OUISVILLE, Ky, February 20— One hundred and fifteen of the Nation's choicest 3-year-olds are nominated for the fifty-eighth running of the Kentucky Derby. ‘The list includes Top Flight, Tick On, Burning Blaze and virtually every other worth-while blue blood of the American turf save Hygro and Fall | | Apple.

By the Assoctated Press. HICAGO, February 20.—A few of King Levinsky's shots may have ashaken Jack Dempsey Thursday night, but they didn't shake the comeback ideas out of the Old Mauler’s head. ‘The tour is geing on just as planned, except that Dempsey will do less hand- | shaking, will be seen less in public out- | side of the ring, and will alter his training routine. After reading accounts of his exhibi- tion with the cocky Kingfish, most of | which sald or inferred “Dimpsey is through,” Jack scowled and said: “So they think I'm through again, |er? Well, I'm not.

Dempsey's next stop will be Louis- ville, Ky. where he will pair with Frankle Wine, Butte, Mont. heavy- weight, in another four-reund exhibi- tion next Tuesday night.

LONG SUCCESSFUL AS TROJAN COACH Turns Out Many Stars, but Gives Credit to Great Material at Hand. BY FRANCES J. POWERS. HICAGO, February 20.—Few track coaches have a rec- ord comparable with that of Dean Cromwell of Southern California University. Few of them have been in the game as long, since it was 22 years ago that Cromwell went to South~ ern California with the mold that has produced so many champions for the Trojans. Men of Troy are expected to play an important role in the forthcoming Olympic games and that makes Cromwell a per- son of much interest. Since 1921, when Troy began to grow in the intercollegiate atrletic world, Cramwell has developed 15 in- tercollegiate champions, 10 national champions, 3 individual world record hoiders and 2 world record-holding re- lay teams. Perhaps there are coaches with a better record, but they are few. Long List of Champions. Cromwell's champions read like @& page torn from the athletic almanac The first was Fred Kelly in the high hurdles, then came Charlie Paddock in the 100-yard sprint, Bud Houser in the shotput and Charlie Borah in the Lee Barnes won for him in the pole vault, Jess Mortensen was a emampion javelin thrower, while Vic Williams and Frank Wykoff were supreme in the sprints.
