Reds Are PickedSTANFORD, Calif. lt;AP - The United States women'■ track team, given virtually no chance to end Russian domination of the sport, could still win four of 10events, said coach Donnis Thompson of Hawaii Tuesday.And if some of our girls had the incentive to stay in the condition they were in a few years ago, we could win a couple more, she added.The U.S.-Sovie tmeet, in which the American men are favored, will be held Saturday and Sunday in Stanford’s 90,000 seat stadium.Wilma Rudolph Ward, the darling of the 1900 Olympics, isn’t running as fast as when she won three gold medals at Rome. But Donnis figures Wilma will win the 100-meter dash and anchor a winning 400-meter relay team Just as she did against Russia in 1961.Oddly, WUma will not run the 200 meters. “She simply did not qualify for the team in that event, so she won’t run it. We have no challenge system or anything like that, and I foresee no changes at this time,” stoutly maintained theU.S. coach.
