SPORTS. New Marks Are Expected in Several Events of Southern Conferen CLASSDEPAYED IN DUAL CONTESTS Lauck, Hubbard and Legore Known to Be Capable of Record Efforts. BY H. C. BYRD. HILE several Southern Conference track and| field records appear un- | touchables as far as probable performances in the championships Saturday are con- | cerned, it does seem that in some events there are chances for new ones to be set up. Especially is this true of the mile and two-mile runs, in which existing marks have already been surpassed this Spring in dual competition. The best outlook any athlete has (o| create a new record is that of Lauck of | Virginia. For all Southern Conference meets, the mile record is 4 minutes 21.2 | seconds, and there seems no doubt.that | Lauck has ability to lower this time. Last week in a meet with Navy he cov- cred the distance in 4 ininutes 15.7 sec- | onds to defeat Hardman, Navy's star, and this week at Durham he can run 5 seconds slower than that and still| have some margin to spare. 'WO North Carolina men would seem | to have the next best chance,| based_on their performances this | season. Hubbard, in a dual meet with Navy, won the 2-mile run in 9 minutes 471 'seconds, six-tenths of a second | faster than the Conference record. With stern competition, if he gets that. | Hubbard ought to lower the present | mark. LeGore, in the javelin throw, is | the other Tarhcel who may come | through with high honors. He is the | one athlete who will be striving against | himself, as the present record of 195 | feet 35 'inch was made by him in win- ning the event last year. He has been tossing the spear around that mark all Spring, and to see him beat himself, so 10 speak, wouid not be a surprise. Shellaberger is another North Caro- lina_athlete who has been hitting at a conference record in the dual meets, as he has thrown the discus a few inches over 140 feet. while the record is only 142 feet 9 inches. Of course, that extra 2 feet is a long distance | when a discus thrower is trying to| reach it. | i OLES of Virginia. Turner of Vir- ginia Polyetechnic Institute, Wid- myer of Maryland a other ath- letes within striking distances of new records. The 47 feet 7!, inches which now stands as the record in the shot- 7 to be beaten, but Coles getting up fairly close to that | heaves around 46 feet. But, the as in the discus, that extra foot two of distance usually might just well be a mile. Turner of V. P. I is the only athlete in the section who has been clearing 6 feet in the high jump, as far as records for this season are available, | but he has not been getting within ! 2 inches of the 6 feet 23, inches, which has stood since 1928 as the highest jump ever made by a Southern Con- ference athlete. Widmyer of Maryland, seems to have the best chance to crack the 100-yard dash mark, although he has not this season been closer than a tenth of a | second to the 9.8 which first was set by Foster of V. M. I in 1925 and later equaled by Hamm of Georgia Tech and Wisner of Virginia. With a fast track | and a cry still day, Widmyer may take | the 100 mark down to 9.6 or 9.7, if | the event And if anybody is ough to beat him that athlete | | NE record which is almost without | reason to expect anybody to come even near reaching is the 25 feet inches for the broad jump, set by 1 of Georgia Tech in 1928.

HICAGO, May 17.—King Levin- sky and Tuffy Griffiths, Sioux City, Iowa, heavyweight, lhave agreed to terms for a 10-round Lout June 2, and this time the King is out to get more than a beating ‘They met in the Chicago Stedium about two years ago, and so eager were Mrs. Lena Levy and the King for the match that they guaranteed Griffith $25,000.

ASHINGTON'S hopes of wit- nessing the rise of another battling Bowen in Ray, last of the fighting family, wers considerably slimmer today following the 55-second knockout of the slim, handsome youngster last night by Roy Manley, in one of the two feature bouts at Portner’s Arena. A clever boxer and a smart puncher in his own right, Ray for some time has been suspected of possessing what is known to the fistic trade as a glass jaw. Manley proved, with one sweep of his potent left hand, the rumors were well founded. Bounding {rom his corner, Ray, the boxer, landed a flurry of rights and MARSHALL RETURNS TO MAT SPOTLIGHT Colorado Star and Davis, Neither Beaten Here, Likely to “Steal Show” Tomorrow. VERETT MARSHALL, smooth- working Colorado grappler, was sidetracked in favor of Ernie Dusek when came Jim Londos’ turn to visit these parts, but now, with Ernie tempo- rarily out of the way, the blond West- ern star who holds two wins over Starngler Lewis promises to be very much in the local mat spotlight. Although the presence of Dick Shikat and the prospect of the former title holder pitting his skill against the roughhousing of Frank Speers appears to be overshadowing Marshall's appear- | golfers, cooly surveyed them a moment | ance, Everett and his opponent, Karl Davis, are in a spot to steal the show lefts on the Ark-nras southpaw. They broke frem a clinch and Roy shot 8| left hook to the Bowen jaw. Ray went | down, striking his head on the canvas. | Gallantly he strove to regain his feet, but after achieving a near kneeling position. he slumped back to the canvas for the quickest knockout in the history of the Alexandria fight club. HE other feature failed to pan out | as a feature. Berny Schwartz, who was to fight Le Roy Dougan, turnec | up with a bad eye, and Eddie Burl, who | once figured in one of the most thrill- ing bouts ever staged across the river, was substituted. Just to display his versatility, perhaps, he figured in one of the worst last night | Dcugan was no great shucks, either, although he was given a unanimous decision. For eight rounds they tugged and mauled at close quarters, both re- sorting to “heeling.” Neither appeared capable of punching his way through one of those old-fashicned, glass-beaded portieres. The unanimous decision, however, came as quite & Surprise. Many thought Burl had won. HE winner of last night's original bantamweight fight—which was to | have becn Schwartz vs. Dougan— was to be matched next week with Midget Wolgast, flyweight champion of the world. Wolgast last night could have licked both Dugan and Burl and given a rope-skipping exhibition as a simultaneous added attraction. The two six-round preliminaries pro- duced most of the action. Harry Ker- sey was credited with the first knock- out ever scored over young Bob Lowry when he forced the local youngster to quit at the end of four rounds. Two cuts were opened under Lowry's eyes, causing Referee Charlie Short to stop the bout. Kersey was far ahead on points. In the other bout Ken Overlin of Norfolk deci ly outpointed Walter Kirkwood of Washington. 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STAR. LARK GRIFFITH, manager of Washington team, has bought George Mullin, pitcher from Detroit. Jean Dubuc pitched Detroii to a 5-2 win over the Nationals. Tom Hughes and Drohan hurled for ‘Washingtoen, Drohan is to be shipped back to the minors. Tech defeated Central yesterday in the public high school diamond series. Both are out of the title running.
