mbledon Final
$i~
LOS ANGELES (R')-The U.S.-
British Commonwealth track and
field festival gets underway for a
two-day swing today with more
than 180 men and women athletes
from 31 countries competing in
the 32 events on the program.
Warm weather, with doubtless
a touch 'of Los Angeles' famed
smog, was predicted for the event
in Memorial Coliseum, one ac-
claimed as the greatest show in
athletics since the 1932 Olympic
Games in the same arena.
There will be an international
decathlon staged separately from
the main program between ath-
letes from the United States, the
Commonwealth and West Ger-
many.

These are some of the names
familiar throughout the world of
track that are on deck.
The Ryun-Keino clash in the
1,500 has fans in a dither.
What are the chances of break-
ing the world record of 3:35.6
which Aussie Herb Elliott set in
Rome in 1960?
"I don't like to commit myself
before a meet," said Ryun who
has been training at 7,500-foot
altitude in Colorado since he ran
the fastest mile ever, 3:51.1, two
weeks ago.
"The important thing in this
meet is to win," Ryun added.
"Records are sometimes made
while running alone, but more
often they come from competi-
tion," said Keino, who has also
been training at home in high
altitudes.
Decathlon entries include West
Germany's Kurt Bendlin, who this
season scored 8,319 points to
break Russ Hodge's world, record
of 8,230.

Mrs. King, from Long Beach,
,alif., is favored to win the title
gain-even though Mrs. Jones de-
eated her at the Kent Champion-
,hips at Beckenham two weeks be-
ore Wimbledon began.
In all their meetings over the
ears, that was only the second

Vrs. King on grass. The other.

Yesterday was men's final day.
Nilhelm Bungert, the first Ger-
ian to reach the final since Gott-
ried Von Cramm in 1937, was
eaten by John Newcombe, of
ustralia, 6-3, 6-1, 6-1.
But for the British crowds, the
alking point was still Mrs. Jones'
uccess in reaching the women's
nal. Thursday was her sixth

irst time she had ever won.

Both teams have won three of

parly the reason for so many upset
results. Newcombe was the only
seeded player to make the men's
semifinals.
Mrs. King said: "When I came to
practice here the week before the
tournament I found the courts un-
believably fast. I had never known
the ball come off the turf like that.
"The center courts is now a bit
worn and it has slowed down a

"People think of me as a serve-

so. The courts were too fast for
me at first. I like more time to
play my shots.
Mrs. King defeated - Brazil's
Maria Bueno in last year's final.
She was also a finalist in 1963,
losing to Austialia's Margaret
Smith.
Mrs. Jones, now 28, had a tough
battle before overcoming little
Miss Casals, who is just 18 and is
playing in her second Wimbledon
tournament.
The English player said after-
wards: "Maria Bueno and I are
the old brigade, and our day will
soon be passing. Rosemary is the
sort of player who is going to take
over the fight for the title in the
years to come.'
Billie Jean wanted Rosemary
to win, because she's been helping
her with her game in recent
months.
The champion commented:
"Rosey's trouble at the moment
is that she presses a bit too hard.
She looks so good, even when she's
losing. She needs to improve her
basic technique a little more-then
she'd be a real threat to all of us."
At least two of the Wimbledon
finalists-Bungert and Mrs. Jones
-have shown strange caution in
their approach to their big
matches.
Bungert, who runs a sports out-
fitter's wholesale business in Dus-
seldorf, said: "I don't have to win.
My business is my main concern."
Mrs. Jones said: "I have no
burning ambition to win Wimble-
don. Of course, I will try-but it
won'tbe the end of the world if
I fail."
Mrs. King said she is out to win
again tday and then aim for the
grand - slam next year - the
women's titles of Australia, France,!
Wimbledon and Forest Hills.
