PAGE TEN THE BISMARCK TRIBUN: Capital City Track and Field Meet Entries Are Slowly Filtering In Many New Faces Appear on FIGHT BETWEEN BISMARCK AND . MANDAN LOOMS Bismarck Holds Slight Edge in Distance Runs While Mandan Is Dash Strong FIELD BATTLE CERTAIN Dark Horses From Slope Teams Will Hold Balance of Power Saturday By J. G. MacGREGOR With less than a week of practice left before the annual Capital City Track and Field meet will be held on Hughes Field Saturday, cinder and grass stars of Bismarck, Man- dan and the Slope country are tak- ing advantage of good weather to round into form, Entries for the meet were slowly filtering in today, Frank H. Brown, manager of the meet ,said. Hazel- ton, Carson, Coleharbor, Washburn and Garrison are sending teams and the entries of Mandan, Wilton, Lin- ton, Ashley, Steele, New Salem, Glen Ullin, Flasher, Hebron, Dick- inson, Underwood, and other Slope track centers are expected this week. Although the entry lists were originally scheduled to close on April 28, Mr. Brown said today that adverse weather which prevented the starting of track practice in many schools would be considered and that entries would be accepted up until Saturday. Since the first games were held in 1928, Bismarck has had a decided advantage over all rivals on the home field. Yet each year has been marked by a slight shaving off of the victorious margin held by the Demons. Face Severe Test Without a doubt, Bismarck faces its severest test on the coming Sat- urday for it is rumored that many strong individual athletes will come to the Capital City firmly confident of wresting away the crown long held by Bismarck. _ Mandan will be Bismarck’s strong- est rival as far as can be determined this early in the week. At the an- nual interclass track and field meet in Mandan Friday, numerous events were won by Brave aces in better time than was shown in the same events in the Bismarck High inter- class games. Both the 100 and 220-yard dashes and the 120-yard high and 220-yard low hurdles loom as closely contest- events. McKendry, who flashed yoss the Mandan track heavens in century and furlong outdistance Sell. McKen- equally proficient in the Bismarck has a decided edge in the 440, 880 and one-mile runs. Green, the sensational Indian young- ster who ran the legs off of three Bismarck veterans last week, Ernie Benser, crack half-miler ,and York, elongated star of the mile, will be hard to beat. Other Battles Expected The discus, javelin and shot put will be closely contested. Meinhover has an edge in the discus while Heidt and Helbling of Mandan are strong in tossing the shaft and heav- ing the shot. Borresen and Williams of Mandan seem bent on taking the pole vault and high jump but will have to pro- duce real championship form to beat out Ben Jacobson and Ed Spriggs. Stiff competition will be offered the favored Bismarck and Mandan teams. Ashley is always certain of roducing stars in the field events. Vashburn, Garrison and Wi!ton have sent superlative dash men in the past while other Slope teams have produced individual winners. The balance of power in Satur- day’s meet seemingly lies in the abil- ity of Bismarck or Mandan to ward off the onslaughts of the dark horses who are bound to take points away from both of the favorites in favor- ite events.

Beyond 45 the Atlanta wizard has no plans. Re- minded that Harry Vardon at 50 was good come from numer- ous British Tri- umphs to be run- ner-up in the events here, he modestly _ replied “But I'm not Var- don.” Bobby's own hope that he will be able to qualify for some of the big championships when he is 40, seems to his friends to be entirely too great a conces- enough to New York tonght.

Editor's Note: This is the final of six articles in which Roland enzie, one of America’s leading golfers and a member of the Walker Cup team in 1926, talks about golf and what he thinks of it in an interview with Henrv L. Far- rell. This is the first time that Mackenzie has ever been inter- viewe. to this extent on his favorite game. ny BY HENRY L. FARRELL Washington, April 30.—In these days when you hear fighters talk- ing of knocking the block off the champion, baseball players boasting of their averages and runners threatening a watch, it is pleasant to hear a real good young athlete speak conservatively of himself. After concluding a very pleasant interview with Roland Mackenzie and wishing him success during the approaching season, the writer ask- ed him—‘“Hasn’t Bobby Jones been beaten before? And young Mackenzie came back with a quick—“How many times?” He went on to add that there wasn’t a law against trying but that any golfer who thought too much of beating Bobby was lost. Murdering ; par with no thought of the man go- ing around with you is the only method. Gunn Scared Him Mackenzie is becomingly modest.) He isn’t timid but he admits once; that he was timid. He was scared to death, he admitted, when he went out with Watts Gunn for the final round of the intercollegiate cham- pionship last year. “Watts and I always have been the best of friends and I am sure we always will be,” Mackenzie said. “We have palled around a lot and last year at the intercollegiates w were staying in the same house. Wi even occupied rooms across the hall from each other and, knowing that} we had to fight it out for the cham-j pionship, it made us nervous. “I was scared to death of Watts and I rather think he was afraid of me and we were under a heavy nerv- ous and mental strain when we went out for the final round. We started out at a fast pace and hufved the! first four holes in par. We halved! the fifth in birdies and at that point| we knew that one of us was due to ‘atts didn’t crack.

Like the vast majority of other golfers, Mackenzie pays tribute to Bobby Jones as the superb and the perfect artist. He rates Joncs and George Duncan as the perfect sty- lists, but he leans to Bobby as the only one from whom every g-lfer can learn something of everything. He suggests that there is orly one way to tell anyone how ta be- come a perfect golfer and 2 great champion and it is the easiest way because volumes and a complete course can be given in these words —‘play like Bobby plays.” BILLY PETROLLE SAVES EYESIGHT Omaha Specialists Promise Fargo Express Will Be Saved From Blindness Omaha, Neb. April 30.---Billy Petrolle, staunch son of battle that he is, will not lost the sight of his ant eye, Omaha specialists prom- ed, It was first feared that the sight might be lost but an x-ray exam- ination has disclosed that if given proper attention, and Jack Hurley ill see that his boy docs get the right attention, the sight cam be saved, Injury Unusual Dr. Louis 3. Bushman, ~Omaha specialist, said it was one of the most peculiar cases he had ever dealt with, and due largely to the merciful act of Hurley, in keeping Petrolle out of the last few rounds, the sight could be saved. According to Dr. Bushman, an airpocket formed immediately after that fifth round, in which Tommy Grogan had pounded the eye shut, forcing air into the mucus mem- entirely around in its. socket. The sensation would be akain to shoving a red hot poker into the eye (and still Bill protested and fought off his handlers Friday night endeavor- ing to et back in the ring with Tommy).

Bobby Grows Better Ty is now playing his 24th year of major league baseball at slightly more than 40. When Robert Tyre Jones is 40 he will have played major league golf for 26 years, The Bobby of today is better than was the Bobby of five years ago when he won his first championship. George Duncan, the fast moving Beot, pre- dicted in 1922 that Jones at 30 would be a better golfer than he was ut 20. With four years to go, “Rubbertire” as the pros call him apparently is about to show that Duncan’s forecasts are as good as his advice to putters to “hit the ball and knock it in the hole.” Bobby at the moment is much heavier than he will be when he steps on the first tee at Olympia fields to make ancther bid for the National cpen championship. “I put it on in the winter and golf it off in the summer,” he explained. “Not all of it fades away from the walking either. The nervous energy expended in serious competition burns a let of flesh away.” In this Bobby finds himself in agree- ment with Frank Frisch, the form- er Fordham and Giant star, now do- ing his flashing for St. Louis. Frisch was happy when he was able to start the current season over- weight when most of his fellows were trying to get the pounds of..
