S PORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, APRIL 25 1930. SPORTS. D=3 Record Smashing Galore Promised as Penn and Drake Track Classics Start BERLINGER SEEKS Sprinters Featured in Meet at Des Moines—Lermond in High Gear. By the Assoclated Press. HILADELPHIA, April 25— The setting for brilliant, and possibly, record-break- ing achievements by two of America’s foremost young ath- letes, Barney Berlinger of Penn- sylvania and Leo Lermond of the Boston A. A, shared the spotlight with team ambitions today in the opening program of the thirty- sixth annual Pennsylvania relay carnival. Berlinger, strapping young all-around star, with no_particular_opposition in sight_unless it was forthcoming from Bob Todd of Indiana, figured to take a substantial crack at his own carnival record of 7,208 points in the decathlon if not the American record of 7,784.68 points, set by Ken Doherty of Detroit. Pennsylvania ace was on an all-day shift, starting at 10 a.m. and winding up at 5:41 pm. Lermond, just back from an Aus- tralian tour, had his eye on Tommy Connefl’s 35-year-old world record of 3 minutes 245 seconds for the three-quar- ter-mile run. The hard-running Boston A. A. star faced minor opposition for his record attempt, but an impressive per- formance today would boost his prospects of victory tomorrow in_another special race at one mile with Ray Conger, the slim Iowan, as a rival. Lermond and Conger both were pro- nounced ready for an attack tomorrow upon the world’s mile mark of 4:102, set by Paavo Nurmi in Sweden seven years ago. Ohio State's entry in the “fastest human” contest, George Simpson, was the outstanding individual star in the fine galaxy of relay talent, Sprinters Readline. DES MOINES, April 25 (#).—Another “battle of the century” and wholesale record breaking was promised today as 2,500 Midwestern and Southwestern track and field stars invaded Des Moines for the twenty-first renewal of the Drake relay games. Opening the meet at 10 o'clock, the high school entrants were to start_the qualification process for the finals. This afternoon the college and university stars faced preliminaries in the various track and field events. Interest here has centered around the “dash of the century,” which will bring together Cy Leland and Claude Bracey, the Texans whose rivalry in the 100~ rd dash has created sensational races the Southwest's early Spring meets. ‘They will find formidable opposition from Eddie Tolan, Michigan Negro uce, and Meier of Iowa State. Preliminaries in the field events were to bring Tom Warne of Northwest- ern against a strong field of competitors who hoped to end his dominance in the (ONCENTRATION on how to swing, how to break the wrists, how tc handle the body shift and all the other factors that g0 into the successful golf swing may have their place with some people, but the vast majority of golfers must be satisfied to let their muscles remember what to do and must not exercise con- scious control over all the manifest processes that go into the swing, ac- cording to Dr. Bruce L. Taylor, presi- dent of the District Golf Association, a man who has given nearly 20 years to an intensive study of why a golf ball performs as it does. Dr. Taylor believes that muscle training is the only way in which a golf ball may be successfully hit, and that for a player to remember ail the thoughts imparted to him by instructors at the instant the swing is made, is asking so much that it is impossible in practice. “I find that if I think how to stand, think how to turn my wrists, think to curtail my back swing, and then think that I must not start | the club down too fast, I am very apt to flub the shot,” Dr. Taylor says,. “But if I go out there without thinking of any particular part of the swing, of | the stance or of whether my feet look right, I can usually get off a successful shot. I am convinced that muscle memory is the thing to cultivate, and not the thinking processes that pro- | duce the tailor-made golfer. That is | the reason, I believe, why youngsters pole vault. Warne went 13 feet 9% inches in the Kansas relays. The Drake record is 13 feet 4% niches, set last | year by Otterness of Minnesota, Hank | Canby, Iowa vaulter, and McDermott of Illinois are Warne's chief rivals. The high jump has Bert Nelson of Butler and Ted Shaw of Wisconsin as the leading lights. Either can go 6 feet 6 inches. Prominent shotputters are Sammy Behr, Wisconsin track and field all-star, and Jim Bausch of Kansas. Star Hurdlers Meet. The hurdle races are almost as at- tractive as the celebrated 100-yard dash. Lee Sentman, the spindle-legged racer, is here to continue his assault on exist- ing records. His competition will come from George Saling, the Iowa hurdler, who has pushed