ATLANTA (R)

- Doctors con-j

firmed yesterday that Gil Hodges,
manager of'the New York Mets,
has suffered a small heart attack.,
Dr. Linton Bishop, a h e a r t
specialist, said the result of a
second electrocardiogram showed
evidence of a "small coronary
thrombosis," but described Hod-
ges' condition as good.
A coronary thrombosis is a
heart irregularity caused by a
blood clot.
Bishop's findings were c o n-
firmed by Dr. J. Willis Hurst,
chief of medicine at Emory Uni-
versity.
"There is no doubt in my mind
that Mr. Hodges will be able to
resume fulltime duties in the fu-
ture," Bishop said.
The doctors advised Mrs.
Hodges, who flew from New York
to Atlanta early yesterday to be
with her husband, that with pro-
per rest and treatment Hodges
would beable to resume his duties
next spring./
DISCUSSES EXPANSION
Bishop informed Mets General
Manager John J. Murphy of
Hodges' condition yesterday after-
noon and told Murphy the man-
ager was well enough to discuss
the upcoming National League ex-
pansion draft with him.
Murphy said he would consult
with Hodges before the d r a f t
next month.
The Mets' manager also was

well enough to name
coach Rube Walker as
manager for the rest of

Meanwhile, doctors said Hodges
was admitted to the hospital on
Tuesday night after he com-
plained of chest pains during a
game' between the Mets and the
Atlanta Braves.
An initial electrocardiogram
showed changes in heart pattern,
but a diagnosis was withheld
pending the second test.
Hodges has piloted the Mets to
71 victories this season, more than

art attack
they have achieved in six prev-
ious years in the National League.
The Mets' manager complained
of the pains during the game but
did not want to go to a hospital.
He was taken from the dugout to
the hospital when the pains did
not subside.
A former All-Star first baseman
with the Brooklyn Dodgers,
Hodges managed the Washington
Senators for five years, leading
them to a sixth-place finish last
season, before taking the helm of
the New York Mets.

Coach Bump Elliott sent the
Michigan varsity through a rig-
orous dummy drill and long wind
sprints yesterday, preparing them
for the heat and humidity ex-
pected Saturday in Durham for
the Wolverines' game with Duke.
Elliott listed both Jon Kramer
and Dave Farrabee as out for the
season. Kramer, a starting de-
fensive end, suffered a knee in-
jury and will undergo surgery, and
Farrabee sustained a broken arm.
Jim Wilhite will fill in for
Kramer, but Cecil Pryor will take

the position if Wilhite's shoulder
injury is not improved.
However, Tom Goss is ready to
play at defensive tackle, although
he is "less than 100 per cent" due
to a hip injury.
Elliott express d "shock" at re-
ports that Duke will be patsies for
his team this weekend.
"Duke is a very good team,"
Elliott declared. "They knocked
off one of the best teams in their
conference last week. We're pre-
paring for their strong run-pass
option, and the Duke defense is
also very good. They're an excel-
lent football team."
Yesterday's practice was closed
to all but the press, and indica-
tions are that this policy will con-
tinue as the Wolverines prepare
for their Saturday foes.

All interested girls are wel-
come.

