By MILTON RICHMAN
New York- (UPD -Angry Ron
Delany told the "New York
crowds" to like it or lumo it-
he isn't going to run any fast
er inan necessary.
Turns out Delany has a
touch of Ted Williams in him.
He doesn't appreciate being
booed when he is, like last
Saturday night at Madison
Square Garden, he's apt to
tea otf his detractors.
The skinny mile kinerjin
from Dublin complained rath
er bitterly about "the New
York crowds which always
boo me" after he had droDrjed
down from his mile specialty
to win the half-mile event in
the relatively slow time of
1:52.2.
Delany said he didn't get
that kind of treatment any
where else. The victorv was
his 34th straight indoors and
it made less of an impression
with the crowd than the band
which blared away in the Gar
den stands.
The record-hungry crowd,
however, gave an ear-piercing
ovation to 17-year-old
John Thomas of Boston uni
versity, who high jumped
seven feet for the second time
in as many meets.

the conference title and a
crack at the NCAA champion
ship. Auburn Downs Tulane
Auburn, barred from any
postseason appearances, dis
played amazing shooting in
its final tuneup for Kentucky
by downing Tulane, 79-56.
The sixth-ranked Tigers con
verted 31 of 53 shots from
the field and added 17 of 22
free throws in scoring their
30th straight victory.
Kansas State also was red-
hot against Oklahoma. The
Wildcats hit on 41.4 per cent
of their field goal attempts
and 27 of 31 free throws in
scoring their 20th triumph in
21 games. Bob Boozer led
Kansas State -with 21 points,
one more than Oklahoma's
Ray Lewis.
A field goal by Dave Fahs
and two free throws by Bob
Anderegg in the final min
utes helped carry Michigan
State to victory over North
western. The Wildcats, led by
Willie Jones' 30 points, put
up a strong fight as the score
was tied six times in the first
half and four times in the
second half.
Purdue provided the Spar
tans with an important boost
by knocking off Indians,' 94

for second place. Michigan

the following week end. If

Father Dies
At Age 71
New York -(UPD- Timothy J.
(Tim) Mara, founder and
guiding genius of the New
York football Giants, whose
franchise he purchased as a
$2,500 whim in 1925, died of
a heart attack at his home
Monday night at the age
of 71.
Mara's wife. Giant team
physician Dr. Francis Sween
ey and a parish priest were at
his bedside when the end
came.
He had never seen football
played when Joe Carr, then
president of the National
Football League, urged him to
purchase the New York fran
chise.
It proved a successful gam
ble for the aggressive Mara,
who watched the Giants cap
ture the world professional
championship in 1927, 1934,
1938 and 1956 as well as win
the Eastern Division title 10
different times.
Under the Mara banner,
such greats as Ken Strong,
Ed Danowski, Tuffy Leemans,
Mel Hein, Ward Cuff and
Kink Richards performed in
Giant moleskins. More re
cently, the team has boasted
such stars as Arnie Wein
meister, Ray Poole, ' Frank
Gifford and Charley Conerly.
Gifford and Conerly led the
Giants to the Eastern Division
title this past season but the
team bowed to the Baltimore
Colts in a championship game
last December.
