Willie Davenport of Baton Rouge, La., finished third to avoid a U.S. shutout in five medal events. Anders Garderd of Sweden won the 3,000-meter steeplechase in world record time after Frank Baumgarti of East Germany, with whom he was running neck and neck, tripped over the last hurdle and left behind. After Bromsenkai Malnowski of Poland leaped over him while he was crumpled on the track. The East German women continued their masterful showing with Barbell Eckert scoring a surprising victory in the women's 2002-dash meter and Rosemarie Ackermann winning the women's high jump with an Olympic record 6-feet-4-leap. The Russians and East Germans increased their lead in total medals. The Soviets had 31 gold, 50 silvers and 23 bronzes to East Germany's 30, 19 and 18. The United States was third with 22, 26 and 19. In boxing, America's John Tate and Cuban defending heavyweight champion Teo菲 Stevenson scored quarter-final victories and got ready for a semifinal showdown bout tonight that may determine the gold medal. Tate had to rally in the third round with a right-hand attack to score a narrow 3-2 decision over West German Peter Husing. The second half saw Finland's Kuokola of Finland in the first round. Tate went into the quarter-finals with a swollen left eye, suffered in his first bolt. It began to bleed in the second round but a doctor said Tate could continue. "I thought the ref was going to stop the fight," Tate said. "I had a little cut on my left eye. But I can't get to let no little cut in. And I had I in the last round, and I won it." The Russians swept the hammer throw as track and field competition resumed after a one-day layoff. Yuriy Syedekh, former world junior champion, won the gold with an Olympic record throw of 254 feet, 4 inches. The old record was 247-8. The Russians also won the first Olympic gold medal awarded in women's team handball by beating East Germany 14-11. The French silver and Hungary took the bronze. Veteran Brendan Foster of Great Britain shattered the Olympic record for 5,000 meters with a clocking of 13 minutes, 20.34 seconds during a trial heat. The time by Foster erased the previous mark of 13.26.48 set by Lasse Viren of Finland four years ago at Munich. Viren also qualified for Friday's final. Esther Roth, the only 179 Israeli Olympic athlete who was on the 1972 Munich team that was decimated by Arab terrorists, set a national record in the women's 100-meter hurdles and Francis Larryri broke the American women's mark in the 1,500-meter hurdles. Roth qualified in 13.04 seconds, better than her own Israel record of 13.09. The top qualifier was Tatiana Anisimova of Russia at 12.91—but her heat was scheduled to be rerun Friday because of a disqualification. Larierre, Long Beach, Calif., finished sixth in her first heat of the 1,500 but still lowered the American record to 4:07.21 in Merrill, Waterford, Conn., also qualified. All three Americans in the long jump qualified—defending Olympic champ Randy Williams, Fremo, Calif.; Arnie Muckle and Larry Myricks, Mississippi College. Wylie's future uncertain By DAVESTEFFEN The future of Cliff Wihle as a University of Kansas sprinter may be decided this Sunday when the U.S. District Court in Topeka is expected to rule on his suit against the league to negotiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for disqualifying him from college competition. "If I don't win the case I'm not sure I'll be able to return to KU," Wily said yesterday. The NCAA ruled in March that WYA's financial assistance exceeded the NCAA limits for outside aid to athletes, and was denied from competition with the KU track team. WYLLE, Baltimore, Md. Junior, received a $2,600 scholarship from KU as well as a $1,400 grant from the Federal Basic Educational Opportunity Grant program. This $4,000 in aid boosted Wyke over the $2,756 limit the NCAA has set for student athletes at KU. Wyfe jifled suit against the March NCAA ruling and obtained a temporary restraining order allow him to compete in the Big Eight Outdoor track meet in May and the NCAA Outdoor track meet in June to prepare for the Olympic trials. In addition to obtaining the temporary restraining order, allowing him to try for the Olympics, Wylie pointed to two other purposes of his suit. "I hope to receive all my past financial assistance by winning the court case. I had to borrow heavily to get through last spring and I'd like to pay it back soon." Wylie said. "Also, winning the suit would allow me to keep receiving the level of aid I've gotten the last two years and need to afford KU," he said. LEADING WYLIE's attempt to win his case are his attorney, Phil Miller, and the Kansas Civil Liberties Union, which is providing