Withdrawals
MELBOURNE (J)-Avery Brun-
dage, militant president of the In-
ternational Olympic Committee,
came to Melbourne last night with
a sharp blast at countries which
pulled out of the Olympic games.
He also said he doubted there
would be any successful protests
against aggressor nations, such as
Russia,. because "the Olympic
Games belong to the people. They
are contests for individuals and
not of nations."
No Official Protests Heard
Brundage said he had heard ru-
mors of possible protests but none
had come officially to his atten-
tion. Supporters of Hungary were
reported ready to ask the IOC to
bar Russia from the games be-
cause of military intercession in
r Hungary.
"If we called off the games ev-
ery time politicians got the world
in a mess, we never would have
the games," Brundage said.
C Communist China, Holland,1
Egypt, Spain, Lebanon and Iraq
have withdrawn from the 1956
games. Teams from 68 nations
open competition next Thursday.
Athletic training has reached a
new peak with most of America's
top track and field stars ready
for the meet Saturday in Bendigo,
last dress rehearsal before the
games open.
Russia Airs Plan
Earlier in the day, Russian ath-
letic chiefs invited the American
officials to Soviet quarters to dis-
cuss an annual meeting of the
track and field teams of the two
nations on a home-and-home ba-
s1s.
The first meeting would be in
Moscow next summer and the fol-
lowing in either New York or Los
Angeles the year after. Then the
series would be conducted annual-
ly, skipping only Olympic years.
American Oly
Powerful Cha
By AL JONES
No United States Olympic bas-
ketball team has ever been beat-
en, and there is no reason why
they should, this year.
Basketball is the only truly Am-
erican sport in the Olympic
Games, and since its innovation
in 1936, the United States teams
have completely dominated the
competition.
Only in 1952 did an American
team have any trouble. That year
both Uruguay and Russia had
formidable outfits, but the Am-
erican cagers, paced by 7 ft. 1 in.
Bob Kurland, rushed past both
groups. Uruguay fell in the semi-
finals, 57-44, and the Russians
were downed in two games, 86-58
and 36-25, to hand America the
championship.
Again this year the Russians
are expected to be the toughest
competition, but many observers
feel that they aren't as strong as
in 1952. The Russian group has
been scrimmaged by different
groups in Melbourne during the
past week, and are described as
big and rough but not exception-
ally good in a polished way.
They are led by big, 7'4" Jan
Krouminch, who is a virtual mon-
ster on the court. However, he is
considered too awkward to af-
ford the American any trouble. All
he does is turn and shoot, not
jumping well at all.
On the other hand, the Amer-
icans constitute one of the best
amateur basketball outfits ever
assembled. They are led by Bill
Russell, perhaps the greatest bas-
ketball player ever to step on a
cage floor. Everyone in America
has become familiar with Russell's
phenomenal antics as he led his
San Francisco College team to
two straight NCAA Champion-
ships.
It is expected that Russell will

An injury - riddled Michigan
State squad meets a Minnesota
team smarting from its first loss
of the season in a game carrying
high stakes for both sides this
afternoon in Minneapolis.
The Spartans will be without

are doubtful starters.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, who:
are on the road to an unprece-
dented third straight Big Ten
title, will attempt to shatter Iowa's
Rose Bowl dreams as they clash
with the Hawkeyes in a showdown
battle at Iowa City today.
Records would seem to favor
the Buckeyes. They stand first in:
offense in the Conference, third
in defense and their team is
healthy. The Hawkeyes, however,
are still hampered by injuries to:
key men.
If the Hawkeyes have any ad-
vantage at, all it lies in the fact
that they have never made the*
Pasadena trip before which gives

Miami Wins
MIAMI, Fla. (P)--Miami's Hur-
ricanes, smarting under the NCAA
decision to bar them from a bowl
game for the third straight year,
gained sweet satisfaction last
night by smearing the Clemson
Tigers, one of the probable Or-
ange Bowl teams, 21-0.
Quarterback Sam Scarnecchia
scooted for two touchdowns and
fullback Don Bosseler rammed for
the other as the Hurricanes
rubbed all the luster off the com-
ing Orange Bowl game which is
expected to match Clemson
against Colorado.

Texas Eyes Leahy
HOLLYWOOD (A') - Frank
Leahy, former Notre Dame foot-
ball coach, said yesterday the pos-
sibility that he may become Uni-
versity of Texas athletic director
seems "rather slight" at this time.
Leahy, in Hollywood for a tele-
vision sportscast, said he had re-
ceived an nivititation from the
university to go to Texas to dis-
cuss the position and that when
he had cleaned up some business
matters he might do so.

Illinois was second in the team

make a complete fool of Krou-
minch, since Russell will be able
to outjump the Russian easily,
blocking many shots, a habit of
his throughout his college career.
Another San Francisco player
has gained the position of the
Olympic team sparkplug. K. C.
Jones, an excellent ball handler
and fine jump shot expert, should
give the Russians plenty of trou-
ble with his ball stealing tactics.
An old friend of anyone who
follows Big Ten basketball is
Chuck Darling, of Iowa, leading
scorer and most valuable player
in the Conference back in 1952.
He stands 6'8" and should afford
the 6'11" Russell some valuable
help under the boards.
Another Iowa product on the
team is more recently famous in
Big Ten circles. Carl Cain, stand-
ing a mere 6 ft. 3 in., is one of the
quickest and smartest players that
has appeared in recent years.
These players are backed up by
many more famous cagers, and
coached by Gerald Tucker. He
has coached the Phillips 66 Oilers
for the past two seasons, and was
an All-American cager himself in
1947 when he led the Oklahoma
University team.

tied one hardly seems to have the
stuff. The battle against Okla-
homa's 37-game winning streak is
a last ditch pitch by Missouri for
the Orange Bowl.
Oklahoma's backfield, triggered
by dependable Jim Harris at quar-
terback, is one of the most menac-

McDonald, Clendon Thomas or
Billy Pricer to call upon, Harris
has had little difficulty in some-
one to pick up that extra yard
this season.
Georgia Tech Meets 'Bama
Fourth-rated Georgia Tech, also
very much in therbowl picture,
meets Alabama, a two-game win-
ner this season which shouldn't
make much trouble.
Texas A&M, apparently heading
for its first Southwest Confer-
ence title since 1941, takes on
Rice. Denied a probation pardon
by the NCAA and thus ousted
from a bowl shot, A&M must win
today and beat Texas next week
to capture the title. But theCotton

runnerup probables.

are Wisconsin at Illinois and Pur-
