SIX NEW RECORDS
! To COME ON BOOKS
BY RECENT EVENTS
Bob McAllister Gets Four; One
to Boston College and One
to Dartmouth Man.

| New York, March 1O.-Six new
worlds indoor records will come on the
/, books as a result of recent events.
-Four of these will go to Bob Meal
| lister, newly arrived sprint marvel, at
the ITO, 100, 13O and $50 yards dis
| tances, made in the Thirteenth Regi-
| ment games in Brooklyn.
Jake Driscoll. of Boston college.
broke his old 500 yards mark Of 50 1-5
seconds, when he won the Buermeyer
cup in the New York A. G. meet, doing
So 3-5 seconds. The second record fell
to Leroy Brown, the Dartmouth high
| jumper, in the HarvardCornell-Da Dart
| mouth meet in Boston. Brown took
the record recently made in the Mill
rose meet by Murphy Of Notre Dame,
now stand at 6 feet AZ inches.
McAllister's running stands out
somewhat from that Of the others due
| to his being such an inexperienced ath-
lete. He has literally leaped into fame
as a sprinter, and the recent perform
ances by him seem but forecast Of his
future on the track Seldom do record
breakers spring from the novice class
as has this New York policeman.
Beat Two Great Runners
Driscoll's running in the N. 7. A. G..
meet comes next in Importance of mer-
itious performance. Jake had two great
runners to beat in the Buermeyer 500
yards. and he did it in very mastery
way. His race could not have been
better timed; had he made his try
earlier it would have been his defeat,
as it proved to be of his two oppon-
ents.
Koppisch took the pace in this race
- rfo q
covered in 80 As seconds. with kop-
pisch leading, Stevenson Of Princeton
right on his shoulder. Driseoll con-
tented himself in trailing this pair un-
til the quarter mile distance was COW
cred then came up ON the outside;
Koppisch and Stevenson were dead
from the early running and could not
hold the squirt. which Jake uncorked
to win by fair margin.
Browns jumping was not inspired
by competition. so is all the better
His nearest competitor could clear but
5 feet 111a inches, showing that the
Dartmouth man was not pushed to MS
utmost.
Spikes Arc Great Help
The chance to use spikes on spe-
cially built soft wood track has been
a great boon to the runners, with the
result that the game has been made
much safer The same is true Of the
pits for the jumpers who in the past
ran the risk of serious injury.
Dricolrs running this season has
been quite up to his best. and he has
demonstrated the strength of the con-
tention Of those who felt that he re-
ceived anything but a fair deal at the
Antwerp Olympiad. Jake is born
runner with first class style and
plenty of racing courage.
Yale uncovered in Comins. fresh
man. promising sprlnter, who ge.s
away from the mark in great shape.
The former Worcester schoolboy won
all three of the dashes from field
that included Bernie Wefers and Bob
McAllister. equalling the worlds rec
ord of Z is seconds for 20 yards. This
was great going for racer OF any
age.
McAIlister is not suited to the short
or great distances. He is solid. top
of-the track runner, who has great
burst of speed after the first 30 YARDS,
in which he reminds one of Charhe
Paddock and the late John Y: Crum.
Once we'll under way. the field comes
back to him fast, but he was no match
for the New Haven youth when 1t came
to getting under way.
Jackson Sch0lZ mas peeH uistAppoih@
ing In this respect this season. At one
time or another most of the leading
sprinters have beaten him at the start,
something that at one time was his
speciality. For the last two, years.
Loren Murchison was supposed to be
the fastest man off the mark IN the
east. Then Scholz beat him in the
start twice out of three times. and ne
was left down on his heels at Antwerp.
Recently Murchison has come back to
his old form, and it is greatly to the
credit of young Conins that he was
able to get away in front OF thl re-
markably quick starter.
