PENN STATE IS SECOND Merchant of Bears and Panla of Grinnell, Wounded War Hero, Individual High Men. CHICAGO. June 17 (By the As sociated Press.) California, from victory in the eastern Inter collegiate track meet, triumphed over the flowers of America's col legiate stars on Stagg field today, winning the team honors in the sec ond National Collegiate Athletic as sociation meet with 28 points by scoring in eight of the 15 events. The individual honors of the day also went to a Californian, Johnny Merchant, who hung up one of the day's nine new records, and alone scored 11 points with victories In the hammer throw and shotput and a fourth In the broad jump. Honors Widely Distributed. Honors were distributed from coast to coast, Penn State following the Pacific coast athletes with 19 peints for second place. Notre Dame was third with 16.7, while Illinois, vegarded as a favorite with Cali fornia, was fourth with 14.7 points. Iowa bagged 11.34 points for fifth place arid Grinnell, due entirely to the performances of Leonard Paulu, the sprinter, tied for sixth place with Michigan with 10 points. Georgetown and Mississippi A. M. each got seven points, while Pennsylvania was eighth with six. Altogether 28 of the 54 institutions broke into the point column. Californiuns Score Heavily. . Walter Christie's tanned coast athletes scored two of the first both weight events won by Johnny Merchant tied for first in the pole vault, took second places in the quarter broad jump and javelin and annexed several other miscellaneous points. Merchant's individual record was fairly equaled by the brilliant work of Paulu of Grinnell, wounded war veteran, who shattered the collegiate dash record in both the century and the 220-yard events, although his score fell short of the- Ca'Iifornian's by one point. After clipping one-tenth of a sec ond from the 100-yard dash record, stepping the distance In 9.9 seconds, Paulu broke the 220-yard mark by four-fifths of a second, besides win ning the race in 21 4-5 seconds from fast competition. All the heats were run in 22 flat, three seconds faster than last yeaVs record held by Wil son of Iowa, who finished secon-i today. Hammer Record Broken. Merchant brbke the hammer record with a throw of 181 feet 4 inches, after winning the 16-pound shot with a heave of 44 feet 6V4 inches. Later in an exhibition, the husky coast lad swung the ball 165 feet 1 inch, but the mark did not go on record. Penn State contributed a new col legiate record when Shields won the mile in 4:20 2-5, cutting three sec onds from the mark held by Ray Watson of the Kansas Aggies. Later in the meet Watson, now running under the colors of the Kansas City Atnietic club, ran a special mile race with Joie Ray of the Illino Athletic club, beating the Chicago veteran by inches in 4:21. This was Watson's second vietorv nvAr "Rnv He defeated the Chieagoan in thef Drake relays at Des Moines, la., last April. Ray, however, had beaten Watson In three previous match races. Another 1921 collegiate champion was relegated to second place today when Brookins of Iowa nosed out Desch of Notre Dame in the final stretch of the 220-yard low hurdles. Desch was leading over the last bar rier but Brookins broke the tape ahead of him in the fast time of 24 1-5 seconds, three-fifths of a sec ond slower than the world's record. Oregon Man Has Bad Luck The pole vault furnished one-of the most thrilling exhibitions-when eight men still survived the trjals with the bar at 12 feet, last year's winning mark. Norris of California and Landowskl of Michigan finally tied for the event at 12 feet 6 inches. Spearow of Oregon ran into hard luck in his trials, but just to show the 15,000 spectators he could negotiate the height, he vaulted 13 feet in an exhibition. In another trial at 13 feet 6 inches Spearow jarred the bar 6ff the supports after he had safely topped it at a height one inch over the world's record. Legendre, noted eastern star from Georgetown, jumped 24 feet 3 inches in the broad jump for a new record. The first four men to place in this event all leaped over last year's mark of 23 feet 3 inches, and the fifth man missed it by only of an inch. Discos Record Hade. Lieb of Notre Dame added a new record to -the list by hurling the discus 144 feet 2 inches and Hoff mann of Michigan, ended the record smashing with a throw of 202 feet 2 inches in the javelin. Dalton of Earlham set a "terrific pace for the 18 starters in the mile', but lost his lead at the end of the second lap. Shield of Penn State won. Rathbun of Ames, winner of the two-mile race in the western con ference meet, pulled ahead at the finish of the two-mile today by 50 yards, after setting the pace all the way. Another man who showed his heels to all competitors during the whole race was Cochrane, a long legged runner from Mississippi A. & M who won the Quarter in 49 7-10. ' Summaries.

