< BRINGING UP FATHER WELL HERES ANOTwi DAY FTARTED An) NOT - CHANUCE Ya&T TO SEE LAND.LET ALONE - VESUS: | (TTIN' AZHORE | [{ 205 1 4 AL OO0 MORNING SR NS, CARTAIN - To BE FRANK 1 DIO NOT DLEEP VERY HOPE WELL- There has beei: ggme inclination, cven at this early date, to concede the American League pennant to the Athletics—perhaps also the world's series again—but it has not yet been proved to the satisfaction | of a lot of old-timers that the A’s are a “great” team. For instance Harry Davis, who was the prede- cessor of Stuffy McInnis at fi base cn Connie Mack’s famous old machine and who is around the paiks enough to know something it the current situation. “The A’s are a good team; I'll ad- mit that much,” said Harry, rapid- ly shifting a cigar from one side to the other. “But they still have to show me something. For one thing they don't play such smart baseball, except for Mickey Coch- rane. There is a catcher. If you ask me, I say he knows more than all the rest of the club put to- gcther, outside of Connie, of course, and Eddie Collins. There’s the brains of the team. 1 “Al Simmons is the best all- around hitter on the team; one of the best in the game. Foxx hits 'em far but not so often. Haas is still young but improving. Miller and Dykes are getting old. You can't compare the infield of today with that of Mack’s old team.” { Davis did not say so, but he gave the very strong impression that he would not trade Coombs, Plank and Bender for Grove, Wal- berg and Earnshaw today, tomorrow or any time. . .. And he may be right. One pennant does not make a super team, any more\than a few hits in the spring make }or a batting champion. Jack Moakley, Cornell’s grand old veteran of track and field, will be just as well satisfied if Southern California romps through this year to beat Stanford for the Intercol- legiate A. A. A. championship at Cambridge this month. It isn't that! Jack is anxious to concede the Pacific Coast arrays anything par- ticular in advance or that he has any partiality on the subject. But Boakley’s Cornell teams have four legs on the outstanding I. C. A. A. A. A. trophy. They need one more to take permanent possession of it. Big Red track fortunes are dis- tinctly on the upgrade and the longer the circulation of the title cup the better are Cornell’s chances to stage a come-back and gain the necessary fifth leg. California and Stanford each have three legs on the present cup, Southern California two. Thus if U. S. C. wins this spring, as many rxperts expect, the Far Western Bchools all will boast a trio of champions. One or the other may go on from there to make it five but it is about time for the pendu- Jum to start swinging Eastward again. And about time for Cor- nell to produce a Big Red team with the potentialities of Moakley's famous old championship squads. Moakley, at 66, is still one of the most active and enthusiastic fig- ures in college track and field| sports. His 30 years at Ithaca have | been studded with the development of some of the greatest athletes and finest teams in college history. The world war broke up a team that Jack considered the greatest he ever coached, an unbeatable array. Foss, Jones, Berna, Rich- ards, Caldwell, Dresser, and Russell | have been just a few of the better known Moakley-coached products. Who have been the greatest ath- letic performers at the five classic distances from 100 yards to one; mile? This question was debated with considerable fury during the chin- fests incident to the Penn Relay| THEN- You MUST HAVE BEEN) ANNOYED B8Y THE NOISE AT FOULR THIS MORNING © 1930, Int’l Feature Service, Inc., Gi ¢ Britain rights re o BT e S LR NGTE ON THE WATER THIS YEAR Associated Press Photo These huskies will uphold Harvard’s honors on the water this season. They are, left to right: Mansfield, stroke; Captain Dickey, No. 7; Webster, No. 6; Johnson, No. 5; Hallowedl, No. 4; Erick- tor, No. 3; Swaim, No. 2; Page, bow and Stebbins (in front) coxswain. port of the final consensus shows this line-up.- of super-talent. 100 yards—Arthur Duffey of Bos- ton. 20 yards—Charles Los Angeles. 440 yards—James E. (Ted) Mere- dith of Philadelphia. 880 yards—Douglas.G. A. Lowe of London, England. One Mile—Paavo Nurmi of Abo, Finland. The selection of this “Big Five” does not settle the argument; neith- er is it official, but the all-around weight of evidence over a testing period of time is strongly in its favor. There have been and still are a flock of great sprinters, whirlwinds like Drew, Cralg, Scholtz, Locke, Borah and, now—Leland, Simpson, Wykoff. Duffey, although his name and records were wiped from the A. A. U. record books because he professionalized himself after record breaking career, was the first sprinter to run an authentic 9.6 seconds for the 100. Paddock of a Paddock, long a sborm center, nevertheless possesses an unparal- leled record for sprinting consis- tency. The erstwhile California Comet shared with Jackson Scholz the distinction of racing in three Olympic meets. You will find Paddock’s name mentioned in the book of world’s records as often as all other sprinters combined. He was officially registered six times for the 100 in 9 3-5 seconds and he held the 220-yard record until Roland Locke of Nebraska knocked it off in 1926. Locke was a bril- liant performer but his career was much shorter and less consistent than Paddock’s. Nor can young- sters like Simpson and Leland great as they now appear, be ranked ahead of veteran interna- tionalists such as Paddock without the test of additional time and competition. Meredith takes the quarter-mile post by just about the unanimous vote of the assembled clans. His world record of 47 2-5 seconds still stands. The one-time University of Penn- sylvania flier, 1.ow an assistant track coach at his alma mater, might also do as a nomination for the half mile, but he would prefer himself that this post go to the smcoth-striding Briton, Douglas Lowe, two-time Olympic champion at 800 meters. On a blazing, hot August day in 1928 at Stanford Bridge, T saw Lowe in his second race of the afternoon run a relay half mile in 1 minute and 51 seconds. Of all the great American milers John Paul Jones probably was the one most comparable with Nurmi Jones ended his racing career with the close of his college days at Cor- nell. He made no business of his running but after all there has been only one Paavo. The great Finn belongs in any all-time run- ning company. Nurmi's ability at the mile never was fully tested. He Carnival and this department’s re-‘ran few races at the distance and though he holds the world mark of 4:10.4 the probability is he could have done 4:06 at his peak in 1924- 25.
