his suspension As for the horse
itself. nlly named julio Macaw.
that animal has raced the webbing
only four times and the first was
a year after racing Jesse. So al
though Julio may be unable TO
reach into her hip harness and
come up with an amateur card
there are those who will vouch for
her simon-purity AT the Owens
race;
CD When he appeared for Gov
Landon, II was as campaign
speaker and not as an athlete.
hence this would noe be held
against him as professionalism
owens admits he has an income Of
around $500 a year for life, but
says he never took dime for run
ming. never endorsed anything. and
never got nickle for advertising
Most OF his money came from gifts
made by those who wanted to show
their appreciation for his marve-

or played in dance orchestras as a
means Of livlihood either while at

further study. and no question Of
professionalism have ever been
raised

was also suspended indefinitely.
but application for reinstatement
must be made through the home A.

trict has received application and
favors his reinstatement. AS long
as il can be proved Jesse never
was professional, then the ma
tional registration committee and
the board OF governors, which
meets next Dec. has no choice
under the rules, but the restora-
ton Of the athletes amateur status.
