Georgia Swimming Coach B. W, (Bump) Gabrielson will have charge of the meet which is open to any and all high school swim=- mers in the state. This year’s meet replaces the old GIAA meet held prior to this year in May. As in the past seven years Geor gia Military Academy is expected to dominate the action which such tank stars as Jimmy Cook, diver, and others who perenially have shows this season. The GMA boys copped the GIAA title six years straight and will be seeking their seventh state title when the meet gets un derway tomorrow. The Athens High Trojan swim ming team is also expected to be strong in the meet this year after a favorable showing in the South eastern High School meet held in Atlanta a few weeks ago. GMA won that meet but Coach Charley Cooper of the Athens team feels that the experience gained by the Athenians in participation will be valuable when they enter the ac tion tomorrow. Leading the Athens tankmen in the meet will be freestylers Roger Bell, and Jim La Boon, Utility Man Bob Terry, and Diver Bill Crane. Twelve members of the Athens team will be eligible for participation in the meet, but Coach Cooper is undecided as to who will swim what events, Other teams expected to be en tered in the meet other than Ath ens and GMA are Augusta, Co lumbus High, North Fulton, Northside, Marist and Murphy, with other possible entries before the start of the first preliminary flight. . .

NCAA Tourne Field O 16 | ; Now Complete CHICAGO, March 14 — (AP)— The National Collegiate Athletic Association’s basketball champion ship field of 16 was complete to day with the addition of four eastern schools but one official said the selection system should be changed. The NCAA last night announced the choice of Penn State, Dayton, Duquesne and St. John's as “at large” representatives, meaning they do not represent any particu lar conference, r The four newcomers, plus Santa Clara and Oklahoma City—also independents and chosen “at large” —thus join 10 conference champ ions for tournaments leading to the National Championship. Howard Hobson, Yale University basketball coach who served on the selection committee which picked the four easterns schools, said at New Haven last night he did not agree with the choices. He said the NCAA’s original plan of conducting basketball playoffs on a regional basis should be restored and that he would re commend this to the NCAA. Another disappointed view was taken by Ken Loeffler, LaSalle coack. His team upset Duquesne, one of the new NCAA selectees, 59-46 in a semi-final game of the National Invitation Basketball Tournament at Madison Square Garden, New York. “Why did they leave us out?” Loeffler demanded. “1 think we deserved it.” The 10 conference titleholders include Kentucky, the defending champion and top-ranked team in the country in the Associated Press poll this season, and Illinois, the nation’s number two team in the AP poll. Training Camp News Briefs ~.. By The Associated Press .... SARASOTA, Fla, March 14— Cuban rookie Paul Sanchez made Manager Bucky Harris sit up and take notice during his three in ning pitching stint in Washing ton’s 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox yesterday.

NEW YORK, March 14.—(AP)—About five years ago a tall youngster from Dayton, Ohio, ineligible for high school basketball in his senior year and unnoticed by col lege scouts because of his awkwardness, was “borrowed” by an independent team for a game against the Phillips Oilers. The boy, Don Meineke, played for a while against seven~-foot Bob Kurland and the former Oklaho ma A. and M. star gave him a few encouraging words. Don went on playing club ball and caught the eye of Tommy Blackburn, Dayton University coach.

Pole Vaulters Out To Break More Records CLEVELAND, March 14.—(AP) —-Pole vaulters Don Laz and the Rev. Robert Richards return to Cleveland’'s annual Knights of Columbus track meet tonight in the hope of a repeat record break ing perfornrance. Last year both of them vaulted 15 feet one inch —the first time two vaulters-had topped 15 sect in a single night—to set a new meet record. In the mile, FBI speedster Fred Wilt goes after his third straight victory over Don Gehrmann, Gehrmann, the indoor 1,000-meter champ, has beaten Wilt 168 of the 21 times they raced the mile, but not the last. two. o Press poll was the least expected of the two. Duquesne played one of its worst games. ' Meineke, on performance and statistics, stole the semi-final show. The six-foot-seven senior scored 25 points, flipping in soft hook shots from the keyhole or pushing them in from the side with deft ease. He controlled the back boards on rebounds and outplayed St. Bonaventure’s tall man, Bill Edwards, on defense, His 25 points made him the tournament’s high scorer with 71 for three games and gave him a three-year total of 1,809. Not All for Dayton . After tomorrow’s final, Dayton will go into the National Collegi ate AA tournament as one of the “at large” teams and can play as many as four games there. Gola, the 6-6 freshman, was the key man on the LaSalle attack in its victory over Duquesne by opening up the Dukes’ defense. He scored only ten points while team mate Norm Grekin racked up 21, Brat-T'o-Bab F-Quarterback Zeke Bratowski and right end Harry Babcock, the Southeastern Conference’s No. 1 passing battery in 1951, ‘took up where they left off’ last season in Georgia's intra-squad G-Day game here last week, Bratkowski, who completed 16 of 23 heaves for 333 yards, hit Babcock eight times for a net gain of 145 yards. Sophomore ‘l'-quarterback Don Lassetter, on the rival team, com pleted 10 of 19 throws for 215 yards.

