Olympic Champs Marry in Prague PRAGUE, — (A 5 ) — The Olympic champion Harold Connolly faced up to excommunication by the Ro man Catholic Church and married his Protestant sweetheart, Olga Fikotova, in three ceremonies that blocked traffic in ancient Prague Wednesday. The East-West romance which budded in the 1956 Olympic games at Melbourne led them through ci vil, Catholic and Protestant mar riage ceremones before sympa thetic throngs in this capital of Communist Czechoslovakia. Connolly said “yes” and Olga said “ano yes” and the Iron Cur tain barriers which had so long loomed threateningly were, for them, set aside. However, religious complications were still ahead in the union of the handsome, 26- year-old Boston hammer-throw king and the pretty, brown-eyed Czech girl, 24, gold medal winner as a discus thrower. Catholic authorities said their church law provided automatic ex- communication for Connolly be cause he exchanged vows with Olga in her own church after she had knelt with him before the can dle-lit altar of the 13th century Tyn church in the Roman Catholic marriage ritual. But blessings came from other quarters and the bridal couple beamed. There were smiles, kisses and tears and Olga, in a white lace gown and matching wide-brimmed lace hat, was radiant. After a two-week honeymoon in Czechoslovakia, the two plan to leave April 10 on a trip through Western Europe, , on which Con nolly will give exhibitions, before heading to Boston. Olga, a medi cal student, still awaits a U. S. visa. Registrar Thomas Pumper made them man and wife in a civil cere mony that packed more than 1,000 persons in and around Prague’s medieval Town Hall. He told them the Czechoslovak legal code established “equal rights and equal duties” for partners in marriage. The Aggies, with the weatherman forecasting inclement weather, journey to Waco Friday for an 8 p.m. engagement with Baylor’s heavy hitting Bears in Katy Park. The two teams clash again Saturday at 2 p.m. in Baylor P Captain Dick Munday and Lefty Toby Newton are sched uled to start the games, not necessarily in that order, with Donnie Hullum, Paul Lang and Bo Paradowski held in relief. The Aggie nine has only one win in five games but is experiencing the best year at the plate since 1955, with a team batting average of .245. A&M losses can be laid to defensive lapses with only 18 runs of 28 scored by the oppo sition being earned. Gary Herrington is the leading Aggie batsman, with six hits in 17 trips and a fine .353 average. He is followed by Wendell Reed who has rapped out five hits in 15 at bats, includ ing two doubles, for a .333 average. Other batters in the .300 circle are Cliff Tuttle and Doug Mullins, batting .316 and .313 respectively. Leading pitcher is Hullum, who with 16 innings to his credit, has yet to register in the won-lost col umn. He has posted a 1.68 earned run average, given up five hits, three runs and struck out eight. Newton, the hai’d-luck victim of A&M fielders, is the only mounds- man to post a win. Newton has twirled 13 innings, yielding 13 runs, five of them earned. He has struck out 12 and has an ERA of 3.25. Munday is 0-1, pitching 6% in nings and giving up six runs, four earned, and striking out two. The infield is to be made up of Wayne Schaper at first, Mullins at second, Lupe Fraga at short and Reed at third. Schaper is the 6-6 pitcher who has looked good at the initial sack. The outfield against a Baylor righthander will have Behn Hub bard in left, Tuttle in center and Smotherman in right. Against a southpaw, Dickie Thomas will be in center, with Tuttle in left.
