U.S. Wins 6 Gold Medals Red Sclioeiidienst Inks New Contract Bv WILL GRIMSLEY MEXICO CITY (AP) The Russians contend that American 'futbol." one sport they didn't originate, is primitive savagery, with ambulances lined up every Saturday at the stadium to cart the dead away. No such fate for the intrepid picker, who goes on peddling his wares unabashed. Last 8 Grimsley picked the University of Texas at El Paso over New Mexico State 55-14. In other games involving: Western Athletic Conference teams he predicted Colorado State 18, Air Force 14; Wyoming 20, Utah 13; Brigham Young 14, Arizona Oregon State 28, Arizona State 13, and San Jose State 23, New Mexico 6.

ST. LOUIS (AP) Red Schoendienst signed Wednesday to manage the National League champion1 St. Louis Cardinals baseball club again next season and expressed satisfaction with his one year contract. Salary terms were not disclosed. Informed sources said he got a raise of about $10,000 a year which put h-m in the $55,000 range in his fifth year as manager.

A year ago. after winning the World Series, Schoendienst expressed disappointment that his 196S contract was for only one year. "Very satisfied," was the way he put it a y. "The Cardinals have alwavs treated me nice, especially since Mr. Busch took over.

He's been just great." He referred to August A. Bjsch president of the club. Schoendienst said the team is pretty well set for the 1969 season but he would like to strengthen h.s pitching staff. Cardinal pitching which carried the team most of the season, tailed off in the final weeks and, with the exception of ace Bob Gibson's performance, was generally ineffective against Detroit in the World Series. "I just hope Gibson is okay again next year," Schoendienst said.

It was suggested that if Gibson could pitch every day, the Cardinals would have no worries. 'Yea Schoendienst replied laughing, "but then they wouldn't need me." Schoendienst said he expects Mike Torrez, young righthander who was 8-2 with Tulsa last season, to provide some mound help. "He'll certainly get a good tryout this spring," the Card manager said. I week's score: 42-17 for .712. I BlS If Highlands Is Sixth after leading with two laps to go-Miss Besson tied the women's 400 mark, set by Australia's Betty Cuthbert four years ago at Tokyo, with a brilliant 'sprint through the stretch that overtook Lillian Board of Britain.

Natalia Pechkina of Russia was third and Jarvii Scott, the lone American finalist from Los Angeles, sixth with a 52.7 clocking. Miss Becker came fom behind in the final event and won the women's pentatholon with a total of 5.098 points. Liese Prokof of Austria, the leader after four events, finished second with 4,966 pionts with third going to Annamaria Toth-Kovacs of Hungary with 4,959. Pat Winslow of San Mateo, was sixth with 4,877. Lusis, who has a world record javelin toss of 301-9 pending, twice broke the listed Olympic mark while giving the Soviets their second gold medal.

a Kinnunen of Finland, the runner-up, and bronze medalist Gregely Kulc-sar of Hungary also topped the Olympic record of 281-2 Vi. set by Egil Danielsen of Norway in 1956. Gentile set the world triple jump record with a leap of 56-lli4 inches and Zsivotsky heaved the hammer 238 feet, 2 inches to top the 1 i standard. Evans, another of San Jose State's fantastic sprint stars, hared the day's fastest time, 45.3 seconds, in leading the U.S. advance in the 400 meters.

James and Freeman each finished third in his heat. James and Freeman finished third in their heats with 45.8 and 45.6 clockings. Davenport, knocked out of the 1964 Olympics by an injury and off this summer before he blazed to a 13.4 seconds clocking in the U.S. Trials, won the opening heat in 13.6. Hall, a 21-year-old Philadelphian, took the second heat in 13.7 and Coleman, 24, had the same clocking in the fourth.

George Foreman, the U.S. gold medal hopeful in heavyweight boxing, won his first bout with a unanimous decision over Poland's Lucjan Trela. Foreman, a 218-pound 19-year-old from Pleasanton, carried the fight and scored heavily throughout. In Small Colleges Kentucky (Continued from Page -D) toss of 295 feet, 7 inches: Victor Kurerstsov, another Rus- an. who won the middleweight wefghtlfiting title, and Inpid Becker of West Germany, who captured the demanding women's pentathlon.

