A!(i SPORTS Ann Welts Cops Women's U.S. Golf Crown Williamstown, Mass. fUPD Anne Quast Welts fought off a valiant last-ditch rally by spunky Peg Conley of Spo kane, Wash., Saturday to win the U. S. Golf association women's amateur champion ship for the third time. The 25-year-old high school teacher from Mount Vernon, Wash., calmly sank a 15-foot putt on the 35th hole to win, 2 and 1, in the 63th renewal of this golf classic at the Taconic Golf club. Mrs. Welts' victory dashed 16-year-old Miss Conley 's hopes of becoming the young est person ever to win the event since it started in 1895 Mrs. Welts, who captured the women's amateur in 1958 and 1961, came back from a two-hole deficit early in the second round. She forged ahead on the 27th hole, went 3 up at the 30th, lost the 32nd but held on to win. Her victory made Mrs. Welts the seventh player ever to win the women's amateur three times. Miss Conley was 1 up fol lowing the first 18 holes on the par 72 course. She quickly grabbed the first hole of the second round to go 2 up but fired bogeys on the second and eighth holes to drop back even with Mrs. Welts. Mrs. Welts bogeyed the short ninth but won it, too, when Miss Conley double- bogeyed. After Mrs. Welts took the 11th with a birdie and the 12th with a bogey, all she had to do was hang on for the victory. Miss Conley closed the gap to two holes by win ning the 14th with a birdie two but both players parred the 15th and 16th.

WEBB United Press International Atlanta -(UPD - The board which oversees the Univer sity of Georgia, a school hit by sharp criticism in the Wal lace Butts controversy, is ex pected to look into the athlet ic policies of all state colleges on Sept. 11, the board chair man said Saturday. However, James A. Dunlap, chairman of the Georgia uni versity system board of re gents, said he has had no re quest "formal or informal STANDINGS I'nltrd Press International A ftl r.

Gonzales Decisions Rivero New York - (UPD - Middle weight contender Jose Gon zales of Puerto Rico weather ed a terrific battering in the fourth and fifth rounds and came on to score his fifth straight victory lust night on a unanimous 10-round de cision over slugger Juan (Rocky) Rixero at Mndison Square Garden. The somewhat taller Gon zalcb, weighing 159' 4 pounds to the somewhat pudgy Riv- ero's 161, beat the "Little Bull of the Pampas" from Argen tina with superior 1 o n g- range fighting. There were no knockdowns in the nationally - televised bout but the crowd of 2.000 was thrilled by the furious punching in most of the rounds. Gonzalez, ranked 10th among contenders by the World Boxing association and eighth by the Ring Magazine, was favored at 1 1-5. But In the fourth and fifth session, it seemed that he might be knocked out. Rivero, unranked among contenders suffered the eighth defeat In his career of 47 bouts - despite the fact that former middleweight Rocky Grazlano, his new mentor, was shouting advice from the corner In every round. w.

