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.
"My doctor told me that my
decision is correct provided it is
not the result of snap judgment,"
Liston quoted Jensen as saying.

Ron Beard and St. John's Gor

Gerry Norman swept 1l St Yale's

John Lawlor won the event in

State made a strong bid to cap
ture the two mile relay but Michi
gan's Ergas Leps again took the
Lions right out of the picture with
his powerful finishing kick.
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."

LOS ANGELES (/P)—When
the Los Angeles Angels said
they might draw . a million

a million laughs.

The Angels were encouraged
Sunday when they drew 16.297

made a specialty of appearing be-,

This was a substantial improve

looked as though the Angels and
Minnesota Twins might not draw

About 5,000 showed up for that

The Lions will play at Califor
'nia in 1962. In 1963. they'll jour
ney to Oregon and will entertain
