THIS GREATEST of all sports carnivals still has more than a week to go and the chances are that the United States will equal or surpass its achievement of 14 track and field gold in the 1952 games. Even in other competition A Jackson (Mich.) airman, 18-year-old Michael E. Conner, was described out of danger in a Holyoke (Mass.) hospital after being injured in a boxing bout Monday night.

Did you know (radio-television dept.) That pro hockey and pro basketball will be TV rivals in Detroit on Saturday afternoons this winter.

Conner was knocked out 10 seconds after the bell ending the second round in the four-round bout with Kid Chick, another featherweight. After being revived Conner was permitted to finish the final two rounds. He collapsed in his dressing room shortly after the bout. The Massachusetts Boxinjr Commission will meet Wednesday to determine whether any action is to be taken. Referee Myer Cohen was unable to separate the two boxers who apparently did not hear the bell ending the round.

Chick received a unanimous decision. An attending physician said Conner may have suffered a brain concussion. Physicians at the hospital, however, refused to disclose the nature of the injury. Hot Stove Baseball Roy Campanella, who caught only 124 games last season and hit a trifling .219, will enter a Brooklyn hospital Wednesday to undergo surgery for the removal of bone chips from his right thumb. The 35-year-old Brooklyn catcher batted .318 the previous season and was voted the league's most valuable player.

Fee Wee Reese, captain of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the National League's oldest player from a service standpoint, has signed his 1957 contract at a figure close to $40,000, it was announced by General Manager J. Bavasi. Rochester, N.

2 farm club. That's Birmingham in the Southern Association. Next big sports shindig you'll be seeing on television 1957 will be a series of 18-hole elimination matches among star golfers like Cary Middlecoff, Sammy Snead, Julius Boros and others. The winner of each match picks up two grand and keeps going until he loses. Already filmed in part, the series is up for grabs right now.

It's on the order of the "Championship Bowling" deal now running. Too Big for Their Stadiums? INSIDERS CLAIM that the real reason Michigan and Ohio State are objecting to the Big Ten's proposed round-robin football schedule is because their stadiums are too big. How's that again? Just that if the round-robin (every team plays every other one each year) is adopted, it would mean Michigan and Ohio would get to play only four or five home games a season. You don't set attendance records that way. Quarterback Paul Hornung, of Notre Dame, was paid his greatest tribute when the pros went into their draft session.

His team already had lost seven games with one more to go and yet he was the first man to be drafted from the '5G crop. It's an even-money bet that Lions' coach Buddy Parker will get some letters this week wanting to know if the only reason he made Bill Glass, All-American guard, his first draft choice was because Bill played his college ball at Bavlor in the wonderful state of you-know-what. ill iSfJ Delightfvl a Martini Screwdriver Bloody Mary Orer-The-Rockx wiih Ginger Ale, yCola, Tonie or Straight.

That Tyson fathered foot-' ball's officiating signals. Ty started it by asking referees to give him personal signals about fouls. Fans caught onto the code and liked the extra information, too. Then the signals became standardized and part of the formal rules book. That Al Nagler has been doing the play-by-play radio broadcast of Red Wing games since 1935, except for the five years he was in the Air Corps.

That hockey telecaster Budd Lynch passed out cigars (yes, a sponsor's brand) for the fifth time last Saturday. All five are daughters. That Fred Wolf's handling of television bowling shows has gained him a filmed network series. Fred was offered a similar golf show now being filmed in Arizona for TV next summer, but turned it down to stay with his morning disc jockey shift. Jim Britt got the job.

SHORT STUFF Joel Jones never will piay lootDau again. The powerful Michigan State junior tackle, who held a pro. future, injured his knee so severely that doctors will not permit him to return to the gridiron. Both Central Michigan and Eastern Michigan may drop out of the Interstate Conference by another year. Central is eying the MidAmerican Conference, which now lists Western Michigan.

Floyd stopped Willie in five rounds, (Then the IBC really put the "freeze" on Flovd. "I don't say It was the organization," D'Amato hedges, "but I couldn't do business with the people whom they had talk to me."

The Eli, weary but jubilant, skimmed across the finish line three-quarters of a length in front of Canada at Lake Wendouree. KURT SEIFFERT, 110-pound-er from Rochester, had a hand in another United States victory, riding as coxswain for the winning pair of Art Ayrault and Conn Findlay.

The jubilation was clouded by the personal disappointment of Jack Kelly, the sculler from Philadelphia. In his third and last Olympic try he failed to match his father's triumph of 1920. With the conclusion of the weightlifting competition, in which Russia was believed strong before the games opened, the Americans took four championships all record performances to three for the Soviet strongmen.

THE UNITED STATES basketball team, still undefeated and regarded as a cinch for the championship, breezed through an 85-44 semifinal game against Bulgaria and prepared to face Brazil. As boxing picked up momen- turn, two Americans hung up second round victories.
