Fast Track Awaits AAU Championships By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer Bakersfield, Calif. (U.R) A crack field of 550 athletes, pared down to their best battling weight after workouts in 80 degree heat, go to the line to night in the annual National AAU Track and Field Cham pionships. With many of the stars facing their last chance to qualify for the Olympic trials at Los An geles next week-end, this meet is expected to produce a record smashing orgy that will just about rewrite the AAU books. Near-perfect weather is ex pected to prevail and help the muscle-men to new marks on a track described by the athletes themselves as the fastest in the world. While such men as Bobby Mor row in tne sprints, ttev. rsoo Richards in the pole vault; Lou Jones and Jim Lea in the 400 meter run and Parry O'Brien in the shot, will be on hand, Dave Sime, the Duke flash, will be noticeable by his absence. Sime Resting Sime pulled a leg muscle run ning the 200-meter event at Berkeley in the NCAA meet, and has decided to sit out this com petition. He already has quali fied for the Olympic trials in the 100-meter event, finishing sec ond to Morrow In that race in the NCAA. The first six finishers in each event of the AAU meet will qualify for the Olympic trials. They will be added to six who qualified from the NCAA, and three who qualified from the all-service meet. So far this year, only two men who won Gold Medals at the 1952 games for U. S. have qual ified for the trials. They are shot-putter O'Brien and hurd ler Jack Davis both winning in the all-service meet. Another man. Milt Campbell has quali fied for the trials in the hurdles but he was on the 19b?. V. S team as a decathlon man. Among the 1952 Olympic stars who will attempt qualifying here in this two-day event are Horace Ashenfelter in the steeplechase, Richards in the pole vault, and Fortune Gordien in the discus. There is one event on the card here that actually is listed the finals for making the U. S. Olympic team. The men who finished among the first three in the 10,000 meter race probably will be set for a trip to Aus tralia. Favorite is Joe Tyler, the Navy man who broke the American record for the dis tance recently. Eight of the events on tonight's card are finals, the rest set for Saturday. A crowd of 10,000 is expected for the opening show, with a full house of 20,000 for the finals.
