He‘ll do alright by himself.‘ "

Turns Down Pro Football

LAST JL'NE, Hayes thrilled the track and field world as he bisected to a yard dash in St, Louis in the time of 9.1. He had knocked .i sec0nd off Frank Budd's world record. Early in March of this year. this time indoors in New York. he sprinted 60 yards in 5.9 sounds for another world record. He ha. litsl only two races in the last year and .1 ha .

Relatively unknown In the world of track and field un- til his smashing success in St. Louis. Hayes is by trade a halfback. not a sprinter. He led A and M to an 8-2 foot- ball season last year. tucking the pigskin under his arm for 11 touchdowns. He has been drafted by both Denver Bron- co, and Dallas Cowboys but refuses to think about pro foot- ball because 1364 is Olympic year In Tokyo.

'Phc idea is in get Rob to act as inw'ian'tly as possible."

The visitors gave as good as they received for the better part of the game Tuesday and
