In 20 years of playing the

by Mike Sklar's surprisingly

Olympic Strength

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Four
world record holders, miller Yves
Santee and solid core of tested
Olympians will lead the United
States powerful 33-man track
and field team in the second
Pan American Games in Mexico
City next month.
'It's an outstanding SQUAD"
said Jim Kelly, chairman of the
committee of 18 which selected
the team yesterday. "It could
have won any Olympic Games
ever held and will do great in
Mexico City"
Kelly coached the United
States team in the first games at
Buenos Aires in 1851. The Uni
versity of Minnesota coach said
this is a far better squad than
the one that captured IL indi-
vidual competitions and two re-
lays in the % events four years
ago.
1--WE had three or four fellows
who weren't in the best shape
the last time" Kelly said. This
time We picked them on the ba-.
sis of performance and the best
information we could gather.
Idea of 1856 Team.
''This is an idea of what well
have in 1856 Olympic Games in
Melbourne" he added. We're
not sitting still and waiting for
the Russians. The Armed Forces
have done a great job. Their
cooperation has been terrific"
One-third of the team is made
up of servicemen and that
doesn't include Santee, who goes
back into the Marines in June.
The Kansan, Americas fastest
miller, returned to the winning
column Saturday in the national
AAU indoor championships when
he put aside his record ambitions
and concentrated on beating
Dennark's Gunnar Nielsen and
Fred Dwyer of the Armed Forces.
Santee trailed Dwyer to the
last lap and then collared the
little ex-Villanova flyer to win
in .4:07.9. He won by four yards
over Nielsen. who also passed
DWyer. The time wasn't much,
considering the way this trio has
been operating this year, but it
was enough to break Gil Dodds'
meet record of 4:D8.3 set in 1914.

lar season Atlantic Coast Con-
ference game tonight at Wake
Forest, and unless the TerpS win
they're going to have tough
Shedding in the ACC tournament
next week.
If the Terps should lose to
the DeaconS it probably will
mean they will meet dangerous
Virginia instead of South Caro-
lima, a relatively soft touch. in
the first round at Raleigh.
Tournament pairings are based
on regular season standings.
North Carolina State, which
trounced Maryland Saturday
night to even the seasons Sc
ries. can clinch first place by
beating North Carolina tomor-
row night at Chapel Hill. That
would give the Wolfpack top
seeded position in the tourna-
ment, but even if State wins the
tournament it will not represent
the conference in the NCAA
playoffs. The school is under
NCAA suspension for one year.
Duke has two games remain
ing, at Virginia and with North
Carolina at home. The Blue Dev-
lis could take second over Mary
land if they win both and Mary
land loses tonight.
Dick Hemric plays his final
home game at Wake Forest to-
night. The big center, who al
ready has smashed all records for
four shots attempted and free
throws made, is Ct points shy of
Frank Selvy's national scoring
record. However, Hemric has
played four varsity years and
Selvy made his mark in three
Maryland is 1913 in the con-
ference and 1876 overall, while
Wake Forest is 5-6 in the confer
ence and 1879 in all games. The

point margin by Duke Saturday.

game Thursday night at George

answer to all their problems, but
Kuharich believes it solves one
of the most battling.
Ralph played four years of
varsity football at Notre Dame,
beginning when freshmen were
eligible for varsity competition.
His four-year passing total of
2,973 yards is a school record,
surprising Angelo Bertelli's old
mark of 1882 made in 1943.
Guglielmi also broke Bob Will
liams' career records for most
passes thrown and most passes
completed with 209 competitions
in 435 attempts.
Regarded by Kuharich as an
outstanding all-around player,
Guglielmi completed 68 of 127
passes last year for 1,160 yards
and six touchdowns. He was not
held to be the best college passer
by many experts, however, in
Guiding Coach Weeb Ewbank of
the Baltimore Colts, who passed
him up to take George Shaw,
Oregon quarterback, as the
bonus choice in the draft.
Guglielmi also carried the ball
frequently in Notre Danes split
T formation, going over for five
touchdoWnS, and he was out
standing on defense, intercepting
five passes. He was sought by
several Canadian teams but said
he preferred to play pro football
in this country.
Kuharich said Guglielmi had
an ideal football temperament,
as well as a level head, and could
be used on defense when not at
quarterback. The Irish ace made
a hit with Bailey when they
roomed together for the East
West game at San Francisco,
and the Penn State star credited
his long, pre-game strategy talks
with Guglielmi for much of the
success that won him the acco-
lade of most valuable player in
that game.
After the signing, Guglielmi
was guest at the Touchdown

CAA Orders Operators Of
StratOcruiSerS to Install
Vibration Indicators

WASHINGTON, Rl-The Civil
Aeronautics Administration has
ordered airlines to install vibra-
ton indicators in all their Boeing
Stratocruisers.
The CAA also has urged that all
Stratocruiser operators replace
the hollow-steel propellers Of the
big Boeing airliners with solid
aluminium blades, with the vibra-
ton indicators as an interim
measure.
CAA took the action several
days ago as the result of ga whole
series Of incidents involving STRAIT
ocruisers," a spokesman for the
agency said yesterday.
The spokesman said the hollow
steel propellers have a tendency
to break and set up such a terrific
imbalance as to tear the engine
out of its mount.
He said the vibration indicators,
which have already been installed
in most Of the Stratocruisers, de-
tect and identify an engine vibra-
ton quickly enough to enable the
pilot or flight engineer to take &C
ton to avert engine destruction.
Pan American Anyways and
Northwest Airlines are the major
users of Stratocruisers in the Uni
ted States.
