50 SPORTS. Dearth of Great Mile Runners Bemoaned by Connolly, Former Georgetown Star NOT ONE OF NOTE HERE IN 5 YEARS In Fact, Ex-Hilltopper Was Last to Show Ability at Distance. AMES J. CONNOLLY, who holds the world record for finishing second to Jole Ray, sounded off today on the dearth of first- class milers at Washington colleges. In !lct there hasn't been an out- standing one since Jeems' day of star- dom at Georgetown ended five years ago. He retired from the Hilltop with an intercollegiate mile record which has yet to be cracked. "l!s a popular distance,” said Con- nolly, “and Wlth all the trackmen we've had around here in the last several years you'd figure that one or two good ones would have developed. But we" ve had only a few that were even I Might Change Distance. Some of the boys now running other distances might do better at the mile, Jimmy observed, and pointed to the umer remarkable success Jack Ryder has had at Boston College and the Boston A. A. in converting sprinters and middle distancers into milers. Ryder for many years has had at least one great miler under his wing and none came to him as a ready-made article. Leo Lermond is the current imen. Until the last Winter Leo zfi“ ht of himself only as a runner of 2 mllza and up. He won the national 5-mile chlmpionshlp in 1927 and in the 1928 Olympics finished third in the 5,000 meters. “Youre the goods in the long races, all right,” he told Lermond one day ]llt ‘Winter, “but I believe you'd make ater miler. How about trying it?” uunm'"““ Simons Yaly unaer Ryder, ost daily under Ryder, Lermond had run the fastest outdoor mile recorded in this country in years. He did 4.14 2-5 in the Penn relay carnival.

ONLY “BIG THREE” SHUN VARSITY ROWING RACE By the Assoclated Press. Only 12 colleges in the country turn out crews and 9 of them will start in the varsity 4-mile championship race at Poughkeepsie June 24, now that Mas- sachusetts Tech has entered the big Tegatta. Harvard, Yale and Princeton, the old big three, still remain outside the fold. The Tigers some day may change their policy and go to Poughkeepsie, but the Elis and Crimson prefer to maintain their own classic at New Lon- don, to be rowed this year on June 21. It will be an undisputed champion- ship on the Hudson nevertheless. Co- lumbia already has beaten Yale and Princeton. Cornell has defeated Har- vard and will seek the scalps of Yale and Princeton this Saturday on Lake Cayugs. CAROLINA STATE SENDS McGINN TO TRACK MEET RALEIGH, N. C, May 16 ®.— George H.

W. and Gallaudet Trail in Five-Cornered Meet in Baltimore. \HOUGH beaten for first place by Johns Hopkins, Catholic Uni- versity's track team has reason to be quite satisfied with its showing in the five-team track | and field meet held at Hopkins. The Cardinals outscored their local rivals, George Washington and Gallaudet, de- cisively. Here’s how the teams finished: Johns Hopkins, 115; Catholic University, 60 ; George Washington, 25 Gallaudet, 4, and Loyola, 3. A feature of the games was Catholic University's clean-up of the half-mile race. De Voe, Hamilton and Hickey ran one, two. three, in a bunch and their nearest opponent, Dobson, of Gallaudet, was 20 yards behind. Chitwood of George Washington was the star distance performer. He won the mile and 2-mile events. Dorman won the shot and discus for Johns Hop- kins. Hershey of Hopkins took the high and low hurdles. By outscoring Gallaudet, George Washington gained revenge for a de- feat sustained in a dual meet several weeks ago. Summaries: TRACK EVENTS.

They added 4 more to this in the final inning while shutting out their opponents without a score.
