THE EVENING WOXLD, MONDAY, MAY 8, 1916. _ BEST SPORTING PAGE IN NEW YORK | Robert Simpson's Performance in Hurdles Most Notable Event of Year to Date. | Copyriay, rite The Pres Bubitehing Co, The New York Evening World.) IIIS season is to see some re- I markable record bre aollege athletic flelds. interesting event of the year to date the wonaerful 120-yard hurdle ert Simpson of Mis- @ourl University on Saturday. This was in the meet between Missourt and Iowa State C nd Simpson ‘was clocked in Years ago, ier, ran the 120-yard hurdles in seconds, it was said that the met would ‘remain for hurdlers to shoot at for generations. Yet within @ year or 60 Chase broke Henry's Tecord, running in 163-5 seconds. ‘This was tied by Ernest Dyer in the intercollegiates, and Chase clipped oft another fifth of a second, Kraenglein | chipped off another fifth, After his | time along came Garrcls and two or three other record men, and Forrest Bmithson put the ord down to 16 seconds flat, Kelly and two other hurdiers equalied that record, Simp- gon equailed tt. Running the 120-yard hurdles in 15 seconds flat would have been called an impossibility a few years agd, and it seemed that the mark would stand for some time. the gre: STaoe av ws \Neidow!

HEY WAKE UP, Oo Bor — This 15 Tue BiG Dart G00 ‘our’, oud ‘sPoor{ Now This A FELLER TAreS Coup FROM HANGING AROUND Simpson's performance only helps $ prove what I ha din this | lumn for several y that no athletic record can last. No matter how fast a runner is, or how power- ful a weight thrower, in course of time a faster or a bigger and stronger and more skilful man will appear, To-day every school in the United States is turning out boy athletes. In those thousands and thousands of eager competitors for athletic honors We are golng to have men who will break every athletic record carried on our record books. REMEMBER one day, while train- ing with John Flanagan at Tra vers Island, when John was first hammer throwing champion, “John,” I said, “some day a much @igger man will come along and boat us both and put the record up where we'll never reach it.” John laughed. “Nobody's ever going to beat me or break my record,” said John. “I don't care how big a man is, I'd beat him, 1 have the skill.” slong came Matt McGrath, a after only a year or so of compet tion beat Flanagan and broke his record. John went to the top again, but then Pat Ryan dethroned him for ood, Ryan Was younger, and twice a fig and powerful. And he had tho skill too. No man can have & mo- nopoly on athletic skill, Ryan is only 6 feet 5 inches tal, ard he weighs only al ) pounds. Some day a bigger and stronger man will come along and beat his record. Or a smaller and more skilful man will do It.
