Today's Sport Parade Bob Richards Blasts U.S. Indifference By JACK CUDDY NEW YORK (UPI) The Rev. Bob Richards, just back from Russia, today blasted American Indifference toward track and field athletics. Richards, two - time Olympic pole vaulting champion, stressed, however, that his criticisms were not caused by Russia's victory over the United states, 172-170, at Moscow this week. r i n oports dii Irks Kefauver WASHINGTON (UPI) - Time was running out on the House approved sports bill today. Chairman Estes Kefauver (D- Tenn.) of the Senate anti-monop oly subcommittee scheduled i meeting to decide what action to take on it in the wake of hearings which ended Thursday. There was a chance the subcom mittee would decide to blow the whistle on the drive to give ami trust Immunity to team sports. Kefauver said bluntly, "I am not satisfied with the House-passed bill." The dissatisfaction of other members of the subcommittee is well known. Sen. Joseph C. O'.Ma honey (D-Wyo.) has called it a "blank check ... an owner's bill." and Sen. John A. Carroll ID Colo.) has criticized some of its features. But the major threat to the bill, and its exemption for many phases of team sports from the anti-trust laws, was the clock the congressional adjournment pitch which was beginning to run to fever. Kefauver said the subcommit tee if it decides to go ahead with the bill could perhaps se cure passage of a version by mid August. Any earlier congressional adjournment would catch the sports bill, he said. PCL Linescores Vancouver 000 ooo 001 1 8 o Spokane 102 012 00x-fi 11 (1 Held. Ceccarclli (6), Mundin (81 and White.

Russia dual meet," he said, "in spite of their combining the men's and women's scoring and injecting a women s half mile run, and other things." Furthermore, he f 1 a t e I y pre dicted an American triumph in the second U. S. - Russia games, slated for Philadelphia, July 10 and 11, 1950. U. S. AT ADVANTAGE Richards, who went to Moscow as an observer, and not as a competitor, said his irritation was caused largely by America's "naive failure" to appreciate the propaganda value of triumphs in this type of international competition. If our communities supported track and field athletics pro perly," he declared, "it shouldn't be just a question of whether we could beat Russia, but by how great a margin. We ve had the greater ex perience. We have great potential talent. And we are positive that our system of individual motiva tion in athletics as in other fields is superior to that of regimentation. DEPEND ON COLLEGES Richards, of La Verne, Calif., a minister in the Church of the Brethern, urged that American communities do the following: Keep the school cvmnasiums and fields open during the sum mer vacation periods for young sters, boys and girls, to practice there. Convince the so - called "athletic clubs" in our various cities that they should resume the support of track and field ath letes, instead of continuing to degenerate into mere "poker clubs or places for drunks to be boiled out and rubbed down." Stimulate greater interest in women's track and field by con vincing the girls that athletic prowess can enhance their beauty rnthAr than rliminich it We'll always produce out- fill II standing athletes but not enough! of them," Richards said. "We k STRAIGHT depend about 80 per cent on our colleges for producing interna tional competitors. And less than 10 per cent of college students participate in track and field."

"I just can't get excited about running anymore," he said. "When that happens I figure it is time to quit. I would like another try at the 800 meter record, though." Courtney will run the 800 Satur day against two Poles and an American, all of whom have bro ken 1:50 for the distance. The Olympic 800-meter champion's best time is 1:45.8, one-tenth of a second slower than the record held by Roger Moens of Belgium. The speedy American set the world half-mile record of 1:46.8 last year. The half-mile is five yards, four Inches longer than 800 meters. "It would have gone for a rec ord in Moscow if the track had not been so heavy," he added. "If the track feels good here Satur day, I'll try. If not, I'll wait until the meet in Budapest and Athens. I hear that the track in Hungary is very fast." Courtney had hoped to return to his Livingston, N. J. home aft er the meet against Russia.. "There is a job waiting for me soon as I get back but I'm afraid I can't take it now," he said. "My final year at Harvard Business School begins in September and I am looking forward to some on-the-job experience before returning."' Courtney, naturally, is favored in the 800 as are the American men in the meet. The men figure to outscore the Poles by about 25 points even though Parry O'Brien, world champion shot putter, is not up to par physically. The American women, who showed great strength against the Russians at Moscow last Sunday and Monday, rate a strong chance to turn back the Polish women but their dual meet should be close.