"I have thought this for a long time." Two alumni groups (one composed of former athletes at the university at Athens), have called for a shakeup at Georgia following the $3,060,- 000 federal court award last Tuesday to Butts, former coach and athletic director, in his libel suit against the Saturday Evening Post. Testimony in the bitter lit igation, arising over a report by the Post that Butts rigged last years Alabama- Georgia game, split ranks among Geor gia's coaching staff and for mer coaches. One assistant coach, John Gregory, claimed he was fired after he testified in behalf of Butts. Dunlap declined to elabo rate on what sort of Investi gation into policies the 15- man board would make. Neither would he comment on a demand by Cliff C. Kim- sey Jr., a banker from Cor nelia, Ga., and head of the Georgia Lettermen's associa tion, that six members of the school's athletic board resign because of what he called ani mosity they held toward Butts. "I know Kinisey and he is a good friend," Dunlap said. "I think that's all I want to say." Kimsey said the handling of the Butts affair, which he said was "thoroughly and com pletely repudiated by a fed eral court jury" had caused "untold damage to the pres tige of the University of Geor gia and to the state of Geor gia." Several of the six members whose resignations he called for testified against Butts in his court suit. United Press International Southpaw Whitey Ford, closing in on the second 20 victory season of his career just as the New York Yank ees are closing in on the pen nant, scattered six singles Saturday to give the Yankees a 3-0 triumph over the Chi cago White Sox. It was the 18th victory for Ford, a total he has topped only twice before. He did not walk a single batter and he struck out eight, leaving him only 10 strikeouts short of the Yankee team record of 1,530 held by Red Ruffing. The Yankees gave Ford two runs in the fifth inning in his duel with Ray Herbert, and Johnny Blanchard closed tne scoring by hammering a two out homer in the eighth in ning. It was the 13th homer of the year for Blanchard and the 10th he has hit since July 22. After being held scoreless for four innings by Herbert, the Yankees scored in the fifth when Phil Linz singled to left, took second as Ford grounded out, and came home on Tony Kubek's double. Ku bek then scored on Bobby Richardson's single. In two other American league afternoon games, the Detroit Tigers edged the Kan sas City Athletics, 4-3, in 13 innings and the Cleveland In dians beat the Boston Red Sox, 6-2. Al Kaline's 13th-innlng sin gle off Moe Drabowsky gave u.e Tigers their win over Kan sas City. Kaline hit a two run homer in the first inning. His game winning hit scored Bill Bruton, who had beaten out a bunt single and moved to second on Dick McAuliffe's walk. Gus Triandos also homered for Detroit and Norm Siebern for Kansas City. Don Mossi, who pitched three - hit shut out relief for 10 innings, was the winner. Dick Donovan of the Indi ans gave up a pair of homers to Ed Bressoud of the Red Sox in pitching a five-hit victory. The Indians scored all their runs in the seventh, Jerry Kindall's two - run homer starting the rally. In a pair of night games, the Minnesota Twins edged the Baltimore Orioles, 1-0, and the Los Angeles clubbed the Washington Senators, 10-2. Rookie slugger Jimmy Hall clouted an eighth inning home run off his Baltimore name- Bonneville Drivers Shatter Six Speed Records at Event Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah - (UP1) - The 15th annual Bon neville National speed trials ended here Saturday after noon with six new records set as grease monkeys, drivers, car owners and spectators packed up their gear and re turned home. The auto and motorcycle jockeys called it quits for an other year after a hard and hot day on the salt. A total of 32 new records in the 74 classes available were set dur ing the trials. A record number of 169 cars were participating for the past week in the trials. A total of 1,415 runs were made by the cars and the 18 motorcy cles attempting new records. In the fastest time clocked Saturday, Nolan White of San Diego, Calif., hot-rodded his Class C sports racer to a speed of 210.47 miles per hours -knocking the old record of 188.162 off the books. The nationals ended with award ceremonies under a blazing sun Saturday after noon. An estimated 2,000 driv ers, mechanics and track oili cials attended the ceremonies. During the week-long meet, Butch Summers of Ontario, Calif., rocketed his Class C streamliner to a speed of 316.59 miles per hour for a new record in that division and to the fastest time clocked by any car during this year's running. The fastest stock-car time set by a driver was achieved by "Grandpappy" Norman Thatcher, a 66-ycar-old racing bug from Van Nuys, Calif. Thatcher, a grandfather be lieved to be the oldest pro fessional racing car driver in the United States, managed to hit the top, two-way speed of 169.62. The fastest time during the running in the supercharged division was clocked by the Pisano Brothers supercharged B racer. Jim Short of Angling to, Tex., boosted his racer to a speed of 197.63 miles per hour, bettering the old record by about 7 mph. Twelve marks fell during Friday's runs. The best time was turned in by Ernie Im merso of Phoenix, Ariz. He took his Class A streamliner across the salt at a speed of $229.25 mph. However, the four-engined vehicle shook so badly crossing the salt that Immerso drove at times with his knees because his hands were so blistered. There were no serious in juries during the week of time trials, even though one driver flipped and rolled while traveling 225 mph. Records set Saturday were: Nolan White, San Diego, Calif., C sports racer, 210.74 mph, old record 188.162 mph. Noel Black, Sacramento, Calif., a gas roadster, 191.561, old record 188.580.
