Even when Cus of fered him a piece of my con tract, Floyd said he was not interested. I thought Floyd was my friend, but no more." Government Seeks Truce in NCAA's Dispute With AAU By JOHN GRIFFIN New York - (UPD - The U.S. government has proposed a "truce" in the sports war be tween the National AAU and the NCAA that would allow the best American athletes to compete in the 1964 Olympic games in Tokyo, it was learn ed today. One source insisted that the truce, which would last until Nov. 1, 1964, has been agreed upon after a high-level meet ing in Washington within the past month. However, Donald Hull, ex ecutive director of the AAU (Amateur Athletic union), while admitting that the truce had been "proposed," said agreement had not been reached but indicated it still is under consideration.

At this time, the AAU is recognized by the various international federa tions which rule the various sports as the growing body of amateur athletics in the united states. The AAU is the only body now empower ed to certify U.S. athletes for international c o m p e t ition, such as the Olympic games. However, the NCAA, lash ing out at the AAU's conduct of sports, has recently moved to set up national federations in track, basketball, baseball and gymnastics. The AAU has threatened to outlaw athletes who compete in non-AAU sanctioned meets; the NCAA has similarly threatened to outlaw athletes who compete in events not sanctioned by the federations. Caught In the middle of the dispute, U.S. athletes current ly face being outlawed by one group or the other - with pos sible loss of their amateur certification to compete in the '64 Olympic games.

Phoenix Encounters Riddle For District 6 A-2 Mantle Phoenix - District playoff l outlook for the Phoenix High school Pirates was brighter yesterday with the return to the practice field of quarter- I , ...... U..lf OaCK null ..nudum anu iinn- back Jim Consbruck. The Pirates, carrying the j Rogue league colors, and Rid dle, the Umpqua Valley league standard bearer, contend Fri day night at Riddle for the District 6 A-l title, held tor three seasons by the Buc caneers. Williams, who pulled knee ligaments in last week's fray with Sacred Heart, likely will see some action. Consbruck has a charley-horse. Whether he'll play is still doubtful, Coach Jack Woodward said. Williams probably will start but probably will not be at full strength. His alternates may be Ken Hawkins and Rick Dorman. Hawkins op erates better with the T for mation and Dorman with the single wing. If Consbruck can't go. Woodward may run right half veteran Dave Johnson at left half and use Dale Sauer at Ihe right halfback. Sauer is one of the Pirates who have come along in late season.
