RACE THRILLS FEW
NEW YORK (AP) The an
cient art of foot-racing has under
tone some sweeping changes since
he Olympic games of 1908 and
1912 when Mel Sheppard was win
ning first places for tho United
States. .
"They've taken some of the
thrill out of the game with their
wristwatches and whatnot," said
the former middle distance star
who d;rects the athletic program
if the Millro.se A. A. and is men
tioned prominently for an Olym
pic coaching job.
"In the old days when I was
unning. if a man got 'out ahead
f you, you took after him with all
ou had and passed him It you
ould.
"And if you were the man in
front and you beard some feet
pounding down on you from be
hind, you picked it up and stayed
in front or killed yourself try
ing. "Now days the runners maybe
know more. They know they
aren't going to be winning a race
If they've killed themselves on
their feet. So they run their race
and let the other fellow run his.
"Nurml usually is supposed to
have started it, wearing his wrist
watch and lining his laps, but
there's a good many runners use
the same system without needing
a watch. Any good runner knows
to a second how fast a quarter or
half he's turning in and he runs
the whole race on schedule. That's
science.
"It's a lot like fighting. Throw
ou tscience and let your fighters
do nothing but slug, and maybe
there's more thrills. But the man
who can box who uses his head
gets hit a whole lot less.
"That's Nunni's system in the
running game and he won four
races In the last Olympics."

NEWARK. N. J. AP). Ernest
A. Blood, "miracle man" coach of
Passaic (NT. J.) high school's bas
ketball team which won 189 con
secutive victories five years ago,
has bobbed up again In spectacu
lar fashion as coach of St. Bene
dict's prep school here which scor
ea ijb points In one game the
other nigAit.
This knack of producina teams
mat canjdrop In points at the rate
or four and a quarter a minute Is
a ease jf getting your players
young and instiling the winning
spirit, sys the gray-haired tutor
who heej coached at West Point
but bad ils greatest success as a
prep school mentor.
"I male my players realize that
the ability to get their hands on
tbe ball jby being able to Jump
faster aid higher than the man
they are playing against is the
stuff that makes a basketball
player.
I have no disciplinary system.
A man or boy who has to be disci
plined I do not want on the team.
You have to start when they
are young. I coached a class of
boys in Potsdam. N. Y.. some time
ago from the time they were eight
years old until they were out of
high echool. Nine of those boys
went to college and all made the
varsity basketball team, seven of
them being elected captains. Thev
all went to war and became non
commissioned officers."
As Coach -Blood supervises the
entire school phyeloal program as
well as coaching basketball he-i
in constant close touch with hjs
biys.
St.- Benedict's Prep, which holds
the state title and beat Newton
academy of Connecticut by the
phenomenal score of 136 to 9 re
cently, hae lost two games in
Blood's two seasons there.
"I didn't get them when they
were-young enough." he said In
explanation of the two lone losses,
"although ' that sounds like an
alibi."
Blood. like Rockne of Notre
Dame football, uses a great num
ber of playenj.. His teams are
drilled in rapid fire attack on the
sound theory that both teams
can't be attacking at on anji the
one that doesn't can't score. '

three fifth of a second off his own
world's record in the 140 yard
dash here in tbe Rice relays this
afternoon when he set up a daz
zling new world's time of 13 1-5
seconds.
His old record of 13 4-S seconds
,was set yesterday at the Texas re
lay wt Austin.
Paddock breasted the tape bare
ly three feet ahead of Fred Alder
mann. national collegiate 100 and

the California flash for 75 yards
out could not meet Paddock's bril
liant burst of speed beyond the

yards and finally began to gain by
nches near the 80 yard mark. At
100 yards he breasted Aldermann
and picked up a yard lead In the
gruelling flashy finish.

Texas relays in Austin, although
he won the event with ease. His
time was 9 4-5 seconds. Bracey