him in every meet this Spring. The 2-mile race tomorrow brings Or- val Martin of Purdue, yet to be beaten in his specialty, against Putnam of Towa State, who has not lost a race this year. McKeever of Illinois, out of competition for five years, is back once more to claim honors in the long-distance race. The university relays, the grand finale of the carnival tomorrow, are expected to end the usual supremacy of the West- ern Conference teams. Missouri’s crack team is the favorite to end Iowa's cus- tom of winning the mile relay. Notre Dame is likely winner in the 2-mile, and Marquette, with the Walters broth- ers, Olympic stars, the choice in the medley. Illinois is the one Big Ten school picked in the relays, holding the pre- meet edge in the quarter mile and 480- yard shuttle race. NEW offers STRAIGHT OFF THE TEE DECATHLON MARK C can hit that ball so successfully. Their muscles react automatically to the prop- er grooving of the club and they are not bothered by all the numerous details thrown in. They stand up and swing naturally and the club takes a natural groove.” Inasmuch as Dr. Tayler has reduced his handicap from 10 to 5 within the short space of a couple of years, his theory of the game Is interesting. He is convinced that grooving of the swing is necessary, that intelligence, in the usual sense, is not an aid to fine golf, but that golf brains are an asset. By “golf brains” he means the faculty of saving strokes in situations where the man lacking in golf brains might toss away a couple of strokes. ‘With 200 entries already in hand and with a flood of entries sure to come in today and tomorrow, Chairman Paxton of the golf committee of the Washington Golf and Country Club thinks the entry list for the tournament next week may goto the 300 mark before the dead line at 6 o'clock tomorrow evening. Posi- tively no entries will be accepted after 6 o'clock tomorrow, and pairings will be made immediately so they may be an- nounced in the newspapers of Sunday morning. The, tourney starts Tuesday with the first half of the qualifying piay. The field is to be split into two sections, with half qualifying Tuesday and the balance scheduled to play Wednesday. Among the prominent players already entered in the event are Albert R. Mac- Kenzie and Donald Woodward of Co- lumbia former winners of the tourney; Frank K. Roesch of Washington, winner last year; Maurice J. McCarthy, jr., win- ner three years ago; Miller B. Stevin- son, the District amateur champion; Dick Wilson, last year’s runner-up, and Henry D. Nicholson, the club champion. Albert MacKenzie played the course yesterday in 74 strokes in a game with Drs. McGovern and Bradley and Lester C. Pate. Chairman Paxton is making every effort to balance the fields on the two qualifying days so the scores turned in one day will not be appreciably lower than those turned in on the other quali- fying day. To date, however, many of the better players have asked that they be permitted to qualify on the last quali- fying day. James G. Drain of Washington, former holder of the junior club title, tied for first place in the trials played last week at Olympia Fields, near Chicago, for places on the University of Chicago golf team, according to word received by Ralph A. Drain, his father. The younger Drain is one of the best golfers at the Washington club, and although he is in his sophomore year at Chicago U. he is hailed as among the best players at the Windy City school.

Roland R. MacKenzie, Walker Cup team member from the Columbia Coun- try Club, is to make a flying visit to ‘Washington tomorrow to_visit his par- ents before he sails next Wednesday for England with his associates on the in- ternational golf team. He probably will not have time to play golf here, as he is due back in New York the following day for practice at Southampton, where Capt. Bob Jones will gather his team members for two day’s practice over the rugged course of the National Golf Lin! of America. . ‘There was & lot of wind at Indlan Spring yesterday, but it did not deter J. Monro Hunter, the club pro, from collecting a trio of birdies on the last five holes of the first nine in a game with_A. Von Steinner. Starting at the ffth, Hunter played the last five holes in'3, 3, 4, 4, 2, which is three under par. o ——F bankrupt T thousands of $3.50 Genuine Ford Locking Cap $1.49 All chromium plated— made by the Ford Factory.

The holes chosen were 2, 5, 6, and 9 on the first nine, and 11, 14, 15, 17 and 18 on the second nine. The competitors did not know which were the selected holes until they had completed their round. Mrs. B. G. Simpich finished second with 55, and Mrs. A. Von Steinner won the consola- tion prize with a score of 68. Weal conditions curtailed the fleld.