financial assistance. Miller's arguments center on one major challenge to the NCAA. He said he believed that the federal BEOG aid, which was designed to substitute for inadequate parental financial support shouldn't be counted towards the NCAA outside assistance limit when parental contribution to well-off athletes as well as funds from other federal grants such as social security are not. The NCAA defends its rule, saying it prevents universities from trying to lure top athletes with large packages of financial aid. The NCAA has asked for a dismissal of the rule. While due process through hearings and before the plaintiff has no cause of action. Wily said he was optimistic about the chances of his case and not embittered at the fact that he had won. "IM NOT mad at the NCAA," he said. "The majority of their rules are valid, but there are a few sleepers like this one that tend to hurt athletes in the process of trying to help. I just hope they realize this and make an exception to the rule." Bim Timmons, KU track coach said he agreed with Wylie. "I approve of the NCAA's theoretical purpose but Cliff has good reason to oppose the way it has worked out for him. He's in the right and I hope he wins the case." Wyile says the litigation has hurt his training, education and reputation. "I was able to run some good times this spring and summer but wasn't in condition to run a good time in one race and come back an hour later and it do again," he said. BUT WYLIE said the people at KU have supported him in his trouble. "I was really depressed during the spring and thought of transferring to another school to run track. But the people at KU stayed in my corner. That goes a long way and is one of the reasons I didn't transfer," he said. Wylie said he didn't know whether the case would be appealed if he lost. Miller anticipates the case will be appealed to U.S. Circuit Court in Denver, Colorado, if needed. Timmons said he doubted the NCAA would appeal the case. "An appeal by the NCAA would be very, very unpopular. It would mean fighting an economically handicapped youngster I had to win. You really be that determined to win the case." 2 former 'Hawks sample pro ball Staff Write By BRYANT GRIGGS Two former University of Kansas baseball stars, Tom Kraftil and Roger Shagle, are discovering what it's like to play professional baseball. Rightfielder Kratti, who was drafted by the Kansas City Royals last June, is now in Sarasota, Fla., on the class A team there. He has been a double-A starter for Yankees' farm team in Leverkusen. Both ended impressive careers at KU last year on the most successful baseball team ever at the University. The team won 23 games and lost 14. Slagle, from Larned, said he spent most of his leisure time on the Atlantic Ocean beaches before doing battle with batters each day. "We play on noon everyday, but once a week we play at night," Kratts said. "We start batting practice about 3 o'clock everyday and later on we play night games," Sligle said. "I'm pretty much on my own before then." Single engleys the sun, but Kratti, from Leavenworth, is on the field at 9:45 a.m. Both players said one problem most rookies had to overcome was transition from college to professional baseball. Daily baseball games soon take their toll. "We play every day," Krattli said, "but you have to get used to it. If you have a bad practice the day before, you have to forget about it and do better the next day." Slagle said he didn't mind the heavy schedule as much as the hot weather. "I've been playing a bit," Krattli said, "but I'm not as doing well as I'd like to. Right now my batting average is around 80 percent that I've had no serious problems." But, the weather aside, both players said they were doing pretty well in the summer camps. "The humidity is much higher and it makes you get tired more quickly." he said. "So far I've played around 50 innings and my ERA is about 2.2. My record is 3-4, but in my game last night I didn't get a decision," he said. On an 11-pitcher team, Slagle has become one of the six starters. Although both rookies said they appreciated their training camp experience they said it would be awhile before they'd appear in major league uniforms. Coke $ 2^{\mathrm{c}} $ Krattli, however, said he had other plans. After the conclusion of rookie camp in August, he will attend KU this fall and go back to training camp next March. or your Favorite Soft Drink 20* Size With the purchase of any Basket Dinner on our menu July 19-31 only With the purchase of any Parts for ALL Imported Cars "If I'm good enough, I'll go up to New Haven, Conn., for the AA class, and from there I will be with the pros in the AAA league in Syracuse, N.Y."
