NEW YORK AP The battle for track control widened as the Eastern College Athletic Conference ruled its athletes should not compete in the AAU national championships where the U.S. team for Moscow will be selected. Cal conferences like the Big Six were expected to follow, risking cancellation of the Moscow trip. ECAC commissioner Asa Bushnell denied charges of trying to wreck the U.S. team and urged competition under peace negotiations with Gen. Douglas MacArthur. Only one college athlete, C. K. Yang of Formosa, has entered the nationals, not eligible for the U.S. team. The AAU sought a MacArthur ruling on dual sanction between the AAU and the Federation.

If boycotts hold, the U.S. team could be overwhelmed by the Russians, who have never defeated an American men’s team. Colleges control most top sprinters in shorter events.
