'BogIey's Record BesI
'As Junior Netmen
Reach SemifinaIs
By the Assoeiotsd Press

KALAMAZOO, Mich. Aug. T.
Running the form chart right down
the line. four younsters seeded at
the head OF the draw squared of in
today's semi-final matches in the
National Junior Tennis Champion
ships.
Peculiarly, the youth given No. /
position before the tournament
opened had the rockiest route to
the round of four.
He is Richard Mouledous of New
Orleans, 1947 runner-up to Herbert
Buddy Behrens of Fl. Lauderdale,
Fla.
Mou!edous, seeded first here when
Behrens was forced to vacate his
title because he is too old. is the
only one of the semi flnalists who
didn't get first round bye and had
to play five matches to get this far.
Likewise, the new Orleans young
ster is the only member of the sur
viving quartet who has dropped a
set since the week-long schamble
opened last Monday. Both Dick
Squires of Bronxville. N. Y, and
Julian Oates of Waco, Tex, went
the maximum three sets before
oowing to Mouledous in early rounds.
Tony Trabert, western champion
from Cincinnati seeded second,
swept eight sets in four matches
to enter the semi-finals with loss OF
only IA games.
National Scholastic Champion Gil
Bogley, Chevy Chase, Md, star
seeded third in the nationals, topped
that with a record Of only IL games
lost in four matches while the fourth
semifnalist, George Gentry Of La
Jolla, Calf, dropped 10 games in his
eight sets.
Mouledous faced Gentry, seeded
No. 4, and Trabert locked horns with
Bogley in today's semiwindup. Bog
ley yesterday beat Charles De Voc
of indianapolis, So, 60.
Defending Champion Bob Perry
of Los Angeles led the four top
seeded aces into the semifinals of the
younger boys division, where today
he opposed Jack Frost of Monterey,
Calf, seeded fourth. Yesterday
Perry eliminated Ted Rogers OF
Chevy Chase, 6-4, 6-3.
A third Californian, Second Seeded
Allen Cleveland of Santa Monica,
drew the days toughest assignment,
a collision with red hot Hamilton
Richardson, Baton Rouge, La, star
who currently holds both the South
ern and Western boys titles.
Richardson, who lost only five
games sweeping his first three
matches in straight sets, had to come
from behind to take his fourth
round decision yesterday from Fifth
Seeded Wally Clarke of San Fran
cisco, As, 6-3, Ga.
1t was one of only two three-set
matches all day. Frost reached the
semifinals by ralllying to stop Don
Thompson of Jackson Heights, N. Y,
ST, 6-3. 6-3. The other six singles
matches in both divisions were won

affected the outcome because o
the tremendous superiority of tht
American sprinters.
While the British team took the
central spot on the victory stand fol
the playing of God Save the King,
the American quartet walked de-
jectedly off the field"
The Americans were given a warm
round of applause by the capacity
crowd of $4,000 on hand for the final
day of track and field competition
1t was Britain's first victory of the
games in track and field.
It was the first real mixup oil
the 194S games. Up to this point
everything had gone smoothly. Hac
the United States been allowed this
championship it would have brought
its total of first places in track ano
field to 10.
Canada won the first preliminary
heat of the women's 400-meter re-
lay sin 47.9 seconds, with Australia
second. Great Britain took the Sec
ond heat in 484.
Mrs. Fannie Blankers-Koen OF
Holland, already an unprecedented
tripe champion, anchored her team
to victory in the third heat, won in
ATS seconds.
Denmark. was second in that heat
while the United States combina-
ton of Mabel Walker of Prichard
Ala; Theresa Manuel of Tampa
Fla Nell Jackson of Tuskegee In
stitute and Audrey Paterson of New
Orleans was shut out in third place
The Americans were clicked in 48.3
Meanwhile, Yum Chill Choi OF
Korea led 40 marathon runners out
of Olympic Stadium at 10 am
edit, starting the 26-mile 1885,
yard race which concludes the track
and field program.
A capacity crowd of $4,000 was or
hand. The sun was shining brightly
but there was a cooling breeze.
The United States started the last
day of the track and field event:
with nine championships of the
20 decided, compared with four fol
second-place Sweden, and an I'm.
official total of ITO points against
80 for Sweden, rs for Finland, q
each for Australia and Jamaics
and % for France.
The last four of the two dozer
track and field titles were to be
determined today. The games them.

assorted competition in a variety
of sports, including rowing, boxing
basket ball, English football ane
equestrian.
The marathon runners started of
cautiously, with only the little
Korean putting on much of a sprint
for the lap and three-quarters
around the stadium track before
starting out over hill and dale. He
was followed by teammate, Yum
Box sub, winner of last years
Boston marathon and one of the
favorites for this classic.
Yesterdays outstanding figure in
the track and field events was Bob
Matthias, the American high school
boy who won the decathlon. At II
years of age he beat the worlds
toughest all-around competitors.
Matthias had to plod through rain
and darkness from 1890 am. until
Ills pm. to snatch the decathlon
titles away from mighty field of 81
that finally dwindled down to %.
Il don't ever want him to do it

more dramatically than this one.
Big, steady Ignace Heinrich of
France stuck to second place all
along. Because of a lucky pole vault
draw he was abe to finish his ordeal
around pm. with an imposing total
of 6,974 points. Matthias was still
pole vaulting and had the javelin
and $500 meter run still ahead.
The young Californian, who stands
feet IL inches, and who weighs
1873 pounds, is no distance runner.
He knew if he were to win he must
pile up enough points in the pole
vault and javelin to compensate for
slow $500 meters.
So with iron nerves-friellds say
he never has the jitters-he kept on
vaulting despite the rain and dark
ness. He finally scared over at II
feet 5s4 inches for 500 points. BY
then he had 6.192 points, 1865 ahead
of what Heinrich had when he fin
ished the pole vault.
But night was wearing on.
$50 Tired" Bob Groans.
I'm so tired" Bob groaned. II
don't know if I'll be able to run
800 meters in 6 minutes"
In the decathlon a man is graded
on the basis of 1000 for perfect
performance, and 6-minute 1,500
would have been fatal.
So Bob gritted his teeth and
threw the javelin a mighty 165 feet
l inch for 500 points.
Now things looked safe.
The runners took their positions
on the far side of the track. scarcely
visible in the gloom. The gun
sounded and they were off.
1t soon was apparent that young
Matthias was a tired, worn boy. A
Swede spurted far in front, but with
slow, painful motions like SOME one
running in a dream, Bob kept on
around the track.
When he came to the final stretch
he managed a sprint. He finished
in the pitifuly slow time of Sill for
only 1854 points. But it was enough
for victory.
