In Track, At Tracks Why Not Photograph Those Close BB Calls N. Y. AMSTERDAM NEWS, Sat., June 1, » Kingsmen Lose The Kingsmen Chess Club of the Bedford Branch YMAC, 1121 Bedford Ave., Bklyn , lost their fourth match in a row by a score of fi’/i to 14 to the Marshall Chess Clyb at the Y. The Kingsmen’s lone victory in the eight-game match was scored by Matthew LeGrand at third board. LeGrand. who was the team's lending winner last year, won his first point of the current season in the Marshall Match. Ian Morris managed to draw which enabled the Kingsmen to salvage another half point. TOPS AT ST. JOHN’S — Vot­ ed the top basketball player at St. John’s University for this year was Donnie Burlu, shown here with Redman coach Joe Lapchick, who described Burks as "the best backcourt man I ever had.” Lapchick, a college professional coach for 28 years, has had many great players and his tribute to Burks is high praise. Burks, who gra­ duates from St. John's next month, may try for a career in show business as he has a fine voice and has already been featured at many college dances and shows. should not be assumed tha t they are. The men behind the TV cam­ eras are experts. They can “catch” almost any play that takes place and they usually do. Take, for example, the disputed home run that "dumped” the Mets on the West Coast recently. More than likely it was accur­ ately photographed. The spot where the ball entered the stands could have been available in pic­ tures seconds alter the ball was hit. Photography is used to deter­ mine winners in track events and in horse racing. Why couldn’t a procedure be worked out to cover questionable plays in baseball? Pictures taken of a doubtful call could be examined by all four umpires with a representative of each team locking on. If the picture shows the call was correct, the matter would end there. If it was clearly shown that the call was incorrect, it could be changed. If, however, the angle from which the pic­ ture was taken left any doubt, the umpire's original call would stand. As far as any argument Is concerned that this would take time and delay the game, it is doubtful if such a procedure would consume as much time as is taken up for rhubarbs that oc- ur in these situations and in get­ ting the players off the field aft- l they have been ousted from he game. The ouster of the men in the Dodger - Met game may not have any great bearing on The outcome of the National League pennant race, nor effect the loop’s final standings, but this may not al­ ways be the case. TITLE FIGHTS BACK-TO-BACK The "Fight of the Week,” will present championship fights on two consecutive Sat­ urdays June 1 and 8, over ABC-TV. On June 1, light heavyweight champion Harold Johnson defends his title against Willie Pastrano at Las Vegas Convention Center. The following Saturday, June 8, world welterweight cham­ pion Luis Rodriguez meets former titleholder Emile Grif fith in a return title match at Madison Square Garden, N Y. Both bouts will be televised by ABC-TV at 10 p.m., EDT. By LES MATTHEWS Dodger outfielder Willie Davis and coach Leo Durocher were tossed out of the Mets - Dodgers game by umpire Jocko Conlon when they reportedly became too violent over the arbiter’s "out” call at home plate. An excellent picture was made of the play. Why wasn’t this shot made available to the umptrei ftnmed- ittely after the play? Why wasn’t the TV shot of the play scrutin­ ized immediately? Squabbles such as those which led to the bounc­ ing and fining qf the two Dodg crs, could have been avoided. Umpires are not infallible and it Harvard's Awori Faces Tough Men In IC4-A Aggrey Awori. a sophomore from Kampala, Uganda, is mak­ ing track history at Harvard — setting all-time Crimson records in the 100 ( 9.7), 220 (20.6) and 120 high hurdles (14.0), w!n- ning four gold medals in the indoor Heptagonals, etc. Saturday at Downing Stadium, Randalls Island, in the 87th an­ nual I C.4-A championships, the oldest U S. outdoor track meet, the exuberant African can be­ come the first wearer of the Crimson to win an I.C.4-A. out­ door sprint title in 54 years. R. C. Foster, the archives show, won the 100 and 220 in 1900, and no one from the Square in Cambridge has won either dash since then. unbeaten indoors and indoor con­ queror of Awori, is just recover­ ing his flashy speed after a long siege with a pulled muscle suf- fered"last February. He could be a factor, based on his leg-testing 48.8 quarter in rain and mud last Saturday, and his first out­ door sprinting last Wednesday in his home farewell when he won the 100 in 10.1 and 220 in 21.7 against Springfield. Ash­ worth, when in top form, set the Heptagonal 100-yard_ record of 9.4 last year. Colgate’s Sam Amukun, a soph­ omore from Uganda too and a 1960 Olympic teammate of Avo­ n's at Rome, has also recovered his great speed after recovering from a leg pull. Owing to the tight I.C.4-A. schedule which shows trials in the 100, high hurdles and 220 one after the other on Friday, Awori will have to skip the 120-yard high hurdles in which he has set an all-time Harvard record of 14 seconds. He is the IC4A indoor high hurdles champion. The 22-year-old Awori comes to the Intercollegiates with gau­ dy credentials. He is unbeaten in the two sprints this outdoor season with best times of 9.7 ! and 20.6 straightaway, but he faces testing opposition from Bobby Moreland, Michigan State sopfiomore, unbeaten him­ self until hv was edged by Pur­ due’s Nate Adams in the Big Ten 100 and 220 in 9.3 and 20.8 (turn). Moreland had won the Penn Relays invitation 100 after tying the Penn Relays record of tercollegiates Friday and Satur- day. It’s the windup of the East’s 9.5 in a heat.
