MedforivTribune SrPdDMTr Row With AAU Over Landy Trip Apparently Settled .San Francisco u.P.) A row over AAU procedure, which for a time threatened to prevent Australian miler John Laridy's participation in two California track meets, has apparently been settled. - It had been announced that Landy, who had cracked the four-minute, barrier more often than any other man, would run at a dual 'meet between UCLA and USC in the Los Angeles Coliseum May 5 and at the West Coast Relays in Fresno May 12. But yesterday American AAU officials, headed by executive secretary Dan Ferris in New York, announced that the invi tation to Landy was '"highly ir regular" because it had not been made through the proper chan nels. Jeopardize Standing "If Landy came to the United States to run without approval of our AAU and that of his homeland," said Ferris, "he would jeopardize his amateur standing. As of this moment, we have received no request from anyone for permission for Landy to run in this country." However, Harold Berliner, veteran AAU official and vice chairman of the U. S. Men's Track and Field committee, said that no rules had been broken. He said officials of the Cen tral California AAU and the Southern Pacific AAU have mailed applications to Ferris for Landy to run in their meets. Ferris said that since the for mal applications were en route to his office, he was "sure it can be arranged." Australia's amateur athletic More thon 27,000,000 DAVIS Tires have brands!

For Phoenix Delmar Brood, Bill Madden and Lewellyn Witte are slated for the shuttle hurdles. Brood, Madden, Witte and Charles Swingle for the spring medley, Jim Korth the javelin and Brood also the pole vault. Phoenix and Jacksonville scheduled a dual track meet this afternoon. Spieser Nabs TKO Victory Detroit (U.R) Chuck Spieser the potent puncher who lias pounded his way into the fourth spot among light heavyweight challengers, proved he's a boxer, too, against youthful Joe Rowan. The 26-year-old Spieser, a for mer NCAA and Olympic champ ion scored a sixth, round techni cal knockout over Rowan Wednesday night by completely closing Rowen's left eye. "I punched for the first two rounds," said Spieser. "Then when I saw his eye was swelling I switched to boxing. I felt pretty good to do some bobbing and weaving for a change." Accuracy Retarded Dr. Joseph Calahan, physician of the Michigan State Boxing commission, stopped the nationally-televised bout after the fifth round. With only one eye open, Rowan's accuracy was retarded. Spieser, who weighed 173, spotted Rowan 6V2 pounds plus five years in age. But neither aided the young Philadelphian who was practically a punching bag after the first round. GOVERNOR TO THROW Brooklyn (U.R) Gov.
