Cromwell Lauds
Racin' Ray, 440
. 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."
Fresh off the press la the 1941
official rule book and how-to-play
handbook of six-man foot
ball, edited by Stepiien Eplcr.
dean of men at the Southern
Oregon College of Education in
Ashland. Eplcr, you knov , in
vented this fine game wnlch is
sweeping the nation's smaller
high schools. The book is a
honey, containing complete
rules, over 50 illustrations and
diagrams of plays, sections on
how to play the game and lis
history and birth.
Also included in the bock are
the results of exhaustive sur
veys made by Eplci revealing
the trends in high sen ol ath
letics. His own brainchild, six
man football, was ptayed by 1.
911 of the notion s 18.878 high
schools he surveyed in the 1940
41 school year, as against only
141 high schools playing the
game in 1933-38, a year Rlter
Epler originated the spurt Ac
cording to Epler's survey of Ore
gon high lohools the gdme was
played by 72 of the C0 Inrti
tutions belonging to the state
association, this during the
1940-41 year.
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.
Basketball is shown to be by
far the moit popular sport,
with 95 per cent of all hiqh
schools indulging In the maple
court game. Track Is second
with 46 per cent. 11 nun toot
ball next with 40 per cent and
baseball fourth with 34 per
cent. Six-man football it
fifth with 10 ptr cent and
awlmming and soccer fallow
with three per cent each.
Epler. chairman of the Nation

bag a free-swinging battle from
the Boston Braves, 9-7, for
Bucky Walters' 17th win. ,
In the American league' Bob

umph with nine-hit pitching ut
the Cleveland Indians overpow
ered the Philadelphia Athletics,
13-7.
The New York Yankees

the St. Louis Browns on Tom
Henrich's 28th homer in ths
eighth inning after Spud Chand

a masterful mound battle to
that point.
