that opinion.

body's going to run many plays
over him"
Hendren almost went to
U. c. L. A. with Tom Fears,
now playing end for the Rams.
He applied for a scholarship
while still in the Army and
was approved but heard no
more OF it. He moved around
after getting out Of service and
having met Alex Hannum Of
Southern Cal in AAU basket
ball competition, decided to en-
roll at that school. Fears.
meanwhile, had written
string of letters advising him
to report at U. c. L. A.. letters
that never caught up with him.
Hendren was the youngest in
a family Of nine boys and a
girl and the biggest. He's been
a stagehand at Hollywood Bowl
during the offseason but hasn't
settled on a permanent career.
One Of his buddies at Southern
Cal was Mel Patton. the cham
pion sprinter.
MEL was so modest he
wouldn't talk about any Of his
experiences" Bob said. He got
so bad I called him Turtle and
kidded him about how slow he
was. Now if we could figure
way of getting him into a foot
ball suit Coach Whelchel
wouldn't have to worry about
that breakway runner he
wants." -ATCHISON.

Nip Natators 10 Spend
W. Day Anniversary
Girding for Conquest
By the Assoeioted Press

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.-To-
morrow is the fourth anniversary
of VI day and six Japanese SWIM
mers are going to spend it prac-
ticing and getting ready for their
intended conquest of American
free-stylers in the national AAU
championships next week.
Record-breaking Hironoshin Fu-
ruhashi and his five teammates,
who flew here this morning from
Tokyo. will be the first to uphold
Nippons banner in international
sports competition since the war
In the absence. Of Jimmy McLane
and Bill Smith. Americas Olympic
distance aces. Furuhashi and Co.
will be strong favorites in the 400,
800 and 1,500-meter events.
But in the 100 and 200-meter
sprints, Iowa's Wally Ris may
spoil the Nip bid for clean sweep
of the free-style events.
Topheavy favorites in their
specialties are defending cham
pions Joe Verdeur of Philadelphia
in the breaststroke and 300-meter
individual medley, and Allen
Stack, Yale, in the backstroke.
The Japanese have no entrants
in these events.
u. S. Divers Stand Out.
Nor have they yet developed a
diver to compete with Olympics
champions Bruce Harlan, Spring
board, and Dr.. Sammy Lee, on the
tower. Keen competition is ex-
pected here from Miller Anderson,
Norman Sper. jr., and the Mexi-
can, Joaquin Capilla.
The center of attention in the
meet. which opens Tuesday with
1,500-meter preliminaries. will be
Furuhashi. the 21-year- -old flying
flsh Of Fujiyama."
F'uruhashi has been clocked In
better than world record time in
the three distance events in which
he is entered. His best includes
4::33 for the 400. 9:41 for the 800,
and 1887 for the 1900 meters.
Coach Masaji Kiyokawa thinks
Furuhashi can do even better
here, if pushed.
But it seems that the pushing
will have to come from his team
mate, Shire Hashizume, also 81,
and like Furuhashi a student at
Nippon University. Hashizume,
entered in the same events. boasts
times of 4:42, 9:49.3 and 1873.
For comparison only. Smith won
the Olympic 400 in 4:41 and Nc
Lane the 1900 in 19:18.5. Jack
Taylor of Akron won the AAU
1900 last year in 19:48.1. NC
Lane won the 40 and 800 with
times of 4:53.5 and 10:17.1.
Ris, who won the Olympic 100
in :57.3, is the choice to dethrone
returning AAU titleholer Robert
Nugent of the New York A. c.,
who won in $3.50 last year. Yoshiro
