\ C-Z TARHEELS' DEFEAT BY TIGERS TIPOFF Conference Meet Favorite Easy Viciim—Terrapin Stickers Recover. BY H. C. BYRD. OUTHERN schools may claim that their foot ball teams play just as well and that their nines are fully as strong as those that represent Northern universities, but track and field athletics seems to be one sport in which the Northern in- stitutions are so far ahead as to leave hardly any room for com- arison. P ake, for instance, the dual meet be- tween North Carolina and Princeton Saturday; notwithstanding that North Carolina is picked to win the Southern Conference championship this week and stands generally far anead of other Southern teams in dual meets, it was 80 easily beaten by Princeton as to indi- cate that the best the South has to offer in the way of a track team simply was ot in the running Princeton beat the Tarheels by 8035 to 4515, which just about tells the tale. That tale simpiy is that the best team in the South could not eyen make inter- esting competition for one of the big Northern schocs, and that the South has a long wa¢ tQ go in track and fleld athletics before it can compete on any- thing like even terms with its Northern friends. If North Carolina wins the Southern Conference championship this week, and right now no other school looms strong enough to give any indication that any other outcome may be expect- ed, the result will not show particularly well for Southern track sports. It has been known that a margin was held by the North, but it was felt that North Carolina this year had such a fine team, judged by the way it has been cleaning up in the South, that it was good enough to give some of the Northern schools a battle. But what happened at Prince- ton makes those that desire to see track athletics in the South reach much higher standards realize that there is considerable distance to go before North- ern schools can be met successfully. Only one contest is scheduled here to- day for a local college, Mount St. Mary’s being listed to appear in a base ball game with Catholic University. On the recent trip to Emmitsburg the Brook- landers took a beating from the Mountaineers, but have hopes that this afternoon’s cpntest may place things on an even basis, Lou Hurley probably will do the pitching for the Brookland- ers, and, if he is right, should come near winning. ‘University of Maryland's lacrosse team came back Saturday with a vengeance, when it went up to Philadelphia and trimmed Pennsylvania by 15 to 2. The Old Line twelve must have played a lot better lacrosse than when they lost to St. John's & little more than a week ago, as Penn is one of the three teams that was strong enough to take the measure of Oxford-Cambridge when it played in this country. Probably the most noteworthy mark made in the quadrangular track and field meet in which Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee took part Saturday at Blacksburg was the shotput distance achieved by Swart of V. P. I. That young gentleman hurled the brass sphere 45 feet 41 inches. So far this year no other athlete has tossed the shot near enough to that mark to indicate that anybody has a chance to beat Swart in the champion- ship meet at Birmingham this week mg It may be that Swart will create & new Southern record, as the mark, held for several years by Beers of Maryland, is only & couple or 80 inches farther than the distance reached by Swart last week. 1¢ is not likely that any of the track squads in the South Atlantic section will be represented in the Southern Conference meet by full squads except North Carolina, the likely victor. Vir- ginia, Washington and Lee, Virginia Polytechnic_Institute, Virginia Military Institute, North Carolina State, Duke and Maryland, comprising the South Atlantic contingent, are likely to pick | a few of their best men and send them. Maryland is to be represented by only PORTS. STANFORDS GREATEST mngl" WflflgcRECENTLY WORLDS RSPeE OF S2FT.1 W, F Metrvpolun Newepaper Servien ‘WO years ago, before Ralph Rose’s long-standing world record in the shotput of 51 feet had been broken by Kuck, Hirschfeld and Brix, a young man by the name of Harlow Rothert was tossing the 16-pound brass ball out at Stanford University and hop- ing some day to surpass Rose's mark. He came East to the I C. 4 A. meet at Cambridge in 1928 and made the s=cond 50-foot put in the history of the games a few minutes after his teammate, Eric Krenz, had made the first one. And a few weeks later he made the Olympic team, but failed to place at Amsterdam. But by that