Old he take a lenf from the nnll.

look at the final standings nnd let

For those row after row of figures

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

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.
