EQUALS 75.YARD RECORD
By PAUL PREP

MISS DOROTHY BAUGH. whose
AVA home is in Norwood, Pa. and who
is n student at the Temple University.
is also an athlete Of wonderful ability.
Yesterday Miss Baueh, competing in
Temples field day sports on Northeast
Field. won the seventy -fivc-yard dash
in ten seconds fat and equaled the
womens collegiate record for the event.
DR., Milton Francois D'Eliscu. NhSsi-
cal director at Temple University. said
that Miss Eaugh did not show her real
ability. ,Iad she done SO sh" would
have smashed the record easily. he de-
clared.
Miss Baugh has been a student AZ
Temple for the last two years. And
she is considered the prrmi all-around
athlete among the girls Of the institu'
ton. She is wonderful high and
broad Jumper. can sprint. throw base
! bal and the shot. is a hurdler ana
basketball PLAYER. To make II more
concise. she ran do anything in the wav
of girls athletics.
II think Miss Baugh. or 'Dottie' as
wc call her, is the best girl athlete
have ever trained. She Is QUICK to
! learn. AMI II is short Of marvellous how
she has developed" said DR.: Ei!Scu.
"Dottie isn't big girl by any
meens: rather, she is Just ABOUT the
right size She isn't too big. but she
isn't small. However. she knows now
to get the most out Of her weight and
size when II comes to athletics and
that's what counts.
The worlds record for the 100
yard dash for women is II seconds nat.
That's pretty fast time for girl but
| J am positive that Dottie can make II.
She has already run the century in
l13 seconds. and with more train
ing should break the worlds mark.
Il intend TO start Dottie training on
Central Highs field either late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning. ! am
going TO get her used to wearing regu-
lar spiked track shoes. and in the future
she will wear running trunks and a
jersey. This ought to help her con.
siderably. as the boomers now worn
are hindrance to the girls while they
are running and jumping.
"A lot of people will object when
they hear that | am going TO let Dottit
wear q regular track outfit. but think
! " Will HSlp Nut sPoi' 49,
women in the West and in Europe
wear the regular track outfits, and hnt
them very helpful. :,
"Dottie, after she is properly trained
is going TO try out for the American
team that will represent the United
States in the international women
games at Brussels and Antwerp mex
fall. And | am confident that she vii
make the team easily.
"At the present she loses second
in starting. and is shy of the gun
with time I will be abe to correct thes,
faults, and she will be able to knocl
all of the records for loop. She alst
has bad habit Of throwing her arm
in front of her while running insteat
of swinging them. ! can correct thi
too, along with teaching hcr to keel
in certain stride and not to chang
her strides too often.
Yes, with proper training. Dotti
will beat the best of them, and ] an
looking for her to smash the world
records for the 70 and 1OO.yard dashe
for women in the near future.
I'I have another girl In the schoo
who will break worlds record befor
long. Miss Bertha Weiss Is the ath
lcte. The worlds record for the run
ming broad jump Is 16 feet. Mis-
= Weiss has jumped IS feet 8 inches, an
2 7 am sure she will be able to do
half foot better within the next fey
= months
