Gray KO Victim;
Woodland Wins

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. "a
(AP). - Welterweight Willie
Gray and Lightweight Calvin
Woodland of Washington both
were involved in first-round
knockouts at the Cambria last
night, but Gray would just as
soon forget about his part in
the proceedings.
Billy Lynch of Hartford,
Conn, landed a right hand on
Gray's chin midway of the
opening round and although
the Washington fighter got to
his feet at the count of nine,
Referee Joe Sweeney stopped
the scheduled eight-round fea-
ture. Gray appeared helpless
on the ropes.
Woodland required only 2:09
to put away Ellis Phillips of
Philadelphia in a scheduled
four-round preliminary.

Bowie Feature
Attracts Eight
3-Year-0|ds
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

Eight of the better 3-year-
olds in Maryland will match
strides today in Bowie's $4,000
added George Washington
Stakes at 6 furlongs.
With more showers being
forecast, a muddy track was
in prospect for the third week.
end program of the meeting
The unpleasant weather was
expected to limit the crowd to
about 10000.
Harold G. BenSing's Dicks
Pet, an impressive winner last
Saturday at Bowie in a 5b
furlong allowance sprint, was
a slight choice in the George
Washington Stakes, first of two
added events for 3-year- olds at
the meeting. The $4,000 Gov
ernor's Gold Cup, the richest
3-year-old prize of the session,
is scheduled for March II.
A pair of 3-year-olds-Daddy
R. and Proud Fox-from the
stable of Mrs. Ada L. Rice, will
try to provide the Chicago out
fit with its second straight
stakes victory at Bowie. Last
Saturday, Rare Rice, carrying
the Rice colors, won the South
ern Maryland Handicap.
Daddy R. finished third be-
hind Dicks Pet in his 3-year-old
bow last week end but figures
to improve. Last fall, Daddy
r. was second in the Remsen
Stakes and appears the
stronger of the Rice pair. Nick
Shuk, who won the Southern
Maryland with Rare Rice, is
slated to pilot Daddy R.
Mrs. Romeo Delorme's Mike
nike, who was second in his
first start of the year to Dicks
Pet, is also due strong backing
Jockey Phil Grimm will handle
the reins.
Outsiders in the George

Double Heritage won her last
race at Bowie and is the only
filly in the field.
For the ninth straight after
noon, an off track prevailed at
Bowie yesterday as a crowd of
8,715 wagered 1881, 527 on the
nine races. Despite the mud

Terps Trail
In SWIMMING

RALEIGH, N. c., Feb. "a
(AP). - North Carolina car
ried a narrow lead today into
the final session of the three
day Atlantic Coast Conference
swimming meet.
The Tar Heels led Maryland,
IA to toy, with North Caro-
line State a strong birthplace
contender at 5412. Virginia
and Duke had 8 each, Wake
Forest 4 and Clemson l.
While North Carolina and
Maryland were piling up
points during the first two ses-
sions of the meet, North Caro-
lima State was winning indi-
vidual crowns.
States Pete Fogarsy won
the 200 individual medley and
the 200-yard breaststroke. d
Spencer set a record in the
200 butterfly and Smokey Ellis
won the 50-yard free style.
Spencer swan his event in
2:04.7, beating by tWo-tenths
of a second the old record set
last year by Spencer.
. The lack of a roster as deep
as those of Maryland and
North Carolina kept the Wolf
pack from challenging for the
lead.
The meet ended this after
noon after trials and finals in
the 100 butterfly, 100 free
style, 100 breaststroke, 100
backstroke, 440 free style, 400
medley relay and the high dive.
Since only a few of the con-
ference'S schools have high
diving facilities, that event did
not count in the team stand
ings.
The conference winner will
be selected by combining EACH
teams standing in the meet
with it's standing during dual
meets this past season.
Maryland placed first in dual
meet competition, North Caro-
lima State was second and
North Carolina third. Mary
land needed only a second
place finish in the meet to
clinch the title.

