TUESDAY. MAY 2. 1961 Wettstone Ties With 6-4 Jump By JIM KARL Jerry Wettstone doesn't pre tend to be a John Thomas, but the Lion junior is fast making a name for himself as one of the East's better high jumpers. Wettstone cleared 6-4 Saturday to tie for first with Yale's Bill Flippin in the college...division at the Penn Rglays. - The Lion junior topped 6-5 1 / 2 against Navy April 22 to miss tying Dick Campbell's school record by just half an inch. Wilmore Davis of Morgan State won the invitation division at the Relays, a class reserved for the elite performers in college, AAU and armed forces competition. Davis hit 6-5, one inch over Wettstone's title-winning effort. Campbell, hampered by an ankle injury the past two weeks, hit 6-2 to gain a five way tie for third in the invitational division. State didn't win any of the eight relay events, but the Lions performed well in the individual competition. Bob Brown won the 100-yard dash by half a foot over Mary land State's Dan Miller. The Lion star was slow gettin'• out of the blocks but took the lead at the halfway point and then held off a strong bid by Miller. His time was 9.9 on a sandy and wind-whipped track. Jim Schwab came within less than a foot of breaking his school record in the javelin. His toss of 223-4 was just seven inches shy of the mark he set es et sophomore in 1959. Schwab finished third in the championship division of the jav elin behind Maryland's Nick Ko valakides and LaSalle's Dan Mc- Dyre. Kovalakides set a new relay Jenson's Walkout Unexplained BOSTON (/P)—Jackie Jen sen's sudden walkout on the Red Sox was officially unex plained last night as a train carried him closer to his home and family in Nevada. Red Sox officials, and particu larly Manager Mike Higgins, want to hear from the 34-year old outfielder himself why he took a midnight train out of Cleveland Saturday. There was some speculation Jensen was looking ahead to air trips which the team would make to Kansas City and then Los Angeles. Jensen has a known fear of flying, but he I might have left the team for another reason his poor show ing after a year's retirement. Jackie's wife, former Olympic diving champion Zoe Ann Olsen, felt it was his poor playing. And] Boston Traveler's baseball writer! Bill Liston wrote from Kansas) City that's what Jensen told him, before he boarded the train. Lis-1 ton quoted Jensen as saying: "I can't hit anymore. I can't run. I can't throw. Suddenly my re flexes are gone. I am quitting only! because I have too much pride to] be the 25th man on the Red Sox." Jensen's wife unaware of, these quoted comments—said on! learning Jackie was headedi home: "I'm just speculating, but I have to think Jack feels he's! hurting Boston's chances." Jensen has a .130 baiting av erage for the first 12 games of the season. He has hit safely only six times in 46 times at bat and has only one rbi. Liston wrote that Jensen left the team after consulting with a Boston psychiatrist, Dr. Roy Men finger.

Friday Leps started his amaz ing kick just off the last turn in the four-mile relay to out- distance Harvard's Mark-Mul i tins and State's Steve Moorhead. "This is not snap judgment. For the past five days I've been able to think of nothing else. Dr. Men finger a g r e e d with me so I'm quitting. I feel much better about it to know I have his approval." Dr. Menninger declined com ment. Liston quoted Jensen further: "I don't want to take owner Tom Yawkey's money under false pretenses. Estimated 1961 salary is $50,000. I always re turned dollar for dollar. Now I don't feel I can do that anymore. "I want one thing understood. I'm not quitting in the, sense of the word, I'm not quitting this time, as I did last year, because of my family. I'm not quitting be cause I fear flying, which I still do and always will."

It hardly seems likely, on the :basis of early returns, that they could have been talking about people, But it may still be too early Ito calculate just how many peo pie can be lured into the park with the smallest capacity in the 'majors to watch an American, League grab-bag ball club whose immediate destiny looks darker than the inside of a bowling ball.. The Angels were encouraged Sunday when they drew 16.297 for a doubleheader with the Kan sas City Athletics—who have made a specialty of appearing be-, fore intimate groups. This was a substantial improve ment over Saturday, ' when it. looked as though the Angels and Minnesota Twins might not draw enough for a hand of pinochle. About 5,000 showed up for that one, but the .game was on local TV. * * * ~-y ,- , - : z ., :te:...;!';:' 4 ',;'.l.:V.r'l : - .1.,...,: , :• :: , _,: , -, -:, , i; i v .:.,,i,i,1i,,-1:1 Engineers She'lack Lion Netters, 7-2 By JIM WELSH Penn State's tennis team dropped a 7-2 decision to Le high Saturday on the Engineers' home courts in Bethlehem, Pa.
