast Needles will have to come in about the last quarter of a mile in order to catch the leaders seems to be the main question Covering over Saturday's $100 000 Preakness. It is being taken for granted that the Kentucky Derby winner will be at the tail-end of the probable eight 3-year-old starters through the early stages of the mile and three-sixteenths race. The Pimlico bam strategists, and that includes the handlers of Needles, figure that Calumet Farm's Fabius, D. G. Arnstein's Eiffel Blue, W.

E. Brill's No Regrets and Winding Way Farm's Golf Ace will be leading the way. The debate is over how fast they will be going when they hit the stretch and how far Needles will be behind. On past performances, the second flight along with Needles is expected to include Dino Lozzi's Count Chic, Helen W. KelJogg's Come On Red and H.

Jenkins Quits Amateurs for Pro Skating By Wire Services With no fields eft to conquer and a law school education to pay for, Hayes Alan Jenkins abandoned amateur fig- irc skating Friday to become the ugh-salaried star of a touring ce show. "There was nothing more to win in competitive skating," the 23-year-old world and Olympic tillist said. "It's time for me to stand on my own feet in a financial way." The contract he signed Thursday should give him a fairly sturdy prop.

Jenkins declined to reveal its specific terms but a show spokesman said it would nc the Colorado Springs, star about $1,500 weekly. Jenkins expects to tour for a east three summers during vacations from Harvard, where he wil enroll in the fall. He receives a degree in Economics from Colorado College this spring, lie predicted his 19-year-old Brother Dave would pick up where he left off and win the next Olympic figure skating title. Dave finished third in the 1956 vinler Oimypics behind his brother and Ronnie Robertson, who already has turned pro. Qualifying Laps for 500-Mile Run Set for Saturday INDIANAPOLIS W) The field or the 40th 500-mile auto race May 30 will be determined by 10- milc trials Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Missing from the entries this year are Jerry Hoyt, who won the pole position last year; Jack McGrath, who set a qualifying record of 142.58 miles per hour, and Bill Vukovich, Indianapolis winner in 1954 and 1953. All three have died in racing accidents in the last year, Vukovich while leading the 500 in 1955. Vukovich's 1954 record of 131.68 miles per hour for the actual race still stands. It's a hazardous game but the field is dominated by men who have survived years of racing. Paul Russo of Inglewood, who ran an unofficial practice lap at 14G.6 Wednesday in a new Novi, is a 42-year-old veteran of 10 Indianapolis races.

Sam Hanks of Burbank, who has been practicing over 144 m.p.h. also has started 10 Indianapolis classics. Tony Bettcn- hausen of Tinley Park, 111., practicing in the same bracket, is a nine-time 500 starter. Bob Sweikert of Indianapolis, the 1955 winner, is back for his fifth start with a new four-cylinder Kuzma car called the D-A Lubricant Special. Standings in Minors WESTERN LEAGUE W.
