Although little unfinished business

national professional tennis cham
pionships, which occupied the turf

2. Don Bulge still is capable OF
playing a first-rate game.
3. Frank Kovacs is free to become

NCAA's Meet Gives
Line on Contenders
For Olympic Trials
By the Associated Press

! SALT LAKE CITY, June 23.-In
the coming trials for places on the
United States team for the Olympic
games at London in 1948, there are
at least Is challengers with expert
performances in the NCAA carnival
to back up their, claims.
These are the champions and top
contenders who won salutes from
Rocky Mountain railbirds in the
26th annual national collegiate
meet in University of Utah Stadium
Friday and Saturday nights.
The United States Olympic squad
will be chosen after regular trials,
but the NCAA and IC-4A events are
regarded as giving a fine line on the
athletes this country will send
against the best from other nations.
Two new NCAA records, both bet
tering accepted world standards,
were hung up as Illinois won its sec
ond straight championship with
1924 points to "a 1/6 for runnerup
Southern California.
RECORD 1OT Mchenlcy.
Illinois spectacular Herb McKen-
ley raced a 462-second quartermile,
-tenths faster than the world
mark and three-tenths better than
the former meet record. 1t was all
the more remarkable because the
runners toured a two-turn course.
McKenley also retained his title
in the 220-yard dash with a 20.7-
second race. However, the little
Negro, who halls from Jamaica, will
run for the British team in the
Olympics and not for Uncle Sam.
Harrison billiard, Negro hurdling
star from Baldwin Wallace at
Berea, Ohio, won the 220-yard low
hurdles in 22.3 seconds, also two
teuths faster than the recognized
world mark. billiard won the high
hurdles, too, after equalling the
meet record of 1879 seconds in the
preliminaries.
Another limber-legged Negro,
Willie Steele of San Diego State
thought for a while he had a new
broad Jump record in his possession
after leaping 26 feet inches. But
the Games Committee ruled against
him, announcing he had too strong
a breeze at his back. The meet
record is 26 feet 1as inches.

| ABOARD u. IS. S. POWER, June
23.-Paced by Henry Taylor's big
black hulled yawl Baruna, the New
port-Annapolis Ocean race feet OF
36 yachts made its slow way down
the Atlantic Coast today with little
chance of any rival entering Chesa-
peake Bay before late tonight OF
early tomorrow.
Only freshening breeze, which
so far has failed to materialize,
could get the leaders to the finish
line off the mouth of Severn River
by forenoon Wednesday.
Thus far In the 466-mile classic,
| its been race for the little fellows
class B racers. The Atlantic yes
terday was as smooth as Chesapeake
Bay, except for the inevitable
ground swell. The wind has been
light and mostly southerly since the
start Saturday afternoon off Bren-
ton Reef light vessel. That helps
explain why at sundown last night
class B sloop Alar, sailed by David
Bailey. Riverside, Conn, was only
20 miles behind and seaward of Ba-
runa.
Just behind Alar was Paul Wyatt's
yawl TomahaWk, Port Washington,
N. Y.
The wind died out last night as it
had done the night before, and sun
rise this morning found the Baruna
about 40 miles east of Atlantic City
and 160 miles on the way to Chesa-
peake lightvessel. With 40 hours of
sailing since the start, the Baruna,
first to finish in the 1916 Bermuda
race, was averaging only 4 knots
over the course.
If the Race Committee, headed by
Alexander Orr, Edgartown, Mass,
had decided to call it race at this
point, Alar probably would be de-
clared winner on corrected time.
About miles back of Baruna and
fighting it out for second position
in the fleet were the Naval Acad-
emy's cutter Highland Light, skip
pered by 1t. Comdr. Jack Riggin
and Commodore Decoursey Fales'
big sooner Nina. Donald Patter-
sons cutter Elda from Gibson Is
land, Md, was leading B yacht
from the bay, with the Nays Reso-
lutte, skippered by 1t, Frank Stat
kowski, not far behind.

Long BrowneII Reign
Seen After Victory
In State Amateur

Bobby Brownell is undisputed
kingpin of amateur golfers in this
section and experts today were pre-
dieting long reign for the sweet
swinging Manor Club SHOEMAKER.
Sun-tanned' Bobby scored his
third major victory Of the season
yesterday in turning back Spencer
Overton and 2 for the Maryland
State amateur title. The form he
displayed was an indication that
future bidders for any of his titles
will encounter tough opposition for
Brownell in his own backyard, now
finds himself In virtually the same
position as Lew Worsham In the ma
tional picture. Lew was rated a
rising star when he shared the
Open title, and Bobby also had been
reckoned as potential champ.
Brownell carded one over par'71
In taking 2-up lead in yesterdays
18-hole morning round, then pro-
ceeded to close out the match with
birdie deuce on the 10th hole in
the concluding test. The champ

ing shot while Overton, after digging
out of a sand trap, was parked a
foot from the pin, certain of par
three.
Overton's usual steadiness was not
apparent in the crucial test and he
found himself frequently trapped
and Just as frequently had trouble
extricating himself. He took tenn
porary 1-up lead on the seventh
hole of the first Is, scoring birdie
8, but Brownell squared matters on
the next green and thereafter was
IN command.

The net result of this success
full foray into the land of the

1t means that If the Washington