By now we have algheard of A. Verapara. At least anyone who's
ever been to the Union Lanes has. A. Verapapa is the guy that is
always on that list of people who bowl real good. He usually makes
the list (which is really a sign sponsored by the coco-cola company
and looks like it should light up) for bowling very close, if not
exactly, 300. There are other guys on the list, and they probably all
are suffering pains of anguish now, because currently A. Verapapa
has only bowled 298, and there are couple of people who have out
distanced him on the Laminated Lanes. But to all you other unrec-
ognized and better bowlers: Do not dispair, we salute you because
you're better than Mr. V., but we just don't remember your names.
Verapapa is really quite a name when you think about it.
And his name brings us to the topic of today's wonderful Grid
Picks article. (Whether our wonderful readers realize it or not, Grid
Picks must be written each night, and towards 12:30 a.m. the dead-
lire pressure finally forces someone to sit down at the typewriter, and
think of things to amuse all you sports fans while you eat your
morning coffee.) And today's Grid Picks picks it spotlight on a real
scraggly bunch of guys. (A subjective judgment, no doubt).
The spotlight today is focused on Spiro T. Agnew's Kegler
Kings, the official Daily bowling team. Rolling in at a team average
of approximately 125, the Kings (for short) got off to one hell of a
fiery start last night. Decked out in some of Todd's finest and most
out of sight double-breasted blazers, the Kings (for short) were
a masterpiece of graphic design.
Tnerko (on the far left) wore shocking pink. Block's rags were
in the cleaners, and Sacks thought it more appropriate to dress like
Ed Norton, but Gray has his purple, and Freddy shined on ever1
so brightly in his canary yellow. The Union Lanes were buzzing'
with excitement fever when the Fanciful Five made their appearance.
But lest we mislead our readers who are probably all saying-"Yeah
they got nice clothes, but can they bowl?" We -will state emphatically
and unequivically that: YES, THEY CAN BOWL AS GOOD AS YOU
CAN WALK. Scores from the tournament match last night are not
in for our early morning edition, but at last reports the Kings were
working on a string of 14 consecutives marks.
(For all of you who are really interested in Grid Picks, your in-
dividual enteries must be in by midnight Friday to win one of the
Cottage Inn's famous Pizza Pies, complete with your choice of trim-
mings, and a custom made box.)

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE (A) -
Negro members of the U.S. Olym-
pic track and field team have
dropped their demand that Avery
Brundage resign as president of
the International Olympics Com-
mittee, it was revealed yesterday.
Hilmer Lodge, chairman of the
U.S. Olympic track and f i e l d
committee, said the Brumdage,
the controversial 81-year-old IOC
head, had convinced the group
that remarks he had made con-
cerning a possible demonstration
at the games in Mexico City next
month had been misunderstood.
Brundage spoke with Stan
Wright, Negro assistant coach of
the team, Lodge said, and they
agreed that Brundage had been
misquoted.
On Tuesday, 21 Negro members
of the team signed a statement
calling for Brundage's resigna-
tion, saying it "is long overdue
and is a necessity before a pro-
gressive overhaul of the national
andsinternational sports situation
can begin."
The statement was triggered
by a remark Brundage made at
a news conference that anyone
participating in a demonstration
at Mexico City would be sent
home.
Brundage told Wright his state-
ment had no bearing on the U.S.
track athletes specifically but re-
ferred to all athletes at the games
in all sports.

NEW YORK (-') - The Inter-
national Golf Sponsors Associa-
tion met with officials of the Pro-
fessional Golfers Association yes-
terday and scheduled a meeting
later in the day with the rival
players' organization in the hopes
of bringing the two feuding
groups together.
The meetings apparently had
been scheduled before the PGA
obtained a temporary restraining
order against the rebel American
Professional Golfers (APG) Tues-
day in Wilmington, Delaware. The
APG, with headquarters in New
York, is a Delaware corporation.
Chief Judge Caleb M. Wright,
in Wilmington, issued the order.
which temporarily blocks the new
APG from:',
* "Employing documents, mail-
ing lists and confidential informa-
tion transferred from the PGA to
the APG by a former employee;
* "Entering into any agreement
with a sponsor of a 1968 PGA golf
tournament;
"Soliciting any prospective
tournament player to participate
in or conduct a 1968 qualifying
school."
The APG was formed in August
by dissident pros, including the
top name players and money-win-
ners on the tour.
Named in the PGA's affidavits
as jumping from the PGA to the
APG were Jack Tuthill, the PGA's
tournament director: William A.
Booe, thetournament administra-
tor, and Martin Carmichael, the
television representative.
