ship with the great vault OF IL feet Q
Inches. defeating among others Mare
Wright. the worlds record holder Ed
knourek Of the Illinois A G., }. u. Nagle
Of the New York A. {. and Fred Watkins
Of the Los Angeles a. e. At the CEN
trail championships a fortnight previous
youn.s Landers cleared the cros5bar at
- feet 80 inches. when he cleared the
crossbar at IL feet 3 inches at the ma
tional Landers had q good foot 10 spare.
The young Ch!cagoan seems eventually
certain OF hanging UP a new worlds pole
vaulting record.
Arlie Mucks OF the University of Wis
conein seems perhaps more deserving Of
the shot putting berth than does Fat
Mcdonald OF the Irish-Amerlcan \. c.,
but inasmuch as Mucks clearly has
shown his superiority as a discus scaler
the writer gives the discus position to the
Wisconsin collegian and reserves the shot
putting selection for the New York po-
liceman.
Pat CouIdn't Compete.
Through strike duty Mcdonald was I'M
able to compete in the national cham
pionships. and Mucks won the event with
"A put OF 4, feet 2is inches. Had Nc
Donald been present there would have
been a great shot quitting duel between
the two. McDonald's consistent work
throughout the season gives him a clear
superiority over all shot putterr with the
exception of Mucks.
When George Bronder. who was de-
feated by Jimmy Lincoln o. the New
York a. c. at the Metropolitans. turned
the tables on the Mercury Footer In the
nationals. hurting the barbed spear the
pnus A ~, An - ~ - -a,arA tgsa,a - I IN S.-.
6 inches. he did Lincoln out OF a place
on the All American team. Bronder's
record throw at the nationals leaves no
question as to his superiority and to the
Winged Fistite's right to the All Amer
lean selection.
No one can gainsay Pat Ryan's right
to the hammer throwing berth on the
all Americans. Big Pat fairly ou,classed
all OF his rivals in the nationals cham
pionships, hurting the hammer ia feet
8 inches, His only rival In the hammer
hurting ranks. Matt McGrath. only was
able to get the hammer out l59 feet
s% inches. far below his regular form.
Matt McGrath OF the Irish American
A. c.. the worlds record holder with
the SO pound weight. showed II he
is still a real champion by winning the
IS pound weight title at the national
championships with a heave OF 80 feet
bh inches. The footing was mont too
good or Matt would have registered a
better performance.
REM Out Of 1t.
The failure of Eddie REM Of the
Mohawk A.. G. to compete In either the
metropolitan one mile or the national
three mile championships leaves him out
Of consideration for n walking berth on
the all American team. Though George
Goulding OF h Toronto Walkers Club
easily captured the three mile national
championship walk the fact hat III Is
not an American initiates against his
selection OF the all American team.
Dick Remer OF the New York A. c..
who finished second to Goulding In the
nationals. earns the three mile all Amer
lean selection. and Bill Plant OF the
Long Island A. c.. who defeated Rener
and other cracks In the one mile metro.
politan walking hampionsh!p. wins the
all American one mile selection.
The only convincing test for the al
American all around berth is the all
around championships. Avery Brundage
Of the Chicago a. A, captured the title
from IA field OF aspiring contenders and
therefore gets the all American all
around selection. His victory In the ma.
tional all around championships leave,
no ground for questioning his right e
tho all American selection,