Gmaeppe Gentile, a law student from Rome, set a world record qualifying for the triple jump final, and Hungarian hammer thrower Gyula Zsivot-sky matched the Olympic mark in another preliminary. In other qualifying events, Americans Davenport, Erv Hall and Leon Coleman won their heats in the 100-meter hurdles while Lee Evans sprinted to a decisive victory in his opening 400-meter trial, breezing into the second round with teammates Larry James and Ron Freeman. The pole vaulting competition was one of the most dramatic in Olympic history, with an unprecedented five vaulters till in contention at three-quarters of an inch higher than the accepted world mark. It appeared that Pennel would not make it to 17-S4 because he missed all three of his tries at 17-6. But the Judge ruled that the Olympic band interfered with Pennel's cecond attempt when it played a fanfare for a medal ceremony as he was gliding down the runway.

Pennel then took a fourth try and this time made it. However, he and Papanikolaou failed at 17-8, leaving Sea-f ren, Nordwig and Schiprows-ki to vault it out. Before starting at 17-10, the trio asked that two towers of lights in front of their eyes as they ran toward the pit be turned off. The lights had been turned on long before, and approximately 65.000 entranced spectators watched the stadium infield. Nordwig fell heavily on his first try.

Seagren kicked off the bar, and Schiprowski dragged it off with his chest. Nordwig soared over the bar on his second try and barely brushed it off on the way down. Seagren also got over the bar but brushed it. Both times the crowd roared with delight, but the roar turned to a massive groan. Schiprowski wasn't close on his second try, falling under the bar.

Norwdwig again failed narrowly on his third and last attempt, and then Seagren took the spotlight. He was given a big cheer when he went to the head of the runway, but he kicked off the bar on his way up. Schiprowski also missed, and the competition finally had ended after nearly 6U hours with Sea- g-en declared the winner. Smith, ho was in tne middle of the threatened boycott of the Games by U.S. black-athletes, won his sem final heat in 2C.1 but pulled up lame.

He was rushed to the infirmary where American doctors determined he had a pulled muscle in the upper groin of his right leg. "We don't know whether he will be able to run in the finais or not, but it looks favorable," they said. They then put ice on the muscle, and Smith was ready to go when the the finalists to the starting l.ne. Wearing black socks, symbol of a form of Negro protest. Smith flashed along the course and won by two meters.

As he hit the tape, he threw up his arms in exultation and held them outstretched as he swirled well beyond the finish line. Then Smith turned around and put his arms around Carlos in a gesture of consolation. Carlos, who also wore black socks, held second place going down the stretch, but Norman caught him at the tape for the silver medal. Larry Questad of Los Angeles finished sixth in 20.6. Carlos has a world record time of 19.7 pending, but it probably will be disallowed because he was wearing brush type shoes.

The International amateur Athletic Federation has refused to allow athletes to use the new shoes which have scores of tiny spikes. Biwott, who raised eyebrows by winning his steeplechase trial heat by an enormous margin, soared over the hurdles with abandon in the final and then outsprinted his countryman, Kogo, in the stretch to finish in 8 minutes, 51 seconds, remarkable for the high altitude. The 1-2 finish gave Kenya, the little African nation that suddenly has flowered into a major track power, two gold medals and two silvers at the Games. Neftali Temu got the Kenyans off the running with a victory in the 10,000 meters Monday. Biwott, Kogo, Young and Aussie Kerry O'Brien were only a stride apart coming to the final hurdle at the head of the stretch, with Kogo and the American veteran holding the edge.

But Biwott came charging past the pair to win by three meters. Kogo was clocked in 8:51.6 and Young, who will double in the Olympic marathon, finished in 8:51.8 to take the bronze medal. O'Brien was fourth and Gaston Roelants, the defending champ from Belgium, faded to seventh Season: 132-55 for .768.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS San Diego State retained the No. 1 spot in The Associated Press' small college football poll Wednesday after rolling to its fourth straight victory, but the Aztecs must be looking back at North Dakota State's fast-closing express.

North Dakota State, however continued to gain ground on the front-runners after crushing Augustana, S.C., 70-18.