LONDON, June 17. (By the Asso ciated Press.) Miss Elizabeth Ryan RESERVES OF BASEBALL CLUB REFLECT STRENGTH OF TEAM Bill Rogers Says Only Way to Make - Nine Hustle Is to Have Good Men Parked Upon Bench. BY L.-H. GREGORY. N O BASEBALL club is stronger than its reserves. That is an axiom of the game, though sometimes a club owner, to save a few dollars on the payroll, will try to ignore it. The first string line up may be ever so good, yet the team be wrecked by one accident if the manager must fall . back on mediocre substitutes. There is another side of it, too. Even the hest player will slump sometimes. If he knows that a man almost as good is waiting to jump into his place, it has a mighty stim ulating effect. We asked Bill Rodgers once his recipe for making .a team hustle. Bill made an impromptu speech on the spot, the theme of it being these words. "Have good men on the bench." "Plenty of good substitutes are meat and drink to a ball club," said Bill. "Real players hate to loaf on the bench they want to play and get their names in the papers. When one of your regulars wobbles a bit, send in a bench-warmer for a few days. Tae chances are he will jazz up the whole club with his pepper and play like a house afire trying to show up your previous bad judgment in having kept him out of the lineup. "As for the regular you have yanked, he never will have an easy moment again until ne wins oacK his job. It's remarkable how quickly he will, regain a lost batting eye. When you let this regular play again he is on - his toes because pride impels him to show you that he is a much better player than the other fellow. "It simmers down to the old principle that competition is - the life of trade. Bill Rodgers, by the way, is unique among baseball managers and players in one respect. When sDeakine in the past tense of a base ball victory he says "we won," in stead of the traditionalbaseball "we win." To all players other than Bill, even the collegians, the past parti ciple of the verb "win" doesn't exist. "Well, we win yesterday against the Seals," is how the ballplayer says it. But along comes Rodgers and shocks the whole baseball fra ternity by putting it "we won." I, BUI denies that he is high-toning JOHNNY WEISMULLER, A 17 - YEAR j ---4l!t ' ' g3 OF NoRLD'& RECOR.D& " ; EDGREJf OF ENSATIONAL YOUTH WHO SOW HOLDS MOST WORLD'S RECORDS.

In the final of the women's dou bles Miss Ryan and Mrs. Lambert Chambers defeated Mrs. Stocks and, Miss McKane, 7-9, 6-4, 6-2. . Miss McKane won her way into the finals of the singles by her vic tory yesterday over Mrs. , Moll Bjurstedt Mallory, the American champion. Her defeat of Miss Ryan today was a convincing perform ance. Miss Ryan fought strenuously through the second set,-but had to yield finally to the English girl's fine base line shots and smart vol leying. VETERAN GETTING BETTER ' ' , N - Jim Scott Improves as He.rows Older, It Seems. . O SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 17. Jim Scott, veteran pitcher of the San Francisco club of the Pacific coast baseball league,seems to get better as he grows older, for this year he is pitching some of the best ball of his long career. He is so good that San Francisco sport writ ers are predicting that scouts soon will be recommending him again to the major leagues, where he for merly starred for the Chicago White Sox. - Scott worked against Portland here Wednesday and held the Bea vers, who have been hitting the ball hard, to three hits. Scott now has pitched against every team in the league and has performed creditably against all. He is more than hold ing his own in hitting, getting, two singles in Tuesday's game. the boys and attributes it to educa tion. Before he went into baseball he was a stenographer and he ad mits' he was a good one. The boss had such confidence in Bill's spell ing and ability to use the right word that he let him write the firm's letters. 'That's how I got this way of say ing 'won" instead of 'win'," said Bill. "I know it's bad form, but I can't break the habit." Bob Hager, one of the athletic coaches at Oregon Agricultural col lege, is a devotee of the out-of-door summer vacation idea. Every sum mer for years he has headed for Glacier National park as soon as vacation time' came, and spent weeks in that wonderland of moun tains, lakes and glaciers. His ver sion of a good time is to see the country rather than lounge at ease In a tourist hotel, so he has hiked over every trail, climbed mountains where there are no trails, gone from end to end and from side to side of the park reservation. One summer he didn't have time for much hiking. That was when the Great Northern railway grabbed him as its transportation manager at headquarters in Many .Glaciers hotel. He was too busy acting as information man to tourists to do any hiking or mountain climbing himself. a He has so thoroughly