BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer HICAGO, June —Sweeping over a field studded with| prospective Olympir stars, | athletes from the University of Southern California ran rampant in the national collegiate track and| field championships at Stag Field to- day, in which four world records were eclipsed in the two days of compe- tition. The Trojans, scoring in 14 of the 16 events, amassed a total of 1043 points to annex their second succes- sive championship. Ohio State, led by the sensational Negro star, Jesse Owens, who won four events himself for 40 points, was second With 73 points. Indiana was third with 42 and Stanford fourth with 32 ’rhnt\w three teams gathered points in the meet, which produced the most sen- | sational performances since the in- auguration 15 years ago.

BONTHRON VICTOR | Dempsey’s Pride Fights Here |(EEN 0F SHEBA IN FLASHY STYLE Ex-Princeton Star Is One of Six Record-Breakers in New York Meet. s the Associated Press. EW YORK, June 20.—Six meet records fell today as track and field athletes representing the New York Athletic Club mo- nopolized the metropolitan senior A. A. U. championships, which also served as district qualifying events for the Olympic team. Four of the six record breakers were New York A. C. teammates, led by Bill Bonthron, former Princeton ace, who captured the 1.500-meter run after a sensational sprint. The others were Robert Rodenkirchen in the 200-meter dash, Horace P. Odell in the javelin and James Hucker in the 400-meter hurdles. The other records were hung up by Eino Pentti of the Milirose A. A. in the 10,000-meter run, and Martin Glickman, Syracuse University fresh- man, running for the Grand Street | Boys’ Association, in dash. Bonthron's spectacular victory in the 1,500-meter run, the first of his come- back campaign, came after he had hung back in the thick of the 11-man field for three-quarters of the race, which was paced by Joe McCluskey, former steeplechase champlon. The former Princeton star flashed into ac- tonia today as H. C. Apple- gate’s Chigre, a fleet son of Peter Hastings, l(‘d home a crack| band of Western 2-year-olds to cap- ture the thirty-fifth running of the | $5,000 "added Cincinnati Trophy. Applegate joined the official staff| |of the Kentucky Jockey Club soon after the retirement of his famous| the greatest collegiate athletes of the Nation. He opened up his afternoon’s performance by winning the broad jump with a leap of 25 feet 1075 inches, captured the 100 meters in| 10.2 seconds, went to the victory stand for the third time after win-| ing the 200-meter run in 213, and concluded his day's efforts with a victory in the 220-yard low hurdles. Whether Owens’' performance in the 100 meters will be applied for as 8 record is questionable. His time equals the time established by Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette, made in 1932, | which never obtained recognition. ! The accepted world and Olympic mark is 10.3, held jointly by Percy| Williams of Canada, Ed Tolan of | Michigan, and Metcalfe A new world record went up in the discus, when Ken Carpenter of South- | ern California sailed the platter out into space of 173 feet, more than a foot better than the mark of 171 feet 11% inches set by Harald Andersson of Sweden in 1934. It was just 10 feet farther than the current national | collegiate record, held by Henri La- borde of Slanford New (olltgt Marks. IN/ATIONAL collegiate records were established in the 1500-meter | rur., the javelin and the pole vault | Alton Terry of Hardin-Simmons, | bilene, Tex., champion of the Texas and Drake relays, tossed the spear 226 feet 23, inches to break his own American mark of 222 feet 8.8 inches | established in the Drake relays this | year. The N. C. A. A. record is 221 feet 3'; inches, made by Charles Gongloff of Pittsburgh last year. | The sky-sailing “twins” from South- ern California, Earl Meadows and Bill | Sefton, zoomed up in the air in a tie | to clear the bar in the pole vault at | a height of 14 feet 13 inches to beat | the N. C. A. A. record of 14 feet 1's inches, which they -jointly set last year. Archie San Romani, Kansas State Teachers' -College, Emporia, Kans., romped to victory in the 1,500-meter | run in 3:53, erasing the mark set by Glenn Cunningham of Kansas in 1932. ‘The race produced the early surprise, for it resulted in the defeat of Don Lash, sensational Indiana dis- tance star, who a week ago ran the fastest 2 miles a human being has ever accomplished outdoors, 8:58.3. He finished a poor third, with San Romani beating Charles Fenske of ‘Wisconsin by 25 vards. | | | Race Romp for Lash. | went to Dixiana's Sweepalot, | Old Rosebud, but resigned last Spring | to return to the ranks of owners. | Judging from Chigre's sparkling per- | formance today he may have found another Old Rosebud in his first year.

