RECORD BREAKING
SECTIONALMEET
SHOW OFF TALENT
Athletes Should Be Bet
ter by Next Year.
BY WALTER EcKERsALL.

3uAL Ino UNIVERSITIES ana COueEea
WIN furnish most material for the
American team which win compete in
the Olympic games in France next
summer In shown co~nclusively by re-
Eufts Of the sectional intercollegiates
IN which worlds and national records
have been broken
The redeeming feature about the
record Emashers is hat they are In
their prime and should be even better
next summer. Most of them have
stm another year Of competition. while
those who graduate have decided to
cast their lots with the various ath-
letic clubs In order to receive the prop
er coaching and competition to keep
In trim for the worlds games
For years American athletes have
been unable to compete successfully
with the Swedes, Danes. and Firms in
the 5avelin throw. In fact, this Is
about the only event In which Yankee
performers have failed to show SUI
premacy since the Olympic games were
revived back In the late nineties. Per-
severance. however, has resulted in
the DEVELOPMENT of two shaft hurlers
who should score points on the other
! and may smash the worlds REQ
ord for the event before the teams
san for France
Angler Holds Record.
Milton Angler of the University OF
Illinois holds the national record in
the event at 200 feet 9h inches. He
made this mark at the Drake relay
games this spring. Recently he es-
tabllshed a new western conference
mark Of 1913 feet 1o% inches. In the
eastern intercollegiate. held at Phila-
delphia- Storrs Of Yale hurled the shaft
1ss feet 1 inch. Considering the fact
the worlds record in the event is 2o4
feet b& inches, performances of tho
Americans warrant ii successful show
Ing on the other side. Z. V. Lemming
of Sweden Is the holder of the worlds
5avelin mark. which he made back in
1919.
In the recent western conferences
games Charley Brookins of Iowa es-
tablished a new worlds record of "a Is
for the 220 yard low hurdles. Consid-
ering the fact the old record OF :23 IS
stood since 1898. the achievement
of the Hawkeye Is deserving Of more
than passing mention, because of the
many wonderful murders developed in
h last twenty-five EAR Brookins
has another year at Iowa and may inn
prove to shave his own mark by the
time the Olympics are held
Better Century Mark.
Time made in the 100 yard dash in
the eastern intercollegiate. western
conference, and Missouri Valley CON
ference was better than ten seconds.
This is Indicative OF the fact America
will be well fortified in the event.
Lever Of Pennsylvania took the sem
fury In Philadelphia in 100 As. and
Whitman OF Michigan won the same
race In the same time at the Big Ten
games. Erwin Of Kansas Aggies won
the dash in the Missouri Valley In
:os s-1o.
e. c.. Wilson of Iowa has shown tho
best time in the furlong. He won his
heat and fnal OF the 220 yard dash in
the western conference in :21 Is.
which broke the Big Ten record and
tied the eastern intercollegiate mark
The event was won by Lovejoy OF
Cornell in ri As at the eastern inter-
collegiate and by Erwin of Kansas
Angles in the valley meet in ri $40.
Charley Paddock. however. did not
rug In any of the sectional intercol
legfates. but from the way he per-
formed on his recent trip to France
he may be able to beat any Of the
flyers who came to the front in the
sectional games.
Another performance which indicates
the strength Of tho American team
was that of De Hart Hubbard of Mich
igan. who broke the Big Ten record
in the running broad jump with n leap
of rs feet III inches. This is only III
inches shy OF the worlds mark, made
by Z. o. Gourdln OF Harvard in 1921.
Hubbard is expected to shatter the
worlds record before next summer and
he may accomplish his desire next Sat-
'urday, when the national collegiate
games are held on Stagg field.
New Hammer Champion
Tootell OF Bowdoin should be the
next worlds hammer throw champion
In the eastern intercollegiate he tossed
the ball ISL feet 6is inches. which Is
not far from the record held by Pat
Ryan at 1879 feet 81 inches. Hills
Of Princeton is by far the best college
shot putter in tho country. He is
expected TO improve on his mark OF
~ feet SIX inches, made In the east
ern intercollegiate. Like Tootell. the
Tiger il being coached to smash the
worlds record of 81 feet. made by
Ralph Rose in 1909.
Brownell Of Illinois cleared the har
IN the pole van at IS feet 2 inches in
the western conference meet. This is
higher than any college performers
have dnpe this year, and is only -four
iBehac below the worlds record Other
varitcrs have come dangerously close
to clearing thirteen feet. but the I'LL
nois athlete is the only n to clear
the dizzy height.
The above are only n few of the
many promising college athletes who
should make the American olympic
team. AL arc competitors of the type
who will como through despite h
cnliber OF the competition. and h list
should be greatly increased with the
holding OF the same sectional inter-
collegihtes next spring.
