Rain Hampers Workouts Os Olympic Team By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor TOKYO (UPD-A steady rain hampered pre-Olympie workouts for the cream of the ■world’s best amateur athletes today but it didn’t dampen the hopes of the United States in the 1964 games opening Saturday. “We are ready with the best team we ever have had at an Olympiad,” said Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson, president of the U.S. Olympic Committee. “I don’t hesitate to predict that the Stars and Stripes will dominate these games.” He doesn’t go along with the general feeling that Russia will win more gold medals than any of the other 96 nations competing in the world's greatest athletic carnival. “We aren’t conceding a thing,” Wilson said. “I’m sure we are going to win more gold medals here than we did in Rome in 1960.” In that last Olympiad the U.S. won 34 gold medals while Russia captured 43. “W>’U fin at least 37 here and may get as many as 40,” Wilson predicted. He expects Uncle Sam to dominate men’s track and field, both men’s and women’s swimming, and basketball, just as the U.S. has in past Olympic games. “And we are going to win gold medals in boxing, (wrestling, rowing, shooting and yachting,” Wilson added. Here is how he classes the U.S. hopes for those first place medals: Thirteen in mens track and field." Nine in mens swimming. Five in womens swimming. Three in womens track and field. Two in boxing. One each in basketball, rowing, shooting, yachting and wrestling. • “That’s a minimum of 37 and we’ll better that,” Wilson went on. “Don’t go for that stuff that the Russians are going. to win more, than we are. “I realize 3 Russia has i greatly improved team here but I fee} our team is improved more,”, Wilson said. “We’re going to do all right believe me.” Other than the usual assortment of minor ailments, Wilson pronounced all the U.S. athletes in top condition.

Homer Wasn't Shannon's Longest; sth Yank Loss

Ready To Come Back: 'Schultz By LEONARD ADAMS United Press International ST. LOUIS (UPI) — Barney Schultz says he’s ready to come back today after Wednesday’s game-saving three inning stint in relief of Ray Sadecki. “I’m ready to go tomorrow,” Schultz said after Wednesday’s 9-5 Cardinal victory. But I don’t think I’ll have to. We’ll have more stuff.” The pitcher in whom Schultz has so much confidence is right hander Bob Gibson who will oppose Yankee Mel Stottlemyre. Gibson said he’s ready and anxious to go. “You can’t be worried about the (the Yankees). Os course, they’re good but so are some of the teams in the National League.” Needed Rest Gibson probably would have started Wednesday but he came in to delieve Curt Simmons in Sunday’s pennant clincher over the New York Mets and needed an extra day of rest. Catcher Tim McCarver called Wednesday’s victory “a team effort” but the Cardinals got the lift they needed when Mike Shannon hit a 400 foot home run off the top of the left field scorebogrd. Shannon, a $50,000 bonus player in 1958, tied the score with his blast, sending Ken Boyer home ahead of him. The Cards broke loose for three more runs in the inning routing starter and loser Whitey Ford. Shannon said, “I hit one longer at Pittsburgh and one at Dublin, Ga., but this was a bigger thrill.” Shannon, a St. Louis product, had been with the club last season but saw little action. Wanted To Play “I was disappointed when they sent me down this season but it was good because I wanted to play. I made up my mind

'Tough Park To Play In: 'Yogi By ED SAINSBURY UPI Sports Writer ST. LOUIS (UPD—The sun doesn’t fall down when the New York Yankees lose, and they wish it would. Overcast skies and a calm day would be perfect for the American League pennant winners when they face the St. Louis Cardinals in the second game of the World Series today. The Cardinal bats and some clutch pitching by knuckle-bail-er Barney Schultz extended the Yankees’ World Series losing streak to five games Wednesday, but Manager Yogi Bertra and his team blamed some,, of the 9-5 debacle on the strange park, the sun and thq wind. Left fielder Tom Tresh, for instance, lost Curt Flood’s fly ball in the sun in the sixth inning and it* bounced off the wall for a triple, driving in the sixth Cardinal run. ; Blew Ball Away > n The wind, bouncing off the scoreboard, blew Lou Brock’s eighth inning double away from Tresh, into the left field corner, and it drove in two runs. Tresh, right .fielder Mickey Mantle and center fielder Roger Maris all had to be geared for changes at the last split second on both flies and ground balls in the outfield. “This is a tough park to play in,” Berra said. “We knew from practice that the balls were going to take some crazy bounces out there, on the infield and outfield, but we couldn’t handle them even when we knew they were coming.” “This is the worst outfield I’ve played on this year,” Tresh said. “If I could have seen Flood’s triple, I would have caught it. I lost the ball • in the sun, and I wasn’t in front of the ball when it came, out. “The wind isn’t so bad oh the balls up in it,” he added, “but it bounces off the scoreboard in left field* and affects the 1o w liners. That’s why Brock’s ball got away from me. “It was a tough day to pitch,” 1 said Ford, who took his third straight World Series loss and set a new record for most World Series defeats with eight. “I couldn’t make a mistake, and I had to keep the ball low.” I felt I was right.” Knicks Beat 76ers HARTFORD, Conn. (UPD— The New York Knickerbockers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 94-93, in a National Basketball Association exhibition ’ game Wednesday night.

EHiott 3rd In Scoring; Four NEIC Games This Week

Four Northeastern Indiana Conference games are on tap this week, three on Friday night and the other on Saturday evening. New Haven goes for its fourth win without a loss when it entertains winless Kendallville Friday evening, while on the same night, Angola visits Bluffton and Garrett meets Concordia at Fort Wayne. In two non-conference games Friday, Auburn will entertain Berne’s Bears, and Columbia City will travel to Huntington. Saturday night finds Elmhurst hosting the second-place Yellow Jackets of Decatur at South Side stadium in Fort Wayne. Two Shy New Haven needs only a win over Kendallville and a victory over Elmhurst on October 30 to clinch a second straight NEIC football crown. Kendallville, winless in four conference starts and in five games altogether, figures to give the Bulldogs little trouble. New Haven has the second best offensive record in the league, and the Kendallville has the worst defensive mark. Angola will be seeking to score its first points of the season at Bluffton. The Hornets have failed to score while losing four games and tying one, all in the NEIC. Bluffton will be out to even it’s league mark at 3-3. Garrett, with three wins in five starts, may be slight favorite over Concordia which owns a 1-1-2 league slate and a 1-2-2 overall record. Berne In Toughie Berne will run into the toughest team on its schedule at Auburn. The Red Devils have scored 109 points and given up just 27 in five starts. Columbia City, improving of late, may have a chance at knocking off a “down” Huntington eleven. Here is the way conference teams fared last week: Decatur whipped Bluffton by a 34-6 score; New Haven bested Concordia, 3413; Columbia City edged Kendallville, 12-6; Garrett blanked Angola, 13-0; Elmhurst was beaten by Fort Wayne Luers, 20-6; and Auburn was nipped by Concord, 20-14.
