EMPORIA, was, Oct. 28—When Jack Lovelock loped to a new world record in the Olympic 1,500-meter race at Berlin, he didn’t realize he was paving the way for his own defeat in the mile race at Prince- ton October 3. Among the athletes who ate the New Zealander's dust in Berlin was Archie San Romani, a slim, dark- eyed, 24-year-old student of music at Emporia Teachers College. Studying Lovelock's style, San Romani noticed the close approach to complete relaxation. He pirated the idea and turned the tables on his Olympic conquerors when they met at Princeton. Advised by Cunningham Besides the relaxing business, the Emporia runner, who has been something of a shadow to Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke and other better knows, also analyzed the Olympic champion’s pace as he barged to the tape in fourth place at Berlin Cunningham, with whom San Ro- mani bunked in the Olympic Vil- DAILY SPORTS CARTOON- i Rival at Olympic Games | - ByPap HE LATEST SoUTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CARRIES € ABIG SCAR —4 MEMENTD OF HIS FIRST PRO HE KNOCKED AlL COMEBACK NOTIONS OUT OF Luis ANGEL FIRRPO'S HEAD LAST SUMMER. ~WE OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL TO HIM lage, told him Lovelock could sprint | better than any middle-distancer for 250 yards or so—but after that he was through. Censequently, San Romani plan- ned to sprint the last 500 yards at Princeton, in which Cunningham also ran (pun intended). Cunning-| ham advised his fellow Kansan not to pay any attention to him, Cunningham. “I'm not shape,” Glenn advised his pro!cge‘ and companion. “The thing for you to do is watch Lovelock.” H San Romani, therefore, passed Cunningham and hung on Love-| lock’s heels until the final 500 yards. Whipping into his sprint, he discovered Cunningham’s tip wa.sl straight; that Lovelock had to} give up his “kick” and settle back into stride before the tape was reached. | Timed at 4:09 flat, San Romani ran cne of the fastest miles of all time that day. He hopes to knock over Cunningham's 4.06.7! world record for the mile made on the same Princeton track. Out for 1940 Games “I really believe I can do better,” he says. “Cunningham has given me fine advice, I learned a lot| from that Olympic race, and I be- lieve that studying Lovelock's style has done me some good. Lovelock and I are about the same build and height, so I have tried to adapt my style to his.” The new mile sensation, who was not regarded as a serious threat until the Olympic trials despite the fact he was 1935 national col- legiate mile champion, plans to keep in shape until next February when he will open his campaign to beat the mile record indoors. He'll run considerably through- out next season, then rest. Two years before the 1940 Olympics in Japan, Archie will start condition- ing again. “Id like to win the Olympic 1,500-meter race before retiring,” he 5ays.

Attention, LLOYD RUSSELL SPORT SLANTS Now that Joe Louis has fairly well exhausted the crop of available Americam heavyweights, his ring- | wise managers are reaching out to | foreign lands to find opponents for | the Bomber. Foreign fighters are 50 much easier to build up—in most |cases the American public knows little about these imporiations oth- er than what a wily manager checos- es to tell. The international angle always adds color to a big fight. Jorge Brescia, the young Argen- tine, is not completely out of the picture despite the fact that Louis stopped him in less than three jrounds. The Argentine looked very good until he made the fatal mis- take of dropping his hands when | coming out of a clinch. That gave Louis a perfect opening and he shot over a crushing left hook to end the evening’s festivities. Up to that point Brescia showed plenty of | courage and boxing ability as wc]l' las a good, straight punch. Al I'he lacked was experience. Brought along properly, Brescia is likely to |be heard from agdin before the next outdoor season rolls around Another South American, Arturo Godoy, labeled the champion heavy- weight of the southern continent, is bidding for gold and glory in American rings. Just how good he !really is only time and a couple of bouts with some of our second-flight | heavies will tell. Godoy Finishes Firpo Godoy's record shows several vic- tories over fighters known in this country. The crowning achieve- ment to his’career so far was his victory over Luis Angel Firpo in — !three rounds in the latter’s home town of Buenos Aires. Godoy soon knocked any notions that Firpo may have had about a comeback sky high—he spared us another visit by meeting any heavyweight who is looking for a fight. “I want the American fight pub- lic to decide whether or not I be- long with your top-potchers,” is his explanation. “I'll do my part to the best of my ability and when they say I am ready for your best men I'll be ready for them.” Which is quite a different attitude from that generally assumed by invading scrappers. It's a note in the char- acter of this youngster--a note that likely will bring him great popular- ity. Foe Leads With Bicuspids Godoy 1s a fine looking specimen of manhood. He is short of six feet, but weighs more than 200 pounds, and there isn't an ounce of super- fluous flesh on him. He appears a veritable man of