just one and one quarter
inches shy of the fabled Jesse
Owens' 24-year-old record.
The Americans blasted into
their lead on the strength of
one-two finishes in the 100
meters, 110-meters hurdles,
400-meters run and the shot

Moscow metal worker, hurled
the ball and chain 219 feet to
beat Olympic champion and
world record holder Hal Con

Tiger Doesn't
Like Decision
Syracuse, N. Y. -(UPD- Rory
Calhoun of White Plains, N.Y.,
who sparred his way through
10 undistinguished rounds
with Dick Tiger of Nigeria to
earn a split and. much dis
puted decision Friday night,
agreed with most ringsiders
who called the televised bout
a real loser.
"I know the fight didn't
make me look good but it
takes two to make a bout and
I was the only one fighting,"
Calhoun said after the boring
return match, .
Tiger, 29 figured, as ex
pected, that he was robbed
and his handlers said "never
again will we. come to Syra
cuse. The officiating was terrible."
Scribes Agree
Sportswriters tended to
agree with the loser's corner.
Six boxing writers gave the
verdict to Tiger, middleweight
champion of the British em
pire., Calhoun claimed that his
first go. with Tiger had made
the Nigerian cautious and un
willing to try topress the
fight. But Tiger was courage
ous enough to get in close, re
peatedly during the fight to
score well with short jabs to
both the head and body.

Race officials said they still
have had no word on the lo
cation of Janie, la Portland
sloop which they at first ex
pected to arrive Friday.

felt for the craft. The Janie
has been silent since July 9,

broke down.

Patroniall, said Friday night
that he talked to the Janie
four days ago. He said the
sloop's skipper, Don Schafer,
reported that everything was
"going okay."
Schafer said he was having
radio trouble and was getting
a shock everytime he tried, to
transmit. Forrest estimated
that, the Janie would not ar
rive here before early Sunday.
The Coast Guard said a pre
cautionary search of an area
180 miles at sea would be
made in an attempt to locate
the missing yacht. A routine
flight failed to spot the Janie
Friday night in the area where
most of the yachts were sail
ing at that point.
