Owens Is Reluctant to Accept
Patton, La BeachSprintTimes
MEL PATTON AND DAUGHTER SUSAN.
—AP Wirephoto.
By th# Associated Pres*
CHICAGO, May 19. — Jesse
Owens, once the fastest human
In the world. Isn’t certain whether
he will bestow that title yet to
either Southern California’s Mel
Patton or Panama-pledged Lloyd
La Beach.
At Fresno, Calif., last Saturday,
Patton was clocked over the 100
yard route in a world record
shattering 0:09.3 and La Beach
equaled the world 100-meter rec
ord of 0:10.2.
"I want to see those boys run
in this part of the country, be
fore I draw any conclusions,”
slyly grinned the sleek, .34-year
old Negro, who burned up the
Olympic track at Berlin in 1936.
Owens shares the 0:09.4 record
bettered by Patton and also the
0:10.2 world mark equaled by La
Beach.
“Mind you, I’m not saying that
the boys weren’t sharp. The con
ditions just right and the clock
ing accurate,” said Jesse, who
says he still can whiz 100 yards
under 10 seconds. (This he often
does in exhibitions as an added
attraction to Abe Saperstein’s
traveling Negro baseball teams.
"But I guess you get a little
skeptical over things you don't
see yourself.”
As for a Midwest glimpse of
the two West Coast flyers, La
Beach won't be around—he will
represent the Republic of Pana
ma in the Olympics—but there'll
be plenty of chance for Owens to
see Patton in action.
Patton is due to compete in
the national collegiates at Min
neapolis next month, undoubt
edly qualifying for the Olympic
final trials at Evanston, 111.,
July 9-10.
Maximum of 76 Seen
To Make Top Flight
At Indian Spring
Host Pro Mel Shorey predicted
somebody would break par of 70 by
at least two strokes, and that it
would require a 76 to qualify for
the championship flight as a field
of 124 teed off today in the Indian
Spring Invitation tournament.
The sun and a brisk wind dried
up the casual water that dotted
the course after recent rains, and:
the layout was pronounced in ex
cellent condition.
With a premium on accuracy due j
to the narrow fairways from 200;
yards out, the favorite’s role fell
to Spencer Overton, the Maryland
State Open champion from Balti- j
more. Washington’s main hope was 1
Ralph Bogart, who won the only
invitation tournament here last
year, at Kenwood.
The host club was expected to
fill at least four places in the title
flight with Volney Burnett, Buddy
Sharkey, Ed Ault and William Mc
Ferren among the favorites.
Two rounds of match play tomor
row and Friday follow today’s
qualifying round.
The members of the Women’s
District Golf Association teed off
In one of their favorite tournaments
today—the Keefer Cup at Chevy
Chase—the only 36-hole medal play
event on the schedule. .
The final 18 holes will be played
tomorrow with the low 32 players
today qualifying for the last round.
Dick Poster, Coolidge High golf
team captain, who has lost only one j
schoolboy match in the last two
years, and Billy D. Wolfe, 14-year
old golfer from Montgomery Hills. [

the second flight last year.

Gil Dodds May Run
In 2 Meets in Day
By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. May 19.—Mile
King Gil Dodds, who thinks
nothing of running the mile
and the 2 miles on the same
program, may try a new twist
next month—appearing in track
meets at Boston and New York
on the same day.
The world indoor record
holder and this country’s chief
hope in the Olympic 1,500 me
ters expects to return to com
petition in the New England j
AAU championships at Boston
June 12.
Noel Harris, manager of a ;
charity meet scheduled at Tri
borough Stadium here the same
day, said Dodds was considering
running in both meets, making
the jump by plane.
Dodds ran an exhibition half
mile at Elmhurst, 111., Saturday,
his first appearance since being
shelved early in the indoor sea
son by an attack of mumps.
C. U/s Unpaid Athletes Take a Deserved Bow
Cards Succeed Without Scholarships; Banquet a Rousing Affair
By Lewis r. Atchison
“The boxing team won four
and lost two,” said Eddie La
Pond, reading from his list of
statistics. “And I might say the
boxing team was particularly
well coached.”
The crowd whooped and hol
lered at that, because everybody
knows the popular director of
athletics at Catholic University
is head coach of the biffing
brigade, too.
“I want to give due credit to
Bingo Stant and Jay Turner,
two former C. U. stars, who
helped with the coaching,” 'La
Pond slyly added.
Eddie’s recitation didn’t take
long, but he was prouder than a
new papa with a set of twins
because the figures proved
Catholic U. didn’t have to buy
athletes to compete with teams
in its own league.
“Don’t get me wrong,” he said
later. “I’d love to be able to
give good athletes scholarships,
but as long as we can’t we’ll
get along with what we have.
“We’ll win our share of games
and keep the students inter
ested.”

Cards defeated Georgetown, 1-0,
in .an 11-inning duel for their
second baseball win over the
Hoyas. And last night’s student
activity banquet was a pleasant,
fast-moving affair, held in the
university dining hall.
Father Ignatious Smith, who
knows a well turned phrase when
uttered, kept things moving at a
lively tempo. Msgr. Patrick J.
McCormick, who demonstrated
that a rector with a keen sense of
humor and a lively interest in
sports 1s no hindrance to a uni
versity, reassured his audience
Zardozo High Crowned

round up yesterday. Cardozo had

ind finished with a total of 55 %
points.
Rudy McGoines was the individ

)nd taking second in the 220-yard
lash. He also ran on the winning
naif-mile relay team. Other team
scores behind Cardozo were: Arm

that ’Catholic U. is back in sports
to stay. And when you have a
speaker like Judge Edward M.
Curran, who makes the boys in
the backroom perk up and listen,
the evening's success is doubly
guaranteed.
La Pond’s scoresheet shows the
Cardinal’s won more than their
share of games, chalking up a
winning percentage of .616 in
over-all competition in addition
to winning the conference tennis
clfampionship. Next year they
expect to do better because most
of the athletes are freshmen or
sopnomores.
“The boxing team will have to
do better,” remarked La Fond,
after noting its record of four
victories in six matches. It'll
have to be better with Syracuse,
Brewers Threaten Cameo

The Heurich Brewers are up to

The director of athletics also
reaffirmed that C. U. will stick

A total of 111 letters were
awarded in nine sports, with Bill
Kimball and Stan Plummer also
receiving identical trophies for
outstanding performances on the
swimming team.
The athletes also had an honor
to bestow. Connelly presented
the baseball in play at the end of
yesterday’s game with George
town, autographed by the entire
squad, to Father John M. Walsh,
faculty moderator of athletics.
It was the highest token of
esteem they could give him.
