C, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1929. .SPORTS. 33 Records Are Likely to Be Smashed in High School THREE SEEM SURE T0 BE SHATTERED 440, Mile and Javelin Events Have Entrants Capable of Breaking Marks. public high school champion- ship track meet Friday after- noon in Central Stadium. These are the marks for the 440-yard dash, the 1-mile run and the javelin throw. Capt. Jake Edwards of Tech, Frank Miles of Eastern, Russell Lampson of Central and Bert Allison of Eastern are boys who now loom as likely to shat- ter existing standards as the result of performances in the C Club meet Saturday, when they all bettered the high school marks. Edwards, in the C Club affair, step- ped the quarter mile in 50 1-10 sec- onds. The high school meet record of 51 3-5 seconds was made by Horace Hebb of Tech in 1926. Miles in win- ning the mile run in the C Club meet covered the distance in 4 minutes 433-10 seconds. If he can do this 1l, or close to it. he will lower a which has stood for nine years. It is that of 4 minutes 45 seconds, registered by John Gross of Tech in 1920. Lampson heaved the javelin 156 feet 5'2 inches, to capture that event in the C Club mec:. This is just 1 inch better than the high school meet mark of 156 feet 41: inches, made by Coleman Jones of Central in 1926. Allison of Eastern heaved the javelin well beyond the high school mark in the recent quadrangular telegraphic meet with Tech, Devitt and Castle Heights, Tennessee Military Academy, when he tossed the spear 162 feet 3 inches. Among the records which have sur- vived the longest, and probably will continue as standards for some time, are those for the 100 and 220 yard dashes and running broad jump. W. Richard Dear of Central, Bryan Morse of Western and Sylvester Maxam of ‘Western are joint holders of the 100- yard record at 10 seconds. Dear made the time in 1901, Morse in 1905 and | Maxam in 1914. Dear also is the hold- er of the 220-yard mark of 22 2-5 sec- cnds, made in 1902. The broad jump record of 21 feet 712 inches was made by Sidney Kent of Central in 1905.

DOWN THE LINE WITH W. O. McGEEHAN Altogether Too Altruistic. SHORT time ago a story came down from Harvard to the effect that the Athletic Association had determined to raise the sum of $10,000.- | 000 for the perpetual upkeep of athletics. The idea, it was explained, was to do away with gate receipts for Harvard foot ball games and other sports at the university. This would be a step toward abolishing tie overemphasis, against which there have been strong complaints, especially be- tween foot ball seasons. Gate receipts, it seems, form the root of all evil in both professional and amateur sports. Those concerned with the overemphasis of foot ball and the sordid commercialism which, they insist, is creeping into all sports, were just about to rejoice when it turned out that there was nothing in the story. There will still be gate receipts at Earvard. It is unfortunate that there was nothing in the announcement. It migt have led to so much if it had been true. Naturally, the idea would be fol- lowed by the other colleges. It would have shamed Congress into doing some- thing of the same sort for the two service academies. An appropriation © $20,000,000 would immediately have been voted to be divided equally betweer West Point and Annapolis. Instead of collecting gate receipts which would go to the support of athletic activities of the two service academies, there would be no charge whatever for games involving the Army or the Navy. Instead of the gate recelg: system the tickets to such games would be allotted pro rata to each member of Congress, who would be permitted to distribute them at will to his constituents. If this story only had been truc it might not have been long before the idea would have been taken up in professional sports. Col. Jacob Ruppert might have announced shortly that he would set aside the sum of $10,000,000 in order that the practice of selling tickets at the box office might be abolished. TWO—NIGHT DOUGLAS .... There is no doubt the colonel would argue that if collecting gate receipts was infecting the game of irgercoil giate foot bail it also must be infecting the great naional pastimf. Tertainly, this should not be. Egbert Barrow, business manager of the Yankees, would proceed immediately upon the formation of a plan for the free distribution of tickets to Yankee customers. Naturally, all of the clubs in all leagues would have to follow suit. Of course, William F. Carey, manager for the Madison Square Garden Corporation and a newly elected official of the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, would see the point. He would appeal to the 600 millionaires of Madison Square Garden to appropriate $10,000,000 in order that the gate receipt practice might be done away with at that Temple to Fistiana, which was raised with the highest motives. Mr. Carey would not like to have the stigma of sordid com- mercialism placed upon that edifice which was designed to typify nothing but pure sportsmanship. The idea might have gone even further. In a short time there might have come & notice from the Shubert offices to the effect that as soon as $100,000,000 could be raised there would be no charge what- ever for attractions at the Shubert theaters. ‘The plan had possibilities for doing away with commercialism in all of th> sports and the arts in time. Unfortunately, it was only a dream. custom of Over the Wires [ANY a good idea comes out of Harvard. Only the other day came the announcement that o telegraphic transcontinental golf match was being arranged between Harvard and the University of Oregon. There will be no travel involved, according to the dispatch, as the rival teams will go out or the same day on courses named in advance, play against par and then repor’ to each other by telegraph. Of course chess and checker matches have been played by telegraph and by radio. but the course on one checker or chess board is much the same as on another. There is no difference of wind or weather, and there are no bunkers or traps on the board. But why quibble? It is something new and has possibilities. Under this system track and field meets might be held simultaneous in all parts of the world. During the Yale-Harvard track meet at Nc Haven, California and Stanford might be meeting at Berkeley, Calif., whi Oxford and Cambridge were meeting in England and a few universities i central Europe were holding their meets. They =2ll could be competir against par, which would mean the estabiished track and field records. It remains only to devise some means by which foot ball games could played by telegraph. In this way all the teams could emuss themselv- with telegraphic games between the real games. Some genius will devi ways and means for this and it might result in a system by which a char p p team could be determined, for it would enable each team to pir forty-eight games in a season instead of cight. son at a meeting of the team tonight at | 343 Tennessee avenue northeast. ]FISHING TR'PS PLANNED A game for Sunday is sought by BY ACACIA MEN’S CLU Freund Seniors with a nine having a diamond.
