ever, that she hoped to be able to

TRACK TEAM GREATEST
u. S. EVER ASSEMBLED
BY LAWRENCE PERRY

NEW YORK, June 16.-Beyond all
question the greatest track and field
team the world ever saw is on it's
way to France. inspired by a send-off
remarkable for it's enthusiasm and
for the number of those who par
ticipated in the farewell ceremony.
The outstanding character of the
OlmpIc outfit was demonstrated in
the final tests in the Harvard Stadium
at Cambridge on Friday and Satur-
day, where, under adverse conditions
OF 1nclement weather and heavy
track, world records were broken or
equaled.
America is sending to Europe
eleven sprinters who have equaled
or surpassed former world record,
middle distance runners. who have
equaled world figures, hurdlers who
have beaten the world 400-meter
record. high hurdlers who are all in
Earl Thomson's class, shot-putters
who have approximated existing
records, four pole vaulters who have
cleared thirteen feet, and team of
broad jumpers who are all capable
OF twenty-four feet or better.
1t is safe to predict that the United
States will win the international

meet by handsome margin, what
ever scoring system is employed. and
that several Olympic records will be
broken.
Most interesting is the national
distribution of this 1924 Olympic
team. The Pacific coast furnished a
majority of the weight men and pole
vaulters. All the hurdles came from
Illinois or Iowa. With the exception
of Paddock and Richardson all
sprinters and middle distance men
are fasteners. What good distance
men we have-they are few indeed
come from the middle west.
Here is another interesting point
the only college athletes who gained
place on the team hail from the
Pacific coast. Yet there were many
fine eastern and middle western coll
legianS entered in the finals. The
answer seems to be that these ath-
letes shot their mental, if not their
physical bolt at the l. G. A. A. A. A.
and western conference meets and
that also, they wero suffering from
the reaction of rigorous examina-
tions. Colleges on the Pacific coast
close earlier than this side of the
Rockies.
Paddock Is Handicapped.
Even Californians will admit that
Paddock did not do justice to himself
at the Cambridge finals. He came
into the meet with a bad right leg,
and after trying with Scholz for sec
ond place in the 100 meter he was
advised by Lawson Robertson the
trainer and coach not to run another
race. But he insisted upon going in
the 200-meter, and as a consequence
tore the toe nail from his right big
toe, very painful and incapacitating
injury. Murchison, who has not been
well, was advised not to run and did
not.
The feature of the meet was the ex-
traordinary open field running of
Cord Taylor, the former Princetonian
in the 400-meter. Going into the
home stretch he was a bad sixth. AS
the field in front opened out in the
dash for the tape, Taylor stepped on
the gas and went in and out. and in
and out again among the leaders.
passing them all, never touching
man and winning by good five
yards.
Another dramatic incident was the
way Devanney of Bellville, N. j., tried
to work his fellow townsman, young
Irwin, along in the steeplechase. De-
vanney, a record holder, held back
coaching his young friend, and in the
end when Irwin fell utterly all in
Devanney put on speed and finished
third, calling back over his shoulder
too bad, kid. but you gave all you
had, and that's the real stuff" The
incident made big hit.
In the weights spectators saw the
passing of the whales, McGrath being
the only big fellow to survive.
