Cyclones, Royals Play Hectic
Record Tie;Mundey Back

Referee Sparky Danielson has re-
Tented from match penalty against
aggressive Ernie Mundey of the
Quebec Cyclones, and that colorful,
high-scoring youngster will be back
tonight when his team again takes
to the Uline Arena ice for another
game against the Montreal Royals.
He was tossed out last night for
fighting both on the ice and in the
penalty box.
Before that he was one of the
key men and high scorers as the
underrated cyclones tied the Roy
ais, 15-15, in an overtime session.
That total of 80 goals is a new all
time Uline Arena hockey scoring
record, breaking the former mark
of 20 points set two weeks ago by
the Toronto Parkdales and Ontario
Tp-Tops.
About everything that could hap

Dodds still prefers his courtship with

by a wide margin in his assault on
Greg Rice's indoor record at the
Knights of Columbus games last
night.
Il still feel it's my natural dis

remarked wearily after he finished
14.3 seconds beyond the S:51 mark
which the former Notre Dame star
set in the same meet last year.
Il had very little time to train for
the extra distance and I Just got

Gill twice lowered the world indoor

dropped out at the halfway point.

Young clipped one-tenth of a
second off the mark of 4.8 seconds

set the old figure here last year.

Ford Conceded First
Triple NCAA Tank
Title in Decade
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Mar. 25.-
Barring a near miracle, Alan Ford,
Yale's great swimmer, loomed today
as the National Collegiate AA's first
triple titlist in nearly a decade. All
that the Ellis Balboa Bullet has to
do Is to win the 100-yard free-style
sprint, and hardly anybody expects
him to funk.
The last time anybody won three
crowns in the NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS
was in 1886, when Jack Medica of
the University of Washington and
now University Of Pennsylvania
coach, did it. And prior to that, the
only other swimmer to accomplish
the trick was Art Schwartz of
Northwestern in 1880. z.
Century His Specially.
The century is the 20-year-old,
broad-shouldered Ford's speciality,
and only week ago he lowered his
world record for the distance to
0:49.7. The big question was not
whether the rusty-haired Ford,
whom Coach Bob Kiphuth, an ex-
pert, claims is the speediest sprint
swimmer in history, would win, but
how much he has been affected by
a recent cold.
Ford. after winning the 5O-yard
freestyle and 150-yard backstroke
with ease last night-the inaugural
OF the two-day championships in
Yale's pool-said he felt fine. His
winning of the two events, staged
hardly 10 minutes apart, featured
the first days activities.
Other high lights included the
winning Of the 1,500 meter by Keo
Nakama, Ohio States captain from
Hawaii, the first champ successfully
to defend his title; the triumph of
big Gene Rogers of Columbia in the
220-yard freestyle in which he beat
Nakama by less than foot; the an
nexing of the 1-meter dive crown by
Charles Batterman of Columbia,
formerly of Ohio State, and the
winning of the 300-yard medley relay
by the United State Naval Academy.
Although Yale and Michigan were
favored to battle it out to the last
race in today's five-event show

yard breast stroke, 400-yard relay

He got IS on one and two with
short puts, missed an eagle 8 by an

the green. He opened his stance, hit
a great curving slice around the tree
to the front of the green, Clipped

stuck his tee shot within feet of
the pin and holed it for his fifth
birdie in five holes. (The PGA rec
ord book says Harry Cooper once
had eight brides in nine consecutive
holes.)
Trapped Shot Ends Streak.
Nelson's streak ended when he was
trapped on seven, where he got
par. He should have had brides on
eight and nine. after tremendous
wood shots but his short game failed
him and he used up three strokes
from the edge of the green in both
cases to finish with a bogey and a

had straight pars except for bogey
on the last hole.
