CHICAGO (to)-Official forma-
tion of sports federations in track
and field and gymnastics was de-
layed yesterday until July 5,
throwing out the possibility of a
federation track meet in June in
opposition to the National AAU
Championships.
Walter Byers, executive director
of the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association, said the delay
was necessitated because the na-
tional high school group, which
has enthusiastically endorsed the
federation program, needs until
July 5 to poll its constituents in

AAU Responds
At High Point, N.C., AAU Pres-
ident Louis J. Fisher said the de-
lay means "they have realized that
they can't go forward successfully
without our help. They (the NCAA
group) have been trying to create
the false impression that they're
big. They have distorted the facts
and created confusion. Now
they're beginning to see the light."
The Track and Field Federa-
tion organizers had been planning
for a possible meet to be held in
Los Angeles starting June 22, the
same date as the National AAU
meet in Walnut, Calif., outside Los
Angeles This plan was to be the
Federation's show of power in get-
ting the top collegiate performers,
and thus trying to attract enough
attention to get international rec-
ognition. The AAU remains the
only international certifying body
in this. country.
Delay Climax
Holding the two opposing track
meets would have brought the is-
sue between the NCAA and AAU
to a climax in determining a U.S.
team to meet the Russians at
Stanford University July 21 and
22. This impending crisis now has
been resolved with the delay in
formalizing the federation in
track and field.
Byers said there was complete
agreement by the 86 individual
representatives from 13 national
organizations, 21 athletic confer-
ences and state high school asso-
ciations attending the three-day
meetings to move forward with the
federation program.
No Need
Fisher replied that there was no
need for new federations. "The
answer is that they should come
in with the AAU, with full repre-
sentation on our governing com-
mittees."
He added, "they (the NCAA
group) are to be commended in
not encouraging competition
against our meet at Walnut. For,
as we have said before, it remains
that any athlete who competed
in the NCAA Federation meet
would have been automatically
suspended from the AAU's Olym-
pic competition."
Fisher noted that among the
college groups not represented at
the NCAA meeting was the Na-
tional Association of Intercollegi-
ate Athletics (NAIA), and the
armed forces. The latter group, he
noted, had an observer here for
the NCAA meetings.
Jay Inks Pact;
Ends Holdout
TAMPA, Fla. MP)-Spirits at
Cincinnati's spring training camp
rose yesterday when the Reds'
top front-line pitcher, Joey Jay,
ended his holdout.
The 26-year-old right-hander
who won 21 games in the Reds'
surprising push to the National
League pennant last year, signed
for the 1962 season for an esti-
mated $28,000 - about $13,000
more than he was paid in '61.
AUSTIN, Tex ()-State Police
experts began processing yester-
day the results of lie detector tests
taken by 20 Southwest Conference
basketball referees after allega-
tions of game fixing.
Abe Curtis, Conference Super-
visor of Officials, declined com-
ment on what would be done with
the results and the names of of-
ficials who voluntarily took the
tests.
"It's all in the hands of the
state and federal authorities now,"
Curtis said
The matter first became known
after a column in the New York
Post said professional gamblers
believed certain Southwest Con-
ference referees were fixing games.
Authorities would not say wheth-
er, their probe began before or
after the column was published.
The FBI also is investigating.
"I don't know what's going to
happen," Curtis said. "I can't an-
swer anything as of now . . . I'm
concerned only with the present."
State Police Director Homer
Garrison said first that the results
would be turned over to the Con
ference. He later said that "we
will get together with officials of
the Southwest Conference on what
disposition will be taken of the
tests."
The referees began taking the
tests Sunday and completed them
yesterday. Col. Garrison and other
police emphasized that the tests
were requested by Curtis and game
officials took the tests voluntarily.
Officers declined to name those
taking the tests.
Asked how many of the of-
ficials were present for the tests,
Curtis replied, "all of them are
