OXFORD, Ohio, Mar. 26.-To
prevent defending champion
Ohio State from easily surging
off with it's ninth NCAA swim
ming title tonight, some rival
must hit the Buckeyes over the
head with a board-a diving
board, that is.
Mike Peppe's talented aquatic
Bucks from Columbus, Ohio, have
three defending champions and
a title-holding medley relay
team going for them in the clos
ing seven-event program at Mi
ami University's pool.
And If the high-board diving
event pans out anything like last
nights low-board competition
which produced II of Ohio
States halfway total of 43
points, the Buckeyes may shat
ter Yale's meet record total OF
961a points, set in 1858.
Backwatering in second place
with % points is Ohio States
bitter Big Ten rival. Michigan
And Just a point behind in third
place is Yale with 81.
Three individual champions
retained titles in last nights
action which produced two new

The other United States victory
Of the day came in the mems

breeze. Martin Smith got off to
Lead over Canada, Bill Yorzyk
held it. little Wayne Moore in
creased it, and the brilliant
Jimmy McLane. already a two
medal champion, made it a run
away.
The two Yank coaches, Tom
Haynie Of Stanford University,
who had to miss the final day
to return to Palo Alto, Calf, and
Tom Lamar of Fort Lauderdale,
Fla. had reason to be proud of
the team.
OF the mems squad, Haynie
had promised a much better
showing than the United States
made in the 1851 games. The
well-coached team made this
prediction come through right
of the bat.
Lamar was equally proud of
his girls team. AS an example,
he pointed out that never had
the United States won a women's
breaststroke race in international
competition until Mary Lou Ell
senius of California came
through here.
Happiest coach of all, however,
was Canada's Tommy Walker Of
Toronto. The Canadian girls
were happy, too-so delighted
that they tossed the coach into
the pool.
1T was worth it, we'll worth
It," said Walker, beaming from
ear to ear and dripping from
head to feet.

Baker, Easy Winner

NEW YORK, Mar. 26.-Bob
Baker, the mustachioed No. 2
challenger for Rocky Marciano's
heavyweight crown. today
shrugged off his 10-round de-
cision over Julio Mederos-and,
in fact, admitted the Cuban
would have beaten the "old"
Baker.
"It was a victory Of no major
importance" said the Pitts
burgher, speaking of his easy
conquest in Madison Square
Garden last night. 1T was just
another win (No. 9 in a row. i.

Baker said. Il had him wobbly

The "old" Bob Baker. let it be
explained, let himself bloat up
to as much as 225 pounds. Now
that he's taking his training
seriously. he was down to 300 "
to 1907 for Mederos.
AS for Mederos, the evidence
indicates the 22-year-old Cuban,
who came into prominence three
weeks 40 by knocking out Ro-
land La Starza, is a heavyweight
of some promise.
He is shifty and possesses a
fast right hand. Except for
the first round when he came
out breathing fire, he fought a
defensive battle. But he looked
good on occasions. He made his
28-year-old opponent miss often
and even landed a scattering
of wild punches to Bakers head.
Referee Ruby Goldstein gave it
to Baker, 90, with one even,
while Judges Artie Aidela and
Jack Gordon had it Bill.

Of every major highway in the

Lillis, who in 1858 became a

the Bear, Stearns stock brokers
firm and chairman of the board
of National Can-also is criti-
cally concerned with Bowie's
betting average as the current
meeting nears the halfway point.
After II days the wagering
average stood at $957,183 but
with some of the most attractive
stakes still in the offng, Lillis be-
lieves his goal of a $1.100,000
average is within reach.
This figure of $1,100, 900 is i'm
portant because the entire oper-
alton this spring at Bowie was
more or less based on this wager
ing average. Bowie's outlay for
stakes was nearly doubled this
season and Lillis said he would
be very much disappointed to
have to cut back in 1856.
\ Il
rs believes that Bowie has
awakened interest in racing in
Washington and Baltimore areas
by drawing some Of the country's
top stables to Bowie, many of
which had never been to the

a New Yorker. Lillis says he is
enjoying racing more and more
as he increases his knowledge
about the intriguing sport and
becomes acquainted better with
the people surrounding it.

"'Build a better mousetrap
and the world will beat a path
way to your door,"
THAT saying is all wet" ex-
claims Donald Lillis, Bowie's
business-minded president.
Lillis was talking about the
Southern Maryland racing plant.
Only five years ago he had but
a faint notion of its existence
and a very vague idea of its
location in a Prince Georges
County pine woods.
Specifically he was referring
to the poor roads leading to
Bowie which he feels are now
lowering the betting by from
100000 to $4,000 a day.
There can be no doubt that
racing fans are discouraged be-
cause of the trying traffic jams
caused by bottlenecks which
deter motorists entering and
leaving the track" Lillis said.
y \ n X
He points out that Bowie has
improved its roads within its
property and increased its park
ing space to 81 acres. The diff
Guilty lies with the antiquated
State and county roads which
feed the track from the WASH
ington Parkway and Route 301
from Baltimore.
I'VE are using all the influence
we can muster to have the roads
improved right now, but the
problem centers on Maryland's
long-range road Improvement
plan. The roads we would like
to see widened now will be for
gotten about later" Lillis ex-
plains.
He has reference to Mary
lands modern highway project,
which includes dual lane road
way which will branch off the
Washington parkway, pass ap-
proximately mile to the south
of the Bowie track and connect
with Route 301, which also is due
to be converted into a dual road.

that there is no definite time

posed road.
