Tonirht's joust of state hfch school track and ixcld champions in the Luke-Grcrnway Invitational at North Phoenix will mark the lost appearance of some of Arizona's best prep athletes of all time.

Schuler is the hurdler and 440 man but. will forsake his specialties to engage the two best middle distance runners in Class AA in the 880 Phoenix Union seniors Ray McKisson and Bob Shankland.
McKisson, holder of the state's fastest mile, and Shankland will bypass all other races to make the duel. Class A A 440 champ Emmett Smith of Glen-dale has withdrawn from that event to run the mile for the first time. Tate's entry in the 440 as well as the 220, the 100, and the broad jump discouraged some. He set the L-G record of 49.6 in the 440 the first time he ever ran the race.

Western Michigan is in the same district with at-large candidates Alma of Michigan (J.3-4), Ashland (9-1), and Mount Union (7-1) of Ohio.
West Virginia (18-3) is being kept on the hook by The Citadel, which can overtake the Mountaineers in the Southern Conference. Rollins, runner-up to Missouri in the 1954 college World Series, has a 21-6 record and likely will be the at- large team in the District Three playoffs with Wake Forest, Alabama, and the eventual Southern Conference winner.

Top teams in District One are Massachusetts, Holy Cross, Rhode Island, and Boston College. In District Two Duquesne and Ithaca have 12-0 records with Buffalo, Fordham, and Upsala in contention.

The pert, 22-year-old U.S. Amateur champion, her usually steady game in fragments, never had a chance. She lost two of the first three hoWs and fell farther back as play progressed.
"I did my best," Miss Romack said dejectedly afterwards. "It wasn't enough. The ankle had too much wear and tear over the past two weeks. "But I'll be back." The California Miss saved nickles and dimes from her insurance job for three years to -ry -JivMl -MS make this bid for a title won by only two other Americans-Babe Didrickson Zaharias and Louise Suggs. But after sweeping into the finals and gaining the favorite's role she developed a pulled ten don in her left ankle overnight.
She couldn't put full weight on her foot. Her swing and concen tration were badly handicapped. She shot an 88 on the morning round compared with 81 for her opponent and was no better for the 12 holes played after lunch. Mrs. Valentine, mother of a seven-year-old boy, is an experi enced international player who won this same title as Jessie Anderson in 1937, when Barbara was only four years old.
She was runnerup in 1950. WESTERN OPEN SET The Western Open golf cham pionship will be held June 23-26 at the Portland Country Club, Portland, Ore. with an SM -game lead over sec ond-place Boston and a nine-game margin over third place Philadelphia.

The 1945 Cubs, on May 21, were nine games behind the pace setting Giants but when the season ended, the Cubs had won the pennant and the Giants were mired in fifth place 19 games behind Chicago.
or Miss NEW YORK (AP) Five college baseball teams already have clinched berths in the 1955 national collegiate championships by winning their conference titles and a half dozen other races are scheduled for decision this weekend. A roundup by the NCAA Service Bureau yesterday re vealed that Wake Forest (Atlantic Coast), Alabama (Southeastern), Western Michigan (Mid-America), Texas (Southwest), and Colorado (Rocky Mountain) already are in for the district playoffs. Twelve conference champions and from 12 to 18 at large teams will play for the eight NCAA district titles. The winners will qualify for the ninth college world aeries at Omaha, June 10-14. The only at-large team selected so far is Arizona, which had a 37-5 record for the season.
The Wildcats play Texas (19-5) for the District Six title. Yesterday Dr. Emil Larson, Border Conference commissioner, said in Tucson the series would be played at neutral Bryan, May 30, 31, and June 1. Arizona last year won the District Seven berth, but this year has returned to District Six. Two undefeated teams are on the list of contenders for places in the college World Series and one of them, Oklahoma has to go through two playoffs to earn a spot in Rock Agrees, Butt Caused co*ckell Cut LOS ANGELES (INS) World heavyweight champion Rocky Marciano agreed yesterday that the controversial cut on British challenger Don co*ckell's forehead in their title fight was caused by an accidental butt.
Marciano, who TKO'd the Briton in the ninth round at San Francisco last Monday night, said in Los Angeles, however, that he didn't think co*ckell or his backers had "any beef coming. The champ said the cut on co*ckell's forehead was "just om of those things. "And that right hand I hit him with when he was going down well, I threw a left-right combination, and I couldn't have stopped that right if my life depended on it It all happened in a split second, and once you start a combination like that, you can't stop it."

good tear. Stanky undoubtedly had the 19ol season in mind when the Giants after Aug. 11 won 37 of the last 44 to wipe out a Brooklyn lead of 13 games.
