Penn, Drake Relays to Test America's Olympic Hopefuls , (By United Pccki) The Penn Relays at Philadelphia and the Drake Relays at Des Moines, Iowa, this weekend are the next stops for Amer ica's Olympic-minded track and field stars. , , The two big relay carnivals,. both featuring some special races along with the baton-passing events, figure to draw standout fields as U. S. 'runners put their training into high gear for the Olympics coming up this summer. ' American track and field : : 1 athletes blew hot and cold during a busy weekend just concluded. On the "hot" side, there was a 57 foot, 4 '4 inch shot put by former Yale Star Jim Fuchs of thd New York AC the best . anywhere in the world this year. On the "cold" side, there was the dismal showing in the famed Boston marathon won tor the seventh straight year' by a foreign er us Doroteo Flores of Guatemala hent"v"fc Dyrgull of- New York by more than a half-mile. Fred . Wilt, two-mile star who claims the U. S. "doesn't have much chance" in Olympic long distance racine, won a special 5,000 meter run in the Seton Hall Relays in 15:00.5. Records Set There were plenty of meet rec ords set at the Seton Hall games in Newark, N. J., the Ohio Relays, at Columbus, Ohio, and the Kan sas Relays at Lawrence, .Kan. These seemed to indicate that U. Sr runners are rounding into top form. Manhattan College reeled off a new meet record of 1:26.2 for the 880-yard relay at Seton Hall, and Georgetown's four-mile relay set another with a 17:43.8 clocking. Kansas made the Georgetown clocking look weak, the Jayhawk ers setting a new meet record of 17:18.3 at Lawrence. That was only 2.2 seconds off the American rec ord set by Indiana 15 years ago. Highlight of the Kansas team s win was a 4:11.6 anchor leg by Wes Santee. . Also in the Kansas Relays, Okla homa set a new . record of 3 :14 8 for the mile relay; Jim Gerhart of Texas posted 47 feet, 2 inches in the hop, step and jump, Leo Yoder of Arkansas clocked 52:5 seconds in the 400-meter hurdles; and Tex as equalled the 880-yard record of 1:25.2. . Darrow Hooper of Texas A & M accomplished the second leg in his attempt to repeat a sweep of shot put and discus events at the Texas, Kansas, and Drake games. He took the Kansas events with a 53-foot, 9 inch shot put and a 152 feet, SVt discus throw. The Ohio Relays, revived for the first time since 1932, saw nine rec ords set for the Ohio State stadium. Most impressive of these was a new world record of 9:56.3-for the two-and-a-half mile medley relay by the University of Michigan, erasirlg by 3.1 seconds a mark set by North Texas State 14 years ago. Jack Carroil raced the quarter mile in 46.1 seconds, Aaron Gordon stepped a half-mile in 1:54.2, -John Ross, flashed three-quarters of a mile in 3:04.8. apd Don McEwen raced a mile in 4:11.3. As far as Uncle Sam is con cerned, there was a "joker" in the Michigan triumph Carroll, Ross, and McEwen are all Canadians. Right now they rank as strong contenders for Canada's Olympic team.

Mon day by Robert A. Hall of Yale, chairman of the television com mittee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. "If the colleges do not now establish a principle of sharing the receipts of televised football, a financial premium will be cre ated that will kill amateur- foot ball," said Hall in a radio talk. Hall, who also Is chairman cf Yale's athletic board of control, predicted that within two' or three years the total annual proceeds from televised football would amount to more than $10,000,000 as the result of a pay:as-ydu-see plan. Under a pay-as-you-see pro gram, it would cost a TV set own er about $1 to watch a football game. Hall explained that for the com ing 1952 season, sponsors will pay a fee to the colleges whose game is being televised, and that this will be the source of current television receipts rather than pay-as-you-see. , An attempt is being made as a p&rt of the atomic energy program to make photosynthesis, tne cap ture of solar energy by usable chemicals, take place outside the living cells.

Taking over ivt second base for the New York Giants as a replace ment for the fiery Stanky has been an ordeal for the 23-year-old from Dallas; He Isn't one given much to oratory but he gives you the idea In very few words. "I can't understand all this com parison business," - Davey com ments with a frown on his boyish looking face. "I'm not trying to be another Stanky. All I want to be is Williams, doing my job my own way." Stanky, who couldn't hit and couldn't run but always seemed to be on base, was the spirit last season of a never-say-dle Giant team which came from nowhere to win the National League flag in dramatic fashion. . Put on .Spot When he was traded away so he could become manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, Williams was put squarely on the spot.
