DAD PAYS OUT Asked by U.S. AAU TO HELP DAVE to return medals

Greenville, May 28.

University, has been naked by the U.S. Amsleur Athletle Union to return the two medals he won in Raleigh, 1.0., Izst week, and with them hla AAU certificate.

The question causing heated arguments in BRITISH printer Dave Seral, freshman at Furman

this sporting circles week-end is: Should sprinter Dave Segal's father have to foot the bill for his son's return fare from America in order 'to stake Dave's claim to a place in Britain's Olympic_track_team?

Shed no tears for the Segals. They have no case to show why young Dave's fare should have been a charge on the British Amateur Athletics Board. Didn't he trade his track prowess for American university education, and fly off in defiance of the British Board's ban?

Segal was originally booked to return home on July 2n barely two weeks before the AAA championships - but his father has now told him to get back as soon as possible after term ends next Saturday.

No apologies

Furman track coach Chuck Rohe said that Segɛl, who hoper to make the British Olymple team, will comply with the request. Babe added that both he and Segal regretted very much if anyone had been embarrassed by the incident.

Brilish track officials had called on Segal for an account- ing but had hinted that no matter what he answered be had not forfelled his chance to make the Olympic team:

Robe said Segal's application for an AAU card was honoured in Haleigh and after discussion of his status be was given permission to run. He won both the 100 and the 220 yard dashes, representing the Piedmont Athletic Club,

Rohe, explaining that the competition was sectional (Carolinas), AAU Moeling, said Segal had been told by the British Amateur Athletic Board that he could not compete in national or international AAU events, but nothing was zald about sectional meetings.

REGRETTED

Rohe explained that Segal regretted the misunderstanding and would gladly surrender the medals. Segal hoped no one who competed would be jeopardised, the coach continued, adding: "Segal just wanted to run against some fast competition."

The British Board wants to know why Begal competed in a meeting last weekend without its permisalon, When Segal entered Furman last January, the Board refused to give permission to compete for fear the scholarship would impair hir amateur status. Only amateurs can compete in the Olympics.

"There is a great deal of difference between an athlete losing his amateur status on the grounds of professionalism. and one who has committed a breach of the rules,” suld Jack Crump, Board Secretary,

"The former can not compete in any International meeting, even if he is reinstated. The latter can."

Although the work of the Hong Kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association is planried to meet the needs of this ・・・ particular community, it is also part of the universal effort to eradicate tuberculosis. Scientists, doctors and others specialising in the treatment of tuberculosis throughout the world have made great discoveries during the last few years and the fruits of their labours are being made available to sufferers of this disease here in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong Anti-Tuberculosis Association.

The future development and exten- sion of the work of the ⠀ Association depands very largely upon the Annual Appeal for funds and it is good to remember that every donation represents an Investment in health protection for our children and for ourselves.
