P. AUSTRALIANS MAY BE HIT athletics Sun Special storm brewing in the amateur may affect Australians now studying in the Among the Australians concerned are swimmers Rex Aubrey, John Marshall and Garrick Agnew, and runner Morris Curotta. Aubrey Marshall Agnew Curotta "Professionalism" charge The trouble has been stirred up as a result of scholarship offers by American universities to British distance star Gordon Pirie. The American AAU are seriously concerned by the state of affairs revealed by a recent inquiry on American Mal Whitfield. Whitfield starred at the 1948 Olympic Games.

Whitfield recently was accused of "professionalan ism" after tour. British AAA secretary Crump said at USAAU the weekend. "The do not look with favor on the entry of foreign athletes into American universities. "Breaking of amateur law" "They are considering whether these offers amount to inducements which break the letter and spirit of the amateur law." AAA president and high Olympic official Lord Burghley commented on the Pirie offers, "I feel very strongly. "It is quite clear in the rules that an amateur shall not receive, directly or indirectly, any reward in connection with his performance as an athlete." Australian athletes who have recently taken HARTWIG DEFEATS SEIXAS ADELAIDE, Rex Hartwig beat American Vic Seixas in quarterfinal of the SA tennis championships today.

Kurfords FROM 45 VALUE Diamond, 112 MARKET ST. SYDNEY. Playing brilliantly, Hartwig won 5-7, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2. Hartwig will meet Lewis Hoad, of NSW, in the semi-finals. Hoad today beat American Ham Richardson, 6-1, 6-3, 6-2.

From the time Hartwig took an early lead in the second set, some of the heart went out of Seixas' game. He did fight back many times and make some grand recoveries, but there was something lacking. which allowed Hartwig more attacking opportunities than usually come his way. In the first set Hartwig had been worried by cool drink vendors calling their wares, and asked that they be quieted. Rose beaten American Tony Trabert beat Victorian Mervyn Rose in another quarterfinal, 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.

Trabert plays the winner of Ken Rosewall (NSW) V. Bill Talbert (US). Rosewall was leading, 6-3, 6-3, 3-2. Trabert was much too solid for Rose, his attack to the Australian's backhand always being just a little too strong. Rose led 15-40 on Trabert's service in the 10th game of the third set.

But the American ed well to. get back to deuce, and finally win the game and set. Hoad's revenge win over Richardson gave him revenge for the last time they met. That was in the Newport (US) singles in August when Richardson beat Hoad on a wet court. Victorian Miss Jennifer Staley reached the women's singles semifinals by beating Victorian Miss Pam Southcombe, 6-0, 6-3.

MELBOURNE Tuesday. -Wodalla today made his first appearance on the track since winning the Melbourne Cup. He easily ran five furlongs in 1.9 at Flemington.

up scholarships at American Universities include high jumper Doug Stuart and quarter-miler Kevin Gosper. Pirie revealed last week that he was considering offers from three American colleges. They are Georgetown Washington), Oklahoma and "a west coast Talks with representative Pirie started the storm on Saturday night. In a broadcast interview he stated he "had practically decided" to accept one American offer. This is believed to be that from Georgetown, whose representative has had talks with Pirie in England.

Pirie said, "I want to be left alone in peace to decide my future, "If I accept one of their scholarships, I will go to America late this summer, after I have a run in the European championships against Czech Emil Zatopek. "I have not yet decided definitely As an American student Pirie could still run for Britain in the Olympic Games. But the way amateur officials feel just now about his "desertion" he might not be asked. Keith Miller could not bowl in the second innings because of an infected left big toe, caused by his boots. A doctor advised him not to bat or bowl today.

Miller went onto the field wearing an odd pair of boots. Lindwall has: a bad back and bowled only two overs in the second innings. Openers Ken Archer and Harvey scored freely in Queensland's second innings, leaving NSW little chance of an outright win.
