SPORTS. . Collegians Try. for DL, Three World Marks With Sprinters Featuring Big Meets STARS CATHERING e Men scncee, INT.C. 4-A MEET Focus on Century, Shotput, and Discus in Games Open- ing Tomorrow. BY ALAN GOULD. Associated Press Sports Editor. AMBRIDGE, Mass., May 29. —If at least three world! records are not buffeted | about in the intercollegi-| ate A.A.A. A.championships start- ing tomorrow in the Harvard Sta- dium, it will not be because of any i lack of rivalry between the two| squads of strong-armed and| swift-legged youth from Stanford | and Southern California. The expected battle between the two | Pacific Coast universities for the team champlonships in this track and field classic, now 54 years old, likely will see | the 100-yard, shotput and discus toss- ing records subjected to the severest ure. Marks in the high jump and m-hurdles also may be toppled 1(‘ the boys sre in top form and the | conditions favorable. Focuses on Century. Frank Wykoff, who has done the g oentury in 9.4 on the Coast without | blocks, is concentrating all his efforts in this event, in which his main rivals will be Eddie Tolan of Michigan, new word's record holder at 9.5, and Hec Dyer, the Stanford star, who beat Wykoff in 9.6 at Los Angeles.

Never- theless he has beaten 52 feet this Spring and is primed for a few mighty heaves, with Krenz to keep him com- | pany. ML o Other Records Loom. Southern _California’s jumpers and hurdlers, relied upon to help the Tro- jans replace the Cardinals as team champions, may do some record-busting of their own. The Trojan high-jump- ers, Van Osdel and Stewart, are capable of 6 feet 5 inches or better. The low hurdlers, Carls and Payne, have touched record time and will be hard to beat. California has a star in Capt. Al Pogolotti. Yale's captain, Sid Kiesel- horst, winner of the 220-yard low: hurdles for the past two years, is a doubtful performer, having just re- covered from an operation for ap- pendicitis. ‘The battle for team honors has two distinct aspects, with Southern Cali- fornia and Stanford fighting for first place, and the remainder of the fleld scrambling for third position. Penn- vania, Cornell and Harvard will be lnduCIlfl’omn in dogen entries, with strength in the dis- tance running events.

The awards were given out by Jack Tulloch, sports editor of the Alexander Gazette, at the annual Spring athletic assembly. Capt. Wilson Sinclair, Jeff Williams, Hugh Travers, Pete Willlams, Louis Schreiner, William Stone, Harry Sper- ling, Curtis Backus and Manager J. C.

The base ball team turned in one of the best records ever hung up the Maroon and White on the diamond, winning 10 of its 14 games, 8 of which Wwere won consecutively. Capt. Hugh Travers was rendered inactive after first game with a broken ankle, but his mates carried on without him and swamped some of the best scholastic teams in this section. In basket ball the Big Reds copped the third district title, but lost out in the class B State finals. In track the Alexandrians were second in the third district meet and also finished runners- 1.

LEXANDRIA, Va., May 20.—One | of the liveliest, holiday programs | arranged by local base ball teams in recent years will be | four sparkling games scheduled, three | of which will be played for the benefit | of the Joe Judge day fund. In the benefit contests the Cardinal i A. C. will play Hume Springs on Hay- | don Field, Del Ray A. C. will enter- tain Fort George Meade tossers of Fort George Meade, Md., at Edward Duncan Fleld and the Clover A. C. will battle the Cardinal Seniors of Washington in Baggett's Park.

Capt. Lester Scott will pitch for the locals, who will be seeking their seventh straight victory. Vincent: Bradley or Carroll Rush will be nominated to face the Fort Meade Soldiers for Del Ray tomorrow. The unfortunate Del Ray team is hoping for a break that will give it its first victory of the year. The Potomac tossers have dropped six straight games, five of them by margins of one run. Old Dominion Boat Club will send two representatives to the annual busi- ness meeting of the Middle States Re- gatta Association, at the Penn A. C. in Philadelphia, Saturday night in an ef- fort to land the annual regatta of tbat association for Labor day.

