Nowland's Feat" At CorVallis' Is TopiFpr Talk OREOON STATE COLLEGE, Cor Vail is, May 16 Officials and aports followers who are gathered here rem-, lulcsing over the events of the fifth annual Oregon state interscholastic track and field meet are loud In their praise of Fred Nowland, ace hurdler or the Ia Qrando Timers, who broke the tape ahead of the field in the 120-yard high' hurdles for the sec ond successive year. Nowlund crossed tho high sticks in 16.0 seconds there by eclipsing the mark of 16 seconds 11a t sot by Walter Jtfulrhead of Co- jumoia in iuii. , - ' This was Nowland's fourth year as a competitor In the state meet. The aicauy aavanoe xo me w)p ny tms tall Eastern Oregon lad Is shown by his record in the successive meets. In his first year, 1928, he failed to place, but In 1029 he begun to show his ability when he tied for fourth In tho high Jump and took fifth In the high hurdles. The next year he forgedto the front by winning a great race from tho favorite, Kidder, of Pendleton, In the hurdles. Nowland, however, was not satisfied with merely com ing In first in his event so he camo back to Corvallls Saturday and cli maxed his brilliant, prep school rec ord by breaking tho all-time state record. Although Nowland did not win points in the low hurdles at the state meet, he is credited with .break ing the all-time record In this event nt the Eastern Oregon meet at La Grande this year. He went the dis tance In 26.6 seconds. He also crossed the high hurdles in 16.6 secondB at La Grande which Is .4 of a second better than his own mark set at Oar ytUHs Saturday. . Lod by Nowland and Willie Tor rence, colored wonder who won -both tho high jump and broad Jump and pluced third In the hich hurdles, the 4$Q I Tlgors of La Grande High school .4jm tnado a strong bid for the team chom .472 I plonship at the state meet. Torrence was high point man of the meet. La Grande was prevented from taking i the title only because of a technl- j cality. After the meet was completed, j the Tigers were loading Grant High of . Portland by one-half point, but it ' waB discovered that Torrence had competod in and placed In four events which Is one -more than the rules of the meet allow. Pour points Which Torrence had won In the Jave lin wero dropped from La Or uncle's total thus giving Grant the meet. If Fred Nowland continues to Im prove as he has done throughout his high school career, ho Is certain to be one of tho Northwest's leading candidates at tho Olympic games at Los Angeles in 1032. .

(Associated Press Sports Writer) The Washington Senators had to BO west to hit their stride In the American league pennant campaign. Playing against their 'strong eastern rivals, the Senators could get no hnttur than an eunn hrontr anri iim.a I In fifth place when they set out lor tneir intersections! battles. In the west Washington has won four games out of flvo only a fair performance compared to the clean' sweep scored so far by the Phila delphia Athletics and New York Yan kees and has climbed up to third pluce. But Washington has "been pitted against the two strongest western clubs, Cleveland and De troit, while the'Yanks and A's have been knocking ovor St. Louis and Chicago. The fourth victory yester day, a 6-4 triumph over Cleveland, did not alter tho standing, but It did give Washington the league leading pitcher. Sad Samuel Jones won 1i1b third straight game, allowing only eight hits. ' Burnott's homer In the second in ning brought the only Cleveland scores until Jones cosed up a bit at tho finish. With tho tying run on base In the ninth, Jones bore down to retire the last man. A's Win Sixth straight 'mo Athletics won their sixth straight gome yesterday, downing Chicago 6-2 on a fine pitching per formance by Rube Walberc. The win enabled them to retain their lead of a lew points over the Yankees. Big Charley Ruffing added another great pitching performance to the list of tills year's mound achieve ments and Lou Gehrig clouted his fifth and sixth homers of the year to lead the Yankee attack thnt orougnt n 11 to n victory over St. Louis. Wulberg won his fifth gamo for wio cnampions against one loss. Al Simmons onded a possible pitching duel when he hit his sixth homer of wio year in the fifth to loin Onhrlir at, the top of tho American league list and ruin the game for Vic Prasier. It was only tho fourth triumph for Ruffing, who also has lost one, but it looked like a no hit win until the eighth when Lin Stortl touched him iot a single. The Boston Red Sox, who have climbed from last place to sixth In their western tour, had only one good Inning against Detroit but that was enough for a 4 to 8 victory. The Sox got to Walte Hoyt for five hits and four runs in tho sixth. Plvo National league games sched uled yestordoy wore a complete loss as rain swept the ostein sector, bringing the year's total of post ponements up to 33 for the elder league.

Q . . t In Washington t Ilyllerbert Plumnicr WASHINGTON If the Hon. Pat rick Hurley, President Hoover's youthful . and . debonair secretary of war, has ever felt baffled when con fronted with a situation, he has cer tainly kept the fact concealed around these parts. Tho "Hurley way" of acquitting one's self Is well known to all those with whom tho secretary comes Into contact. An attempt at a description of tho "Hurley way" Is well-nigh Im possible. One must be initiated to appreciate. Take, for example, thesee' inspec tion trips he makes from time to Lime Sov tho war department. At most of the places he stops he Is met by committees of all kinds. For the most part they are composed of groups interested in some local proJT cot that must have federal aid If it Is to be roaUzed. Tho secretary of war must always bo on guard against committing him self. Yet it is highly important that as little ill will as possible be left I behind. Hurley's adroitness in escaping what mlKht possibly be an embarrassing situation has won for. him no small reputation, among Washington - ob-, servers. INFORMAL t f) Perhaps It 4s his enthusiasm and ; tho atmosphere of good fellowship' he croates in sucn instances xnuc explains it: Quito Informal is his arrival, quite Informal is his stay, and quite informally docs he -tako his leave. Tho Beau Brummcl of President Hoover's official family, nevertheless ho is as likely as not to prop his feet upon his desk while discussing n question-with you. He is never at a loss for an interesting yarn to illus trate a point. He even likes totell' stones on nunseii ana enjoys uwm hugely. And before you reallzo it,1 he has won his listeners over. They leave him, unanimously vot ing him a good fellow, lorgcttlng that he has made them no definite promises.
