F-2 ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL Friday, May 29, 1970 Grandfather Art Pollard Confident About 500 Spurs Spank 4-1 City, put in 28th starting Hogans and the Sneads in golf, from Kansas Who can still hit a ball out of; the other car INDIANAPOLIS UR Art Pollard, a 43-year-old late-comer to big time auto racing, said Thursday he expects to become sight, but fall off in their putting. They may not have lost the ARLINGTON, Tex. Greg loss on the undefeated right- desire but they certainly are no Arnold tossed a six-hitter and Zander. i the first grandfather to win the longer competitive with the the Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs! iora B0WUlsKl wo iook over young lions of their sport. "I haven't reached that point yet; in fact, I feel I'm just reaching my prime.

Marking time in his garage 48 hours before the start of the race, Pollard said: "Most other athletes lose their desire to compete, to win, after they reach 40. There are the desire now than when I got into a race car the first time in 1955, when the Hogans and the Sneads were at the top. downed Albuquerque 4-1 Thursday night.

Arnold, who ran his record to 4-2, walked three and fanned six and had trouble in only one inning, the seventh, when the Dodgers combined Ferguson's leadoff double, a single by Tim Johnson and Guy Rose's pinch sacrifice fly for their only run. The Spurs, who three times have proved troublesome for Jim Flynn, chased him again but once more failed to pin the "And for goodness sakes, there is a heck of a lot of dif ference in driving a race car Jaros, Steffes and hitting a golf ball." actruui, was lageu for six hits and the Spurs' last three runs. Ron Shelton and Enzio Hernandez both singled to start the winning rally. Steve Green forced Shelton but Petie Watts beat out a hit off Sowinski's glove to load the bases and Scott McDonald singled home two runs. Watts, who went to third on the hit, scored on Chris Carnegie's sacrifice fly to right.

It was announced that Albuquerque pitcher Doyle Alexander, who will pitch in tonight's game, has been called up to Spokane of the AAA Pacific Coast League. Alexander, with a 4-3 record and 3.16 earned run average, will leave for the Los Angeles The former modified stock car champion from Medford, Vie on Coast is unlike most of the 33 starters position at 166.121 m.p.h. The third machine, powered like the others by a turbocharged Of-fenhauser engine, was held in reserve. Pollard, who is making only his third start at Indy, figures there are 10 drivers that rate about an equal chance of winning. In addition to himself, he lists front-row starters Al Unser, A.

J. Foyt, and Johnny Rutherford; his own second-row mates, Roger McCluskey and Mark Donohue; 1968 winner Bobby Unser and 1969 champion Mario Andretti; Lloyd Ruby, who starts in 25th position, and Jack Brabham, who starts in 26th place. "I expect all of them to charge from the flag, and to protect my own position I'm going to be forced to charge with them," Pollard said. Pollard's chief claim to fame, aside from winning two championship events last year, was in 1968, when he drove one of Andy Granatelli's Turbine cars in the Indianapolis 500. He had the car In sixth place when a broken fuel pump put him out on the 189th lap.

But as for Saturday's race, Pollard Baid he figures his chances are better than most, in the 54th Indianapolis 500 lineup: aside from his age, he is part owner of the firm that pays the bill for his racing operation. Pollard's cars are sponsored by a firm that franchises car wash systems bearing his name. "Our operation on USCA's PCL affiliate Saturday. He leads championship trail this year will cost about $400,000," Pollard Albuquerque in strikeouts with 59. He has walked 22 batters in 69 2-3 innings.

said. "So we'd have to win two races the size of Indianapolis just to pay the bills."

(UPI Telephoto) Ervin Jaros, who last week bested his own school record in the discus, and triple jumper Chuck Steffes will be New Mexico's entries in the Kennedy Games at Berkeley, Saturday.

Jaros threw 188-5 at Modesto last week to add almost three feet to the school mark of 185-9 which he had established on the same track two years ago. The Lobo senior was the No. 2 collegian in this year's Modesto discus, but in spite of his school record performance, he failed to make the finals. Steffes, who has a best jump 52-04 this year, went 50-8 at Modesto last week. Coach Hugh Hackctt said three-rniler Chuck Steffes will join Jaros and Steffes at the NCAA championships June 18-20 at Des Moines, Iowa.

Woods, a 215 pound defensive end, was being sought by most of the area colleges, including New Mexico which appeared to have the inside track until Thursday's announcement. Woods said, "No, there is no particular reason why I chose Oklahoma other than I think I'll like it there. I visited there twice and was impressed with the school as well as the coaches." The all-stater, who finished fifth in the state in the shot, said he would not compete in track in college. His best toss this year was 53-7. Woods, who will play in the North-South All-Star football game in August, said he would stay in the city this summer and "probably work in construction and parttime at the Rio Grande swimming pool."