enjoyed Glacier park outings, however, and has gained so much from them in rugged health, that it occurred to him this summer to let others In on the good thing. So Hager has an nounced that he will personally conduct a hiking party of boys be tween the ages of 16 and 19, inclu sive, through the park. The party will be limited to 20 boys and will leave Portlandfor the park, via the Great Northern, on August 15. The entire tour from the west to the east entrance will be made on foot, except for two short launch rides across Lake Mc Donald and St. Mary's lake, and an auto trip of 25 miles'from the foot of St. Mary's lake to Glacier hotel. All meals will be cooked in camp stylo and all hands will sleep out of doors. The trip will take 17 days, 14 of them being spent in the park. It really looks as if Joe Gorman 4. . . - OLD BOY, GREATEST SWIMMER WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN has come back. Always a great be ginner, of recent months he has been a poor finisher. But Friday night against Lakey Morrow the re verse was true Joe took it easy in the early rounds and saved his stuff for the windup. And he showed plenty in those last two round's. He could have gone -20 rounds at almost the same clip and still have been strong The answer seems to be that at last Joe Is taking the fighting busi ness seriously. For the first time In months "he entered the ring trained to an dge. He weighed 127 pounds, whereas lately he has been fighting at 130 and 131, because it was easier to do that than train down to his real fighting heft. If Joe lets his reverses be a lesson to him and profits from the lesson, he has a future. But if he lapses into the old lazy ways and goes on .the .theory that he can nass un training and get . by on reputation, nis ena win De quick and certain. 'V.!' - TRIP TO COAST -IS PLANNED Washington and Jefferson Eleven Hope to Play California. s RIVERSIDE, June 17. E. J. Poi lok of this city is home from Wash ington, Pa., today and brings back word that Washington . and Jeffer son college athletic boards are planning for another trip to the Pacific coast to meet the California Bears in the annual east-west game. "W. and J. will be stronger this year than last. There is coming into W. and J. some of the best ma terial in western Pennsylvania. The game against California last year was the greatest advertisement W. and J. ever had, and the increased enrollment is attributed to the ad vertising the football team brought to the school by its great showing against the Bears. The athletic board praises highly the manage ment of the rose tournament for the treatment accorded the team and they want to come again. Tennis Courts Wanted.' ABERDEEN Wash., June 17. (bpecial.)

Mulder triumphed over WEISMULLER IS GREATEST SWIMMER KNOWN IN WORLD Seventeen-Year-Old Boy With Illinois Athletic Club Breaks Records at All Places Entered. BY ROBERT EDGREN. , HEY all look great while they're ' breaking records. The record books were once plastered from end to end with the names of Charlie Daniels and Joe Spencer. Duke Kahanamoku was next to cop championships by the score. Ruberl, Vollmer, McGillivray, Cann, Langer, Kleran and Hebner made a list of records. Norman Ross, a gigantic fellow," as tall as Jess Willarfl and twice as wide, wipea out au existing marks at his favorite distances. Only a couple of years ago Ross told me he intended to train one year more to put the swimming records he held up so high that they'd last long after he retired. And now comes Johnny Weismul ler, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, mak ing the old-time champions look like mud-turtles 'in the water. Wherever Weismuller swims he breaks records. He has been swim ming .for the Illinois Athletic club only about a year, yet he is already the greatest swimmer' of the cen tury. . "Back" Bachrack, the club coach, thinks Weismuller the fastest swimmer in ancient or modern times. , "Before a- race," says Back, "he asks me What the record is for the distance. ' I tell him. " 'AH right,' he says. 'I'll break it.'" "Records don't mean anything to him. Although I've trained the boy and taught him and watched him, I wouldn't venture to guess what his limits are in speed. No matter how fast he swims he seems able to break his own new record whenever he wants to. He is the strongest swimmer in the world in spite of his youth, and I expect to see him lengthen his distances and go right along breaking records as he grows older.'' Phenom at Seven Years. Johnny began swimming when he was seven years old.. He saw a lifeguard at Fullerton beach, Chi cago trudge through the water and, Jumping in, imitated the stroke so skillfully that in a short time he could easily outswim all the other boys and win all the boys' races. After that he almost lived in the water.- He was quick as a flash at ... I I Mrs. John Norton, 6-3, 6-4.

