Seven of Worlds
Greatest Sprinters
In FOrdham Meet

Seven Of the greatest sprinters in
the world will be seen In action at the
annual indoor games OF Fordham
University on January 20 In series
Of special sprints, which will feature
the program Of thirteen events. This
Is an unusually large field for sprints
and the distances, rs, 80 and 100
yards are unusually long for indoor
dashes. but the long straightaway at
the 22d Regiment Armory will enable
the seven stars 10 race In comfort.
The name of Charley Paddock alone

Of any national championship. Jake
Weber, trainer and track coach 1t
Fordham, invited Paddock, but the lat
tor declined. He said, however. that
IL II we're possible he would rather
come East for Weber than any one else.
Weber, It will be recalled, handled
Paddock AZ the 1920 Olympics and
again in Pasadena last year.
Heading the list Of starters In the
sprints is Bob McAllister, the flying
cop. present holder Of the national
1O0-yard championship. Eddie Far
