' Lucas appeared completely recovered from a foot injury that had hampered him ear lier as he overwhelmed the tiny Japanese with his point-a-minute shooting. The lanky All - American from Middletown, Ohio, scor ed six field goals in the first four minutes of the game. He had contributed 10 field goals to the U. S. total of 50 points when he was replaced by Dar rail Imhoff, another AU-Amer-ican from the University of California, with five minutes left in the half. Lucas returned to action with the start of the second half, when the Yanks led 65 36, and continued his eye popping scoring. He totaled 15 field goals before being yanked for the second and final time with 10 minutes left to play. Robertson Scores 17 Three-lime All - American Oscar Robertson, who scored 18 points in the Yanks' open ing victory over Italy Friday, added 17 against the Japa nese. Adrian Smith, formerly of the University of Kentucky, scored 16 while All-American Jerry West of West Virginia and Terry Dischinger of Pur due university had 14 each. The game at the small Pal lazzetto Dello sport was wit nessed by 4,000 fans, who cheered hard for the small but game Japanese. Center Takashi Itoyama, who stands about six-feet-two, was the tallest Japanese player. Other members of the Jap anese team looked like midg ets alongside the towering Yanks but they thrilled the crowd with their looping long shots. "Those little (Japanese) fel lows are remarkable shooters from long range," U. S. coach Pete Newell of the University of California declared. "It's a good thing 'we were big enough to stop them from taking loo many shots." Newell said he was espe cially happy over the second half performance of his play ers. The Yanks rolled up (10 points during the final 20 minutes. Previously they had shown a tendency to 1 o a 1 when they were in front. 'Well-Knit Team' "It was a good experience for us," Newell added. "I think we are becoming a well knit team." Allen Kelley, former Kan sas star, was the only member of the 12-man U. S. squad who did not play. He has an in jured leg. In Saturday's earlier games, Mexico scored a 68-64 over time victory over Puerto Rico, Bulgaria turned back Czecho slovakia, 75-69, Yugoslavia napped France, 62-61, and the Philippines downed Spain, 84- 82. Friday, Robertson, from Cincinnati, scored 18 points and Smith, an Army private from the University of Ken tucky, scored 17 points as the U. S. team romped over Italy, 88-54. The U. S. built a 42-17 halftime lead and never was threatened. Russia, however, scored an equally impressive victory by beating Mexico, 66-49, without using 7-foot, 2-inch Jan Kru minisch. A Soviet official ex plained the strategy with the comment, "We figured we could win without Krumi-nisch."

Thank you! -MEDFORD ROTARY CLUB MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Worst Heat in Decade Plagues Rome Athletes Rome - (UPD - Rome's worst heat wave in 10 years baked and parboiled Olympic ath letes Saturday, short-circuited fencers' electric jackets, and had women in the Olympic Village stripped down to bi kinis. A blistering sun made life miserable for competitors and spectators alike in the glaring white marble stadia and even up at Lake Albano in t h e usually cool mountains south of Rome. The thermometer soared to an official 108 degrees in the Olympic Village where some girls defied regulations and got out their handkerchief sized bathing suits. Official figures showed that the top temperature for the last 10 years for Aug. 27 in Rome never exceded 96 de grees and the average was 83 degrees. Using Salt Pills Most team managers were urging salt pills on their ath letes to offset the loss of sa line moistu'e through exces sive perspiration. The heat literally had the U. S. fencing team Jumping Thev perspired so much that their electric jackets were short-circuiting shocking the fencers and confusing the automatic electric scoring sys tem. Emergency rubber under shirts were ordered to prevent ' further short circuits. SDectators at the swimming ! stadium used handkerchiefs, straw hats, newspapers, Jap anese fans, and programs in attempts to ward off the fierce heat. And swimmers st--d in the shade of the diving stands when not competing. The weather report for to morrow?

