TENDER. Among those surprised by the
form shown by the Westerner was Her
man Obertunbesing, Handicapped for this
to pick the winners Of scratch events.
In his selection for the 90 yards ODER
tubbesbng overlooked the Chicago man and
had q little laugh a the expense OF West
ern timers when told that LOomis could
step in even time. The laugh was turned
when Loomis came home in front Of
Alvah Meyer in 10 - seconds. and that
on a bad day and track.
In addition TO winning the l00-yard
dash LOOMS carried on the honOrs in the

In the company that is provided at the
national meet What made these per-
formances more remarkable was the fact
that he had to go straight from winning
his heat in the hurdle race ana take his
trial AT the high Jump. Then he went
back shortly after TO run the final OF the
hurdles LOOMS IS entered In events
corresponding 10 those he won at the
CHAMPIONSHIPS, but as all are handlcaps
