Towards this goal, Thomas
pointed his efforts. During the
spring months he competed in up
to seven different events at vari-
GUS track meets. His highs speak
for themselves-high jump: 6'10";
running broad jump: 90 g.; jave-
lin: 100; shot put: 4S'6"; 100 yard
dash: 81 sec; 12O-high hurdles:

to offer alibis for Thomas stun
ming defeat, the detected loser
would admit no defense for his
case.
His disappointments were not
over, however, for the following
winter Thomas met defeat at the
hands of Brunei on three straight
outings.
Beaten Again
Johns hope for another try at
the outstanding Russian athlete
hinged on his qualifying for a Rus
sian tour in the AAU competition.
At this point his career hit an all
time low, when for the first time
in American collegiate competi-
ton, John placed second in a meet,
unable to clear feet.
Fortunately for John, second
place was good enough to qualify
for the tour and his wish to face
Brunei was answered. American
headlines shortly there after, re-
ported that Brunei had once again
taken young Thomas, this time
with a new Worlds record of IA"
(bettering Johns record of 1877.
Most Americans accepted it as
another Choke up" for Thomas,
but what few knew is that John
jumped 72" before that eventful
Worlds mark was set. The pair
conferred, following BrumePs sue
cessful jump of 7'2", on where
the bar would be set for the next
try. Both agreed that it should be
put up for a new record, so the
officials lifted it two inches before
the next jump.
In his first two tries, John was
unable to clear the mark; but in
his last attempt, he cleared the
hurdle and was prone in the saw
dust pit before the bar wiggled
and toppled in behind him. 1t
could have been a gust of wind,
or a strong will on the part of the
partisan Russian crowd, but the
record book only shows a high of
T2", and offers no consolation
prize for a near miss. Brunei
then tried the seemingly impossi-
BILE mark, and in his third attempt
he cleared it to take the contest
and set a new worlds record.
Beginning of the End?
This seemed to be the beginning
of the end for Thomas, for instead
of continuing to improve, he had
difficulty clearing what had been
routine - 7 feet.
This past winter he was able
to do it only once lin the Cleve-
land K of c Meet, and he slipped
to relative obscurity in the collegi-
ate ranks.
At the present time, John is
ranked fourth in the nation, having
cleared only a high $40" this
spring - a mark he reached as a
senior in high school. But few real
ize that Thomas sacrificed any
chance of regaining his interna-
tional prestige in favor of being a
team man on the Blu track team.
This spring marked Johns final
round of eligibility in collegiate
circles. Blu had a very small but
promising group of varsity per-
formers and with the additional
events that Thomas could perform
in and win, the Terriers stood an
excellent chance of doing some
damage in the larger New England
meets.

JOHN THOMAS NAMED BOSTON
UNIVERSITIES ATHLETE OF THE YEA

John Curtis Thomas Americas celebrated collegiate
high jumper received the highest honor his fellow Students

the sports world when he cleared
7 feet in the high jump while only
a freshman at Blu. But John was
not always a 7-footer, and his
story should serve as an inspira-
ton to youngsters just starting
out in the athletic world.
Thomas began his high jumping
as a freshman at Ringe Tech High
School in Cambridge, Mass. In his
first competitive jump as a fresh
man he could manage only 49,"
AS a sophomore, his best effort
was So.
In his senior year at Tech, Thorn
as gave evidence of his potential
greatness. In the State Meet that
year he topped 6'8"A and while
touring Japan that summer, the
lanky teenager reached an aston
ishing $40" 5/8.
The following fall he entered Blu
to come under the tutorage of one
of Americas greatest all-time field
events coaches, Ed Flanagan,
Thomas wasted no time establish
ing himself as Americas leading
collegiate jumper, as he cleared Z
feet for the first time that winter
in the New York Millrose games.
He has since cleared the barrier
70 times to date.
First Setback
Then came a setback that earned
for him the unfair tag of Choke
up, as the youngster carried the
weight of the Country's interna-
tional prestige to the 1860 Olym-
pics in Rome. From the time he
set foot on the European contin-
ent, John was unable to find a
moments rest. Autograph hounds
and sportswriters logged him from
sunrise to sunset, leaving him

