HOLLYWOOD IL Here's one
rising television star whose sue

living in a trailer and intends to
continue doing SO.
He is Johnny Dugan, who APP
peared last week on Eddie Cam

placement for the Ralph Edwards
daytime TVer. Although the sing

NEW YORK, June 2.-Ameri-
cas- top collegiate track per-
formers pointed today for the
National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation championships in Berkeley,
Calf, June 1914 as the first big
hurdle to clear to win a place on
the Olympic team. that goes to
the July games in Helsinki.
AS usual, the United States will
have a powerful team. It will be
the first to meet Russia in direct
athletic competition. But right
now it looks as If America will
depend more on its college grad
yates than on the undergraduates.
Manhattan easily won the IC4A
championships Saturday and Illi-
nois shaded Michigan in the Biz
Ten in final tuneups for the
Nationals.
Bright college performances OF
the week end. all pointing to pos
sible Olympic places, were: James
Golliday, Northwestern, 100 yards
in 0:09.5; Stacey Siders, Illinois
$50 in 1:51.2; Walt Davis, Texas
A&M. high jump in 6-9h;
Xavier Monies, Texas Western

180-15s; Bob Allison, Navy, javelin,
225-2A, and Dick Maiocco, NYU,
440 in 0:47.9 on a slow track.
The college graduates also made
good marks. Jim Gernardt. for
merly of Rice, did 48 feet, 4 inches
in the hop, skip and jump and
and Warren Dreutzler, ex-Mich-
igan. State, ran the 1900 in
1886.
However, it looks as if some
of the oldtimers will be the
American stars at Helsinki, such
as Bob Richards. who has done
14-101a in the pole vault outdoors;
Jim Fuchs, who has a mark of
57-41a in the shot: Sam FELTON,,
Navy Olympics, 185-101a in the
hammer: Nal Whitfield, 0:47 at
400 meters and Craig Dixon, 0:13.9
for the high hurdles.
The United States looks par
ticularly strong in two weight
events. the shot and discus. In
the discus, Sim Iness of Southern
California has done 1854, close
