(U.R) No body runs against time these days just fast enough to win! That's true if you can believe the coaches, and who are we to doubt the word of these noble 'lrmen ave Sime .doesn't . run agains time," says his assistant coach. Red Lewis of Duke Uni versity. "He's a great competitor. He runs just fast enough to win.'' ' Brutus Hamilton, who coaches Leamon King at University of California, ha about the same to say about his boy. , "King is a natural competitor. He runs just fast enough to win no faster. There's no telling how fast he can run if he is pushed." , Add A Few When you add Bobby Morrow of Abilene Christian and Mike Agostini of Fresno State to this bunch, it makes for an explosive situation in the NCAA track and field championships here this week-end. All . four men have equalled the world mark of 9.3 for the 100-yard dash and look good enough to better the world mark of 10.2 in the 100-meter event which will be featured in this Olympic year. Sime and King never have lost a race in their intercollegiate ca reers. Morrow has lost only two to Sime and Bobby Whilden of Texas, who has a 9.4 to his credit. Lewis sees practically no limit to the potentialities of his boy Sime. "Shucks," says Lewis, "if he is pushed there's no telling what he might do. Maybe 9.1 in the 100; and maybe even a 19.8 or 19.7 In the 220. Not Talking "Dave likes to train and he likes to eat. I have to watch both to keep him in good condition. But there's one thing he doesn't want to talk about and that is running against time. "All he wants to do is run fast enough to win. But if he is pushed, and if he gets off to a good start, thrn it's hard to tell just what might happen." Hamilton has said just about the same things about King. So, to paraphrase the currently pop ular song, "Something's gotta give"' this week-end in Berkeley. Is Thaf So? So you think the bait, flies and plugs the modern anglers uses make up a weird assort ment. Brother, it isn't a patching on what the angler of old used among the indispensables were sheep's blood, man's fat, and "oyl of earthworms." But let me give you a sampl ing of some pieces which I col lected for my book. "An Angler's Anthology" (Stackpole, Harris burg). "To speak then generally of Baites, they are divided into three kinds, which are,1 live g.f3-56 baites, Dead-baitesc Baites liv ing but in appearance only," writes Gervase Markham, who lived from 1568-1637. "Your live baits are wormes of all kindes, especiall the Red worm,' the Maggot, the Bobbe, the Dor, Browne Flyes, Frogs, grashoppers. Hornets,. Waspes, Bees, Snailes, small Roaches, Bleades, Goldgins, or Loches. "Your dead Baites are pastes of all makings, your brood of Wasps dried or undried, the clotted blood of Sheepe, Cheese. Bramble-berries, Corne, Seedes, Cherries, and such like. "And your Baites which seem to Live, yet are Dead, are Flyes artifically made of all sorts and shapes, made of silks and Feath ers about your Hookes, which well serve for every several seasons through the yeare, and being by your Line moved upon the water, seems to be live Flies, wljich the fish with great greedi ness will catch up and devoure." Now, not all anglers of those days made up their own baits. For example, William Gilbert, coming a generation later, wrote: "Go to Mother Gilbert's at the Flowr-de-Luce and whilst you are drinking of a Pot of Ale, beg the Maid make you two or three Penyworth of Ground Bait, and some' Paste; and observing of them (he added shrewdly) you will know how to make it your self for any other Place. . . " More Specific As foi a real fish-taking bait, Robert Howlett, 1706, is more specific. He gives a recipe which the angler can eat saving the Fat. But let him tell it: "Take a fat goose or Duck, pluck and draw it, then take sage, marjoram, and French lav ender, of each a like quantity, and shred it small: of castor, Gum - armoniack, calamus aro maticus.

"When you have occasion, take a quantity of the Fat that dript from him, and mix it well with oyl of a dead man's scull, and oyl of Earthworms and use the ointment for the arming of your hook: then fix six or eight inches of your Line next" above the hook, and then dip your bait in it after it's on the hook, and fish." The earliest recipe for a bait in tha English language by a wo man, too Madame Dame Bern ers.'aathor of The Boke of St. Albans, 1496 is written thus: "For Baytes for grete fysshe, kepe especyally this rule: whan ye haue take a grete fysshe: vndo the mawe: & what ye fynde therein, make that your bayte: for it is beste." Finally, here's one which uses "man's fat" and for this in gredient the reader is directed to go to any surgeon. The writer, Grevelle Fennel, says: "Monsieur C h a r r a s. Apoth ecary royal to the late French King, Lewis the Fourteenth, says: 'Take of man's fat and cat's fat, of each half an ounce; mum my, finely powdered, three drams; cumminseed, finely pow dered one dram; distilled oil of aniseed and spite, of each six drops; civet, two grains: and camphire, four grains; make an ointment according to art.'

Fists Fly, I Tri-City Wins By RAY ANDREWS 1 United Press Sports Writer It took 5 hours and 10 minutes of baseball and a 10-minute rhu barb to do it, but the Tri-City Braves today hold a tenuous grip on second spot in the Northwest League pennant chase. The Braves edged Spokane 13-12 in the first game of a twin bill last night and then am bushed the Indians 17-0 in the second game. An added attraction was a fist flailing battle which broke out in the fourth inning of the opener and ' saw members of both teams get in a few licks before order was restored. Yakima, the' league leaders, had a serene and peaceful eve ning blanking Lewiston 5-0 be hind two-hit hurling by Charlie Drummond. It was Drummond's sixth victory of the season. Vince Njreci hit solo homer for the Bears in the first and Herm Reich did likewise in the seventh while Herm Lewis con tributed a two-run homer in the third. Wenatchee checked in with a 9-4 verdict over Eugene although each team chalked up nine hits. Glen Isringhaus, Wenatchee hurler, outlasted a pair of Eu gene chuckers for the decision. Dick Watson with three hits in five trips and two runs batted in was the leading Wenatchee hitter. Bill Gridley of Eugene homered in the seventh with the bases empty.
