GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) New York, April 17—(@)—Charley Paddock will attempt this year to accomplish a feat only one other athlete has ever achieved—win the classic Olympic 100-meter dash for the second time. More than a score of years ago Archie Hahn, crack American tprinter and no relation to the resent distance running Lloyd Fann, registered a dual triumph but only two years separated his victories at St. Louis in 1904 and Athens in 1906, I¢ was eight years ago that Pad- dock leaped into the tape first at Antwerp, a foot ahead of his fel- low Californian, Morris Kirksey. Four years later the stocky blond flier ran no better than fifth in the 100 meters at Paris but he came within an eyelash of beating Jack- son Scholz for the 200-meter cham- pionship in a hair raising duel on the Colombes track, |. Now Paddock is getting in trim for his third Olympic venture, along with his old rival Scholz. The life of most sprint aces is short but age has dealt kindly with these two ‘veterans, both counted upon heavily in plans designed to bring back to the United States the 100-meter laurels that now belong to Eng- Abrahams Shocked Yanks Sprinting supremacy is one of the Uncle Sam has cherished most when it comes to Olympic competition. It was a shock, there- fore, to Yankee pride when the rangy Harold Abrahams, Cambridge University star, galloped in ahead of Scholz, Bowman, Paddock, and Murchison at Paris four years ago. Now out of competition, Abra- hams will be at Amsterdam only in the role of “non-playing” captain of the British track team but Amer- ica will do well to be prepared for some unexpected threat.
