Hut did Terry ask for a recount? Old he take a lenf from the nnll. tlcians handbook and demand a thorough going-over of the facts and figures? lie did not. He took one look at the final standings nnd let it go. For hall players, as well an the hundreds of thousands of cus tomers who follow the game, have come to accept statistics as the last word In accuracy and fairness. Which is a roundabout way of ap proaching our snhieet for todnv Mister Al Munro Klias. officlnl sta tistician for the National, Interna tional, Knstcrn and a rinacn or more lesser leagues. Mister Klias and his gang deal with more figures In a month than Zirgfold, Carroll and White In a lifetime. And 10 Mister I'lias his dry anil dusty figures are just as Interesting nnd amtenline as are their very sweet numbers to the showmen. And baseball's figures are lust as important to the gnme n the little figures who run up and down the runway nnd pace across the stage, are to the musical comedy business. For those row after row of figures lorm tne sKeieton trnmework which supports bnsehall and gives it life. Of course, Mister Elias does not ao an the work alone, but it is he, and he alone, who checks and re- checks, counts and re-counts all the statistics put together by his staff. For brother Elias is a trifle daffj on the subjpct of accuracy.

"Tbre are just two- kinds of sta tistics, Al says. "Accurate statis tics and worthless statistics. There is no middle groove. You might even go further than that and any that inaccurate figures are worse than worthless, for thousands of folks depend on them for informa tion and nre misted. If I couldn't get my figures right so right I would stake my life on 'em I'd miner drive n Inn miry truck, which I understand, is very tiring work."

Cooleat Spot In Town TODAYI MAT. 10e V: KIDS rirat Runt LEO CARRILL0 In A Jamea Cruza Picture "RACE TRACK" It's a Knockout Showl By ROT CRAFT Ralph Hill's intercollegiate mile record, set two yean ago in the Oregon-WaBhington dual meet, has been broken. Glen Cunningham, Uni versity of Kansas miler, turned in a new iutercollegiute record of 4:11 1-10 in the mite run during the national college track and field championship Saturday at Chicago, Cunninuhum'H victory came as a sur prise, he having been pitted against Henry Brocksmith, Indiana university miler and favorite in the event. The race must have been reminiscent of the famous Kizer-Hill classic here, for Cunningham caught Brocksmith in the back stretch and defeated him by five yards with an amazing burst of speed to set the record, in the Hill-Kizer race, it was Hill's great sprint at the finish that saved the day for him and established the then world's record of 4:12.4. Cunningham will, of course, be entered In the Olympics at Los Angeles this summer. He win probably not be matched against Hill, however. Hill, who ran In college as a miler, opened his 1932 campaign this spring by set ting a new Paolflo coast two mile record. On April 16 In the Olym pic club-Southern California dual meet which the Trojans won eas ily. Hill turned the oval eight times In 9:42.4, finishing by him self far out In front of the field. He qualified for the final Olym pio trials May 28, winning the 5000-meter run In 15 minutes 10 seoonds when the open Olympic events were held In conjunction with the northern division Pa cific coast conference games at Seattle. The 5000 meter event is the one In which Hill hopes to perform during the Olympic games while Cunningham will probably be entered In the 1500 meter run which corresponds some what to the American mile. Five thou sand meters is better than three miles. In the case of both Hill and Cun ningham, as in the cases of several outstanding Olympic athletes, the young men have reached the heights of sport supremacy against great odds. Hill is a fragile youth who was hardly considered a track possibility when be started turning out under Bill Hay ward here, while Cunningham was injured in a country school fire that cost the life of his brother and almost ruined Glenn's chances to rapture his mile and half-mile triumphs. The Kansan was severely burned in the school fire. Even today he has to be careful of his legs, which do not have ample flesh and skin protection over the bonps. This list of athletes who had to overcome handicaps to win Include Percy Williams and Don Bennett. A trick heart threatened to keep Williams from his double Olympio sprint victory In 1928. A frail, undernourished body almost stop ped Bennett before he had the chance to hang up his double vic tory In the recent Big Ten games. Eugeneans were disappointed when the University high school's tennis team failed to beat Grnnt for the state title Saturday, but some encourage ment came out of the meeting at least. Pete Buck and Cnrl Bobbins. ,1r.( won over John Gnltngher nnd George Armstrong in their doubles meeting, and Gallagher and Arm strong ore seeded number one in the doubles matches of the Center tour nament to start this week. Since the Center toiirniimont will determine the Oregon state junior champions in the singles and doubles, their victory Snturday gives Buck nnd Robbins a good deal of encouragement and raises their stock for the tourna ment meeting. The Eugene doubles team won Saturday over the Port land favorites, ti-3. 6-4.
