Thorpe has already won the AP poll as the greatest foot-all player. Third place was close between Paavo Nurmi, Finnish distance run- ner, with 31 votes, and Glenn Cunningham, the American distance ace, with 30. RECORDS SMASHED Literally hundreds of of athletes have tried, to smash standard world track records, but never before—nor since—did one man accomplish so much in so short a space as Owens did on May 25, 1935, in the Big Ten track meet at Ann Arbor, Mich. Competing for Ohio versity, he tied the 100 yard re- cord at :094, and set mew world marks of :20.3 for 220 yards, :22.6 for the 220 yard low hurdles, and 26 feet &% inches for the broad jump. Since 200 meters is a trifle shorter than 220 yards, OweMs' times in the 220 yard dash and 220 y'\rd‘ hurdles also were accepted as world records at the metric distances. All these astouxfizng records were for- mally accepted as international standards. STAR AT OLYMPICS Then Owens became the brightest star of the 1836 Olympic games at Berlin, winning the 100 and 200 meters, the broad jump, and run- ning a leg on the victorious 400 ~ meter relay team. “The greatest thrill of my life,” Owens called those Olympic vic- tories. At Berlin Owens was the center of an international argument. The race-conscious Germans obviously did not like the idea of an Ameri- | can Négro overshadowing their Nordic heroes. Adolf Hitler man- aged to be on hand to congratulate some of the German winners, but he was never around for any of the victory ceremonies that centered on the swift Owens. POLE VAULTER FIFTH In fifth place came Cornelius Warmerdam, the American pole vaulter, with 12 votes. Some con- sider his world record of 15 feet 7% inches as the greatest indi- vidual feat in track. Next was the “Babe,” Mildred Didrikson Zaharias, Clympic champion and world re- cord holder, with 9 votes., In sev- enth was the late Charlie Paddock, the sprinter, with 8, followed Ly Gunder Hagg, Swedish distance re- cord holder, 5; Bob Mathias, Ameri- can Olympic decathlon champion, 5; and Fanny Blankers-Koen, Dutch sprinter, 3.
