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.

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.

"We should have won that first
U. S. 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."

mer Fordham ace said as he
joined with his American team
mates in the first of the two-day
meet against Poland's best men
and women runners and jumpers.
"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.

The increase in postal rates today again points up a comparative yardstick to
inexpensive, effective newspaper advertising. (Post cards became 3c)
To send a "penny" post card to each cf the 14,000 families who are paid sub
scribers of the Herald and News would cost $420.00 in postage alone.
A Herald and News ad of slightly larger size, 3 columns by ZVz inches, would
cost only $1 1.50. In fact the price drops to $9.87 for repeat insertions.
A full 93 per cent of our newspapers are delivered by carriers, the same day,
to the subscriber's door or box.
Prudent advertisers put the major part of their advertising investment in effective,
inexpensive newspaper advertising.
