UCLA, Southern Cal,
UTEP track favorites
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Two
longtime California track
powerhouses and Texas El-
Paso, a team * loaded with
foreign athletes, are favored in
the NCAA Track and Field
Championship.
Temperatures in the 90s were
forecast for the meet, which
began today with 12 hours of
preliminaries on the artificial
surface of Memorial Stadium.
Finals are scheduled for
Friday and Saturday, with a
delayed telecast on ABC-TV.
The NCAA meet has taken on
added significance with the
decision of the United States to
boycott the Olympics in
Moscow.
A leading track publication
said Texas-El Paso could score
64 points, UCLA 61 and
Southern California 54. Texas
A&M and Villanova were
ranked fourth and fifth, Texas-
El Paso won the team cham-
pionship last year.
Southern California has won
an unprecedented 26 team titles
DeSoto, Palmer
defend crowns
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -
Defending champions DeSoto
in Class 3A and Palmer in B are
among 20 squads competing for
five team championships at the
state schoolboy baseball
toumamerit.
Colmesneil, 19-4, and Wind-
thorst, which advanced to the
tournament with an 8-10 record,
were matched in the opening
game today in the Class B
semifinals.
All semifinal contests were
scheduled today at two fields,
with five title games on
Saturday at Disch-Falk field,
the baseball home of the Texas
I-onghoms,
Also returning from the 1979
tournament are Carrollton
Turner in 4A, l,a Grange in 2A,
Windthorst and Colmesneil, the
runnerup last year to Palmer.
Is Grange won the 3A title in
1973.
The 1979 tournament was the
first time for B, A and 2A to
compete for state team
championships.
Palmer defeated Colmesneil,
6-3, for the title in 1979 and has
three all-tournament players
returning from that cham-
pionship team — pitcher-
outfielder Paul James, first
baseman Brian Almand and
catcher-pitcher Wayne Mathis.
Of the nine Palmer regulars,
the lowest batting average is
.321.
Colmesneil returns two all-
tournament players — second
baseman Kevin Davis and
outfielder Charles Hanks — and
pitcher Darren Bean is one of
the leading hitters in the
tournament with a .511
average.
In Class A, Bart Covin of
Diana New Diana is hitting
.533; Paul Pawelek of Falls
City 488; Stacy Little of Pott-
sboro .453; and Waskom has
two players — Tommy Bowen
and Herbert Johnson — each
hitting .481.
Chris Jackson and Phil Riney
of Aledo in 2A are listed as .600
hitters.
Pitcher Paul Ewell and
catcher Chris Spear of DeSoto
both are 1979 all-tournament
players.
Austin Westlake, another 3A
team, features shortstop Kelly
Gruber, a first-round choice of
the Cleveland Indians in the
recent pro draft, and pitcher
Calvin Schlraldi, a Texas
I/mghorn baseball recruit.
Pitcher John Machin of
Carrollton Turner has been
selected to the North squad for
the schoolboy all-star game.
in 58 years but recently lost star
quartermiler Billy Mullins,
who was declared
scholastically ineligible.
Six individuals who won
seven NCAA titles last year at
Champaign, ni., are competing
this year. Four 1978 champions
and long jumper Larry Doubley
of Southern California, who
won as a freshman in 1977, also
qualified for the NCAA meet.
Doubley, 6-foot-8 and 194
pounds, says he defies “the
laws of physics and gravity” by
running 100 yards in 9.4
seconds. He jumped 26-ll3<t in
1977 but broke a kneecap and is
just now returning to form.
The standout sprinter of the
meet appears to be James
Sanford, also of Southern
California, who has a 10.02 in
the 100 meters, the fastest in
the world this year.
UCLA's stars include Mark
Anderson in the 10-event
decathlon, hurdlers Greg
Foster and Andre Phillips and a
1,600-meter relay team that has
run 3:03.50.
Foster has run the 100-meter
hurdles in 13.27, also the fastest
time the world in 1980.
He won the 200 meters in the
1979 NCAA meet and will be
joined by defending champions
Jerome Deal, Texas El-Paso,
100 meters; Sydney Maree,
Villanova, 5,000 meters; Paul
Pilla, Arkansas State, pole
vault; Suleiman Nyambui,
Texas-El Paso, 10,000 meters;
and Don Paige, Villanova, 800
meters and 1,500 meters.
The 1978 ‘NCAA champions
include Foster in the 110 hur-
dles; Michael Musoyki, Texas-
El Paso, 10,000 meters; Peter
Lemashon, Texas-ul Paso, 800
meters; and Franklin Jacobs,
Farleigh-Dickinson, high jump.
lemashon is a 24-year-old
junior, Nyambui, a 26-year-old
sophomore, and quartermiler
Bert Cameron, another Texas-
El Paso athlete, is a 21-year-old
freshman. All are foreigners.
