‘30 RECORDS IN DANGER INMEET SATURDAY Performances in Divisional Tests Indicate Marks May Be Broken. elementary school to be held Saturday morning on the Plaza Field starting at 10 o'clock. Di- visional meets now are in progress and ing 62 schols in various sections of the city, will compete in track meet boys finishing first, second and third in | each event will be eligible to compete in Saturday’s title affair. Approximately 2.000 boys will participate in the di- visional meets. E. V. Brown School of the George- town division won both the senior and Junior titles in last year's meet. _ There will be five classes of competi- tion Saturday. The 70-pound class youngsters will get their chance in the meet for the first time. As in the past there also will be the 85, 100, and 115- pound classes and the. unlimited com- petition. Indications are that several meet rec- ords will be seriously threatened. Some Clever Feats. One mark that may prove a vulner- able target is that of 11 seconds flat for the 100-yard dash, unlimited class, held by Earl Clark, now playing base ball with the Boston National League team. Barney Ackerman of Cooke Schoo, in the Columbia Heights division, recently stepped the century in 112 seconds. In 1924 Calvin Milans, captain and gensational high jumper of the Central High School team. made a leap of 4 feet 9 inches to establish a record in the 85- pound class. Myer Sirota, Madison School youngster, cleared the bar gt 4 feet 8 inches, just one inch under Milans' standard, in the Rosedale di- vision meet a few days ago. Incidentally, Milans, who now holds the public high school C Club and Devitt School meet records, also .still holds the 100-pound class elementary school record at 5 feet 3, of an inch. Gerald Freedman of Park View School In-the Columbia Heights divis- jon meet stepped the 50-yard dash in the 85-pound class in 7 seconds. This was good time for a youngster, but it is not thought likely that the exceptional record of 61-5 seconds for this event set by Robert Smith of Ross School way back in 1916 will be surpassed Sat- urday. William Harris of Monroe School promises to place the record of 121-10 seednds for the 80-yard hurdles, 100- pound class, made by Payne of Ed- monds in 1928 in jeopardy. In the Co- lumbia Heights division meet Harris turned in a 123-10 seconds perform- arce. Not Easy to Pick Winners. Richard S. Tennyson, in charge of boys' activities of the municipal play- und department, and who has been conducting the meets for the past 11 years, points out that it is not easy to predict the winner of the meet. Be- cause a school does not land top hon- ors in its division does not necessarily mean that it can be counted out of the running in the city championships. The genial Tenneyson recalls that in 1924 the Monroe School, though it finished third in the Columbia Heights Division meet, came back to win the city affair. Harry Helme, former Georgetown University trackster, will be the starter Eaturday. Other officials will include: Judges at the finish—Walter Haight, Herbert Hunter, James White. Judges for the high jump—Franklin Carr, Ben Kail. Judges for the broad jump—Joe Mitchell, W. Nerlich. Timers—Bill Dowding, James Con- nolly, Mike Beckam. Recorders—Miss Teresa Breen, Ber- nie McCarty SHRIVER SUCCESSFUL AS SHOOTING MENTOR Sergt. Maj. Allie M. Schriver, U. 8. M. C., retired, who is coach of the Cen- tral High School boys’ rifle team which has just won the national scholastic title, has during his career tutored many teams and individuals to honors in rifle competition. Foremost among the crack riflemen developed by Sergt. Maj. Schriver are Marcus W. Dinwiddie, an outstanding free-shoot expert; Lieut A. M. Morgan, U. 8. N, star all-around shot and Lieut. ‘Walter Stokes. Central's victory in the international competition just ended was in consider- able measure attributable to the fact that the team concentrated on the kneeling position, according to Sergt. Maj. Schriver. Members of the Central team all of whom had a part in gaining the victory included Capt. Edward Radue, Kenneth Morris, Norman Pressler, Claude La Varre, John Howard, Willilam Greene, Harry Watson. John Ludlum, Ross Fryer and Oscar Seigel, H. H. Bur- roughs is the faculty advisor.

