Close Competition--Kim Moore, left (this photo), watches closely to be certain of staying inside a tightly marked serpentine course Sunday at the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority's Roadeo. A bus, below, is timed with radar by a sheriff's deputy to ensure that it keeps moving at least 20 miles an hour while skirting a line of barrels without striking any. The Roadeo's winner, with 570 of a possible 750 points, was Steve Raymond, secretary of the AATA employees' union. He will represent AATA at the American Public Transit Association's national roadeo in Washington next October. The winner of last year's AATA Roadeo, Charles Buck, scored a close second Sunday with 562 points. AATA Director Richard J. Simonetta said the course, in Washtenaw Community College's parking area, was set up precisely by national standards and was more difficult this year.

GIRL AGAINST BOYS: As part of physical fitness week activities at Slauson Junior High School, Francea Kraker (right), a ninth grader, was pitted against two ninth grade boys, Bruce Hahn (left) and John Rood (center) yesterday in a 600-yard run. The boys out-ran Francea but she made a good showing. John won the race in 1:31.5. Francea's time was 1:39. Many pupils in the school watched the race and made bets on who would win, according to Mrs. Elizabeth Simmons, Francea's physical education teacher. Francea, who is an exceptionally fast runner for a girl, is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. R. F. Kraker of 517 E. Ann St.