Titleholders; ° By STERLING SLAPPEY AUGUSTA, Ga., March 14— (AP)—The best women golfers in America today were trying to do a familiar job—catch Babe Zahar ias in a golf tournament—but the job again was proving to be too much for most of them. The Babe got o6ff with a head start yesterday in the 13th Annual Titleholders Tournament when she managed to come close to par with a 74 on the Augusta Country Club course, Fine 74 The Babe's 74 was only two strokes above regulation. The best the next girl—Marnie Polk of Chattanooga, Tenn.— could do was a 76. Then came five 77 scores and fromy there on the titleholders’ field was strung out all the way to a 100. Par on the 6,619-yard course is 36-36—72. Two large surprises came among the low scorers in the first round of the 72-hole medal play title holders—Marnie Polk and Maj. Pat Grant, a WAC from Fort Mc=- Pherson, Ga. Major Grant was one of the 77 shooters and her score surprised her as much as Miss Polk’s 76. The best both of them have man aged to do before was win state championships — Marnie’s, the Tennessee crown, and Major Grant's the Oklahoman. - Major Grant spent much of her day returning salutes of salute happy military policemen on duty holding gallery ropes. But she still managed time enough to slip into the broad tie with four of the best girl shooters in the country. Other 77’s were scored by Na tional Open Champior Betsey Rawls of Austin, Texas; Louise Suggs of Carrollton, Ga, who has won every big title at least once; Claire Doran of Cleveland, final ist in the 1951 National Amateur; and Barbara Romack of Sacra mento, Calif., one of the most promising voung amateur in fourn ament golf. Well Known Chasing the Babe iz a well known iob for every gelfer, even Louise Suggs, Patty Berg and Bet ty Jameson. Those four profes sionals usually are considered the best in the game. The Gusty winds botnered every golfer, even the Babe who said she “found and batted the breeze all day.” Pud Miller Top Hitter In Minors COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 14.— (AP)—D. C. (Pud) Miller, out fielder-manager of the Hickory, N. C., club in the North Carolina lState League, won the 1951 bat !ting championship of the minor ileagues, the National Association !of Professional Baseball Leagues }announced today. Miller batted .4248 to nose out Orville A. Kitts, first basemran of the Morristown, Tenn., club of the Mountain States League. Kitts batted .4241. Miller will be p resented the Hillerich and Brasby Silver Bat |award, which annually goes to the minors’ hitting king. @ ® Robinson Winner In 9 - Fifteen Over Olson SAN FRANCISCO, March 14— (AP) —Middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson started his series of month title fights by decisively defeating Carl (Bobo) Olson ¢ Honolulu last night. : . The tap dancing master of the 160-pound division had to travel at top speed to score a 15-round unanimous decision over his younger rival. He next defends against Rocky Graziano in Chicago April 16 and against Paddy Young in New York May 16 “if I still have the title.” Obviously Tired Robinson, obviously tired after exchanging punches with the rug ged 23-year-old Honolulu-born fighter, said he finished in good condition. He agreed his layoff since he regained his title from Randy Turpin of England last September had slowed him. Proceeds went to the Damon Runyon cancer fund. Robinson contributed his purse, except sl. He said it was “as tough a battle as I ever had.” A crowd of 10,033 paid $63,053 to see the fight. The civic auditor ium was jammed to capacity, with hundreds standing. Promoter Wil liam Kyne said the breakdown on expenses and the net to the cancer fund would not be available until late today. Robinson weighed 157% pounds; Olson, 159%. - The champion was a prohibitive favorite, with odds of 1 to 10 quoted and apparently no takers. It was the 135th fight in Robin= son’s great ring career. He knocked out Olson in October of 1950 in 12 rounds at Philadelphia but could not come close to such a flnish last night. Lost Only Two Robinson has lost only two de cisions and has two draws in his Women’s Golf Tourney Set March 16-23 The Women's Golf Association of Athens is starting its 3-Day Ringer Tournament on March 16 running through March 23. There will be a separate tourna ment for the 9 and 18-hole players consisting of 3 rounds for each golfer; 54 holes for the 18-hole players and 27 holes for the 9-hole players. The individual golfer will select her best 9 or 18 hole round. Prizes will be awarded to those having the lowest scores in each class with 14 handicap applying. o : x | and only l —— WELK Buys @ MEW GOOD/YEAR TIRES /7w % X -.\-w‘.,_:;)’v * ’ % “* I(! ¥ £ 05 /a 8 kg sl I 8 § e Q SR - & and your old tires = :“;‘\:\?‘? ¥ ft‘e\r;;‘,: ¢ Dependable MARATHON NQESEFAER. 2L o’ b GOODSYEAR — P Ny e T 1 TIRE 2 TIRES No Down Ne Down Payment, Payment. $1.25 Per Wk. $1.25 Per Wk L. 6 e S A . 5N S PR, 5"~ ss 3.
