are being broken that the prophets
are looking through the glasses and

Charley Paddock. the fastest thing

He expresses the opinion that the
distance will be covered some day

be done in nine FIAT.
Greater speed than 9-i5 seconds
Is impossible. The muscles cannot
stand up under a more terrific
strain" he says.
While there Is no doubt that the
present day athletes are becoming
more and more proficient IL must
not be overlooked that practically
all OF the running records broken
this year were due TO the adoption
