Two Runners Crack World Track Marks United Press International Two world record spruit races, o'le or which won't be submitted for official recognition because of too much wind, helped set the l:ack 'a-.d field stage today for the important Perm and Drake re lays week o:ul. ttay Noton of San Jose State, rapidly gaining stature as a:i Olympic hope for next year, equalled the world mark of 10.1 seconds for too meters in a tri angular meet Saturday at San Jose; Calif., and he says he now feels he's "ready for my fastest racus." Bill , Woodhouse, often unjustly overlooked as a teammate of Olympic chamn Bobby Morrow at Abile;ie Christian College, eclipsed the wo-ld record for 100 yards at Abilene, Tex., Saturday by clock ing 9.1 seconds. However, Woodhouse's perform ance which bettered the offi cial mark of 9.3 seconds won't bo. offered as a record because of an. excessive tailwind. Norton's 100 meter mark, how ever, will be submitted. The San Jose speedster already shares the 100 yard record. The two sprint stars dominated a brilliant week end of activity which also saw the University of Kansas hold sway in the Kansas Itelays as it did in the Texas He lays' two weeks ago, Dave Mills star in the Ohio Relays at Colum bus, Ohio, and Yale University lake the team title in the Queens lona Belays in New York. Top results in nil these meets indicated the track ad field bri gade will be at its peak for the l'cnn Relays on Friday and Sat urday in Philadelphia and the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa, on the same days. The two carnivals annually share the cream of the nation's collegiate track crop and produce some of the best competition of the out door season. Boros, Burke Vie For Win HOUSTON, Tex. UPI) Easy going Julius Boros, a Connecticut Yankee now living in Florida and playing out of North Carolina, met comeback specialist Jackie Burke Jr. today in an 18-hole playoff for Ion money in the Houston Classic golf tournament. The two strongmen both over came front-running Arnold Palm er in Saturday's final round of the $:10.000 Classic at Memorial Park to end up in a tie for first place with 11-under-par 277s. Palmer, who had been co-fa-vorcd with Cary Middlccoff to win this 12th annual event, faded dur ing the final 27 holes to end up in a tie for third place with Mike Souchak of Grossinger, N.Y., with a 278. The third-place tie netted Souchak and Palmer $1,850 each. Today's playoff was the first of the current season, and only the second for the Houston Classic since it was started in 1H47. Palmer's bogey five on Sunday's llllh and final hole may have cost him as much as $2,430. He came into the ISth at even par for the day and another par for the hole would have put him in a three way tie for first and another j chance at the $4,300 top money. Second-place money is $3,000. The Ligonier, Pa., long-hitter drove his second shot six feet be yond the green, chipped to within five feet of the cup and then missed his putt by inches to take the bogey. Middlccoff pockeled $1,400 by roniing in for a three-way lie for fourth at 27!) with Chick llarbcrt of Norlhvillc, Mich., and Freddie Haas of New Orleans. Hilly Maxwell of Odessa, Tex., and Jay Ilehert of Sanford, Flu., lied at 280 for eighth place and netted $1,150 each. Paul Harney, Worcester, Mass.. and Wes Ellis Jr. of Aldercrcss, N.J., each carded 282s to win $975 apiece. Ray Puckett Places First, Second At Meet COVE 'Special i Ray Puckett, brother of Oregon's ace freshman sprinter Jim Puckett, took a first and second at the Pilot .Rock In vitational held Saturday, Conch V'ern Lowry said this morning.

Orlando Cepeda Leads Giants To Top In National League By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Laugh when you mention the sophomore jinx" because that's what Orlando Cepeda and the San Francisco Giants arc doing. Cepeda, the National League "rookie of the year" last season, certainly can afford to giggle with a cool .385 batting mark and a red-hot hitting streak of nine straight games. So can the Giants, now on the .hreshold of first place and mak nga legitimate pitch at the pen lant in their second year at San Francisco. The Giants climbed into a vir tual tie for the lead with the Braves when they beat the Car dinals, 3-1, Sunday. Southpaw Johnny Antonelli subdued St. Lou is-! ton eight hits for his third straight victory. Cepeda started Bill Rigney's crew on their way to victory when he doubled off loser Larry Jackson in the second in ning and rode home on Felipe Alou's single. He added a single later in the game. Willie Mays drove in two of the Giants' runs. Cincinnati poured it on for a 12-5 win over Philadelphia while Los Angeles walloped Chicago, 8-3. The Milwaukee-Pittsburgh game was postponed because of cold weather. In the American League, Kan sas City handed Cleveland its first defeat of the season after six straight victories, 4-3, but the Indians still retained first place. The Red Sox scored a 5-4 decision and the Orioles and Senators split a doubleheadcr, Baltimore win ning the opener, 7-5, and Wash ington taking the nightcap, 4-2. Cold weather caused postpone ment of the Detroit-Chicago game. Frank Robinson slammed his third homer and drove in four runs as the Reds mauled the Phils. Cincinnati put together two four-run rallies. NE.W SINGLE HANDLE FAUCET " FOR . KITCHENS... one handle does the work of two DON'S Plumbing Service 24Elm 3-2424 -. .' t -' " 'pw?? -v.-'. .