This is the third time for the
NCAA meet to be run in Austin.
Villanova won in 1957 and
Tennessee in 1974.
ATTENTION!
To The Voters about our canidates that are
running for State Representative; Mr. Cable
has been so busy telling the people what
Smith Gilley has not done, that no one knows
what he stands for or will do if elected.
I think Smith Gilley has proven to the peo-
ple what he will do and has done for The Peo-
ple of his District.
Having been raised with his Mother &
Father and knowing they are the kind of
citizen you are proud to know and have as
your friends; and having known and seen
Smith Gilley grow up, I'm extra proud of him
for being honest & standing for what is right.
I firmly believe that if we had more politi-
cians like Smith, our politics would not be in
the mess they are in.
I know Smith is honest. He knows all the
folks he grew up with whether he is running
for office or not, he is still one of us.
As a Senior Citizen, I hope & pray to God
you will cast your vote for Smith Gilley.
Sincerely,
Juanita Russell

Henbit out of running
EPSOM, England (AP) -
Henbit, the U.S.-bred winner of
the English classic, the Epsom
Derby on Wednesday, frac-
tured a bone in his foot and will
not race again this season.
The news, announced by
veterinary surgeons after
Britain’s richest classic race,
made the $387,022 victory a
bitter-sweet one for Henbit’s
Hungarian-born owner, Mrs.
Arpad Plesch, and trainer Dick
Hem.
“This injury to Henbit takes
all the gilt off the ginger-
bread,” said Hern, who also
trained Troy, the winner of last
year's Derby.
The first sign something was
amiss came when the colt, sold
in Kentucky for only $24,000 two
years ago, veered sharply right
after taking the lead from
Rankin inside the last quarter
of a mile.
But the 7-1 Henbit, ridden by
last year’s Derby winner Willie
Carson, went on to finish one
length ahead of 22-1 outsider
Master Willie, ridden by Philip
Waldron.
By PAULCHUTKOW
Associated Press Writer
PARIS (AP) — For the first
time in at least 25 years, three
Americans have reached the
men’s semifinals of the French
Open tennis championships,
including the scrappy, con-
sistently strong finisher on
these clay courts, Harold
Solomon.
Solomon, runnerup here in
1976 and No. 6 seed this year,
upset Argentina’s Guillermo
Vilas 1-6,6-4,7-6,7-5 in a three-
hour, 39-minute duel under a
blazing sun Wednesday at
Roland Garros Stadium.
Sweden’s Bjorn Borg,
playing near-perfect tennis in
his bid for a fifth men’s crown
here, dispatched Italy’s
Corrado Barazzutti 6-0, 6-3,6-3,
and will meet Solomon in a
semifinal match Friday toward
the $53,000 men’s title.
In the other semifinal,.
Jimmy Connors will face Vitas
Gerulaitis in an all-American
match. Along with Solomon,
they are dreaming of becoming
the first American to win the
French title since Tony Trabert
defeated Sven Davidson of
Sweden in 1955.
Chris Evert Lloyd, defending
her women’s crown here, faced
Czech Hana Mandlikova in a
semifinal match today. In the
other semifinal toward the
$42,500 women's crown,
Romania's Virginia Ruzici
faces Australia’s Dianne
Fromholtz!
After his upset victory of
Vilas, Solomon was asked how
many times he had played the
reigning champion, Borg.
“Too many,” Solomon said,
adding that he has never beaten
him and has failed to win a set
in their last three or four
matches.
Solomon, 27, nonetheless said
he had a new strategy to play
Borg. But he would unveil it
only on these slow clay courts
where he put Vilas into the
category of upset losers along
with No. 2 seed John McEnroe
and No. 2 women's seed Billie
Jean King.
For his part, Vilas 'indicated
he has been sick but he refused
to use that as an excuse for his“
loss. He had stomach cramps
on Monday and asked for, and
was granted, a 45-minute delay
in the starting time of his
match with Spain’s Manuel
Orantes.
The decision to grant the
delay, for which International
Tennis Federation President
Philippe Chatrier has taken
responsibility, brought a
protest from Orantes, who
defaulted to Vilas rather than
play the delayed match.
As has been the case
throughout this two-week
tournament, with its grueling
best-of-five set matches for the
men, the Solomon-Vilas match
was not without its freak in-
cidents.
In this case, a broken ball,
which came on a Solomon
passing shot winner touched off
a howl from the pro-Solomon
crowd when the umpire ruled
the point replayed. Vilas
seemed to lose his con-
centration at that point, and to
end the crowd’s brouhaha he
voluntarily double-faulted in a
display of either court prac-
ticality or good sportsmanship,'
possibly both.
The Association of Tennis
Professionals, a group
representing most of the
touring pRtYefs, said it will
seek a fine against the French
organizers, and on Wednesday
it appeared that the whole
affair would be thus contained.
