SP ORTS: THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1931. SPORTS. D—3 Stars From Smaller Colleges May Make Presence Felt in National Collegiates O v OVER 80 SCHOOLS T0 HAVE ENTRANTS Favorites Will Have to Be at Best to Carry Off Title Honors. P BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. HICAGO, June 4—One of the most interesting fea- tures of the national col- legiate track and field meet to be staged at Stagg Field here Saturday is that it quite often produces outstanding in- dividual stars from smaller col- leges whose athletic fame seldom extends beyond their own pro- vincial sectors. More than 80 universities and col- leges will be represemfed in the trials of the national collegiates, and while Southern @alifornia is being nominated as a certain winner, the Trojans will have another hard pull similar to the one experienced in the I. C. 4-A. at Philadelphia. ‘The best known sprinters in the country obviously are Frank Wykoff of Southern California _and Eddie Tolan of Michigan. Yet Medley of South- western Oklahoma has a mark of :0.9.4 in the century, which equals the fast- est time of the Trojan wind burner. Klaner of Kansas has done :0.95 in the 100 and :20.8 in_the 220, while Swift of Washington State and Glass of Oklahoma A. and M. both have traveled the century in :0.9.5 this Spring. In the 220 such men as Rat- Iff of Daniel Baker, Sickle of Kansas, Tierney of Marquette and Elwell of the Kansas Aggies all have traveled fast enough to be dangerous competitors for Tolan in that race. Upsets Are Likely. Vic Williams of Southern California is the favorite to win the 440-yard dash after his :47.4 in the I. C. 4-A. But a slow start might give James Gor- don of Miami, Lagerquist of Iowa or Joyce of Alabama a chance to win. Earl Labertow of Iowa State, Jess Markle of Fresno State, Yeager of De- troit and Van Laningham of Drake are some of the dark steeds in the half . The Leland Stanford Giants, who, | m; under the sagacious tutoring of Robert louis Templeton, have a habit of monopolizing the weight events, are likely to be rebuffed in the shotput at the pational. Hugh Rhea, the Univer- sity of Nebraska foot ball star, has hurled the lead ball 51 feet 23 inches this year, and that is considerably bet- | N¢ ter than the winning distance in the L |G, C. 4-A. or any of the Midwestern meets of the Spring. Munn of Minnesota and Behr of Wisconsin also will be strang contestants against the Stan- ford men and Bob Hall of Southern Calffornia. H The pole vault should be one of the | Hixs features of the Chicago meet. Graber of Southern California did 14 feet and one-half inch at the I.C.A.A.A. A, but | will have opposition from Tom Warne of since suffering a fractured ankle bone | R! last Summer and as he has about re- gained his full speed he should give the | Tyojan a fierce tussle. | Many Clever Jumpers. ‘Tomson of Nebraska has the best | Lroad jump of the year, leaping 25 feet €', inches in the Big Six meet, while Gordon of Towa did 25 feet 43 inches In the Kansas relays. Mell and Morris of Oklahoma Medley of Southwestern and Timberlake of Washington are among the other leading jumpers. Spencer of Geneva has gone 6 feet § inches in the high jump and Jones of Ball Teachers, Brady of Louisville, Russell of Bradley Tech and Schreder of Kansas Teachers all have done bet- ter than the 6 feet 3% inches that won | Spro in_the nationals last year. Not all of the boys from obscure col- leges will deliver in the national col- legiates, but some of them will and it is that possibility that gives added interest the meet and makes Southern Cali- fornia’s task all the harder. SIGN 5-YEAR GRID PACT Notre Dame and Carnegie Tech Athletic Directors Act. PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 4 (#).— Contracts embracing a five-year foot ball agreement between Carnegie Tech and Notre Dame were tucked away today. Jess Harper, new athletic director at Notre Dame, and Clarence Overend, Skibo graduate manager, talked things over here and as a result games are m\;rud every year up to and including The Ramblers and Carnegle meet | here next October 31. The 1932 game | will be at South Bend. | HAS OLYMPIC PROSPECT | Canada Finds High-Jump Star in Scholastic Athlete. | CORNWALL, Ontario, June 4 (.| —A new Olympic prospect for Can- | ada was uncovered in the preliminary trials of the Dominion interscholastic | championships, in Ollie Holland, col- ored athlete from Hamilton. Holland leaped 21 feet 11 inches on his first trial in the running broad jump and then soared to 23 feet| 2 inches on his next. With over a year | to develop, it was believed Holland could jump with the best of them. OWEN A PHENOM. A year ago this time Marvin Owen was getting his diploma from Santa Clara College.

Now forestry is a mighty valuable profession. So is agronomy, which is the art of cultivating the ground. ‘The country would be in a bad way if young men were not studying forestry and agriculture. But boys seeking to enter the United , States Military Academy or the Naval Academy who have thus specialized are out of luck. They must have gone to the lmit cf higher mathematics, certain foreign languages, certain branches of the arts and physics, Collegians who have not done this have no chance of entering the service academies. W. GARNER SET DOWN Jockey’s License Lifted for Foul- ing Tactics at Washington Park. CHICAGO, June 4 ().—Jockey Willie Garner probably will be on the ground for a long stretch for his fouling tactics in the third race at Washington Park resterday. i The famous member of the famous Garner jockey family was up on Tellico, odds-on™ favorite in the June Time Purse at five furlongs, yesterday. Com- ing into the stretch, he grabbed at Jockey C. E. Allen, up on Marcasite. Tellico came in first by & nose, but the stewards disqualified Tellico and gave the race to Marcasite. Garner's li- cense was taken up. It was the first disciplinary action of the Washington Park meeting, which opened May 25. BOSWELL PIGEON FIRST Scores Over a Field of 608 in 500- Mile Contest.

Stribling and Sthmeling are now entering the more important stages of their training periods for the Clevelaud party. In fact, most of them are busy except Jack Sharkey, whose only consolation is that his man, Erne Schaaf, stopped Maloney in 1 minute and 10 seconds, when Carnera could make no headway in 60 minutes against him. Sharkey will have to be tossed into the picture before long, for while there is no glo- rious history connected with his ring achievements, the same can be said of all the others. And there are too many who still believe Sharkey is the best of the lot. Thc’:i part of the debate must still be ved.

HESE are hectic days for Babe Ruth. He is beginning to know and feel the sufferings of the kings. Last Fall it was Hack Wilson who sud- denly jumped in and removed his home-run_crown. This season it is the amazing Chuck Klein who is setting a terrific pace, which may never be stopped. The powerful Chuck has been a home-run hitter for two seasons. But when he opened the 1931 show with two homers he issued his warning to the Babe, Hack and all others. In his double broadside at the Cincinnati Reds, lifting’ his total at that point to 13. Chuck is not only after the season's leadership, but also Babe Ruth's record of 60 in a season. Hornsby calls him the most improved ball player he has seen for a long time. And this means in flelding 2s well as in hitting. The bistoric Babe is doing pretty well on his own account, but he is finding it a tough job to face some new chal- lenger every year.

And don't fol get that Wykoff got a perfect start. ‘They both did. And Wykoff nearly always get a perfect start, as he is one of the fastest away from the tape in the history of the sprinting game.

'TY GRAND, the favorite, won the Kentucky Derby, and Camero- nian, the big favorite, London Derby. ‘There always will be a big reversal in the way of horseflesh in the minor stakes, but the big ones run fairly true to class.
