The dekgstes also will decide be tween three candidates for the AAU presidency. The long list of track and field pt rformances submitted for recogni tion embrsced men's American out door and indoor marks; senior men's Indoor and outdoor records; Junior men's outdoor and practically the same category In the women's division. One record, the too meter relay time of 1:24 set last May 20 by the University of Southern California team, waa recommended for accept ance yesterday by the track and field committee. Such a recommen dation is tantamount to acceptance. with formal approval to come from the national records board of the AAU. Action on the application for a new record of M2 seconds for both I the 200-meter and 220-yard dashes In behalf of Mel Patton of U8C. wss held up yesterdsy to permit further check on the wind velocity which prevailed at the time It was made laat aprlng. Application for a 200 meter record of 20J seconds by Lloyd La Beach of Panama was dis allowed because La Beach was timed in 303 seconds for 220 yards In the seme race. The AAU does not rec ognize alternate times for Inter mediate distances in events which are less than one-eighth of a mile. Sharp arguments took place last night and today In various caucuses as the 246 delegates tried to agree upon a candidate to succeed Mayor J pines A. Rhodes of Columbus, Ohio, retiring prexy. The term Is for two years. Reports first had Al Whet tie of Baltimore leading in the verbal bat tles for delegation votes. Judge Harry McDevltt ot Philadelphia also nod strong support. John A.

Dec. 10 CP) Rapid Robert Villemain officially has evened his score with Jake LaMot ta. Now the scrappy little Prench nan wants the middleweight chanr pion to put his title on the line. He msy get his wish. Robert, a 5-foot, tti-lnch bundle of perpetual motion, poured It on the slowed-up Bronx Bull last night to win a unanimous 10-round deci sion in Madison Square Garden.

FIGHTS LAST NIGHT New York Robert Villemain. 162', Parts. France, outpointed Jake LaMotta, 1U, New York, 10. (Non-title) Johnson City Billy Brown, III. Hartford. Conn., outpointed Pete Zaduk. ISO. Toronto. 10. was a big win for Villemain, a 3 to 1 underdog In the betting. That squared accounts for the 26-year-old Parisian who licked Jake In the garden last March but lost the decision. The verdict, one of the rankest In years, resulted In the suspension of the two officials who voted for LaMotta. "I want LaMotta to fight me for the championship now," said the smiling Viliemain after his victory. "I won the last time, too, but this time I get the decision. I am very happy to win. I will bring back the championship for my country and Marcel Cerdan." If Eddie Eagan, chairman of the New York state athletic commis sion, hss his way, Villemain will get the next shot at LaMotta. Before the fight, Eagan, a fluent speaker of Prench, told the gladi ators: "This Isn't a championship fight. Whether there will be a return bout for the title depends' on the out come of this fight." And there's no doubt that Eagan feels that a Frenchman should get the first chance because of Cerdan. It was from Cerdan that LaMotta won the crown In Detroit last June. Cerdan was to have met the stocky New Yorker for the title December I but went to a tragic death in a plane crash while en route to this country in October. His June fight was the last one LaMotta had before yesterday. Jake showed the lack ot work. He was rusty with his swings, glow afoot and tired quickly.
