His speed is useful during football season to plug.in. on the gridivon for broadcasting at the point of play. ‘ By BRIAN BELL LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31.—If Dio- genes should trade his lantern for a stop watch and invade the cam- pus of the University. of Souther California in search of the faste Frank Wy- ¥ koff without recognizi the lad who did 100 yards in 9 2-5 seconds, | officially. One would not pick “Frankie,” as his mates call him, out of a crowd, for there is nothing abx him to suggest that he can run with anyone in the world. Twenty years of age, eight and one-half inches over five feet, and weighing 160 pounds, Wykoff gives an impression that he would be a bear at the junior prom or in the University Drama club. Under a head of curly, blond hair he shows a glorious smile, on and off the track. There is noj “fighting ce” on display when Wykoff runs. He likes it. “Of course, running is fun when you get fast enough” said the| Glendale boy. “I hope to do well the rest of the year, I mean next y g will| cause me no trouble.” The possible leg trouble was a reference to a kick of fall, resulting in a fracture. ‘Wykoff is majoring in physical education and is a good student. He has been running seri uu~]\ gince 1926 when he was in is second year at Glendale mz! school. He broke into the big h(’ad lines for the first time in the Southwestern Track and Field try- outs June 16, 192 ed Charley Paddock in the 100 and 200 meters. In July he ran in the Senfor National Cambridge and won the 100 meters, ing the Olympic record. red leg a few days later slowed him up and he failed to reach his best condition for the Olympic games. Wykoff uses his advantage on the football field although he does not play. Univer- sity of Southern California has a telephone system connecting the football field with the score board, announcer and press box and it is Frankie’s job to plug in the con- nection at a number of strategical- ly placed posts. His speed stands him in good stead on punts and long forward passes as he must have the line plugged in when the announcer is ready to tell the crowd what has happened.
