FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga.— Dennis Hulme is lifted from his
McLaren racer Sunday after he flipped on the back straight.
The accident was apparently caused by Hulme’s car being
caught up in the “draft” behind George Follmer’s Porsche.
Follmer wins easy
after Hulme crash
By JOHN G. WARNER
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (UPI)-
George Follmer, a 38-year-old
veteran racer from California,
grabbed a rare victory from
Team McLaren Sunday in the
second of the 1972 Canadian-
American Challenge Cup series,
but it was just as dull as it
usually is when the McLarens
win.
There were a total of five
laps of racing out of the 75
around the 2.5-mile Road
Atlanta course—the first five.
During that time defending
champion Peter Revson broke
down in his factory McLaren,
and team leader Denny Hulme,

pursuing Follmer at 190 miles
an hour, survived a flying, end
over-end crash that “looked like
a bomb going off.”
This left Follmer with nothing
to do but tool his smooth
running Roger Penske team
turbocharged Porsche along to
a one-lap victory over a couple
of other Porsches, the second
place car carrying Gregg
Young and Milt Minter running
third. Charlie Kemp took fourth
in an old McLaren.
Revson, who pulled Hulme
from the smouldering remains
of the bright orange McLaren,
accused Follmer of braking his
Porsche on the straight—“l’d
call that dirty driving,” he said.
Follmer, sweat trickling down
his grimy face after the
victory, snorted at the accusa
tion. “I wouldn’t do that to
anybody,” he said.
“I wouldn’t think anybody
would brake on the straight
with those guys right behind.
They’d go by like a shot.”
Follmer led every lap. Hulme
was never more than a couple
of yards behind until his crash
—which took place at almost
the same spot that Indianapolis
500 champion Mark Donohue
wrote off the No. 1 Penske
Porsche earlier this week in
practice. Donohue suffered
severe knee damage and had to
undergo surgery, which led
Penske to bring in Follmer to
keep the entry going in the
spare car.
French Grand Prix driver
Francois Cevert, who chal
lenged Follmer briefly after the
McLarens dropped out, finally
fell out of the race himself with
a broken engine.
He was right behind the
leaders on the fifth lap when,
coming down the straight, he
saw the nose of Hulme’s 600-
horsepower racer lift up. The
Miraculously, Hulme was unhurt. Teammate Peter Revson

car suddenly reared backwards,
airborne apparently in the
turbulence from Follmer’s car.
“It looked like a bomb going
off, or a series of explosions,”
said Cevert, as the car hurtled
end over end, burning, 400
yards down the side of the
track.
Track workers quickly extin
guished the fire. Revson,
tinkering with his own car
nearby, rushed to the scene
and, when Hulme regained
consciousness, released the
harness that kept him hanging
head down in the inverted
wreckage. Hulme was rushed to
the course hospital where

shock kept him from remem

Follmer, who only last
weekend clinched the Trans-
American series for American
touring cars, arrived here
Friday to take over the Penske
entry. He had never driven the
car, nor seen the twisting, hilly
Road Atlanta course, before.

At Wimbledon
Smith, Nastase match
called best in years
WIMBLEDON, England
(UPI) — The excitement at
Wimbleton ’72 belonged to the
women until two footsoldiers
stole the show with one of the
most exciting men’s finals in
the last 40 years.
In a 2 hour 40 minute center
court thriller Sunday, top
seeded Stan Smith of Pasadena,
Calif, beat Romanian touch
artist Hie Nastase, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3,
4-6, 7-5.
Oldtimers at the club, who’ve
seen all the finals back to the
19305, said the match was the
best since Australia’s Jack
Records tumble
in Olympic trials
EUGENE, Ore. (UPI)-When
Bill Bowerman and his coach
ing staff take the United States
men’s track and field team to
Munich next month it could be
one of the most powerful ever
to represent America.
This was evident over and
over again in the 10-day
Olympic trials which ended
Sunday. It was quite evident
when Steve Prefontaine extend
ed his unbeaten streak to 24
races while beating veteran
Olympian George Young in the
American record time of
13:22.8 for 5,000 meters, and
when Wayne Collett upset world
record holders John Smith and
Lee Evans in the 400 meter
dash in 44.1 seconds.
Traditionally, America is
strong in the short races, better
than most in the field events
and a little on the short side in
the distance races. This year’s
team appears to have baance
in every department, moving
the usually reserved Bowerman
to say, “I think we are in
pretty good shape.”
“The team will be a little
greener than usual in the
sprints but experienced in the

