This 6-year-oId lass is one of the Lincoln entrants in the Amateur Championships of roller skating. The Championships will be held in the Capitol City July 4 at the Pershing Auditorium. Yvonne started skating before she was 4 and gan taking lessons when 5 years old. At 6 she is now in the national tournament. In the North-Central Regional meet held in St.

Loui.s earlier this year Yvonne captured first place in the free style and second in the speed competition. These will be her national events. F'or the last 6 months her interest in roller skating has greatly increased. She practices earnestly, which is the basic requirement for national competition, alway.s keeps a running line of chatter going. She is a typical 6-year- old (if there is such a thing).

She plays little games with her mother and fools around on her skates when not doing routines. The minute her skates are laced up, she is out on the floor practicing and ing tricks. Her instructor, Mrs. Ken Sherman, has affectionately dubbed her because she takes a tumble she springs right back up. Mrs.

Sherman says that Yvonne is a hard worker and is very enthusiastic about skating. Yvonne first became interested in competitive skating when her older sister. Chart Sees Another U.S. Win New York The United States should defeat the Soviet Union, 127-109 and 14 first places to 8, in the 4th of their Olympic-style duel track meets next weekend at Stanford University. This would follow the pattern of the previous 3 meets won by the United States and indicates that both countries tend to remain strong in their traditional strong events and weak in the others.

In Moscow, in 1958, the United States won, 126-109 and 14 first places to 8. In 1959 In Philadelphia, the United States won, 127-108 and again 14 first places to 8. Last year in Moscow again, the United States won, 124-111 and 13 first places to 9. The meet is scored on a 5-3-2-1 basis, with each team entering only two athletes in an event. The relays are scored 5-3.

The limit on entries automatically makes for a close score. There are two events in which the Russians possibly could turn the tables and cut the margin almost to a standoff in the 22-event program. They are the hammer throw and the broad jump. Hal Connolly, the world record holder (230-9) declined to make the trip to Moscow last year. In qualifying this year for the meet, he could do no better than 2 And against Poland, his best was 211-2.

The Russians have Yuri Bakari- nov, who has thrown 2 the second-best throw in the world this year, and Alexei Baltovsky, who has a toss of this year. Soviet coach Gabriel Korobkov is particularly high on Baltovsky and expects him to hit 70 meters The other event on which there is a shadow is the broad jump. Igor Ter-Ovanes- yan, who watched Ralph Boston set a world record of 27 -P 4 in Moscow, smashed that mark with a 27-3 jump on June 10. So this will be a battle of the two premier broad jumpers. Boston, who has been concentrating on his studies at Tennessee State, I show'ed he was back in top shape in the meet when he cleared 26-6.

i The Russian women have won all 3 meets. The last two were by 67-40 and 68-39. Both margin were 8-2 events, with the American lasses winning only the 100 meters and 400- meter relay. how it probably will go again. Softball Many MONDAY 7:30 p.m.

Roller Hockey Added Lincoln Hosts yationals July 2.T The national roller hockey tournament will be held in Lincoln this year in conjunction with the American Amateur Roller Skating Championships. The roller hockey segment of the nationals begins July 25 at noon. The regular roller skating tournament begins July 28. Hockey on roller skates is a comparatively sport. Although it has been an established activity for 25 years, roller hockey as an organized and sanctioned sport is only 3 years old.

Roller hockey differs somewhat from ice hockey in that emphasis and credit is given to skill in handling the projectile with the hockey stick instead of an exhibition of brute force. This, however, does not lessen the excitement because there are still the speed, unavoidable collisions and spills of the competition. Roller hockey has long been a big sport in South America, Europe, Jaoan, New Zealand, and Australia. In these countries, the game is played with a hard, dead ball, the same size as a baseball, and a stick that is similar to a field hockey stick. Most U.S.

clubs use this type of e( 4 uipment, but ice hockey sticks and a modified plastic puck are also allowed. Both puck and ball champions will be crow-ned in Lincoln. IRay is 30 minutes long, V4ith a 3-minute rest period. The game is played in two 15 minute periods. If a tie occurs, a 5-minute overtime is allotted.

Most of the rules that govern ice hockey apply to roller hockey, except body contact is severely penalized on the maples. The two final championships will be held Saturday, July 28, after the queen competition and special roller skating show.

They will start around 10:30 p.m. For 2nd Homer Tokyo Larry Doby, two-time American League home run champion, smashed his second homer in Japan Saturday as his ChunichI Dragons defeated the Kokutet- su Swallows 2-0 in Korakuen Stadium.
