T least one of the prospective Olympic ~ come-backs, of which the woods are crowd- ed these days, can be checked off the list. Douglas G. A. Lowe, two-time British winner of the Olympic 800- meter race and as smooth a piece of running machinery as ever stepped on the cinders, has no idea what- ever of defending his laurels at Los Angeles this year. Our London sleuths tracked Lowe to his legal lair, where he made it clear that he was too busy as & bar- rister even to consider an attempt to return to competition. Lowe doubts very much whether he will be able to come to the Great Runner Lawyer to Try Come- United States, as an Olympic spec- tator or official. He can have a job with the British team if he wants it. No greater half-miler nor better sportsman ever trod the track than Douglas Lowe. Slim and handsome, he was the picture of gracefulness in action. He had a tremendous stride, but also superb form. On the boiling hot day at Stam- ford Bridge four years ago, when I saw him run two reclay races, the last one a half-mile anchor “leg” in 1:51, I believe Lowe was the greatest half-miler of all time, Otto Peltzer, Lloyd Hahn, Sera Martin, Ray Watson, Schuyler Efck and other top-notch half-milers were not in Lowe's class when he was in his prime in 1928. ‘The British star retired shortly after the Olympics that year and hasn't sp- peared in competition since, 'LL WAIT TILL THE EIGHT ‘O CLOCK TRAIN AND THEN IF HE DOESN'T COME BACK M AFRAID fLL HAVE TO G o WHOFFORD|, SWINK GIFFUSS MOSSBURG PRONZ REEKMORE BLOTCH | KNOMANORE |f HE 1S ASKED BY A STRANGE TO WATCH A SUITCASE AND MISSES TWO TRAINS 193 N Y TRIBUNE, INE Haas of Gophers Should Be Great APT-ELECT WALTER HAA the U e of M foot ball team will have played under three head coach at the same school when he concludes his varsity career next Fall.