Some Gains
There are increases, of course.
The two Los Angeles clubs are
ahead of a year ago, and the Card
inals, Yankees, Senators, Indians,
White Sox, Philies and Red Sox
have shown gains - some sub
stantial, some small.
Milwaukee received a big league
in 1853, Baltimore in "a,
Kansas City in 555, San Francisco
and Los Angeles (NL) in '58, Min
nesota and Los Angeles (AL) in
81, and Houston and New York

The question does not seem to
be are such clubs as the AS, ORR
oles, and others now showing de-
clines planning to move, but rath-
err: can they afford to stand still?
Whether you happen to be a fan
owner or not, the idea in baseball
today is to make money. 1t has to
be. Operating costs have mounted
far beyond a point where a ball
club is a plaything - not even for
a Tom Yawkey.
Texas Ready
A dropping-off of attendance in
the spring is hardly an alarming
thing. But an overall decline of
major proportions from one end
of the schedule to the other very
definitely is serious business and
calls for ownership to look for a

Whether the AS go into the
Worth area or not,
some major league club ought to,
because it surely is one Of the most
sections of the country.
In fact, folks down that way con-
tend that it could be another Mil
waukee, when the Braves first in
vaded the Wisconsin metropolis.
Actually, there is reason to ex-
pect that attendance in both ma
jors will climb steadily as the
schedule progresses.
There apparently has been a re-
markable dwelling of talent in the
American League, with all sorts of
strange names playing key roles
up and down the standing. Clubs
like Kansas City, Minnesota, and
Los Angeles are capable Of upset
ting anybody these days, and there
is no telling how far they might
go as their rockies develop with
experience.
Good Bench
Cleveland, even under player
thin expansion conditions, has come
up with a good bench, a factor
that makes them a solid contender
in the AL. At the same time, the
Yankees are obviously in trouble.
Their Luis Arroyo, bull pen ace of
a year ago, is now on the disabled
list and no one knows how long
Mickey Mantle will be out.
Boston, with Yawkey's almost
financial support, is I'M
able to add the key men needed to
give its youth program a lift, and
is struggling. But it is the sort Of
young club that could catch fire
at any moment.

that finished seventh place in 1861,
battling the Cleveland Indians, and
New York Yankees for the 1862
pennant. At this writing they were
a half a game out of first place
along with Cleveland.
Baseball attendance has fallen
off in some sectors. But nowhere
has the drop been more alarming
than at Milwaukee.
So far in 20 home games the
Braves have drawn only 152,367.
At this rate the Milwaukee club
would total only 617,O58 for the
81 game home season.
That would be down almost so

ANCHORAGE R Alaska Highway Maintenance Engineer John H. Myers Saturday announced his resignation in a letter to acting Highway Commissioner Sam F. Johnson.
 In announcing his resignation, ef- fective yesterday, Myers said he felt 1t unnecessary to detail any reasons "in light of recent events. !"
 Myers said he did feel that an explanation Of lis lis action was re- quired and said he toek this this course Ito protect his own interests. z
 The Anchorage engineer said he was referring to the recent firing by Gov. Wn. Egan of Asst. High way Engineers A. c. Gardner and Donald R. Roser. Gardner had of ficially submitted his resignation before the firing and Roser had indicated his intention of resigning, Myers said.
 Tn lieu of the usual notice, Myers said, he has offered his services free of charge for two weeks to help make an orderly transfer ot information to successor. Saying that his decision was noi made in haste, Myers declared:
 Careful consideration convinces |me that such action is iiI the best interests of all involved" Myers, who has 31 years expert ence in highway maintenance, came to Alaska two years ago from Wyo. ming after spending % years ir their road department as distSis' maintenance engineer.
 His future plans are indefinite al this time, Myers concluded.

PIMA Wants Investigation of AIaska's Family Plan Fare

WASHINGTON R Pacific Northern Airlines has asked the Civil Aeronautics Board to sus- pend and investigate reduced fam fly plan fares proposed by Alaska Airlines oetWean Portland. Seattle and Anchorage.
 Pacific Northern said Alaska plans to continue during May and June the family fare which here tofore has been in effect only in the winter months. It would enable members of family, travelling with person paying the fnll fare, to fly at one-third reduction in ticket cost.
 Pacific Northern said that the mainland Alaska air traffic market is relatively inelastic so far as the stimulating effect of fare re- ductions is concerned" and that generally speaking family fares do not promote traffic in that market.
 The complaint added that even though the market is inelastic, cus- toners nevertheless are very cost conscious and will use the lowest available fare.
