However, there are four other teams which must not be overlooked—Chi- point scoring and I give each a fight- ing chance. Towa, indoor champion, will be a strong contender. The indoor cham- Pionship is not a safe criterion as many events are omitted. On the other hand, defeats by Michigan‘ and Illinois in dual meets should not be ikely strongly. Michigan is I than many ex . few stars and expecting to pick up Points here and there. Illinois, last year’s outdoor cham- Pion, lacks scoring strength in the weights but I think we have our chance just the same. In a closely contested meet such as this is certain to be, all depends on how they “cut” in on you.

With good weat condi- tions, some new records should be es- tablished. Simpson of Ohio State in the sprints and Abbott of Illinois in the distance runs are expected to set some new marks.

But 10 years more at close to a 370 clip is asking a jugful of any per- former in this rapid-fire era, even for one of the taciturn Texan's acknowl- edged powers. Hornsby, ro matter how much longer he swings along the trail with + | the leaders, has a five-year mark that tops them all. The Rajah is the only batter in big league history who can look back over five seasons where he hit for better than an.average of .400. At the height of his career with the St. Louis Card- inals, from 1921 through 1925, Horns- averaged approximately .402, stringing together marks of .387, .401, 384, 424 and .403 as he outdistanced all clubbing opposition. The nearest Ty Cobb ever came to touching this spectacular pace was from 1910 to 1913, inclusive, when the Georgia Peach shot along at an aver- age clip of .401, but his best five-year mark, taking in his 1909 average of Fal npanriag to .396—six points be- La I. Burkett and Keeler, of the Old Guard, hitched together three con- secutive seasons for an average of bet- ter than .400. Ed Delehanty and Sisler came within two points of do- ing the same thing but the best of them all, ancient and modern, failed to strike a five-year stride to compare with Hornsby’s. !

Forty-six have entered, but only 33 may qualify. Seventeen years ago the first motor race was held-at the speedway. Once ® year since then the fame and for- tune that go to the winner have lured the racers. Single-Seated Finish ‘This race is the last for the single- seated machines. Next year the cars will be two-seaters and the motors have been powered with tiny engines of 91%-cubic-inch displacement. Duray is one of the véterans among youngsters. So is Cliff Durant, the millionaire driver. Of the younger school will be Louis Meyer, 1928 winner; Tony Gullotta, who had the race in the sack last year until his gas tank cracked; Lou’ Moore, and Peter DePaolo, the 1925 winner. Norman Batten, who thrilled the crowd two years ago when he brought his flaming machine to the pits, him- self seriously injured,- will be absent. &o will Earl De Vore. They went down with the steamer Vestris. But Batten’s czr will be in the race, his widow its manager. Three foreign drivers will give this year’s race an international aspect, and for the first time a woman pit manager will be employed.

Five national championships and two Olympic games’ places have been won by this youthful Los Angeles Athletic club diver since his supple form bounced off the springboard into world athletic fame last year.
