MARK BEATEN BY HIM IN TRIAL Among Three Former Trojan Stars Who Are Drilling for- 1932 Games. BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, June 12.—Three University of Southern Cali- fornia Trojans of track fame, two veterans of the 1923 Olympic games, have donned the abbreviated track armor again, preparing themselves for the cam- paign for the 1932 United States international team. Clarence (Bud) Houser, who set & mew Olympic record of 155 feet 2% inches for the discus at Amsterdam; Lee Barnes, present holder of the pole wvault record at 14 feet 12 inches, and Jesse Mortensen, cne of Troy's greatest three-letter men, are the three mus- keteers. Strange as it may seem, Mortensen, who failed to win a place on the 1928 team, appears to be the greatest poten- tial prospect as a decathlon man. Houser is faced with the embarrassing fact that Eric Krenz and Paul Jessup have hurled the discus more than 10 feet beyond his Olympic record. rnes placed fifth in the 1928 games’ pole vault, and even though he was in retirement two years has but his way back to 13 Teet 11 mch&s this Spring. His come-back trail does not appear to be so long as that facing Houser, for no one has eclipsed his mark. Mortensen flashed back into the plc- ture recently by runnmg through the ten decathlon events to gain a total of aolu points, 224.72 better than the g American record and only 33.89 Short of the world mark set at Amster- dam by the Finn, Paavo Yrjola. The performance s ail the more re- markable in view of wne fact that Mortensen threw the javelin only 181 feet, whereas ha won the National A. U. title in 1929 in this event with & tcss of more than 204 feet. Mortensen, in addition to his track activities, was a good backfield man on the foot ball squad and a great center on the 1930 Pacific Coast conference championship basket ball team, ‘The former Trojans will all compete for the Los Angeles Athletic Club in . A. U. meet at Lincoln y. Here is Mortensen’s records for his Tecent test: 100 meters—11 second. 400 meters—52.2 seconds. 1,500 meters—5 minutes 1.4 second. 110-meter hurdles—15.4 seconds. Shotput—43 feet 51; inches. Discus—136 feet 6 inches. Brcad jump—21 feet 3 inches. High jump—>5 feet 93; inches. Pole vault—10 feet 6 inches. Javelin—181 feet.
