G. VOSBURGH (Feature Service Sports Editor; NEW YORK, Jan. 23—Ameri- ca's efforts to ,retain the track and field supremacy of the world | in the Olympics next summer de-| spite the Nurmis, Wideg and Pelt- zers of Europe have begun to the| tune of Lloyd Hahn's pounding| feet. i This sturdy Nebraska middle| distance star who runs under the | colors of the Boston A.

Trained Carefully After his spectacular perfor: ances of last winter, Hahn retir ed to his Nebraska home to awa:t the coming of the present indoor | season.

If Hahn can beat off the young- er generation of American chal- lengers and regain his Olympic berth, he hopes to do consider- ably better in the games at Am- sterdam than he did at Paris 1924. In the 1,500 meter event there which Nurmi won Hahn could finish no better than sixth. Nurmi then was at the top of his career, winning four first places. l doors. In 1925 he surpassed Nur- mi's indoor record for a mile in a¢ race in New York, set a world’s record of 3:554-5 for 1,500 meters indoors at Washington; and clip- ped 25 of a second off Nurmi's mark for the three-quarter mile run.

Should Hahn come up to expac- tations outdoors, there is a strong possibility he might be given double duty in the 800 and 1500 meter events with the probable task of beating Peltzer in the one and Nurmi in the other. The.e events have been a (favorite double-up in Olympic history.

M., Jan. 23— An antique flint lock rifle, left leaning against a stone in the Ca- billo mountains by an absant minded frontiersman, has been found by cattlemen during the an- nual roundup in the mountains. The gun was found standing against a rock where it had evi- dently been since its ploneer own- er walked away nearly a century ago. The maker's name is stamped on the lock, and inquiries have revealed that the gun was made in about 1810. It is surmised that the gun came into New Mexiro over the Santa Fe trail in the late twenties, about the time the Santa Fe trade was opened, or it may have beldnged to trappers who came into the mountain ter- ritory under the Patties in 1824 and with Ceran St. Vrain in 1826 to catch beaver on the Rio Grand: the Gila and the Colorado rivers. —_——eeo—— CAGE TEAM OF BROTHERS GENESEO, Ill, Jan. 23—A bas- ketball team composed of five brothers is in great hibition meets.
