CENTURY DASH IN DANGER.

Dean Cromwell. track coach of

dock. worlds champion 220-yard
sprinter and joint holder of the
worlds record for the 100-yard
dash, declares that the limit Of
human capacity for the 100-yard
dash has not been reached. Pad
dock, he said. or some one else.
will lower the present figure of
8 3-5 seconds for the century run.
Coach Cromwell also trained
Howard Drew. joint holder Of the
1OO-yard record; Fred Kelly, for
mer high hurdle record holder,
and Earl Thompson. whose mark
Of II 2-5 seconds is the present
120-yard high hurdle record.
Discussing the possibility of
lowering the I00-yard record,
Cromwell said: Paddock did the
first 100 yards Of his memorable
furlong in Berkeley as slow as
3 3-5 seconds, then he had to do
and finish the last 20 yards at a
nine second clip in order to finish
the 220-yard sprint in 20 As
seconds. Thus 100 yards in .0933,
100 yards in .O9.2 and 20 yards,
OLA.
You know that Paddock's great
burst of speed at the finish of a
race propels him through space
faster than at any other time. ]
am convinced that Paddock ran
the last 10 yards at Berkeley and
at Stanford in four-fifths of sec
ond. That is at the range Of
eight seconds fiat.
Somebody. either Paddock or
some one else. will lower the 100-
yard record"

PROGRAM GIVEN BY
 PEORIA GIRLS CLUB

PEORIA, Oct. 29-The entertain ment given last night by the seventh and eighth grade girls athletic club at the grammar school auditorium was pronounced by all present the best of it's kind ever seen here. Every phase of the entertainment showed an expenditure of energy and time on the parts of teachers and scholars.
 There were more than 800 voices in the introductory song. Arizona
 Other features of the evening that were particularly good. was a drill. "The Bug-a- Boo Man" by 30 boys and girls from the sixth grade. They were dressed in ghost costumes, ex- cept two witches and two black cats. A Halloween song by four pupils from the Spanish room, is costume, j one of them masqued as a ghost, another as a witch the third as an owl and the fourth as a black cat, was applauded to an encore. Four little tots from the second grade gave q Japanese drill in costume, assisted by Mrs Wilcox.

behind closed gates this week. Several new trick formations have been given the team for use in the game with the Normalites and yenne is guarding against advance guards getting the dope on these plays. The team, though comparatively light for a col lege squad. has an abundance of speed and relies chiefly on the open style of play, at which it excels.
 Forward passing promises to play an important part in determining the victor of Saturdays big game, for both squads are said to be well forti- fled with open formations. The bas- ket ball style oT attack is upsetting dope all over the country tins season and it gives the tighter teams an op- portunity to win over their heavier opponents.
 Following a hard practice session yesterday afternoon, Coach Venne an- nounced his probable lineup for Saturdays game as follows: Whit son, center: Collins and Phillips, guards; Caldwell and Willis. tackles; {; Shelly and Pinkerton, ends; Dyer, quarter; Joy and Sanderson, halves, and Nelson. full. Miller, Thayer. Wilcox, Ridgeway and Getsinger, also will probably get a chance to display their ability.
 The lineup of the normal school team will not be known until the arrival of the squad Friday morning
