Olymp Tryout Finals Televised Sat.,4 to 6 By BILL BROWER For A^P This weekend is a big one for tan athletes. Success for many of them will mean a round trip ticket to Melboure, Australia for the Olympic games in November. The final tryouts for the United States track and field team are set for Los Angeles. Preliminary meets such as the National Collegiate Athlet e Association and the National AAU events have provided tests so that the American delegation will have the best talent possible for the quadrennial

competition.

Some of the old hands will be striving -for places on the U. S. Squad. Olympic veterans like Mai Whitfield and Harrison Dillard, who have twice won ribbons—at London and at ,JjtelsihJd. They are sentimental choices* ^pr no doubt will be their final fling for

RODDY George Roddy, golf coach at Crispus Attucks high school where he instructs in auto mechanics, will leave Indianapolis, July 5, for San Francisco, Calif., where he and three other local golfers will represent Indianapolis in the National Public Links Golf Tournament. Roddy, who exploded into prominence on the local golf hor zon last year when he became the first Indianapolis Negro to play in the Publinx paid trip with his brilliant tourney, earned the expensesplay in the recent eliminations wh'ch decided the Indianapolis representatives. With 57 amatuer golfers going after the four berths at the Sarah Shank Golf Course. Roddy finished in a two-way tie for second when he fired a 68-74, to total 142, two under par for th-e 36-hole event. The National tournament was held at Coffin Golf Course here last year. Roddy was among the last Indianapolis men left in the tournment as he' was eliminated in the third round of match play. He led the three-man Harding Cup team to third place in the run for the coveted bauble. He carded a 74 as his teammates hit for 75 and 77 in the Cup play. Over 200 men from all over the country started in the match play last year. This year, however, the tournament has been cut down to just about the size officials think it should be. The nation’s 150 top golfers will tee off July 9th in the week-long event. Qualifications will pare the field down to 64 and this group will vie one against the other in match play uptil only one is left. The three-man team with the lowest 18-hole qualifying score will win the Harding Cup. The Indianapolis Park Board pays the expenses for the team to the national tourney, covering transportation and allowing the members $10 a dav. RODDY IS THF ONLY member of the 1955 team to repeat this time. The trip will also be a vacation for the Attucks coach. His wife, Vcrdel is flying along with him and the couple plan to spend 10 days between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

INDIANAPOLIS and LOUISVILLE—Whenever better basketball players are built, Indiana will build them. And the mold for better, and better players appears securely housed in Crispus Attucks high school, right here

at 1140 N. West street.

Indiana’s supremacy in prep hoopster production fc’as never more intensely threatened and never as totally supreme as it was Saturday and Monday nights when the Indiana all-stars mopped up Kentucky’s best at Butler Fieldhouse, 92-78, and at Louisville, 102-77. And never in the history of the game has any single player stood so alone in greatness, so high above the great players surrounding him, as Oscar Robertson, Attucks’ own ‘Mr. Everything,” did in these two record-shattering tilts.

Oscar, the 6-5 basketball genius whose outstanding season play attracted offers from practically every major college north of the Mason-Dixon Line, enlarged greatly on the gigantic footsteps laid down in the road of tradition three years ago by another At-

tucks product, Hallie Bryant.

Hallie, who broke every existing Indianapolis individual record, was elefted Mr. Basketball in 1953. He set a new individual scoring record for the All-Star game with 30 points at Louisville and became the first Mr. Basketball named Star of Stars as he garnered the honor at Butler with 21 points and again at Louisville

with the record breaker.

also spiced his offensive performance with clever base running. Once Jie scored from first base on en infield hit, a hard smash behind first by Vig Wertz which handcuffed Roy Sievers, the Sen’s first packer. While Sievers stood flatfooted, Smith dashed for the plate and slid in safely under the throw. Later, Al drove a shot to right that got away from Jim Lemon, Washington outfielder, and the Clevelander legged it all the way

to third base.