Nine hole winner was Airs, uicn oramunu Rome - IUPD - A suggestion 1 that the Danish cyclist who died of sunstroke and two of his teammates who also col lapsed were using "stimu lants" created an uproar and brought angry denials Satur day at the Olympic village. A high official of the Olym pic organizing committee said that the death of 22-year-old Knud Enemark Jensen after he collapsed during the 100 kilometer cycle race Friday, followed by the collapse of teammates Jorgen Jorgensen and Vagn Bangeborg yester day, "suggested most convinc ingly" the three athletes were using stimulants. Danish cycling team leader Preben Jensen categorically denied the use of stimulants, and Harald Jespersen, chief of the Danish Olympic team, said the reports of "doping were "wrong - as wrong as they can be." SJPdDHBTTS Danes Deny Dead Cyclist Used 'Stimulants' in Race Linda Hess Wins Firsts At Portland Linda Hess, 16, Medford, captured two firsts and one second at the Oregon State Junior Olympics swim meet in Portland Friday. Linda, whose brother Bruce i broke two state records ai the meet on Thursday, placed first in the 50 meter freestyle and 100 meter backstroke and just missed a first place in the 200 meter individual med ley. All events were for girls ages 15 and 16. The only other Medford swim team member to place in Friday's events was Linda's younger sister, Rhonda, 12, who took third in the 50 meter butterfly in her age group. Linda's time in the 50 meter freestyle was :32.5, and in the 100 meter backstroke it was 1:26.5. Ken Lyons, Medford city swim coach, said Linda nar rowly missed taking first in the individual medley. She led all the way until the next to the last lap, he said, and was then passed by Lori Maxwell of the Multnomah Athletic club during the breastroke portion of the event. Lyons said Linda al most made up the difference on the last lap. but was just barely nosed out by Lori. Lori's time was 3:08.7 and Linda finished in 3:10.9. Lyons took 15 members of the Medford municipal swim ming team to compete in the two-day event. It was held at the Jantzcn Beach swimming pool, just north of Portland. "Newspapers have earlier accused our bikers of dop ing," said Jespersen . "But they are wrong. Rumors a! ways come after such an ac cident." The high Olympic official, who declined use of his name said that, "everybody on the committee and many among the foreign delegations are convinced that the lethal ef fect of the sun on the Danish Cycle racer yesterday was due to stimulates." "A man on a team can sure ly suffer a sunstroke when racing under a blazing sun like yesterday, said the offi cial, "but not two and three men on the same team." The official also said that the original signed copy of the medical bulletin stating that Knud Jensen died of sun stroke has mysteriously dis appeared" from the medical office. Dr. Rene Mathieu, qhief French Olympic doctor, said the stricken Danes "certainly had all the symptoms of peo ple who had taken something before the race." He added, however, "I have no evidence that the Danes took stimu lates." Rome-(UPD-Australia's John Devitt won the Olympic 100 meter free style champion ship last night with a victory over 20-year-old Lance Larson of El Monte, Calif., in a fin ish so close American officials immediately protested the ruling of the placing judges. Both swimmers were clock ed in identical times of 55.2 seconds, shattering the old Olympic record. Larson, him selm, thought he had won. He happily embraced his team mate, Bruce Hunter of Cam bridge, Mass., who finished fourth and danced a victory hop. But after a five minute huddle, placing judges ruled Devitt had won and announc ed their identical clockings which broke the old record of 55.4 set in 1956 by another Aussie, Jon Hendricks. The International jury for swimming events meets today to decide on the American protest lodged by R. Max Rit- ter of Jenkintown, Fa., a u .3 Olympic official. Surt He'd Won Larson was sure he d won the 100 meters from Devitt and for some time was just as confused as official judges and timers who couldn't agree on the actual order of finish. I feel I lost because too many judges saw the other man touch first," Larson said. The watches and the auto matic touching machines had me as the winner. But the only thing that counts is what the judges see." A re-check of the cards showed that of three first place judges, two had picked Devitt as the winner and one had given it to Larson, Of three second place judges two picked Devitt for second and one had Larson. Thus the judges for first and second place disagreed with each other. Further, one timer clocked Larson in 55 seconds flat. It was the second time Unit ed States gold medal hopes were blasted. Performing almost flawless ly in 108 degree heat, Ger many's 17 - year-old diving marvel, Ingrid Kramer, broke a 40-year American monopoly the women s three-meter springboard event by upset ting favored Paula Jean Pope of Santa Ana, Calif., who fin ished second. Mary Willard of Mesa, Ariz., was fourth.

Australia's Dawn Fraser the Olympic record for the women's 100 meter free style in 1:01.1.4 as she led eight qualifiers including Chris von Saltza of Saratoga, Calif., and Carolyn Wood of Port land, Ore. into Monday's fin als. The Aussie Miss Clipped five-tenths of a second off the record set yesterday by Miss von Saltza. The United States water polo team crushed France, 10-4. Sergio Bianchetto and Giuseppe Bechetto gave Italy its third cycling gold medal of the games by winning the tandem final against Ger many. Russia automatically picked up the bronze medal for third place because one of two Dutch opponents had been injured earlier and was unable to ride. Brazil uspet Russia's bas ketball team, 58-54.