iron. In his 50 fights he has never been on the floor. He has one mark to identify him as a fighter. One mark—and it came to him in his first profes- sinal fight in June, 1932. It's one he will carry to his grave—a seared looking blotch on the muscle of his right arm. It came when Pantaleon Musso- |lino met him in Havana. Arturo was going along nicely—which in- furiated his foe to such an extent that he forgot his boxing manners. In a clinch Mussolino sank his teeth !into Arturo’s biceps and tore the muscles as sharply as though a greyhound had inflicted the wound. A near riot followed. Arturo turn- ied loose his guns and knocked out | Mussolino with the next punch. The police were called to quell the dis- turbance which followed, and all ‘h.lnds landed in the custody of the |gendarmes.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 28.—Joe Di Muggio, the world champion New York Yankees' sensational freshman sutfielder, admits he can be pitch- ed to. The young fly-chaser, pausing 1ere enroute to his California home, said: “Rogers Hornsby, manager of the 3rowns, says I can be pitched to. Il tell you—it’s a ball on the out- side corner, knee high, a fast curve that breaks outside the plate. Then I'm going for bad balls.” Di Maggio' expects, however, to overcome this ‘“weakness” at the plate by having some one pitch fast curves low on the outsidé to him this winter until he learns to hit them or let them go by. Joe thinks Mel Harder of Cleve- land is as tough a pitcher as there is in the American League. He also likes Bob Feller, Cleveland's vookie strikeout artist HAS YEARN FOR MAJOR LEAGUES BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 28. — Bill Subry, one of the best pitchers ever developed in the Rocky Mountain conference, is back at his studies at Colorado University, but he has-, n't lost hope of clearing the Major League barrier one of these days. Subry dropped out of college last spring to pitch for Jackson, Miss., 'n the Cotton States League, where he won 18 and lost nine. Then he was transferred to Beaumont of the Texas League, winning four of his six games with that club. Beaumont is a Detroit farm and Subrey said he felt he had “the best chance yet” of getting a trial in big league company. The husky right hander helped pitch C. U. to a tie for the confer- ence title in 1934 and to an undis- puted championship in 1935. e TRITON TAKES HUNTERS OUT J. C. Thomas and Robert Benaer left Tuesday aboard J. J. Meherin's yacht Triton, Capt. Charles Hayes, for a four day hunt. Young’s Bay was their first destination. From there, Capt. Hayes promised a tour of the best game spots around. - e, Wallace Beery still holds the rec- ord for catching the largest black sea bass with rod and reel. He is officially credited with hooking a 515 pounder, in 1916, off Catalina Island. - " Oxford and Schou sell shoes in Birmingham, Ala, PLAYING GAME INNEW MANNER Baylor’s Crooning Quarter Mixes Song with Signals —Tosses Out Tunes By FELIX McKNIGHT WACO, Tex., Oct. 28—Triple- threater Lloyd Russell, who can hit high “C” and an enemy line without dropping a note, is rip- ping off gains to his own vocal accompaniment in the Southwest Conference again. The Baylor University quarter- back is no Bing Crosby but he likes to sing and does so on or off the gridiron. Two seasons ago Russell broke into song as he romped away on a, punt return against a tune-up op- ponent. Jinx Tucker, a veteran ‘Waco sports editor, caught a bar or two, fumbled at his typewriter and came up with a paragraph about the “crooning quarterback.” It not only stuck—it spread. Subconscious Singing ! Fans flocked to the stadium to see and hear the slippery Russell | in action—a youngster who could run touchdowns and the scales si- multaneously. Russell insists his vocal accom- plishments have been greatly ex- aggerated and explains— “I have a peculiar habit of call-' ing signals after the ball is snap- ped, often after I'm tackled. Some of the opposing players have told me that just before I am tackled 1 start mumbling and singing. I don't wilfully start singing, but I have caught myself doing it.” Head Coach Morley Jennings snorts when the subject is men-/ tioned. He respects Russell as a triple-threater but when the extra “threat” of crooning is tossed in, he labels it “tommyrot.” Gets Chances on Radio But Russell doesn't object to be- ing called the “crooning quarter- back,” a name that brought him a couple of radio offers, both de- clined. The son of a mail-carrier, Rus-| sell ranks with the best of the Southwest Conference backs, is one of the few 4-lettermen in Texas and one of the brightest young| baseball prospects hereabouts. Rumor says he is to have a fling in baseball under the guidance of the Cleveland Indians after his graduation. On top of all his other accom- plishments, in baseball, football, track and baseball, he's a star performer with the textbooks—an honor student. by the erstwhile Wild Bull of the Pampas, and for that we should be everlastingly grateful, ‘That victory over Firpo cleared the path to the United States and here Godoy is now, not tossing chal- lenges at the Braddocks, the Schmelings and the Louises, but willing te make his presence felt cording to a report submitted to the City Council at Ketchikan.
