Much has been wriltei about Yost using a brassie or No. 2 wood in place of his driver. Ir. the past years Dick has been a little erratic off the tec with his driver, so uses his No. 2 wood entirely. However, he can also hit his No. 3 wood off the tee as far Ex-Mat Star Plans Change To Ring Wars NEW YOI1K 1 "This boy learns terrifically fast. He can go places."

Dan has been boxing only about seven months and won all 17 of his amateur bonis, 12 by knock outs. Before he donned the mills, he earned fame at Oklahoma as the college and national AAU wrestling champion. He was a member of the 1952 and 1956 Olympic mat teams.

The Withers had 12 Preakness eligibles and the outcome left it doubtful if any would continue on to Baltimore. The race was won by John S. Kroeses' Sir Robby, a 17-1 long shot no better than third in six previous major races this year. George Lewis' Martin's Rullah, fifth in the Derby, showed no im provement in the lesser Withers (ield and so put a damper on his Preakness prospects. Gone Fishin' won the Prep by a length and three-quarters over Christiana Stable's Staysail. It was only the second start of the year for Staysail so he may be given a chance at the Preakness. Li'l Fella's third in the Prep was enough to convince his Jac lyn Stable that he didn't belong in the Preakness. The only othe!r Prep starter was Mickey Boy, al ready ineligible for the Preak ness. Gone Fishin' secured his place together with Calumet's Tim Tarn. Sunny Blue Farm's Lincoln Road, Crabgrass Farm's Nour eddin, and Maine Chance Farm's Jewel's Reward who led the Der by Parade. Also undaunted by the outcome of the Derby were Mrs. A.' Cannuli's sixth place Chance It Tony and Ross & Klipstein's 12th place Silky' Sullivan. Among the most likely new challengers of the Derby crop are E. G. Potter Jr.'s Plion and Mrs. Ada L. Rice's Talent Show.