Charles Beetham of Ohio State unmistakably proved his superiority among the half milers, winning the 800 meters by 8 yards going away in 1:53. The Trojans, with their well-bal- anced team, established a record in running up the point total of 10415, the biggest in the history of the meet. They picked up points in every event except the 400-meter hurdles and the 1,500-meter run. MAX’S WIN.ON SCREEN ¥ight Films on View Today in Bethesda, Baltimore.

Yeah, yeah, I know they said Max was old before he an- nihilated Louis, but the German's peak days are numbered. Braddock has some good fights left in his rugged Irish frame, but not soo many. Louis is 22 years old, smart—fisti- | cally speaking—and blessed with as ever tossed his leg over the second rope. He is managed and schooled by a pair of the most clever men in the beak-busting business — Julius Blackburn and John Roxborough. Joe will come back.

Staft Correspondent of The Star. ARRENTON, Va., June 20.— ‘The seventeenth Warren- ton Junior Hunt Show, un- questionably the most re-l freshing item on the annual Horse Show menu, drew to a close here yes- terday following the most successful | session in its history. Ponies from two weeks to 16 years old cavorted about the ring in 25 well-filled classes and riders whose ages boasted almost the same amazing range displayed their skill over the jumps, in saddle-horse events and a few noyelty trials de- signed to prove that the horse is here to stay so long as Warrenton, Wash- ington and the next generation have anything to say about the matter. When the last class had been judged and the last ribbon pinned at sunset, Stanley Green II's Queen of Sheba, perhaps the greatest pony of modern times, had been crowned grand cham- pion of the exhibition and a cherished trophy had been retired. Question Mark Retires Trophy. HE trophy was the Sunset Chal- lenge Cup, offered for ladies’ sad- dle ponies ridden side-saddle and it went to Mrs. Mae Ferneyhough Wag- ner's Question Mark. Mrs. Wagner, one of the many local women whose first memories of riding coincide with their initial appearance in the jumior meet, won the cup with the same horse in 1933 and 1934. This year Question Mark was ridden by Miss Emily North King, another graduate of the pony show’s curriculum. The hunter championship of the day went to Pollyanna, owned by Miss Margaret Hill of Washington, and the reserve hunter tricolor to Lady Peggy from the stables of Miss Edna Roth of Rockville. Had Lady Peggy been successful in capturing the Corinthian | Iclass this year, a second challenge | trophy would have left the grounds | for good, since she holds two legs on | the Robert Ferneyhough, jr., Memonal Cup. The Corinthian honors went in-! stead to Miss Hill's Pollyanna, which | that fair young lady handled with her customary skill. Colbert Pony a Winner. HE saddle pony championship was | awarded to E. R. Colbert's After Me, with Question Mark placed in re- serve. Since the Queen of Sheba does not seem to figure in these awards, it may be puzzling to note thai the diminui- tive veteran mare eventually trotted out, bearing the greatest laurels of them all. The trick was turned by the Queen's ability to strike only when | it counted. Under young Greene's guidance the little gray lady of Vir- ginia horse shows won the pony stake, the triple bar class (both victories marking the third time she had scored | in these events in recent years), placed | second among the pony road hacks, won the saddle pony class No. 2. a| random test for hunter ponies. and | the touch and out, thereby establish- | ing herself at ong point or another as superior to any and all types of | performers on the grounds.
