EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) if K k4' f ELUSIVE America's Clyde very elusive as he reaches in vain for a rebound during Olympic basketball game with Chile in Helsinki. Chileans are Chinchilla Gallo (3) and V. Badrie Mahana (4). The defending U.S. team won, 103-55, for its fourth straight victory. Sport Parade Helsinki U.R) The best fights of the Olympic games were not being waged Wednes day in the "Messuhalli," an ov ersized quonset hut where tne boxing bouts are being held. As a matter of fact, the fisti cuffs on the whole were rather dull. The best brawls were go ing on among officials of this idyllic quadrennial brawl. Argentine mitt moguls were shaking a frenzied finger at a Finish referee, claiming the gent was of pinkish tendencies. Given Extra Dives The Russians screamed "foul" when Zoe Ann Jensen of the U. S. was given two extra dives because the springboard went bad, and the Reds got even in their own little way with a di ving judge who ignored the cat calls to subtract on Westerners and add on Easterners. Adding to the confusion, the Russians were yelping that they had been "robbed" of the light-heavyweight weight - lift ing title and nerves were so tight even among the semi-official families that Hungary and Rumania were ordered to replay their water polo game. Pete Mello, the United States boxing coach, wasn't bashful about getting into the fray, either. He was one of the first to protest a boxing match in which a Finish referee halted a bout between an Argentine and a Russian so the Red could have his even-redder eye patched. When things looked real tough for, the Soviet slugger, the ref eree disqualified the South Am erican. Scared of Russians 'That Finn was simply scared to death of the Russians and you can quote me," Mello bellowed. . "It's a lucky thing we have good athletes or we'd never get anywhere. I've just told my guys to go out and knock them stiff. That way there can't be too much argument, although ev en then you're not sure of win ning." Argentine boxing Coach Al fredo Porzio was nearly in tears. "Six men eliminated in the first round and only one lost," he stormed. "My heavyweight was crying before his match to day, he was so upset and demor alized. Then he loses the first time in his career. The morale of my fighters has been kill ed." There was a lot cf salty water under the nasal bridge, too, in the swimming department. The crowd concentrated on a lady judge named Bochina, who hap pens to be from somewhere east of Helsinki. When an American or Briton dived, Madame Boch ina held up the lowest point score among all the judges. MAIL TRIBUNE Lovelette (right) finds the ball By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer When a Russian dived, her card always showed the highest total in sight. Zoe Ann Flops Then Mrs. Jensen, wife of Jackie, the Washington Senators outfielder, contributed to the confusion when she did a dive that was a real floperoo. She landed in a position generally associated with Moslem prayer rugs. Little Zoe marched right up to the officials, told them their springboard would not do to flip flap-jacks, and got them to give her another chance. Late Tuesday night a number of gents with Red stars featur ed prominently on their jackets were demanding that (1) she take her first dive points, worth slightly less than a Finnish mark, or (2) that the whole bus iness be run over.