Continuing: his homer hit-

CHICAGO (ANP)—Al Smith, Lany Doby, Brooks Lawrence, Roy Campanella and Frank Robinson were all in the weekend limelight of major league baseball. Smith, the Cleveland Indian’s outfielder, on h:s hottest hitting streak of the season, slapped seven straight hits against the Washington Senators. The splurge brought Al’s batting mark up to .279, highest for several weeks.

He had four hits in Saturday’s game, won in the ninth by the Indians, 9 to 8. He drove in four nihs .with his.tenth home run of the season and three singles, tn Sunday afternoon’s abbreviated contest, a 7 to 2 .victory for the Tribe,. Smith maced Washington pitching for three hits, including a double, and drove in one run, his 35th RBI of the campaign. He Indpls. Dodgers hi Twin-Bill At jDouglra Sunday The Naptown Dodgers, rampaging along their independant basdball trail which has yielded them eight victories against only three losses, will be back home at Douglass Park Sunday after-

noon.

They will play the Campbellsville. Ky., Bombers in a big double header, beginning

at 1:30 p. m.

This promises to be a grudge

battle with the Bombers nursing the stings of a double defeat dealt them by the Dodgers at Camp-

bellsville earlier this year. Willie Cornett, the Dodgers’ ace

pitcher with a 4-0 record, will hurl the first game and will be followed by Bud Harris, another reliable thrower whose record is 3-2.

Danville, Ky., to play the Yankees of that town July 4th. On the ipove, the Dodgers will go to Leb-

Ezzard Charles TKOs Albright PHOENIX. Arlz. (ainp) — Exheavyweight king Ezzard Charles banged his way to a seventh-round technical knockout victory over Bob Albright here Tuesday night in a dull fight witnessed by less than two thousand customers. Charles took several rounds to loosen up, despite the heat ai Pheonix softball park. But he had Albright’s left eye marked by the third round. , Albright spent much of his time early in the fight crowding Charles, whom he outweighed 209 to 197. The cut over Albright’s eye kept him from starting the seventh. It was the same place he was cut Dec. 15„ when Charles beat him in a split decision in Sai* Francisco.

All-star history to complete the grand slam of the game. He was elected Mr. Basketball, chosep captain of the team, broke, the scoring record with 34 points at Butler, then again with 41 at Louisville, and was elected Star

of Stars at both places.

The phrase “greatest prep basketball player in the history of the greatest basketball state in the world,” used exclusively during the past six years in descriptions of Attucks players Bryant, Robertson and Willie “Dill” Gardner, belongs only to Oscar now. HE EARNED IT and he lived it in three years of great basketball played only as Hoosiers can. And he proved it again in the

recent series with Kentucky.

Playing with some of Indiana’s brightest stars—Frank Radovich of Hammond, Ronnie Fisher of Lafayette Jeff, Joe Simpson of Southport and Bob Bradtke of Hammond Noll—Oscar looked .like a professional playing with ariiatuers as he led the Hoosiers to their greatest victories over Ken-

tucky.

The shooting duel between Oscar and King Kelly Coleman, the phenominal mountain boy who averaged 47 points a game in 41 season tilts in the Blue Grass state, never materialized. Coleman was overweight, undertrained and outclassed. Oscar was his guard and the all-around great Attucks athlete guarded so well he managed only 21 points in both tilts, 17 at Indianapolis and only four at Louisville. THE HOOS1ER TEAM, coached by Indiana Central’s Anfius Nicoson, as a unit talent-wise was head and shoulders above the Kentucky group, which had a tremendous height advantage and controlled the backboarcs most of the way in both games. In peak physical condition. Indiana loosed a fast-break that could have been matched only by five bolts of lightning. An unselfish group of net wizards, the Indiana fxiys played team ball, streaking fancy passes around and between the taller, befuddled Kentucky players, setContinued on Page 14
