Dash Luminary , Racln' Ray Johnson Is In sunny southern California to enroll at U, S. C, and is Dean Cromwell, famous Trojan track and. field coach, happy over the fact that the great Medford high school quarter-mller selected the Los Angeles Institution for his future cinder campaigning? The ar.s wer is YES, in bold face caps. Cromwell by his own admission, Is "tickled pink," that he il nave Johnson under his wing in 1943, 1944 and 1945. ' The world's foremost track teacher was a visitor in Salem last week, and during his stay In the Oregon capital he dished out a nice interview to Ron Gem mell of the Salem Statesmen. And Cromwell talked almost ex clusively on one subject Ray Johnson. "I'm tickled pink to get the boy, you may be sure." Crom well told Gemmell. "I saw him run the 400 meters against the top 440 men of the world in the Compton relays, .and what I mean he is good." (Johnson, in that race, finished fifth in a field of seven, but he Mooted the distance in 48 seconds flat, unofficially bettering the nation al interscholastic mark of :48.2 for the 440 and finishing only ;1.9 seconds off the winning pace of Grover Klemmer of the Uni versity of California. Incident ally, it was the first time John son had ever been beaten in a quarter mile gallop.) Cromwell told Gemmell there was no telling what Johnson will eventually do in the 440, but assured him it would be plenty. "He has beautiful, strong legs, a bar rel chest that gives htm the necessary room for lung ac tion, and he's a naturally powerful runner." Gemmell quoted the U. S. C. mentor. "No. he Isn't built on the lines of Grover Klemmer he's not tall and rangy but he has van cleaner legs." Cromweil added: "By the way. Bill Hayward and Bill Bower man combined to send Johnson to me. The boy told Bowerman he absolutely wouldn't go to school in Oregon, and Hayward pame to me with the same story, saying I could have the boy if I wanted him. Say, they can send boys of Ray's type down my way anytimel He's the kind of buy we want down there, even If he had no high school record at 11."

Another interesting revela tion is a table showing the number of schools out of every 100 throughout the country playing each sport on an in terscholastic bails in 1940-41.

FACE TWIN BILLS By Judson Bails (Associated Press Writer) Rain falls on the rich and the poor alike and it was an impartial storm that washed out both the Brooklyn Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals yes terday.
