Collegians Dominant. THIE week, to keep on edge, as well as to strive for National A. A. U. chamiponships, the cream of the crop will be seen in action Friday and Sat- urday on Princeton’s famous Palmer Stadium track. The A. A. U. title meet will include the final tryout f aianas |Columbus Horse Show Grand | the 10,000-meter run, with Indiana‘s Don Lash as the featured entry. Lash, | America’s favorite for the 5000, as well as the 10,000, raced to a world 2-mile record of 8:58.3 at Princeton two weeks ago. College athletes in general, and Cali- fornians In particular, dominate the survivors of the semi-final tryouts, although every section of the United ! States has favorites primed for the decisive Olympic tests. The N. C. A. A. meet, week before last at Chi- | cago, produced most of the world- record feats, including 102 100 meters for Jesse Owens, State’s triple Olympic threat; the 110-meter hurdles (Spec) Towns, great Georgia timber topper; 46.1 in the 400-meter run by Archie Williams, California Negro, and 173 feet in the discus by Ken 14.1 in in the| Ohio | by Forrest | G STAR, WASHINGTON, D.” C, MARGARET HILL, RANDLE'S CLAWS EARNS TRICOLOR Championship Awarded Solely on Points. S. RANDLE'S Claws, a Vir- U- ship of the second annual | Columbus Horse Show yesterday at Bradley Farms, Md. The champion- ship was earned entirely on points, Claws outscoring Betty Couzens’ Re- pulsion, which took the reserve tri- color, and Mrs. D. N. Lee’s Scout, | leader of the hunter classes at the opening session Saturday. ‘The open jumper championship was awarded to Fenton M. Fadeley's Lacquer Lady, the center of a dispute earlier in the day when Fadeley pro- Carpenter of Southern California. Glenn Morris is Outstanding. ‘HE outstanding record perform- | ance over the last week-end was | that of Glenn Morris, 24-year-old Den- ver automobile salesman, in the decath- | lon final tryouts at Milwaukee. a newcomer to the all-around spotlight this year, amassed 7,880 points in the 10-event test to break the world mark of 17,8245, made in 1934 by the Ger- man, Hans Sievert. These figures are based on the new scoring table. Sievert, incidentally, has been put out | of competition by injuries and prob- | ably will not even start in the OIym-; pics. The sectional tryouts forecast daz- eling competition in all the foot races, from 100 to 1,500 meters, in the finals | at Randalls Island, as well as a hot | battle for places in the hurdles, the pole vault, the discus and high jump. Bill Bonthron's comeback, topped | off by a 1,500-meter victory over Gene Venzke at Cambridge Saturday, paves “ the way for another great duel in the ' *metric mile,” with Glenn Cunnin ham and Archie San Romani repre- | senting the Middle West. San Ro- ! mani, N. C. A. A. champion, with a | best mark of 3:53 this year, cannot be overlooked by the triumvirate that has ruled American middle-distance running since 1932. The 400-meter run shapes up as | another thriller, with Archie Willlams, Jimmy Lu Valle of U. C. L. A, Jack Hoffstetter of Dartmouth and Eddie O'Brien of Syracuse meeting for the first time. Willlams is the year's sensation, Lu Valle the most con- sistent performer and O'Brien the question mark. The Syracuse flash was beaten Saturday by Hoffstetter and is far off the record-breaking | form he showed last Winter. More Negro Stars Appear. RANK WYKOFF'S comeback to win the 100 meters at Los Angeles offers him the opportunity to make the Olympic team for the third time, but the sprints look to be a cinch for the twin Negro flyers from the Midwest, Owens and Ralph Metcalfe sof Marquette. The Los Angeles try- ‘outs produced a new Negro *find” ifor the 200 in Mack Robinson, who bettered the world and Olympic mark Jwith a 21.1 performance. Ben Eastman strengthened his place #s the No. 1 hope for the 800 by winning in 1:50.1 at Los Angeles, “but he has a new rival in John Wood- xuff, University of Pittsburgh Negro, ~who was clocked in 1:51.3 at Cam- dge.

JUR pole vaulters cleared 14.3 in Saturday’s competition, including Beto newoouiers to such heights, Dave ZWeichert of Rice Institute and George iVaroff of San Francisco's Olymipte SClub.