Apprehensive

@. You said: boy, that was a
real fireball!" as you started
the re-entry process. Can you
describe to us your sensation as
you started and during re-
entry?
A. The sensation during re-
entry during the fireball. I
guess you'd say cautious appre-
henSion, or something like that.
Now this is an unknown area,
OF course. We've had very little
experience with a man inside a
glowing fire like this that you
can see outside the window. We
have confidence that the abba
ton shield will take care of
this. 1t did. ~
But this is a completely new
experience and you're a little
apprehensive of it at the time,
I think.
No Comment on Russians
@. Did you observe anything
that was at variance with the
reports of the two Russian
aStronautS?
A. Well, I don't know that
we've had real complete reports
from the Russian cosmonauts
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-02-24

the heat shield? We were told
that it was in the first orbit.
I'd like to know if it was in the
first or the second orbit. Sec
ondly, apparently there was
some discussion about aborting
the mission after the second
orbit or ending the mission pre-
maturely. I was wondering if
you can tell us about this and
whether it was on your decision
that they went on into a third
orbit.
A. Well, let's see. The first
question was whether I can be
more specific on when I had
information that we might have
heat shield trouble. I really
don't recall. Do you recall, Al,
you were on.
Comdr. Sheppard On the
third orbit over Hawaii. @
Col. Glenn-That was just
before retro. ..
Comdr. Shepard-Yeah.
Col. Glenn - That's on the
third orbit.
Col. PoWers-The people in
the control center knew about
it much earlier in the flight.
I think perhaps the first you
knew about it, John, was down
in the third orbit.
Col. Glenn-Well, you knew
it. I believe. at the end of the
first orbit. I think they knew
it at the end of the first orbit.
Don't pin me down on this one,
but I believe they knew it at the
end of the first orbit and I
think there were questions put
out to me about it during that
second orbit-about whether I
had a light indication or not.
Once again, we'll play back
the tapes and we can have it
down almost to the second. I
don't believe this is of any sig
nificance, however.
The second part of your ques-
tion-whether to terminate the
flight at the end of two orbits.

Ridan, Prego, Crimson Satan
and other good Derby age
prospects.

in the field of a dozen.
The Florida bred Cavalcade,
winner of the Florida Breeders

Flamingo eligible and could
follow in the footsteps of
Needles and Carry Back as a
3-year-old.
With Sir Gaylord out, lead
ing Flamingo candidates at
this stage appear to be Dead

Eighty-one were nominated
for Hialeah's richest race for

Advice BIocked Out

@. Did you hear Comdr.
Shepard advise you to try to
jettison your retro pack when
you reached to ~ Gs on the
re-entry?
A. No. I did not. And this
occurred just at the beginning
of communications loss and the
reason we know this is-last
night, after we finished a meet
ing. we finally had copies of
the on-board recorder tape and
we played these over last night
rather late and went through
the re-entry and AL comes on
the air just at the start of this
communication and starts to
tell me to jettison this, and the
people that were listening with
me said that that is what he
went ahead and said.
He's about halfway through
his transmission and fades right
out to nothing and I never re-
ceived it. If we had three more
seconds, I guess, Of time before
we got our communications
blackout during re-entry I
would have received the mes
sage.
Yes. The straps were gone by
then anyway. The straps went
off when we had, I estimate,
not over half-a-G on the cap
sule.
Fingertip Lights Handy
@. Did you use the little red
lights at the end of your fin
gertips on your gloves?
A. Yes. I found these very
handy. These were-I could
turn them on and off with a
little switch on the back of the
hand. The little fingertip lights
are very small bulbs, for looking
at charts. for checking the maps
and in the tight capsule light
ing we have these turned out
to be very handy and I used
them repeatedly. 1 like them
very much and glad we decided
to put them on.
@. would like to know if it
has been determined as yet or
whether you'll have to wait for
a future date as to whether the
heat shield was actually in dan
ger of becoming loose or
whether it was actually a false
signal.
A. No, it was a false signal.
I think this has been reason
ably well-determined now that
it was a faulty
Webb. {. 1t was a malfunc-
tioning limit switch that gave
a false signal. The heat shield
was securely lodged all the time
we were worrying so.