MARKS DUE T0 60 IN BIG TEN MEET Four of Oldest Records on Books Seem Almost Certain " to Be Shattered. | | i HICAGO, May 22 (#).—Records are expected to fall Friday and Saturday in the twenty-ninth annual Big Ten track and field meet, but four of the oldest marks on the books are almost certain to survive. Such quarter-milers as Rut Walters of Northwestern and Baird of Iowa have covered the distance in less than 49 seconds, but the conference record of 0:4725, set by Binga Dismond, Chi- cago Negro star, in 1916, appears to b beyond their reach. The mark of 1:53% for the half- mile run around four turns, set by Le- roy Campbell of Chicago in 1915, has not been approached by White and Orlovich of Illlinols, Martin of Purdue or Gist of Chicago, who stand out as the best in the Big Ten. | The mile-run record of 4:1545, estab- | lished in 1917 by Eddie Fall, Oberlin | star, also appears to be in no serious danger, even though Martin of Purdue approached Fall's time at the Penn re- lays this Spring. Martin is regarded as an almost certain victor in the event if he enters, Another 1915 mark, that of Arlie Mucks of Wisconsin, in the discus, also appears safe. Mucks hurled the missile | 155 feet 2 inches, and that mark has not been threatened. Pete Rasmus, Ohio State star, who has won the event for the last two years, has thrown the weight close to 150 feet several times. | George Simpson, Ohio State sprint star, is expected to menace the 100 and 220 yard records, and Dave Abbott of | Illinois is given a chance to better his | own mark in_the two mile. Behrm of ‘Wisconsin and Weaver of Chicago have done better than the existing record for the shotput, and either may break it. while Ketz of Michigan has improved on his own hammer mark on several occasions this Spring.

HAT long-deferred match to set- tle the habitat of the Dawes Cup for 1929 is to be played at the Congressional Country Club on June 1. At present Western and Central are tied for first place in the interscholastic golf standings as a re- sult of the match last Saturday when Western's golf heroes, led by Tommy Webb, nosed out the Central club swing- ers in a close contest. Had Central won that match, or even gotten a tie, the cup would have become the posses- sion of the Mount Pleasant school for the year. But Western won—by a scant p(l)mt—lnd & rubber match m be ayed. B Next Saturday, Tech, which has been the foot ball of the current interscho- lastic golf series, is to meet Western and probably will absorb another drubbing, and on the following Saturday Western and Central will clash in the decisive tilt for the cup put up by the former Vice President, Last Saturday Capt. Oliveri shifted his team around, remov- ing the:Sherby brothers from the team. During the period between now and June 1 elimination matches will be held to determine just who shall represent Central in the decisive match. Western's team is well balanced and stable and there probably will not be any changes in the line-up of the lads from across Rock Creek prior to the match.

Concern STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE Mrs. L. O. Cameron, who won the qual- ifying round, scored on the last hole over Mrs. W. J. Flather, winning by 2 up. Other results follow: Mrs. J. F. Dryden defeated Mrs. A. T. Strong, 5 and 3; Mrs. A, S. Merrill defeated Mrs. A. G. Lambert, 3 and 2; Mrs. Harrison Brand defeated Mrs. 1. Caldwell, 6 and 5. Mrs. Frank Keefer, Mrs. Walter F. Chappell, Miss Susan Hacker and Mrs. Grinn Rust all drew first-round byes. Effie Bowes, former Maryland title holder, led a strong fleld of woman players in the qualifying round of the Maryland State women'’s champlonship, | played vesterday at the Suburban Club | of "Baltimore. Miss Bowes scored an 89 to lead Mrs.'W. D. Bahn of the Bal: timore Country Club by three strokes. Virginia Holzderber, holder of the woman’s Midatlantic title, and Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow, Maryland State title hoider, tied for third place with 94s and are in opposite halves of the draw. Miss Holzderber and Mrs. Morrow have been rivals for leadership among the woman golfers of Maryland since Miss Holzderber came to Baltimore from New York, two years ago. Keen putting greens combined with a slow course and extremely heavy fair- ways to boost the scores in the first day's qualifying play in the Indian sprmhwumey vesterday. Out of the more than 100 starters only one man— Harry G. Pitt of the Manor Club—was | able to break 80. And Pitt only shat- tered the 80 mark by two strokes. Even the Midatlantic champlon, who is one | of the best putters around Washington, | found trouble on the greens, missing at least four putts of less than 5 feet. Several of the leading golfers of the city were to start in the last day’s qual- | itying round today. among them Page Hufty of Congressional, who won the event last year, and was victorious re- cently in the Town and Country Club tourney. Charles W. Cole, jr., of Indian Spring was second to Pitt yesterday, with & card of 80. Cole aiso found trouble with the keen greens and slow fairways. RECORD IS NEEDED 0 OUTRUN BRACEY By the Associated Press. Any sprint star who outsteps Claude Bracey, the Texas fiyer, this season in the “100” will have to break the world record to do it, in the opinion of Ernie | Hijertberg, noted Swedish coach, who | has been tutoring the track and field | squad at Rice Institute. “Simpson (of Ohio State) has never beaten Bracey,” Hjertberg points out, adding that if Simpson is credited with 9.5 for the 100-yard dash, the same figure should be recognized for Bracey, | who was clocked in that time when he ! ;Jl'klwd the Ohioan at the Texas re-| ays { “T feel that a new record for the 100 | is possible,” Hjertberg writes. “In fact | I feel that when Bracey is right he can do it, or if any one defea{s him. he| must do so.

