TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
Ay OSCAR FRALEY

e* 1— ;
i- NBW YORK IIP) Nine candidates were being voted upon today
'tor the James E. Sullivan Memorial Award as the year’s out
standing’ amateur athlete and it looked like a close race between
tennis champ Maureen Connolly and pole vaulter Bob Richards.
Richards, the vaulting parson from Chicago who was the first
-man since Cornelius Warmerdam to clear IS feet, appeared on prece
dent to have an edge over the 16-year-old national amateur court
queen. For bf the 21 previous awards, 12 were won by track stars,
r Two surprises in the vote being conducted by the national AAU
-were the snubbing of Dick Kazmaier, Princeton football AH-Amerifca,
1 and Billy Maxwell of Odessa, Tex., who came out of nowhere
to win the national amateur golf championship. TWo griddcrs, Doc
Blanchard and Arnold Tucker, both oi Army, were previous win
- tiers And Kazmaier certainly deserved recognition as a candidate at
least eu Tib new national total offense record. ,
Bbt the AAU snubbed Kazmaier and Maxwell and named four
swimi®rs, two track aces and one each from weight lifting, tennis and
basketball for the battle of the ballots.
Yet the race appeared to be betwween Miss Connolly and Richards,
even though Don Budge in 1937 was the only tennis star ever to win the
Sullivan Award in its previous 21 years.
“Little, Mo,” as the San Diego court slugger is known, contributed
one of .the year’s outstanding athletic achievements When she matched
Helen .Wills Moody’s unprecedented feat of winning the national tennis
crown-at 16. Her victory in the deciding match of the Wightman CUji
scries Against England also enabled the United States to Win the trophy.
Richards, in addition to becoming the second man ever to clear IS
feet in the vault, also won the 19S1 pentalilon championship on his
first tjy. And he did it with the fourth highest score ever recorded
by an in this event.
Rounding out the list of candidates, any one of whom would be a
fitting'winner, are John Davis, Brooklyn, welghtlifter; Patricia Keller
McCormick’ Los Angeles diving star; Wayne Moore, Yale swimmer;
Carol Pervee, LaFayette, Ind., swimmer; Jim Baltimdrev
swimirgr; .Mai Whitfield, Columbus track ace, and George Yardley,
San Francisco basketball player.
DavisJ,' 1948 Olympic champion, has been national heavyweight
weight-lifting champion since 1938 and holds the world records in
all thsae -lifts in his class. Miss McCormick won nine U. S. diving
titles from* 1949 through this year and is the only woman in swim
ming history to hold all five diving championships in one given year.
Modre holds the national 200 and 400 meter freestyle championships
and is'ja member of Yale’s world record relay team. Miss Pence set
American records in winning the National indoors and outdoor 200
yard and 200 meter breaststroke championships.
Thbmas, former North Carolina swim star, holds the outdoor 100-
meter Jjackstroke and indoor medley crowns. Whitfield, holder of the
Olympia 800-meter mark, won the 400 and 800 meter races at the
Pan-America ngames and last summer in Japan competed in 30 events
without > loss. Yardley, former Stanford basketball star, was top man of
the national AAU basketball champions.
It’a a good list, even without Kazmaier and Maxwell, but the
rooting In this comer is for “Little Mo.”
