another goal in an illustrous
career that includes two Olympic
championships when he was
named winner of the James E.

The 3C-year-old former Air

nouncement yesterday. m
But his sister in Los Angeles

teur athlete who. by perform
ance. example and good influ-
ence, did most to advance the

sented to Whitfield February 20
in New York by Louis G.. Wilke.
AAU president from Bartlesville,
Okla.
Whitfield. the first Negro to
win the trophy. gained fame at
Ohio State which he attended
while in the Air Force. He was
the first choice of 252 of the 657
ballots cast by tribunal of
sports authorities.
On the 5-3-l point basis he
received 1859 points for a wide
lead over the eight other con-
tenders who figured in the final
balloting.
Mrs. Patricia Keller Nc
Cormick, who like Whitfield rep
resents the Los Angeles Athletic

and 1928 points. She scored a
springboard-p platform diving
double in the 1862 Olympics.
Shelley Mann Seventh.
Tom Cola. LaSalle's All-Amer-
lea basketball player, was third
with 81 firsts and 662 points.
Then came Franklin tBud) Held

two Olympics and anchored the
American 160-meter relay team,
which won in 1948 and finished

for a prediction.
The Arkansas and Georgia
Tech squads arrived yesterday
and held workouts. Both coaches
were delighted with the weather
conditions. Bad weather has cut
out much work for both Of them
at the home bases.
Arkansas was in tip-top shape
for the game, without a single
injury or sniffle, while Georgia
Tech was able to have all its
men in uniform for the first
time yesterday. Flu and injuries
have handicapped the Tech
workouts, but the squad is now
free of illness and the injuries
have healed sufficiently to in
sure all Yellow Jackets being
able to play tomorrow. Coach
Bobby Dodd, however, reminded
that they can't be in top ply
sical condition due to the inac-
tivity. Ii
The weather bureau is fore
casting cloudy and mild weather
tomorrow, with temperatures In
the low 60s-and no rain.
The odds fluctuated from three
to six points in favor of Georgia
Tech. and Coach Bowden Wyatt
of Arkansas said he figured that
was about right.
Dodd disputed the odds on his
team and said he figured Ark
ansas ought to be favored. Gee
whiz!" he exclaimed. Arkansas

resulted concerning what would
happen when the two races col
lided on the football field.
There were demonstrations of
protest at some schools, but not
at an athletic event.
Top individual performances
that come to mind are Dan
Droze's six touchdowns against
Eastern and Elgin Baylor's SO
points in basketball against
Phelps.
Who can fault Wilson's Jack
Ingley in track and Eastern's
fine lefthander, Dick Smallwood,
on the diamond? Ingley, now at
Cornell, set records for the 440-
yard run and the $50 in the
Wilson Metropolitan meet and
a new 440 mark in the Inter-
high event last spring. He al
ready owned the $50 Interhigh
record from 1858.
Smallwood completed his Sec
ond consecutive unbeaten season
by hanging up a SO record for
the champion Ramblers. His
single in the ninth inning drove
in the winning run in the inter-
high final against Western. And
he had a no-hitter going until
the seventh inning.

Add to this Lew Luce's SO points
in two playoff games as Wilson
won the interhigh basketball
championship with a patched-up
team. Wilson grabbed that
crown for the second straight
year and it was an upset both
times.
No one dominated a sport,
however, as much as did Baylor
on the basketball court. The
6-foot-412 Negro scored an ay-
erage of 36.1 points per game
while guiding Spingarn to an
unbeaten season in the Inter-
high Division II League.