WO of the greatest sprint| races since Atalanta paused to pick up Milanion’s gold- en apples are to take place in America this week and next. Up at Soldier Field tomorrow and Friday three of the best men in the world will streak down the hundred-yard straightaway, and the following week at Chicago in| the national collegiate champion- | ships five or six and possibly | seven may strive for a prize, a world title, that may be as last- | ing as that which Paris presented | to Aphrodite. | That golden apple, the prize of beau caused Aphrodite to live even until day as Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, and it is not impos- sible that the man who first breasts the tape in one of these events in lat- | ter-day America may set a standard | |for short racing that in this fleld will |stand for all time as the acme of human physical endeavor. Sprinters Vie at Harvard. This week at Harvard it will be Dyer of Stanford University, Wyckoff ~of Southern California and Tolan of Mich- igan who strive for honors. Tolan has run at least one century dash in 9.5 seconds, faster time than is credited to any other man, and he may have an- other such record in him, although only once or twice in a lifetime does an ath- lete get himself in hand sufficiently for the one supreme endeavor that stamps him as a world leader. Dyer and Wyckoff have been running the dis- tance in 9.4, 9.5 and 9.7 this Spring and are claimed by many to be the two fastest men in the world. What they may accomplish at Cambridge remains to be seen, but almost anything is pos- sible. There are few who do not ex- pect of intercollegiate A. A. A. A. record of 9.7 seconds to fall. And if anything may happen in the intercollegiates at Harvard, the same is true to an even greater degree in the meet to be held at Chicago in June, in which all colleges may enter men. This century at Chicago may bring together not only the runners mentioned in the foregoing paragraph, but also George Simpson of Ohlo State, Leland and Bracey of Texas and Rice Institute and | one or two other men who do not gen- erally measure up to these, but who are good enough to flash a brilliant per- | formance under the right conditions, ‘West Has Monopoly. Certain it is that the West, consider- |ing as the West that whole section |lying west of the Alleghanies, has a monopoly on the fast men, as the East seems to have no sprinter capable of competing with any .of the best men that represent the Middle Western and Far Western universities. As far as the intercollegiates tomor- row and Saturday are concerned, it is felt generally that the University of Southern California has the best “hance for -victory, with Stanford Uni- versity next in line.

Sears of Boston, play for the trophy will be heid in the Middle At- lantic section when representative teams of the four Atlantic sections meet in Baltimore on June 6 and 7. The matches will be played at the Baltimore Country Club, starting each afternoon at 2:30 o'clock daylight sav- ing time, or at 1:30 Eastern standara time. Teams included in the series are being recruited now from the New Eng- land, Eastern, Middle States and Middle Atlantic sections. Try-outs are being held in Baltimore to determine the personnel of the Middle Atlantic sec- | tional squad. This will be selected from the ranking players of Washington, Baltimore, Norfolk and Richmond. Penelope Anderson of Richmond, rank- ing star of this section, who has made an international name for herself, will head the team, undoubtedly. Eight of the Washington players are trying out for position in a round- robin series now in progress at Colum- bia Country Club. These include Phoebe Moorhead, Ruth Martinez, Josephine Dunham, Mrs. Nathan Wyeth, Mrs. John Newbold, Dorothy _Kingsbury, Helen Sinclair and Mary Ryan. Mrs. ‘Wyeth and Mrs. Newbold, both of Chevy Chase Club, are newcomers in local net circles who are looked upon as excellent, material. Frances Krucoff, ranking D. C. racketer, will not compete for the team. Champion Team Weakened. Three players will be selected from this actet to go to Baltimore within the next few days for the final inter- city tr{-ouu‘ following which the Mid- dle Atlantic squad will be named—six Tegulars and perhaps one or two sub- stitutes. The same preliminaries are being run off in the other Atlantic sec- tions prior to the naming of teams. Speculation is rife up in Boston as to who will fill the places left by the Palfry sisters, Mianne and Sarah, who are now playing in Europe. Their ab- sence is sure to be felt by this team, which now holds the cup. It has been only in the past three years that Middle Atlantic section has been included in the series, play being originally confined to the three other groups. A large contingent of Washington fans is expected to make the most of this opportunity to see many of the leading feminine stars on the Eastern horizon in action. Season tickets at $2 are being sold at Spalding’s Sports Shop, 1333 G street, and at the Tennis Shop, 1013 Fifteenth street, Dally ad mission is $1.50.
