Followers Of track and field sports
In America have picked many teams
from the list OF entries that have com.
peted the last year, and many diner
ent selections have been made, but
the above list perhaps comes as close
TO the all-star standard as any that
might be selected.
Many track followers In Honolulu
and on the mainland still believe that
Howard Drew should have place on
the team, and others will wonder why
HORNE. Beeson or Richards are not
mentioned in the broad jump. but last
year Drew, the colored Splinter, fell
down in his work, and barely started
IN the A. A. u. meeting in San Fran
cisco. HORNE and Beeson are prac-
tIcaily out OF IT,. as neither Californi-
an has worked much in the last year;
neeson and HORNE Lead.
THESE two men are the greatest
high jumpers in the world despite the
fact that they have practically retired
from competition. Eddie Beeson holds
the record, and HORNE has record
that approaches the mark OF the for
mer California star. When HORNE
was at Stanford and Beeson was at
California, the high jump event was
worthy of note, and although good
friends the two were great rivals.
Sweeney had held the high jump
record for many years, and two years
ago HORNE and Beeson we're both en-.
tered In the event at the time of the
Coast intercollegiate. The devotees
OF the sport were watching for some
thing, and HORNE startled the fans by
jumping higher than the coast record.
Then DR.. Beeson tried, and when the
bole had been hoisted up to a mark
higher than Sweeney had made, and
Beespn made It. the crowd at Berke
ley went mad.
oler Gets Place.
1nasmuch as Richards did not ap.
proach HIS work of last year, the place
IL given to w. NJ. Oler, who has a con.
sistent record for the year. Sam Bel.
lah, a former Stamford star. is picked
for the pole vault. Bellah has not
broken any records in the past year,
hut he has been consistent and won
the vault honors at San Francisco
from Bergstrom and other stars.
Loomis defeated Meyer at San Fran
cisco, II is said by the officials, but the
men who were at the tape agreed
with but few exceptions that Meyer
was In the lead In the century when
he lift the tape. The photograph OF
the finish shows the lrish-American
representative leading the Chicago
boy. Loomis has made q great record
In the sprints, but one would hardly
take him for sprinter. To the track
critics he looks more like miller than
q dash man. Roy F. Morse, the col
cred high school boy, is given the
place in the furlong.
Neither sprinter of the year figures
up to the standard Of the men in the
past. Wefers, Hahn, Ramsdell. Rect.
or, Craig. Lippincott, Bond and Drew
have made better marks on more &C.
casions. Morse is a new man, while
Meyer is slipping. The latter has
run In q number OF meets around
Gotham, and it is hardly expected that
he will win next year With Drew back
In condition and Robertson coming to
the front.
Ted Meredith q star
TED Meredith takes the prize in the
quarter and this great runner de.
serves IL. He won from the best in
San Francisco and ever since he left
Mercersburg academy he has been a
wonder. His triumphs at the Olym.
pics are only one of the things that he
has accomplished. Over in San Fran
cisco they have great little quarter
miller in Sloman. 1T is a treat to
watch him run. At the A. A. U.
games he made AZ with the wirc, ami
on the afternoon of the next day gave
Meredith a great race to the tape,
when the Pennsylvania runner fin
ished in AZ nat.
Leroy Campbell wins the title in
the half-mile this year. The Chicago
flyer was the winner against a great
field at San Francisco, and although
the time was slow owing to the wind
up the back stretch, the Maroon dis.
lance man showed that he was the
best that the Midway could produce
Campbell won from Caldwell, one OF
the creates. half-milers of the year,
and his victory over Bonnet was pro