Crawford beat Ellsworth Vines
of America, 6-4 in the fifth to
win in 1933.
Certainly the capacity crowd
of 15,000 fans, who hung on
every shot, was satisfied with
the feast of strokes and fighting
tennis served up by the finalists.
It more than made up for the
disappointment of Saturday’s
washout which caused the finals
to be postponed 24 hours for only
the fourth time in the 86-year
history of the tournament.
Smith, who has won a host of
admirers for his court manners
and charm off it, was perfectly

“I’m not at all unhappy about
the men we’ll be taking to
Munich.”
The trials, watched by more
than 140,000 fans over 10 days
in Eugene’s Hayward Field,
produced three men—Dave
Wottle, Larry Young and Frank
Shorter—who won places in two
events, a world record of 18-5
% in the pole vault by Bob
Seagren, a world record equall
ing time of 1:44.3 by Wottle in
the 800 meter run, a world
record equalling 9.9 in the 100
meter dash by Ed Hart and
Reynaud Robinson and an
American record of 56-0 in the
triple jump by Dave Smith.
Add to that two other
American records—a 48.4 by
Ralph Mann in the 400-meter
hurdles and a 4:13:04.4 by
Young in the 50-
kilometer walk, and you have
to think Bowerman is right
when he says “there is nothing
to worry about.”
Other impressive victories
included a 20.4 by Chuck Smith
in the 200 meter dash, a strong,
comebacking 3:41.5 triumph by
them.
Jack Nicklaus, 9-4 favorite to
win the $125,000 tournament,
heads the list with 13 major
championship victories—equall
ing the record of the late Bobby
Jones.
Then comes Arnold Palmer
with eight, Gary Player and
Aussie Peter Thooson with five
each while Billy Casper and
Lee Trevino weigh in with three
each.
The “stupendous six” totalled
them up this way: 12 British
Open wins, 10 Masters, nine
U.S. Open victories, three PGA
championships and three U.S.
Amateurs.
Nicklaus is bidding to cap the
lot, not just by going out on his
own to set an all-time record
total of 14 championships.

“eighty per cent guts and luck

tribute to Nastase, who made
the strokes which had the
crowd on the edge of their
seats.
Guts and a refusal to quit
finally got Smith home and
helped give the U.S. its first
double victory since 1955 when
Tony Trabert and Louise

victory in the decathlon and
John Craft’s wind-aided 56-2 in

A total of 13 former
Olympians won places on this
year’s team.
They included Jay Silvester

two walks, Art Walker and
Dave Smith (their second) in
the triple jump, Seagren (his
second) in the pole, Ryun (his

Larry Young (his fourth) in the

This year’s men’s team will
be one of the youngest ever. It
includes, among others, two 18-
year-olds—Dwight Stones in the
high jump and Randy Williams
in the long jump.

Because the match was being
played on army time, Smith
was unable to keep the $13,000
top prize, but at no time did he
play as though money was a
consideration.
Before the final he said:
“Winning Wimbledon means
more to me than money.” He
proved that when he saved
three break points in the vital
fifth game of the deciding set.
He came from 0-40 to break
service in the 12th game to
clinch the set and match.
Nastase, who had hit wonder
ful passing shots on either
wing, made impossible looking
returns and served well, played
a tired shot when trying to save
the fourth match point against
him—a backhand volley into the
net going for the line.
For Nastase there was a
consolation check of $7,800 and
a share of the $1,300 dollars for
winning the mixed doubles with
Rosie Casals of San Francisco.
Mrs. King, meanwhile, shared
the doubles title for the eighth
time when she partnered
Holland’s Betty Stove to a 6-2,
4-6, 6-3 win over Francoise
Durr of France and Australia’s
Judy Dalton. The winners
shared $1,560.
Smith’s next big assignment
will be defense of his U.S. Open
title at Forest Hills when the
WCT regulars will be in the
draw.
