Charlie Dumas Of Los Angeles

his position as the worlds best
high jumper.
Two Dual Meets
These changes were outlined
by Coach George Eastment
today as the American team
went through its final prac-
tice session. The Polish meet,
unlike the one against the
Russians, will be two dual
meets-men against men and
women against women. At
Moscow the Russians outscored
the United States on aggregate
points, l72-l70. The United
States men won 1876 to lO9.
Dumas was the biggest dis
appointment in the American
mems triumph over the Rus
slams. He trained very little
and told the coaches and
friends he was saving up for
the actual competition. in
which he cleared only 6 feet
77s inches and finished third
behind two Russians.
May Use Southern
Eastment said Oerter was
called home but didn't give the
reason.
Segrest finished last in the
200 at Moscow and another
sprinter will be given a chance.
EaStment said no decision has
been made as to his replace
ment but Eddie Southern. a
400-meter man from Dallas,
Tex, is a good guess.

lon champion and hero Of the

was surprising to hear that Bud

TITS all right for us to earn a

players"
Perhaps it is wrong for a coll
lege graduate to continue play
ing games, but most can't earn
as much money when starting
out in their chosen academic
fields as they can in pro foot
ball. What's wrong with getting
a stake, getting enough to buy
a home or to set up in business?
Were the coaches envious?
Just as surprising was Will
kinson's knock against the Ma
tional Football League player
draft. Did the subcommittee
know that college freshmen
are obliged to sign a statement
Of intent before they may par
ticipate in collegiate sports?
Was it told that once a boys

can't change his mind. It's

Wyatt is the chap who bust
