tho weekend two world Indoor marks
smashed and another tied.
Three youths Gene Venzke, George

slnco last year, flashed the Wana
maker mile of tho Mlllroso A. A.

one of the greatest sprinters In the
game turned tho 00 yards In 6 2-10

1032 Pacific coast conference basket
ball season past the halfway mark,

game ahead of the Bears. They main

to 10.
Tho Bears at the same time re
mained within striking distance by
taking an ovcrtlmo tilt from U. O. L.
A. Saturday, 31 to 20, after winning
with comparative ease Friday, 38-24.
After a poor start, Washington has
staged a great comeback. It won four
straight games from Oregon, two last
weed end at Seattle, 38 to 20 and 27
to 21.

SMITH TO BE.
CANDIDATE'
IF WANTED
(Continued From Page Ono)
With a full sense of the responsib
ility thereby Imposed, I shall not In
advance of the convention either
support or oppose the canldacy of
any aspirant for the nomination."
Answers Questions
Ho was asked if he would forbid
tho use of his name In states that
do not require the consent of a can
didate for nomination.
"I don't see how I can stop anyone
from doing anything," he said.
"Will you support any candidate
selected by the convention?"
"I am a Democrat. That Is your
answer."
"Docs this permit your friends to
enter your name in various state pri
maries?" "I will answer that by repeating
I'll make no preconvcntlon cam
paign." Smith declined, to discuss any
party Issues. ABked what he thought
tho principal Issue of the campaign
would be he said:
"I don't know."
May Moan Deadlock
Tho consensus of political com
ment was that the Smith statement
likely will mean a deadlock of the
national Democratic convention at
Chicago. Smith advocates pointed
out that 770 votes are necessary to
nominate, and that 38S are enough
to block nomination. Many viewed
the Smith statement as having the
effect of putting him forward as an
actual candidate, though the wording
of the statement disavows this.
Republicans generally expressed
elation, believing a fight within tho
Democratic party would bolster Re
publican chances at the election.
Press Comments Many
In his home stato of New York
Smith found tho press comment
support or opposo the candidacy of
mixed. The New York Times said
it Is not necessary to Infer that
Alfred E. Smith is suffering from
"a bad case of that Insidious and
almost lucurabe disease, prcsldentltis
. . . His ambition Is honorable." and
added: "Even the most blindly com
placent champion of Gov. Roosevelt
must see that tho entrance of Mr,
Smith Into tho contest for the presi
dency heavily clouds the governor's
own prospects." The Times further
believes that Smith's nomination
would mark a "revival of those reli
gious prejudices which so distressed
thoughtful men In 1028."
Tho Herald-Tribune noted Smith's
"franKiiess and directness" to be "In
sharp contrast with the pussyfooting
and evaslvo tactics of Franklin D.
Roosevelt," "No man." the Herald-
Tribune said, "will be nominated
against his (Smith's) wishes. That
seems certain."
In the adjoining stato of New Jer
sey the Newark Ledger believes there
can be "only one interpretation of
his stand;" and that Is that Smith
"Is determined to prevent Governor
R oose ve 1 1 . . . f rom obtaining the
coveted prize" the Ledger thinks the
Smith statement "will give great im
petus to the movement In favor of
Speaker John Garner."
James Farley, state Democratic
chairman and supporter of the Roose
velt candidacy, said: "Governor Smith
has a perfect right to lwue the state
ment," That was all. (The title
"governor" Is still applied to Smith
by his friends and political asso
ciates)." Tammany Lenders Silent
Tammany leaders were uncom
municative. John F. Curry, leader
of Tammany, said he would not'
comment until he saw the statement
In the paper. Edward J. Flynn. sec
retary of state and Bronx Democratic
leader, smiled and said nothing.
In the south where Democracy's
stronghold lies, much of the com
ment was in a vein of regret that
Smith should have taken this
course. "It Is unfortunate for the
Democratic party," said the Louis
ville Courier -Journal, "for it certain
ly means a struggle between Smith
Force and , Roosevelt forces . . , . "
The statement of Smith's "availabil
ity" for the presidential candidacy
is, in tho view of the Richmond. Va
Tlmcs-Dtspat?h, "so unnecessary as to
be slightly" pathetic."
Tho Roanoke Times said the "mas
terful statement" will serve to en
hance Smith's Influence and position
In tbe party. The Age-Herald of
Birmingham sees reason to regret
Smith's "pronouncement of recep
tivity" and says the statement "tears
a wheel off the Roosevelt band
wagon."
"If the Democrats lose the presi
dency this year," says the Macon,
Ga., Telegraph, "they may date the
beginning of the end of their hopes
from today." The Baltimore Sun, on
the other hand, sees tho statement
as "a thing of health for the Demo
cratic party and for the nation, be
cause it promises clash of opinion
and the purification." . ' . .
At Fort Myers, Fla., the News-Press
comments: "Al does not choose to
run but will accept tho nomination
If offered. What American would
not?" The Herald at Miami believes
tho Smith statement will "remove
tho fears of Gov. Roosevelt . . . The
greatest possible threat to his candi
dacy has been lifted."
