Penn, Drake Relays to Test
America's Olympic Hopefuls
, (By United Pccki)
The Penn Relays at Philadelphia and the Drake Relays at
Des Moines, Iowa, this weekend are the next stops for Amer
ica's Olympic-minded track and field stars. ,
, The two big relay carnivals,. both featuring some special
races along with the baton-passing events, figure to draw
standout fields as U. S. 'runners put their training into high
gear for the Olympics coming up this summer. '
American track and field : : 1
athletes blew hot and cold
during a busy weekend just
concluded.
On the "hot" side, there was a
57 foot, 4 '4 inch shot put by former
Yale Star Jim Fuchs of thd New
York AC the best . anywhere in
the world this year.
On the "cold" side, there was
the dismal showing in the famed
Boston marathon won tor the
seventh straight year' by a foreign
er us Doroteo Flores of Guatemala
hent"v"fc Dyrgull of- New York by
more than a half-mile.
Fred . Wilt, two-mile star who
claims the U. S. "doesn't have
much chance" in Olympic long
distance racine, won a special
5,000 meter run in the Seton Hall
Relays in 15:00.5.
Records Set
There were plenty of meet rec
ords set at the Seton Hall games
in Newark, N. J., the Ohio Relays,
at Columbus, Ohio, and the Kan
sas Relays at Lawrence, .Kan.
These seemed to indicate that U. Sr
runners are rounding into top form.
Manhattan College reeled off a
new meet record of 1:26.2 for the
880-yard relay at Seton Hall, and
Georgetown's four-mile relay set
another with a 17:43.8 clocking.
Kansas made the Georgetown
clocking look weak, the Jayhawk
ers setting a new meet record of
17:18.3 at Lawrence. That was only
2.2 seconds off the American rec
ord set by Indiana 15 years ago.
Highlight of the Kansas team s
win was a 4:11.6 anchor leg by
Wes Santee. .
Also in the Kansas Relays, Okla
homa set a new . record of 3 :14 8
for the mile relay; Jim Gerhart
of Texas posted 47 feet, 2 inches in
the hop, step and jump, Leo Yoder
of Arkansas clocked 52:5 seconds
in the 400-meter hurdles; and Tex
as equalled the 880-yard record of
1:25.2. .
Darrow Hooper of Texas A & M
accomplished the second leg in his
attempt to repeat a sweep of shot
put and discus events at the Texas,
Kansas, and Drake games. He took
the Kansas events with a 53-foot,
9 inch shot put and a 152 feet, SVt
discus throw.
The Ohio Relays, revived for the
first time since 1932, saw nine rec
ords set for the Ohio State stadium.
Most impressive of these was a
new world record of 9:56.3-for the
two-and-a-half mile medley relay
by the University of Michigan,
erasirlg by 3.1 seconds a mark set
by North Texas State 14 years ago.
Jack Carroil raced the quarter mile
in 46.1 seconds, Aaron Gordon
stepped a half-mile in 1:54.2, -John
Ross, flashed three-quarters of a
mile in 3:04.8. apd Don McEwen
raced a mile in 4:11.3.
As far as Uncle Sam is con
cerned, there was a "joker" in the
Michigan triumph Carroll, Ross,
and McEwen are all Canadians.
Right now they rank as strong
contenders for Canada's Olympic
team.

Wealth Sharing
Plan Proposed
NEW HAVEN,.Conn April 21
(IB A program under which all
football iplaylng colleges would
"share the wealth" from televi
sion receipts was advanced. Mon
day by Robert A. Hall of Yale,
chairman of the television com
mittee of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.
"If the colleges do not now
establish a principle of sharing
the receipts of televised football,
a financial premium will be cre
ated that will kill amateur- foot
ball," said Hall in a radio talk.
Hall, who also Is chairman cf
Yale's athletic board of control,
predicted that within two' or three
years the total annual proceeds
from televised football would
amount to more than $10,000,000
as the result of a pay:as-ydu-see
plan. Under a pay-as-you-see pro
gram, it would cost a TV set own
er about $1 to watch a football
game.
Hall explained that for the com
ing 1952 season, sponsors will
pay a fee to the colleges whose
game is being televised, and that
this will be the source of current
television receipts rather than
pay-as-you-see. ,
An attempt is being made as a
p&rt of the atomic energy program
to make photosynthesis, tne cap
ture of solar energy by usable
chemicals, take place outside the
living cells.
