They are entered in C. C. Pyle’s second annual transcontinental foot race. ‘There are so many young men from other lands, in fact, that the foreign {menace in this case exceeds that of the boxing business which has been menaced by foreign menaces since $50 seats for championship fights became a reality. The foreign brigade, containing runners from 14 nations, shoves off with the home boys Sunday, March 31, bound from New York to Los An- geles with 80 days to reach its desti- nation. Same As Last Year The race will be about the same as the 1928 trot. The only difference is that the competitors will face the sun in the afternoon instead of the morn- ing and will pay a $300 entrance fee and all expenses en route. Last year they were out nothing but the effort, since Pyle paid everything—and lost big money. = Starters will approximate 125, said the derby impresario. One hundred uinety-nine entered the 1928 fiasco. Pre-race favorites are John Salo, Passaic, N. policeman who fini ed second in 1928, and Peter Gavuzzi, a last year's favorite who failed to finish. Gavuzsi was leading by 20 hours when he was incapacitated by an ulcerated tooth and had to drop out “somewhere in Ohio.” Andy Payne Leads At the head of the expedition will ride Andy Payne, winner of the first bunion derby, Andy is the Oklahoma farm boy whose payment of the fam- ily farm mortgagee was given more notice than the signing of the Kellogg pact to outlaw war. He replaces Red Grange, Pyle's aide-de-camp. The purse of $25,000 which went to Payne will be duplicated this year and where a total of $48,500 went to the first ten to finsh in 1928, $60,000 will be awarded the first fiftsen this year. Second place again will be worth $10,000. Other purses will range from $6,000 for third place to $700 for fifteenth place. © Among the cities on the route are: Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wheeling, W.

By ALAN J. GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) At Paris in 1924, several agile youths of Gallic blood figured con- spicuously, although not with ulti- mate success, in the Olympic tennis tournament. A Parisian friend said to me: “Watch these fellows. They may not look so very good now. They have a tendency to fold up in a five- set match. But all they need is ex- perience and more confidence. They will win the Davis cup before many years have elapsed.” Their names were Lacoste, Cochet and Borotra. Most anyone can tell you what they have done in the ten- nis- world. The titles they haven't \Won are not worth boldface type. Of Germany, about the same time, it was also sai “Watch the development of ath- letics there within the next few years. You will hear from them in the next Olympics and in other branches of competition. They have the material, the method and the urge.” Germany not only cut a big figure in her return to Olympic competition at Amsterdam, but has produced a number of world's record-breakers and an outstanding candidate for the heavyweight championship in Herr Max Schmeling. se % The prophetic features of this story, however, are not so vital in cataloging the progress of sports as that they are notable factors in the growing challenge to American ath- ietic supremacy. It looked like a set-up for your Uncle around and about Hutchison and Hagen lifted the British Open golf crown, starting the big rout on the links. Tilden and Johnson were still supreme on the NG %e TRAIL 1923-1924. | but the, came nevertheless. The polo Firpo, Wilde, Criqui and other boxers left these shores better off financially than ever before but as beaten men, though. The old brawn and sinew was in good working order. But things have now taken a turn. And perhaps they aren't turning. France now dominates the tennis world. Finland's distance run- ners have cleaned up consistently and that most prized of all Uncle Sam's crowns, the sprint title, rests on the curly thatch of Canada’s young Mr. Percy Williams. Schmeling and the burly Spaniard, Paulino, represent a double-barreled threat for what is Picturesquely called the “battle for the sricecbitan'* So It should not be gathered from this that the situation is altogether bad or that any change will be for the worse. Golf laurels in any interna- tional conflict are fairly safe as long as one R. T. Jones, jr., is available. Or Walter Hagen, the present holder of the British Open crown. Yankee eight-oared crews haven't been beaten abroad in any Olympic since the war. Helen Willis has lost only one set and not a single match on any European court in two years. The competition on the whole, however, is keener now than ever be- fore. And closer. The set-ups in any field are fewer. Instead of sallying forth with a big mental or physical edge, Uncle Sam now can expect a give-and-take-tussle, whether it is on the links, the cinder-path, the polo field or in the ring.

Kasal and J. Mitchell, by scoring 1,353. Butler, in addition,' went into the lead in the all-events division with a total of 1,936. Two Chicagoans entered the select circle in the singles, R. Willoughby taking fourth with 693 and Nick But- ler eighth with 684. Baby Nodaks Are Given Cage Honors, Grand. Forks, N. D., March 29.— Ten freshman athletes at the Uni- versity of North Dakota were award- ed basketball numerals this week by the Athletic Board of Control it was announced today by Paul Boyd, Boulder, Colo., chairman. The men to receive them are: Glen Secord, Vern DuChene, Lloyd Nelson, and John Neville, all of Grand Forks; Fred Wilde, Egeland; William Lowe, Fall Creek, Wisc.; Harold Storheim, Aberdeen, S. Dak.; Manuel Wexler, Watertown, S. Dak.; and Lloyd Rich- mond, also of Watertown. Only three of these candidates fatl- ed to win their awards in football, and athletic coaches at the university are jubilant over the ability the yearlings have displayed in their short duration at the school. Most of these men, according to Coach Clem Letich, will have an op- Portunity for varsity play next sea- son. The Nodak team this year will lose Boyd, Eberly, Lee, Letich. Kinn, and Solberg, all of whom have been regulars at one time or another in the past four years. Consequently, Letich is much con- cerned over the work which the fresh- men will be called upon to deliver next season. And because of that he will drill the yearlings very closely next season. The squad won five of its six con- tests this year, dropping one game to the Agricultural college aggregation. Pete Gergen Leads Next Bison Cagers , Fargo, N. D., March 29.—Pete Ger- gen, Fargo, one-time Grafton high School star, was named captain of the 1929-30 basketball quint of the North Dakota Agricultural college. Letter- winners on last season's net quint made the selection. Pete is a junior and has made two varsity letters in basketball and two in football.
