Simpson. of Missouri. the greatest
hurdler OF all time. is OF course the
central figure in this event. II will
be his third appearance on an Iowa
track. He was member of the Mis-

lays two years ago and probably Will
be a member OF the same team this
year in addition 10 appearing in the
special events. Later that same year
he took part in dual meet between
Missouri and Ames and sustained the

continually and consistently ran the
100 yard hurdles in better than world
marks.
This year. Waldo Ames OF Illinois. a
former star OF the Chicago high
schools. has shown possibilities OF be-
ing a possible formidable opponent Of
the Missouri star. He has made new
amateur records for the indoor event
from fifty 10 seventy five yards. while
his mark Saturday night was new
worlds mark. He is the most grace
full Of the men in the event but lacks
the strength Of even the less known OF

and as he is a fellow with plenty OF
