Oldfield Method Questioned After 75-Foot Shot
AP reports Parry O'Brien questions Brian Oldfield's 75 foot shot in El Paso pro meet. O'Brien, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, notes potential illegal pivot and technique, while acknowledging merit of the new method. The 75-0 surpasses Feuerbach's official 71-7 world record but may not count for IAAF due to amateur standards.

Teams Fight On As Telegram League Woes Continue
With seven games left in the Telegram League season Curtis sees Deering possibly dropping three more, including a clash with Thornton in Saco. The Golden Trojans refuse to quit until mathematically eliminated, praising Bill Caddigan for a week of strong pitching while Sears tops the batting race at .429. At Biddeford High, Jim Maguire calls a 0-3 week disastrous as he reshuffles infielders and credits reliever Mike Gabiel for a bright spot. The Tigers, 3-7, remain hopeful of turning things around against Thornton and later Westbrook, relying on Dineen’s bat and a rallying lineup.
