Arm Motion Makes Simpson
King of Hurdle

In 1913. when Fred Kelly hurdled
over the 120-yard route IN 10 seconds
fiat. breaking a world record that had
stood for 10 years. experts ON track
athletics declared that IL would be
years before the record WAS beaten
again.
Then along came Bob Simpson. Mis-
souri, farmer boy, a raw country lad,
but possessed OF q wonderful phys
siquo, who proved TO be the greatest
hurdler OF all ume-the wonder Of
the track
simpson knocked two-ffths Of a
second of kelly's wonderful record,
and II is now predicted that he will

IN arm action which, experts declare,
save from 1-3Oth 20 1-b0th OF q sec
ond at each hurdle and from lad TO
1-5ih of second over the 100 yards.
Hurdlers have always swung their
arms sideway In going over the sticks,
but Simpson moves his straight for
ward and backward.
The possibilities OF simpsons hur-
ding have not been nearly reached,
according 10 G.. l.. Brewer, director Of
athletics ~ Missouri, where Simpson
attends college.
simpson is like a gold mine whose
surface has only just been scratched,
Brewer said. when he has done 50
much in so short a time. there Is nc
telling what he may do with greater
experience.

citation OF his benefaction to the en-
tire Western Hemisphere in institut-
ing this custom, Father Russell was
presented with an enormous silver
vase engraved with the names Of the
contributors, headed by Philander c.
Knox, then Secretary Of State, and
