GOULD | Associated Press Sports Editor Philadelphia, April 28.—(?)—For the second time within a few days, athletic courage, ingenuity and perhaps fate have combined to pro- duce an outstanding American Olympic prospect.. t 2 jarely a week ago it was Joie Ray, the old miler, suddenly blos- goming forth at Boston as a mara- thon runner of the first class under difficulties and now picked by veteran coaches as a likely winner of the Olympic laurel wreath. Today the sensation is blond and youthful Harold Keith, sturdy uni- versity of Oklahoma foot-racer, who ran the first Steeplechase of his life on the opening day of the Penn- sylvania relay carnival on a few minutes notice and won it—all be- cause of a mistake. A little matter of five minutes Jost time converted Keith from the anchor runner on a medicy relay team to a Steeplechase victor in so spectacular a perfornyince that Lawson Robertson, Olympic head track and field coach, immediately placed his stamp of approval on the Oklahoman as an American candidate for 3000-meter Steeple- chase honors Scoreboard Was Wrong Keith and his team-mates came 1500 miles to take part in the dis- tance mediey relay against the pick of the east and middle western colleges. It was a cold, rainy day and the Oklahomans hugged the warmth of the clubhouse. A mis- take on the score-board misled them as to the time of their race. They came out to find ‘to their dismay that the distance medley already had been under way five minutes. Here was an athletic tragedy for these schoolboys. They looked at the Steeplechase course, with its flock of obstacles to hurdle, includ- ing a big water jump. No pink tea ty there but they were game. eith and two of his team-mates, Carson and Heeld, asked permission to enter this gruelling race and re- ceived it. Keith !ot Mel Dalton, little Seton Hall star, stay out in front most of the route over slippery turf, hurdles and that cold showerbath they called a water-jump, then galloped out in front on the final lap to win by fifty yards. Carson finished fourth and held fifth. Is Real Find Keith, in Lawson Robertson's opinion, is real Olympic “find.” le has a mile in 4:18 to his credit and has done five miles in around 24 minutes. Todi these Oklahomans were booked as added starters in another race, the four-mile relay, by special * dispensation. This race will be one of the closing features of the car- nival, along with the finish of the decathlon and the appearance of Charley Paddock, the famous Cali- fornia sprinter, in a special 175- yard record-breaking attempt. The first half of the decathlon yesterday, furnishing the first offi- cial Olympic test of around skill, with Tony Plansky, ex- Georgetown halfback, in front of 17 rivals with 3778.7105 points. His foremost rivals were Kenneth Doherty, of Detroit, in second place with 3762.501 points and Tom Churchill, another university of Okishoma star, in third position with 3611.235 points. “Whitey” rd, naval academy star, broke two decathlon records in the 100 “cl ego rues but stood qevent points. In the principal college relay aces yesterday, Penn state tied Pennsylvania for the quarter-mile and won the distance medley while New York uni jity’s crack quar- Net, anchored by Phil Edwards, romped off with the sprint medl crown and middle states one-mile hampionship.