time the record had been shoved up to 52 feet and a fraction of an inch by Johnny Kuck. Last May Rothert made his third trip East (he had come the end of November with tne Stanford foot ball team that beat the Army, 26 to 0, at the Yankee Stadium, in one of the greatest offensive displays ever put on in any gridiron) and this time he not only beat his team- mate Krenz but also broke Krenz's L C. 4 A. record of the year before, HYATTSVILLE PLAYS ALEXANDRIA FRIDAY HYATTSVILLE, Md, May 12— Hyattsville High School’s base ball team, which has won 12 of its 14 games this season, has only one contest scheduled this week. This is with Alexandria High, to be played on the Riverdale field Friday afternoon. However, it is expected that Hyatts- ville, which recently won the title in the loop made up of high school nines in the upper section of Prince Georges County, will meet the victor in the lower section circuit in a game to de- cide the county title before the week is over. Hyattsville's game with Alexandria will mark the second meeting of the :lnu this lmn. H’.y.lmvfllt having ored over irginians not long ago at Alexandria. B A game scheduled here Tuesday be- tween Hyattsville and St. Alban's of ‘Washington has been canceled. Hrattovie All‘Stass v -Stars downed the fast Wylllhlnflan ‘Terminal Co. team, 7 to 1, yesterday on the River- dale diamond. "Tom Mudd, winnin pitcher, gave up only six hits, three o which were made in the third inning, when the Washingtonians scored their lone run. Hyattsville got to Paul Brand, Terminal hurler, for four hits, which, with a walk, gave it five runs in the first inning. Hargett for Hyattsville stglckded a ghomer with one on in the rd. Pierce A. O. base ballers of Hyatts- two men, Linzey in the half mile and Kinnamon in the 220-yard hurdles. It is felt that both these men, if they are at their best, have a chance to win their events. Linzey ought to run his event in less than two minutes and Kinnamon should get the hurdle mark down close to 24 seconds. ‘There has been a disposition on the part of Amateur Athletic Union offi- cials not to look with favor on appli- cations for a world record for the 100- yard dash when that event is run in 92-5 seconds. That mark has been at- tained several times, but officials who || have charge of allowing records have turned cold shoulders toward it. Rector of the University of Virginia was said to have done the distance in that time as long as 18 or 20 years ago. More recent ds the time made by Simpson of Ohio State, and last Saturday along comes Frank Wycoff of Southern Cali- fornia with the same time. This mark will be set some time under such con- ditions that officials will not be able to find any excuse for not granting it, although, of course, this is not in any way attaching blame to officials for being conservative in accepting as offi- clal a record such as this.

But he still had his eye on the world record. Last Fall he was a big factor in the Cardinals’ defeat of the Army team in the Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, his booming spirals leading directly to two scores for Pop Warner's team. ‘Which brings us down to 1930, not forgetting to mention that in the meantime Rothert has twice cap- tained the Stanford basket ball team. (He hates to be idle, this baby!) Harlow gave promise early in March that he was in for a big season with the 16-pound sphere when he defeated Herman Brix in & dual meet with the Los Angeles Athletic Club, he, Brix and Krenz all putting farther than Rose's former world record. Against U 8. C. he did 51 35-100 feet: against Califor- nia, 103%. On April 26, against Washington, he won with 51, 4%, and immediately after the meet took a plane to the Fresno relays, where, that same evening, he beat Brix again with a put of 51 feet 4! And on May 3, at San Francisco, he smashed the accepted world record with a heave of 52 feet 115 inches. Quite some athlete is Mr. Rothert! WILSON WILL HELP ARMY GRID COACH By the Associated Press. WEST POINT, N. Y., May 12.—Sec- ond Lieut. Harry E. Wilson will report next Fall to assist Maj. Ralph I. Sasse, head coach of the Army foot ball team. ‘Wilson, who was a star halfback at Penn State before he entered West Point and continued his brilliant foot ball career, was duated in 1928. He was assigned to the Army Flying School in Texas and won his wings as a pilot. He has been a member of the crack pursuit group stationed at Selfridge Field. ‘Wilson, who won his letter four times in foot ball at West Point, captained the 1927 team.

