( Newcomb Eyed i In NCAA Race LOS'ANGELES, June lJ-JJP)-The big question in NCAA track and field circlet today it: Will Jim Newcomb, the super chief from Southern California, run one or two miles come next Saturday? The 21-year-old Shawnee-Delaware Indian ii a major threat at either distance and is expected to bloster the Trojan's point total in their bid to deend their title. Only a sophomore, the rangy Portland. Ore., lad has posted marks of 4:07.7 for the miles and t:0T for the two-miles this season. The mile figure, incidentally, is the fastest for a collegian since Archie San Romani of Emporia (Kas.) Teachers and Don Lash of Indiana ran a dead heat in 4:07.2 in 1937, and the best ever done by a westerner on the West Coast. Last week Coach Jess Hill said his ace distance pupil would run the two-miles. But after Jim took the Southern Pacific AAU mile in 4:07.7 last Friday night, Hill changed his mind. "Now t don't know which it will be," Hills says. "I think I'll just wait until we get to Minneapolis and ask Jim how he feels. Then we'll make our decision." The decision is of extreme in terest to a couple of Dons, Gehr mann of Wisconsin and McEwcn of Michigan. The former is de f fending NCAA mile champion with a best mark of 4:10.2 this year. The latter is the big gun in the two-mile, having rambled 9:02, six tenths of a second under the NCAA record set by Notre Dame's Greg Sice in 1939.

Gordon has had a punchiest sea son with the Indians. He's batting .229 and has hit five home runs, a low figure for him. He is 35 and is believed to be earning around $35,000 this season. - All American league teams would have to waive on Gordon to per mit the Pirates to take him.

But he didn't win merely tied for the first place trophy. I Forrest Bierne, another business j one. The Record-Searchlight hurriedly put in an order today dor a sec ond trophy.