Lakers C|inch
Title, Go After
Division Mark
BY the Associated Press


The Los Angeles Lakers, new
Western Division champions Of
the National Association, now
have another goal-they want
to set a division record for
victories.
The LakerS clinched the di-
vision championship last night
with a 124-1l7 overtime victory
over the Chicago Packers in a
game typical of the close ones
they have been winning all
year.
We've won 48 games now"
said Lakers' Coach Fred Schaus,
land need only four more vic
tories in our last 10 games to
set a division record. We want
that record. We're not about to
slack off during the rest of the
regular season."
The record is held by st.
Louis, which was 5l-28 in 1860
81. Los Angeles now is 1922.
The Boston CelticS hold the
MIA record, 59-16 in l959-60.
West Hero for Lakers
The CelticS mover step
nearer their sixth straight East
ern Division title yesterday by
beating Syracuse, 121-107, and
can clinch the championship
with any combination of four
victories or Philadelphia losses.
They play the Warriors in Phil
adelphia tonight.
In other games last night,
Cincinnati tripped Detroit, 1874
1T, and New York handed St.
Louis its fifth straight defeat ).
130-118.
The Lakers won the title byj
overcoming dfeicits of IA points
at halftime and seven points
with 2:07 to play. Jerry West.
who led the Lakers' scoring with
80 points, sent the game into
overtime when he hit a jump
shot with IL seconds to play.
West then sank four free
throws in the extra period as
the Lakers reeled off eight
straight points for a 1910
lead and the victory. Until the
overtime. Los Angeles never had
been ahead since the first
quarter.
Expect to Have Baylor
The Lakers, climaxing a
great comeback that began two
years ago when they moved to
the West Coast from Minnea-
polls, played without their
great star, Elgin Baylor, who is
in the Army.
I'VE expect Baylor to be
available for most of the play
offs Schaus said. HE has
ABOUT IA Gays leave Time &C,
cumulated." To-
Los Angeles will meet the
winner of the Detroit Cincin-
natl series in the Western Di-
vision playoff finals, with that
winner to play the Eastern
champion. Cincinnati is second
in the division, Detroit third.
Schaus said two things gave
the Lakers the title-"West-
VINO has been coming through
all year-and the fact we de-
cided on lineup two years ago
and have changed it very
little"

Space Rendezvous
Idea Considered

@. In the future we have
planned to experiment with a
so-called rendezvous or dock
ing technique in space and it's
going to be important to know
how your depth perception is in
space. Did you have any trou-
BILE figuring out just where the
booster was when it started
leaving the capsule?
A. No. This was quite a sight.
=. The booster was sitting
there probably within a hun
dred yards. Very visible, very
clear. We talked about this
during debriefing. If I had the
capability of having a little
thrust to move over that direc-
ton, could I have unanswered
toward it? I think very def
nitely you could. I don't think
this would be any problem at
all from that distance.
Now the booster because of it's
different velocity assumes a lit
tie different orbit than I had
and it went slightly under me
and was passing ahead of me
and under in a lower orbit the
last time I saw it. This was out
pretty well towards the coast
of Africa and I didn't see it
again after that.
Studying Control Factor
@. We know the answers
aren't all in yet, but on the
basis of your present judg-
ments, where would you pin
down the control problems-to
the horizon scanners, that re-
set the, gyros, to the gyros or to
that reaction jet that didn't
appear to be working?
A. I think it was a combina-
ton of things. I think we had
a little bit of structure trouble.
I think we-on the horizon
scanners, I'm not sure. I think
that perhaps some of the hori-
Zon Scanner trouble could have
been eliminated had we gone
to a pre-gyro position. We
didn't do this. We're still get
ting our horizon scannery in
puts. This may possibly have
added to our troubles. It's
easy, though, to hindsight this
1920 after you're on the
ground, but we're still looking
into these things.
los Degrees Inside Cabin
@. Could you tell me what
was the highest cabin temporal
ture-during the flight?
A. think the onboard cabin
temperature, about the highest
I observed was about los
degrees. This once again,
we're checking telemetry re-
cords and will probably have
more accurate information on
that later on.
