Murchison has just rounded out
one OF his most successful indoor
seasons. Time after time he led fast
fields to the tape over the board
tracks, and he easily retained his ma
tional 60 and 500 yard indoor titles
In the last Olympic games Murchison
was not al his best, finishing sixth in
the 100-meter dash, but this year IL
he goes over. and II is practically
certain that he will, he will be count

member of tho Pacific coast squad
who is counted on heavily. kirksey
finished second to Paddock in the
last Olympic games in the 100 meters,
and will come east for the try-outs
with d great deal OF prestige.
One of the few runners TO score a
victory over Murchison during the in
door season which has just closed was
Chester Bowman, the Syracuse Uni
versity sprinter. This athlete has
come forward as quickly as any dur
ing the past indoor season and he is
looked upon at Syracuse as q sue
cessor to Allen Woodring, who cap
tured the 200-meter honors at Ant
werp in 1920. Woodring still is in
competition, running under the colors
of the Millrose a. c. of New York, and
he may become factor in the try
outs. but his work during the last
year would indicate that he has lost
some Of the speed which brought him
his championship at Antwerp.
Then there are Al Leconey, the for
mer Lafayette star; Louis Clarke,
Johns Hopkins: Bob McAllister. New
York; jackson V. Schoiz, New York;
Francis Hussey, the New York school
boy marvel who WAS clocked in . 3-5
for the century last year. and Bernie
Wefers. jr. Boots Lever, former Penn
State. who was counted on to make
attempt
All OF these men have chance OF
making the team, with Paddock and
Murchison the only ones who are
practically certain of being chosen.
The battle for the remaining positions
on the American combination should
provide some OF the closest competi-

only TO be expected that with such a
strong field tearing down the track
