TEN THE SALEM, OHIO, NEWS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1958 Dumas Sets High Jump Record In Olympics Yale Crewmen Suffer Upset U. S. Team Begins To Grab Medals By TED SMITS MELBOURNE UP) Charlie Dumas, a lanky 19-year-old Los Angeles collegian, set a new Olympic high jump mark today as the United States team began to hoard gold medals on the first full day of actual competition. Except for a surprise defeat by the Yale crew in the eight-oared competition at Ballarat, the suspension of a hammer thrower and the barring of two boxers, things ran true to form for the strong American team. Dumas won a dramatic duel with an unheralded Australian in the gathering gloom with a leap of six feet inches one inch short of his own world record of seven feet, one-half inch.

Charles Vinci of York a 23-year-old bantamweight weightlifter, also grabbed a gold medal for Uncle Sam, smashing both the world and Olympic records on the way to a triumph over a Russian Contender. Vladimir Kouts, a sinewy Russian naval officer from the Ukraine, won the 10,000 meter race for his first track and field victory in Olympic history to emphasize that Russia is no idle threat to American supremacy. Although Kouts approach his own unofficial world mark, he broke the Olympic record and official world figure with a smashing performance in 28 minutes, 45.6 seconds. Olga Fikotova of Czechoslovakia, the first track and field gold medal winner, set the style by also breaking the Olympic standard with a mighty toss of 53.69 meters (176 feet inches) in the discus. The old record was broken four times during the competition in which the Russians took three of the first six places.

Earlene Brown, a Los Angeles housewife, surpassed her best previous performance with a toss of 168 feet inches, good for a surprise fourth place. As expected the American stars won in the shorter distances easily. The American trip of Glenn Davis, Eddie Southern and Josh Culbreath marched ahead in the 400-meter hurdles toward semi finals and finals and the strong 800 meter entry of Tom Courtney, Arnie Sowell and Lon Spurrier survived the first heats. In rowing, the major upset of the day was the defeat of a sure thing to make it eight straight Olympic victories in a string started by Navy in 1920. Yale finished behind both Australia and Canada in its heat and must win Saturday to avoid elimination.

United States rowers won their heats in each of the six other events at Lake Wendouree in Ballarat including a single sculls victory by Jack Kelly, of Philadelphia. an eight time American champ but never an Olympic winner. The only unpleasant incidents were the suspension of Cliff Blair, a hammer thrower from Hingham. Mass. for writing articles for a Boston newspaper and the barring of two U.

S. boxers for failure to make weight. Blair was alleged to have violated the amateur code by writing articles, in the form of letters, for a newspaper. However, Sports Editor Jerry Nason of the Boston Globe insisted in Boston that Blair was merely writing personal let- ters and was getting no pay. Choken Maokawa of Hawaii, a bantamweight boxer, and Harry Smith of New York, a feather, were ruled out of the Olympics because they were barely over the weight.

It was a severe blow to hopes of repeating its 1952 success in boxing. An appeal to move Maokawa to the feather class and replace Smith was rejected Bowling Scores LADIES BUCKEYE LEAGUE Bowl Hopefuls Will Seek Stronger Positions Saturday MEN IN A HURRY Ned Oldham, left, top halfback, breaks out full sail with his one game season Army now in view.

Big 10 Title May Be Split Saturday CHICAGO The Big Ten football championship can be split up Saturday or go outright to Rose Bowl bound Iowa as the conference campaign ends. Iowa finished its Big Ten campaign 'last week, defeating Ohio Buckeyes, who had won 17 league games in a row, 6-0.

It gave the Hawkeyes a 5-1 record. This can be duplicated by Ohio State, thus providing co champions, if the Bucks can defeat their traditional foe, Michigan, in a showdown at Columbus, Ohio. If Michigan wins, the Wolverines will wind up with a 5-2 report card and Ohio State with 4-2, giving Iowa its first outright title since 1927. A Michigan victory also would give Minnesota a chance to take second place. The Gophers, who were tied by Northwestern earlier in a scoreless battle, close out at Wisconsin against the Badgers who are winless in the Big Ten with four losses and two ties.

A Gopher decision would leave Minnesota with a 5-1-1 mark. Iowa polishes off its regular campaign as host to Notre Darne. The Irish, doomed to their worst season in history with a 2-6 so far, can do much to salvage some prestige by upsetting the Big Ten pride. In other games Indiana (1-4) is at Purdue (0-4-2 in the Old Oaken Bucket feud and Illinois (1-3-2) invades Northwestern (2-3-1) for another traditional test. Michigan State (4-2) winds up entertaining Kansas State and should have a frolic.

The oddsmakers call Illinois- Northwestern and Ohio State Michigan toss ups. They favor Minnesota by 7 points over Wisconsin. Purdue by 10 over Indiana, Iowa by 13 over Notre Dame and Michigan State by 27 over Kansas State. Weightlifter Wins Gold Medal For U. S.