Duganne, | George T. Howard and other learned golf rule interpreters to decide | what should be done in a situation | that confronted him at Washington | recently. At the outset let it be said that Hop- kins abhors nothing more than playing in 2 high wind. When he left the first tee in this game at his home club the wind was nothing more than a gentle Spring zephyr. But somewhere along the layout it veered to the North and grew into a gale. So Hopkins pulled his hat down over his ears and stuck to his knitting knocking the ball down under the wind with the low hook that | is his best shot. He came to the eleventh hole and the wind was romp- ing around the corner of the twelfth | tee in an increasingly shrill crescendo. | Hopkins stooped over to putt, and as | he struck the ball the playful wind | seized the hat from his head and rolled it in the path of the pellet. The sphere gayly rolled into the hat, while | Hopkins stood in a quandary, bemoan- | ing the fact that his putt had been | ruined and wondering what to do. He didn't know whether he could lift the | ball, or whether he had to play it from | the hat. He stood -there debating, when the playful wind that had been doing pranks all day, decided the mat- ter for him. As suddenly as it had cast the hat into the path of his ball, it rolled the hat over :and out came the ball. Hopkins nonchalantly knocked it into the hole from the half in 3. And now he wonders whether or not he | would have had to play it out of the hat had the wind not rolled it out. He told the story to Bob Barnett at Chevy Chase and Bob ruled that he wculd have had to play the ball from where it lay, or call it an unplayable and lose his strokes. Barnett recalled a somewhat similar incident in the open champlonship of 1923 at Inwood, where George McLean played his sec- ond shot toward the fifth green and finally located it down in the bottom of & paper bag which had been left in the fairway by picnickers out from New York to see the pros play. “He had to loft it over a bumper, too,"” said Bar- nett. “And he not only got away with | the shot, but knocked in his putt for a birdie four.” ONLY FOOT BALL PAYS.

BY WALTER HAGE British Open Golf Champion. PARIS, May 22.—Horton Smith scheduled to celebrate his 21st birthdas today by becoming le champion de France in golf. He is practically “a sure thing to win.” as yesterday, at St Cloud, he establishod a new course record, going out in 34 and coming back in 32 for the fine total of 66. But the most marvelous part of this achievement was that he repeated this score in the afternoon, when only the taking of three putts on the last green kept him from doing a 65. Smith's total of 132 put him 12 strokes ahead of the next man and tied the world record for 36 holes of con- ecutive play—a record which I made at Wolf Hollow. If it hadn't been for his extra putt on that final green, I'd not even be able to divide it with him. With the lead he has, Smith should win the professional championship of France in a walk and thereby give the fiz’]fler Cup team its second European In addition to the British and French championships, don't forget that an- other member of the team, Joe Turnesa. won the Yorkshire Thousand Guineas contest, the greatest professional match pln’;}' t:mmlmflr‘lt ever held. orton’s golf was nothing ! m!;_lt::ulnus, L ere are six Ryder Cup players con- testing and all hope to nnlshyl‘ell up in this tournament.

CLOUD, France, May 22 (#).— Horton Smith's two 66s for 132 in the first 36 holes of the international pro- fessional golf tournament here ha convinced at least two of Europe's leading players that the Joplin pro has the stuff of which champlons are made. Smith's amazing display of brilliant play yesterday drew tributes on all sides. but two of them carried particular weight. They came from Arnaud Massy of France and George Duncan, British veteran. Massy, who won the British open title the year before 8mith was born, had this to say of ,the yourg Joplin pro who reached his majority today: “He has got what it takes to make a champion. In a few vears he is going to be the greatest golfer in the world.” Duncan said of him: * “I've seen only two or three people to compare with him, Harry Vardon, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen. He is as cool as a cucumber no matter what happens.” ‘The figures tell the story of Smith's marvelous game better than any other medium: His first 66 broke the cou record by two strokes; he had only three 55 on a course 6,507 yards long; he was only twice over par; he scored 12 birdies: he was neyer in the bunker and off the fairways only thrice and each time neat recoveries enabled him to get down in par.
