The final of the Century, as well as of all events, will be decided tomorrow. Trial heats today, however, carried the promise of being run in as fast time as ever has been made by man entries in this dash have been timed under 10 sec- onds. Bracey of Rice Institute ‘Tolan, the Michigan Negro star: Simpson of Ohio State and Leland of Texas Christian have traveled the distance in 0:09:5, which is as fast as it ever had been run, 80 far as accepted records reveal. 79 universities and col- ted by the 332 athletes, v of Tllinois was a s challenger for ar Fourteen y vidual stars. The Universitics of Washington and Southern California also were given important consideration. Another far Western school, Stanford, had thre: men entered, striving for individual honors rather than team victory. The pole vault record of 13 feet'615 Inches has been beaten this Spring by several of the men who entered in this event, including Warne of North- western, Canby of Towa, McDermott of Tlinots, Williams of Southern Califor- nia, and Edmonds of Stanford, holder of the record In the 220-yard dash Bracey, Tolan and Simpson have all traveled the route in less than 21 seconds. The field, in addition to these men, is fast enough to tnspire record smashing. One record that looked safe was De- hart Hubbard's 25 feet 1073 inches broad jump. Hill of Southern Califor- nia is the only entry who has done better than 25 feet, and he by just the fraction of an inch.

HAVE BEEN ABLE T SCORE INHE RECENT ICAA MEE Meropoliam Newspaper Servies Edward R. Bushnell in an inter- esting article in the May issue of Franklin Field Illustrated, published by the University of Pennsylvania, supports the contention that the Penn track team of 1899, “if its members could be reassembled and vitalized with the same speed, en- durance, agility and strength that startled the athletic world 30 years " could have won the fifty-third annual IC4A champlonship games. He omits the discus and javelin throws, as these events weren't held in the gay 90s, and further quali- fles his statement by saying that only four places should count to duplicate the conditions then exist~ ing. While I do not agree with the belief of Mr. Bushnell, his article throws' some very interesting light on Alvin Kraenzlein, Penn's one- man track team and super-star of 1898, 1899 and 1900, who, single- handed, scored more points in the IC4A meet in three years than Stanford’s great team did recently in winning its third successive vic- tory. This is counting points as they do now, with 5 for first, 4 for second and 3 for third. This is what Alvin Kraenzlein did in_ his'_three’ IC4A" meets, helping Penn, his alma mater, to be vic- torious each year. In 1898 this remarkable athlete won the 120- yard_hurdles 'in ‘15 3-5 seconds, the low hurdles in 233-5 seconds (set- ting & world record that lasted until 1923 and an IC4A record that still - Good USED TIRES General Dual Balloons Most All Sizes Gener;—l Tire Company 13th & Eye Sts.

A year later he won three firsts in the same events, seiting marks of 15 2-5, 234-5 and 24 feet 4'; inches, re- spectively, his broad jump mark lasting &s an IC4A record until 1924.

HICAGO, June 7—A feeling of relief, mingled with con- tinued vigilance, existed in the Big Ten Conference to- following the failure of Coach rett Case of Frankfort, Ind., High School to make expected sensational charges of proselyting and subsidizing athletes agains Purdue and other member insti- | tutions. Case came here yesterday, reported to | be ready to tell Maj. John L. Griffith Blg Ten athletic commissioner, of the | activities of other schooly who were | “as guilty as Towa” in the matter of hiring athletes. | After a two-hour conference with Case, however, Maj. Griffith announced | that the Frankfort ecoach had made no | charges “against Purdue or any other| school,” but_had come to Chicago to | “learn’ who had linked his name with the Iowa case.” | Players Not Influenced. | Case had been charged with having | sent members of his Indiana high | school basket ball championship team to Towa in exchange for teachers' | credits following the Summer school | session_of 1927 |sald the athletes in question, Doyle | second in the broad fump at 22 feet 1015 inches. Ninefeen more points for the “Flying Dutchman.” with a total of 47 marks in the three years. Eight first places, one second and one third. Bushnell declares in his article that Kraenzlein was repeatedly timed in 143-5 over the high hurdles in practice, which only shows all the more what s marvel he was and how far ahead of his time in hurdling technique he was.

Griffith that | |the question of his Summer schaol[ credits had been investigated and the matter settled to the satisfaction of | the Frankfort School Board, and the | Indiana Board of Education. " While Maj. Grifith said that Case had made no charges against any Big Ten schools, he added that any in- ! formation he had gained during his| conference with Case would be turned | over to schools concerned and to the | Big Ten faculty committee on athletics | | which expelled Iowa nearly two weeks | ago. Case was said to have told the | Prankfort Board of Education that Purdue University was “as guilty as Towa” in secking the services of athletes.

He denied that he had| charged any coach with having at- tempted to hire athletes. He said that | Justin (Sam) Barry, who Tecently re- | siened as basket ball coach at Iowa,| & good friend of his, but declared that fact had nothing to do with the | decision of Spradling and Plunkett, to {select Towa over Purdue or any other | school.

Pitt of the Manor | Club in defense of his Mid- | dle Atlantic Golf Association | amateur championship today at the Baltimore Country Club. Pitt played C. R. Morfow of Indian | Spring in a first-round match which he | was expected to win, and in the second round probably was to_meet Fred A. Savage. jr., of Elridge, Baltimore, who | won the qualifying round of the cham- | pionship tourney yesterday with a score | of 75, three over par for the Roland Park course, | Pitt's medal round was three shots above that of the medalist. but it was a round featured by sparkling recov- | eries and great come-back, after it looked at the twelfth hole as if the champion would not qualify. Those who played in the medal round yester- day set a hot pace, as 81 was the low- est score to qualify in the champion- | ship flight and only one man at this score got in—after a play-off. | Pitt’s first round found him opposed | to a son of former Gov. E. A. Morrow | of Kentucky, who is now in Washing- | ton as a member of the Federal Board of Mediation. The youngster is a golfer romise, but does not. figure to beat a nlan of Pitt's experience. On the other hand, if Pitt wins his first-round match | !n‘ he will be opposed by a player who has | been through the mill. Savage should | beat Talbott T. Speer, old-time Mary- | land University foot ball star, and ad- | vance to the second round, where he probably will clash with Pitt. Harry Finishés Strong. The defending champion played & fine round of golf to qualify in the first | flight, where & slip on the second nine | might have meant non-qualification. Fighting against inaccurate pitch shots and keen putting greens, he came home qualified with 2 strokes to spare, one of seven Washington golfers who made the championship flight. Albert R. ‘Mackenzie, Columbia Country Olub vet- eran, met an old-time rival today in the first round in B. Warren Cockran, | ace of the home club. who finished sec- | ond in the medal round, with a acore of | 76, 1 stroke above the fine 75 of Savage. The five-man team of the Baltimore | Country Club, headed by Cockra | bers _of |H 2 Brooke V. Brer (Columbia), 88. nexed the team champiofshtp of the association, with a total score ef 391. In second place was the team of the Washington Golf and Country Club, which totaled 405, and nosed out the Rolling Road team by 1 stroke. Mem- the Washington team were Frank K. Roesch, 79: W. R. McCallum, 79; R. T. Harrell, 80; Henry D. Nich- oison, 83, and James G. Corcoran, 87. A total of 22 Washington players qualified in the four flights whirh were being played todav Seven men made the first flight, tffe same number made the second flight and four each quali- fied in the third and fourth flights.