He has some trouble explaining his success as a swimmer and when asked technical questions always refers the interviewer to Coach Bachrack. Weismuller comes from a section notable for its swimmers. It may seem, odd that the inland should furnish so many swimming cham pions, "but there is plenty of fresh water around Chicago. Water sports are popular along the Great Lakes, which may explain why so many re cruits for the navy were obtained in the middle west in war times. Charlie Brickley of Harvard, after a season at Northwestern university, expressed surprise at the athletic situation in that part of the coun try. "Those birds out 'there," said ETickley, "don't care much about football. Their hobby is swimming and water polo. At Northwestern they refused to talk about foot ball, but never tired of .telling me, about their swimming prospects." Johnny Weismuller in 'build is much like Charlie Daniels, the great old-time champion, being lo'ng and s.ender. He has a graceful, easy way bf gliding through the water. During his early training he made a close study of slipping along with as little disturbance of the water as possible. Racing boats are designed and tested to move at high speeds with out throwing a wave or leaving a tumbling wake behind. Weismuller tried out his swimming positions by holding his arms out ahead with his hands resting on a pneumatic tube, turning his head to watch the effect of his kicks and his body movements through the water. Most World's Records. In this way he found the proper arch of the back that gave him best speed results, and then developed the six-heat stroke that he uses at all distances. When he stops swimming his body carries on through the water, showing that he has cut re sistance to a minimum. . At 17 he'll be 18 next October- Weismuller, holds " more world's records thmn any other swimmer in America. Last winter he startled the swimming world by swimming 220 yards in 2 minutes 17 4-5 sec onds at the Great lakes pool in De troit just 2 seconds under Ted Cann's -world's records recognized by the International Swimming lea eration. This feat has not yet been officially passed on. A little later Johnny swam in the New York Athletic club tank against Leo Giebel of Rutgers, and also swam faster than the accepted rec ord, winning easily in 2:19 1-5. But on May 26 Weismuller shat tered all records for the distance in Honolulu, where he went, hoping to meet Duke Kahanamoku in a series of races. The Hawaiians, greatest swimmers of the world un til America turned out Rosg and Weismuller, were amazed to see the Chicago boy plough through 220 yards in 2 minutes 15 3-5 seconds. Next day Weismuller proved that he was an all-around champion by meeting Warren Kealoha, the Ha waiian swimmer, in a 100-yard back-stroke race. Kealoha held the world's record. He swam so well in defending his championship that the result Was nearly a dead heat, Weis muller winning by an almost in visible margain in 1 minute 4 4-5 seconds. Kealoha's world's record was 1 minute 6 2-5 seconds. Among other world's records turned in by the Illinois champion this year was a mark for 100 yards made in a relay race in the New York Athletic club. Each swimmer covered 100 yards of the 400-yard relay and two swimmers were added to continue to 600 yards fori the new world's records. i McGillivray started for the Illinois Athletic club, swimming his hun dred in 66 2-5 seconds. Buddy Whalen made it in 58. Harry Heb- ner, Olympic champion, was timed in 66 2-5. Then came Weismuller, who scooted through the 100 yards of tumbling water in 52 3-5 seconds, world's record time. Jones followed in 58 1-6 and Siegel In 57 4-5. The marvel of Weismuller s speed is shown by comparing his time with the times made by his team mates all crack sprint swimmers. The team broke records for 400, 500 and 600 yards. . We've had some wonderful Olym pic games material in the past, with champions like Daniels, Spencer, Cann, Hebner and a score more of nearly equal ability, but never an Olympic prospect in the water sports like Johnny Weismuller. Just how fast he will be going when the Olympics come'along no one can predict. But another year of development in strength and ex perience no doubt will enable him to break, all the records he has made to date. And there are several othef young sters coming up in different parts of the country that may be able to give him a race. (Copyright, by the Bell Syndicate. Inc.)

" HUGE CROWD IS AMAZED Snob II, Humbled In Belmont Stakes by Pillory, Poor Third In Carlton Stakes. NEW YORK, June 17. Morvich. hailed as the successor of Man o'War, met his master today in Whiskaway, a colt that he defeated last year. It happened in the Carl ton stakes at Aqueduct before a monster crowd which was amazed to see Benjamin Bloc's wonder colt trailing eight lengths behind H. P. Whitney's entry at the finish. Whiskaway eased up, came within four-fifths of a second of tying the American record for the mile, taking the lead at the barrier, retaining command all the way and finishing In 1:36 2-5. It was Morvich's 13th start, but track followers disre garded the superstitious digit in ex plaining the upset. There is much significance in the fact that the winner carried only 108 pounds to Morvich's 123. , Snob II Poor Third. Two weeks ago the Carlton was hailed as a meeting ground for Morevich and Snob II, then believed to be his only rival, but the latter, humbled in the Belmont stakes hy Pillory, the Preakness winner a week ago, was a poor third today, fighting hard Ave lengths behind Morvich, both lugging the same weight. Horologe was always out run. June Grass and William A. were scratched. Although badly beaten today, Morvich has an opportunity to re gain prestige and under more favor able circumstances, for he probably will meet Whiskaway at even weights in the Latonia special for $50,000 at Latonia, Ky., next Satur day.