WASHINGTON PIGEON SCORES IN CLASSIC Gorely Bird Makes Best Time in Chattanooga National—1,152 Compete in Race. INNER of the country’s largest annual pigeon race, the Chat- tanooga National—that's the proud boast of a Washington fancier, Frank E. Gorely, who received a gold medal for his efforts at a session of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last week end. Entered in competition with 1,152 birds from 115 cities and towns, less than 50 per cent of which reached home, Gorely's feathered speedster flew from the ball park of Joe Engel's Chattanooga Lookouts at the rate of 1,035 yards per minute, to beat the record of the nearest contender, from Baltimore, by 16 yards per minute. Although his bird did not arrive home on the same day it was liberated, the distance it traveled and the rate it made gave Gorely first place over two ' competitors from Ohlo, who reached their loft on the “day of toss.” ‘The Ohio pigeons averaged only 1,008 yards per minute. H. R. Kaske of Washington was the next local fancier after Gorely, placing fourth in the national standings. finish in the following order: H. C. Hile, John Rowe, W. O.

She will come to Washington from the Ridgewood Country Club of New Jer- sey, where she has been playing a few matches.

Associated Press 3ports Editor. EW YORK. — Few Olympic events have had as fascinating a background, or as many bit- ter disappointments for your Uncle Samuel, as the 1,500-meter run, ‘The “metric mile” has held a jinx for our lads since those memorable Olympic days when bowler hats were the official style and you couldn't get an American to say a kind work for British athletic officials. Since “Peerless Mel” Sheppard led the pack home at Shepherd’'s Bush in 1908, the United States has not pro- duced an Olympic 1,500-meter cham- pion. The books show that milers like John Paul Jones, Abel Kiviat, Norman | Taber, Joie Ray, Lloyd Hahn and Gene Venzke did a flock of record- cracking, indoors or out, during the subsequent years, but you will not find any of them listed among the Oympic champions. A lanky Englishman who now is one of Louisville’s solid citizens, Arnold N. Strode Jackson, gave a handsome | beating in 1912 to the best set of milers | we ever sent to the Olympic games, | and that includes any combination go- ing abroad this year. Ray never had |much luck on his Olympic jaunts, | finally making his best showing in the marathon in 1928. Hahn was a huge disappointment the same year, despite being given special consideration and | not even being forced to qualify for | the 1,500. Eyes on Venzke. FOUR years ago, as most every one recalls, Venzke, with a 4:10 indoor mile behind him, failed to make the | Olympic team. The stocky young man ‘who beat him out for the last place was Glenn Cunningham, who has | since then acquired the world indoor (4:084) and world outdoor (4:06.7) records. Now the boys have good reason to fear Cunningham has passed his peak; that Bill Bonthron, despite his win ] over Venzke last Saturday, is not likely 1o repeat in the final trials and that again the pressure will be on the Penn star. Gene, four years older and a better finisher, should not have an- other attack of the jitters, such as he had at Palo Alto in 1932. He has regained confidence, seemingly has Cunningham’s “number” after three years of trying, and should be the No. 1 American at Berlin. There are one or two contenders who cannot be ignored. One of them, Gus Fenske of Wisconsin, was on Don | Lash's heels in a 4:108 mile this | Spring. Another, Archie San Romani, Kansan, who won the National Col- legiate A. A. title a year ago, has | trained intensively for a comeback. Lovelock to Shift. IT MAY or may not be good news | * to our crack milers that New Zea- land's Jack Lovelock is considering shifting his Olympic bid from the 1,500 | to the 5,000 meters. Our boys, on two memorable occasions at Princeton, were beaten thoroughly by Lovelock. | But the British think they have a run- | ner who can “take” Lovelock consist- | ently in Stanley Wooderson. The fact is Wooderson has beaten Lovelock uflce at the mile within the past year, | which may be one treason why the | feathery-footed medical student is con- templating & change of focus. | Luigi Beccali, from all accounts, is | training to defend the title. The black-haired Italian boy showed a ter- rific stretch “kick” at Los Angeles four years ago. Britain has a running-mate for Wooderson in Robert Graham, 27- year-old Scottish farmer. Australia has high hopes of Gerald Backhouse, whose times have not been so impres- sive as the manner in which he has ;won most of his races. He sticks to | the British system of “running to win,” which has proved effective against our “clock-conscious” feot- | racers. THEM OVER get . Extra Trade-In Allowances on GENERALS Drivein.