STAN. WENTY-FOUR straight! And then in the Twenty-fifth game, Edgar Duvall was beaten by a close margin. That was two years ago, when Duvall was pitching for the Lof- fler team and setting the Indus- trial League afire. Pure grit and a determination to play base ball, in spite of a severe handicap, has made Ed Duvall, Chevy Chase Gray pitcher, one of the most dangerous hurlers in this vicinity. An ambition, which grew with Edgar from the time he first had a base ball in his hand, to play on a real team and win games, was almost broken some years ago when he suffered an injury to his left leg. and for a time it was thought he would never be able to play ball again. He did, however. and in 1928 he hung up nis remarkable record of 24 vic- tories out of 25 games pltched. This year he is making a comeback in the uniform of the Grays, who are en- tered in the Montgomery County sec- tion of the Capital City League and who have been established as one of the favorites to win the flag. Played on Crutch. ‘While winning the Industrial loop flag practically single-handed, this plucky youngster was forced to enter the pitching box with the ald of a crutch, and when he batted some one had to run cut his hits. Although he has di: el mate still runs for him. Duvall is as good a hitter as he is a pitcher, but is robbed of many bingles because of the late start the pinch-runner gets. Following the injury, Duvall, a left- hander, found that it was necessary to develop a style of pitching that would favor his left leg. Painstaking efforts were teken until he was rewarded by a motion that was not only satisfactory to himself but most dissatisfying to rival batters. Duvall throws the ball when off balance with almost a com- plete wrist motion that is puszeling to hitters. Playing with a picked team repre- senting Benning, Ed is said to have held the Baltimore Orioles to a 2-to-1 win. That was just before he com- pilled his record in the Industrial League. Dad Was Ball Player, Young Duvall inherited his base ball ability from his father who was a oitcher in the Eastern League years ago. Facing the Union Printers a week ago in his first appearance this season, Duvall allowed the Typos only one run in the three innings he pitched, and that runner was left on base by the moundsman who preceded him.

Duvall is rated as one of thc best pitchers on local sandlots, gaining this distinction through a plucky fight against a handicap that would cause most players to throw up the sponge. Buck Grier, enterprising Northern A. C. manager, is still adding to his club. His latest recruit is Blackie Elwood, former St. Mary Celtic pitcher, who has just returned from Columbus, Ohio, Where he was playing ball. ‘Hansom Fitzgerald made his first ap- pearance behind the bat for the Red Birds yesterday against the Celtics. Joe Tucci, that jack-of-all-trades ex- traordinary, was shifted the outfield. Fitsgerald, a veteran, has been with the club since the beginning of the season, but needed a longer training period than his teammates. He played with Waynesboro of the Blue Ridge League for six years before coming to Grier's team. Bennie Spigel.

Coach Ty Rauber’s youngsters, who already have been beaten by Business in the public high school base ball championship series, must triumph over Eastern tomorrow in the Central Stadium if the Blue is to remain in the running for the flag. Eastern, which s defending the championship it has won the last two years, is a decided favorite over Central. The Lincoln Parkers have played only one series match, but in that they were impressive in routing Tech, 23 to 4. Central, however, with Capt. George Brandt, third baseman, again on the job following a period of ineligibility and the possibility that Frank Cumberland, steliar second sacker, also may be able to play, is hopeful of springing a sur- prise. ‘Tomorrow's game will start at the usual time, 3:45 o'clock. Jack Edwards, former Tech High track sensation, continues to burn up the cinders at Penn. He won the 440 in 50 6-10 seconds and the 220 in 221-5 as the Quaker yearlings swamped Cor- nell freshmen, 116 to 20, in a dual meet Saturday in Philadelphia. Several Central High athletes are back in town after scoring in the in- terscholastic track meet Saturday at Princeton. Capt. Russ Lampson, who took fifthSplace in the javelin; Reilley, who was fourth in the 440, and Sulli- van, who tled for third place in the high jump, were the wearers of the Blue to gain points. Aside from the Central-Eastern game a dlamond match between Catholic University freshmen and Devitt at Brookland and tennis clashes between ‘Western and the Maryland freshmen at College Park and Georgetown Prep and Friends are carded tomorrow. ‘The Georgetown Prep-Friends test is a Prep School League match.
