THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C C-3 Fear Is Expressed That U.S. Will Burn Out Track Resources Prior to Olympics PLENTY OF TALENT IF 715 CONSERVED Fitzpatrick, Famous Trainer, Warns Against Costly Procedure of Past. BY GRANTLAND RICE. HE United States has had a poor track record in Olympic games for some time back and it is no cer- # tainty the record will see any great improvement at Los Angeles in August. The talent is there from the 100 meters to the 1500 meters, but, after all, a pair of human legs can handle only so much running before they begin to wobble and flop. There is still a big chance ahead that most of our stars will be run out before the Olympic show-down arrives. “No runner can stand up under the burden we place on most of our col- lege stars,” Keene Fitzpatrick said a few days ago. As Keene hasn’t missed a day's work at Yale, Michigan or Princeton in' 42 years—dating back to 1890—he ought to know. “We have too many college competi- tions for our runners,” Fitzpatrick says, “and by the middle of the Summer most of them have lost the keen edge needed for an Olympic victory. This happened in 1924 and again in 1928. I believe it will happen once more in 1932. Unless relief is given to some of the leading running stars they will be well below championship form when the real test comes. Case of Eastman. Tl-l!s seems true all the way through. Take the case of Ben Eastman, Stanford’s record-breaking quarter and half miler. Eastman has already had a busy Spring. There are the dual meets with Southern California and California ahead, where the rivalry is keen. After this the intercollegiate and the Olympic trials are to be held and then follow the Olympic games. Eastman is a great runner, but he isn't the most rugged athlete in the world. He can-stand only so much. It isn't the fault of the coaches who have these competitions to face. It would be difficult for a coach to leave one of his sure point winners off the team against an old rival. It would be difficult for a coach to keep a sure point winner out of the intercollegiate .games, set for early July. The same condition applies to Prank ‘Wykoff and other sprinters, who have 20 many hard heats to face before the final race is run. And there is little ?ofwnlly to loaf today in the midst so much speed. There are toc many fast sprinters who can.travel within a half stride of a world record on cer- are .needed to b on mental and nerve staleness, from which | Tecovery is none too rapid. The Dizzy Start. THIS preliminary period before the next set of Olympic games has| been the dizziest ever known. Eastman and Venzke have already broken three world records. Spitz has cracked another. Others have been running in vecord time. One trouble is that more than 70 per cent of our Olympic athletes come from the colleges. And most of the colleges have fairly busy track sched- ules, including traditional dual meets and then the intercoliegiate games. This schedule, when hooked up with | the Olympic trial program, is a trifie more than most runners can iace. When Eastman broke records at the 440 and ‘the half-mile he must have been close to his keéenest edge. No run- ner, otherwise, is breaking records. But he still faces a lot'of hard running be- fore getting his chance against the foreign pick. The same is true of Wykoff and other deading runners from the Far West, the Middle West, the East and the South. Venzke Is Different. 'HIS will not apply to Gene Venzke. Venzke 1s not yet in college, so he will have no dual meets and no Intercollegiate games to face. He will enter the metropolitan championship, but he ean elect his own program. He wil: have the advice of Mike Sweeney. Hill School’s able athletic director, and he is almost sure to be at his best when the 1500-meter test comes along at Los Angeles. There is little questioning the fact that Eastman could still lower the quarter and the half-mile records—or the 400 and 800 meter records—if the Stanford and the Olympic schedules were not in the way. When the final Olympic trials are held in California around the middle of July, with only a select list surviving in each event, there will be little chance to loaf. These final trials will be as hard as the Olympic games. when you consider the quantity and the® quality of the field It should be remembered again that this is not the fault of the college coaches and trainers, who know their stuff to a high degree. It is the heavy schedule which must be faced that does most of the damage. A Lesson at Paris, N 1924 at Paris the United States won cne track event from the 100 meters to the marathon. British runners won the 100, 400 and 800 meter races, Nurmi and his fellow Pinns took charge of the others from 1,500 meters on. In 1928. at Amsterdam, Barbuti of Svra- cuse was our oply winner in the running game. That isn’t much of a showing over two Olympic meets It should be much better at Los Angeles, but it may nct be a great deal better with the kill. ing schedule coaches and runners have to face with only brief periods of rest (Copyright. 1932 by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

The style of Tommy Creavy, Pro- fessional Golf Association champion, ciearly shows two very important facts in relation to the movement of the arms in the g—facts which the duffer must alway First, he keeps th to the body on the ving. Secondly, he keeps the right arm close to the body on the downswing. If the left arm be kept close to the body on the backswing, it assists the pivot. The only way in which a full swing can be obtained then is by turning the body: otherwise the arm cannot go back The right arm close to the body on the downswirg bars it from taking control anc keeps the club- head inside the direction line.

Yes, | sir, it'll be Central this year, unless the marks spill the beans.” Mike doesn’t expect Tech to do a whole lot. The meet will be held May 27 in the Cen- tral Stadium. Mike does not attach real importance | to Eastern's showing against_ Episcopal | the other day when the Lincoln Parkers gave the Alexandrians considerable of a tussle. He says that this cannot ho‘ | used as a gauge to predict how Eastern will fare in the public high school meet | in view of the different conditions that mark the affairs, Meanwhile, though, Mike has the Easterners stepping, determined that the Lincoln Parkers will not relinquish their title without a bitter struggle. Today an interclass meet was on at Eastern to stimulate interest in field and track, and the Lincoln Parkers are planning to compete in three meets be- fore the high school affair, a dual affair with the University of Maryland fresh- men next Wednesday at College Park. the Maryland scholastics May 7 at Col- | lege Park and the “C” Club meet, May 21, in Central Stadium. If the public high school base ball teams put on more games like that 10- inning affair in which Central con- quered Western, 8 to 6, yesterday the attendance at the series games doubt- less would be much larger. The victory | put Central ahead by a rather good | margin in the series with two wins and | no defeats, and Eastern, which has not | et opened series play, now is regarded | as the only serious obstacle left in Cen- tral’s path to the flag. Tech is not fig- | ured likely to furnish Central a great | deal of opposition Yesterday's game was one of the best the series has offered in recent seasons. Western rallied in the traditional seventh to score three runs off the de- | livery of Johnny De Bettencourt, who | relieved Exnmett Buscher in the fifth in- ning, and tie the score at six-all. Then | after neither team scored in the eighth nor the ninth, and there were two down in Central’s tenth, the Columbia Heights boys got busy. Cooke walked, stole sec- ond and dashed home on Raub's single. Raub soon afterward counted when Bits Keyser singled. De Bettencourt set Western down in order in its half of the inning.

In past years not many of the senior golfers of ‘Washington have gone to the United States senior championships. A few have played these events, largely from Chevy Chase, but in view of the expanded activities of seniors in golf competition this year, probably there will be several entries from Washington clubs in the national seriors' tourney, And don't let the idea run away with | you that the seniors can’t knock a golf ball around any golf course in the Ridsdale and Griffith are tough customers on any man's golf course, but Gen.