MELBOURNE Vinci of York, Pa. won the first gold medal for the United States in the Olympic Games today when he broke the Olympic and world record in winning the bantamweight class of the weightlifting competition.

Olympic Tearn Member Is Suspended MELBOURNE Cliff Blair, giant hammer thrower from Hingham, today was suspended from the U.S. Olympic'team in the most drastic action since star swimmer Eleanor Holm was expelled from the 1936 team. Blair, 27-year old Boston University student who placed second in the U.S. Olympic trials, was suspended for of the amateur which forbids an amateur to write for a newspaper. Nelson Metcalf, member of the executive board of the U.S.

Olympic Committee, said Blair violated the code by writing for a Boston newspaper despite frequent warnings. Metcalf spoke for AAU Executive Secretary Dan erris, who is hospitalized with pneumonia. Kenneth Wilson, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee, said: definitely violated the rules, he was given every opportunity to make himself right with the team but he In 1936 Miss Holm was booted off the team for breaking training rules enroute to Berlin in what became known as the celebrated champagne case. Blair, who has a pending American hammer throw record of 216 feet 434 inches, be reached immediately for comment.

But in Boston sports editor Jerry Nason of the Boston Globe and a long-time friend of Blair said: is merely writing personal letters to me. He is getting absolutely no pay and there has been no arrangement for him to be paid in the Metcalf said Blair was first warned about his outside writing activities in September. was warned later in Los Angeles, then in Hawaii and again after we got Metcalf added. continued to defy us and sent in the articles.

DeMarco, Ortega To Box Tonight NEW YORK (JV-Tony DeMarco, the former welterweight champion from Boston, appears at Madison Square Garden tonight for the first time in five years to take on Gaspar (Indian) Ortega, a tough little Mexican, in a 10-round match. Since failing to regain his title from Carmen Basilio a year ago, the 24-year-old DeMarco has won four in a row from Wallace (Bud) Smith, former lightweight king, Arthur Persley, Vince Martinez and Kid Gavilan, the ex-welter champ. DeMarco is a knockout puncher with a chilling left hook while Ortega never has been stopped in 42 professional fights. Ranked No.

1 challenger by both Ring Magazine and the National Boxing Association, DeMarco still has hopes of a third match with Basilio who knocked him out twice. Ortega is a lanky Mexican who has won four of six this year. His lifetime record is 35-7 with 15 knockouts. DeMarco is a heavy favorite in the 10-round main event that will be carried on NBC radio and TV starting at 9 p.m. (CST).

Moore, Patterson To Be Examined CHICAGO UP) Light heavyweight king Archie Moore, looking trim and ready, and lithe Floyd Patterson were to appear before the Illinois Athletic Commission today for the formality of a pre-fight medical examination. Moore and the 21-year-old Patterson meet next Friday night at Chicago Stadium for the heavyweight title vacated seven months ago when Marciano announced his retirement. Patterson planned to rest today after the examination. He boxed four rounds Thursday before sitting down to a turkey dinner. Moore also boxed four rounds, making a total of 50 since he set up his training camp in Chicago.

By DON WEISS The Associated Press Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Texas Christian, Pitt, Clemson, and even four-times beaten Duke renew their push toward bowl invitations tomorrow in the last big college football Saturday. The Vols from Tennessee face a triple challenge. The rich plum of a Sugar or Cotton Bowl invitation, first place in the Southeastern Conference and, conceivably, top ranking in the Associated nationwide poll will be dangling before them as they meet Kentucky. Tennessee, winner of eight straight, has slipped to second place nationally behind Oklahoma after a week as No. 1 in the AP ratings.

After their Southern feuds with Georgia Tech and Mississippi the last two weeks, the Vols might find always tough Kentucky difficult to handle. Should they falter, either Tech or Florida would be pleased to assujne the conference leadership. Tech. which may get the other of the bowl assignments Tennessee take, runs into fast-improving Florida itself, which is a bowl ineligible because of probationary status but still has a shot at the conference championship. Texas Christian, with the inside track to the host spot in the Cotton Bowl with Texas A ineligible, plays Rice in a Southwest Conference feature, and Pitt, leading eastern candidate for a major bowl along with Syracuse, meets capable Penn State.

In the Atlantic Coast Conference, Clemson (3-0-1) plays Virginia and Duke (3-1) is at North Carolina to continue the three-way scramble, with South Carolina for representation against Colorado of the Big Seven in the Orange Bowl. South Carolina passed its latest test Thanksgiving day by defeating Wake Forest 13-0 to run its conference record to 5-2. Oklahoma, a non-bowler because of the Big no repeat rule, will have to content itself with making Nebraska its 39th straight victim.

Bundled against icy winds and snow flurries, a crow'd of 17,000 saw a tightly played first half end with the slightly favored UC Bearcats leading 7-6. But Miami's Redskins, led by Dean Porter and Tom Dimitroff, combined an overpowering ground game with a few passes to smother Cincinnati in tie last two periods.
