Snapp. a full - fledged school teacher now. hasn't foimhtfor over a year but he nonetheless lavs claim to the Northwest middle weight title. On this count. Northwest boxing fathers don't agree with The Snapper. When Snapo left Southern Ore con College to finish his schooling at the University of Southern Cal ifornia, a tournament was held and Earl Turner won the title. He lost it for three weeks to Indian Dick Wolfe but won it back with a three-round knockout. But Snapp is doing nothing in the wav of proving he's still the best middleweight in the North west. H- wants no nart of either Wolfe or Turner at least not rifrht now. The result has been a headache for Matchmaker Mack Lillard who is busy searching for someone to face Snapp in the headline bout at the Armory next Friday night. An announcement from Lillard is expected by Monday.

Mrs. Patricia McCornitck of Long Beach, Calit., winner of the spring board diving title two days ago: Paula Jean Myers, a 17-ycar-old Irom Covina. Calif., and Mrs. Juno Stover Irwin of Los Angeles, placed 1-3-3 alter four quniilymg dives in the women's platform diving cumpciiiou. Evc'ny Kawamoto of Honolulu won her semi-final heat in the women's 4oo meier freestyle swim to lend two of the three Americans into tlte finals. fcxeep, .or these two women's events, things were rather quiet as the OiyiVipx : iage was sc- tor Saturday's big windup program. And, for once, there weren't any broken recoras. Miss Kawamoto, who broke the Olynip.c women's 40J me:er swim record in her trial heat Thursday, took the semi-final in the ordinary linn of 5:31.3, beating Hungary's Eva Novak. Valeria Gyenge of Hungary took the other scmi-iinal in 5:16.9, three tenths of a second slower than Miss Kawamoto's new record time Thursoay b'a neany a lull second faster than the 1948 Olympic record set by Ann Curtis. Carolyn Green of Fort Lauder dale. Fla.; placed second behind Miss Gyenge in 5:18.3 to qualify lor the Una!. The eight lastest times nnlil'cd. Deliana Meulenkamp of Mill Val ley, Calif., wnu was made a lj.fi. citizen by a special act of Congress just in time to compete in the Olympic?, was left on the starling block when 'he gun went off. She came in sixth. in the piauorm diving competi tion. Mrs. McCormick scored 51.25 points for the four dives, putting her far ahead of Miss Myers, with 44.22 and Mrs. Irwin with 43 60. Two Russian girls were among the first eight. The early doings had no effect on the unofficial but torrid duel be tween Russia and the United States for the top place in over-all point scoring a matter not recognized by Olympic officials. R was Russia by 523 U to 465 Friday morning with no events that count for medals and points scheduled until aiternoon. Russia's water polo team beat Spain, 4-3, in a losers-half final round game. The U.S. has qualified for the four-team final bracket. Bulgaria earned the hollow honor of finishing seventh in the basket ball competition by beating France 58-44. Vincent Farrell. the referee who was injured in the riot which lol lowed the France-liiuguay game, was one of the officials. Russia aualtfied six men for the boxing semi-finals and the United States kept five men in the run ning. Since there won't be any fights for third place the points will be split 10 for the winner of the final, five for the loser of the final and Z'i for each of the beaten semi finalists. On tnis basis Russia already has a minimum of 21 points and the VS. has 17 'i. Gong on the form shown so far. the United States has a good chance of crowning champions in the tnree heavies. divisions M:ddleweieht Floyd Patterson of Brooklyn. Light Heavyweight Norvel Lee of Wash ington and Heavyweight Eddie Sanders of Los Angeles. The United States and Russia advanced to the basketball finals Thursday, and the U.S. should whip the Russians in then; second meet ing.
