Hoyt Of Grinnell Ia chosen for the
TO yard selection over Moore OF Prince
ton. who captured the intercollegiate
furlonG championship. At Des Moines
reputable watch holders caught Hoyt in
the great time Of 81 2-5 seconds. a new
round the turn furlong record. Qualified
experts who have seen Hoyt In action
say he is capable Of the feat credited
him. Moore showed his heels to a
great field OF furlongers In the I. c.
A. A. A. A. championships and his selec-
ton as second string man will go un-
questioned.
Meredith's record wrecking quarter
mile In ~ 4-5 seconds at the intercol
legiate championships gives him undis-
puted right to the quarter mile posi-
ton. Binga DESMOND. the negro ath-
lete from Chicago. was credited with
stepping a quarter mile In the same
time as did Meredith. but the track
upon which DESMOND accomplished the
feat WAS measured eighteen inches
from the border, and he thus ran sew
eral yards less than did the flying son of
Pennsylvania. DESMOND defeated the
hest or the middle Western quarter
milers in the conference championships
and Is deserving OF second string posi-
tdoR.
Many Good Quarter Miiers.
