LOCKE CANDIDATE
 FOR FASTEST MAN
Nebraska's SprintiDg Sensation
 Likely to Ascend to Title

Lincoln, Neb.. May l } CP)-A new and faster human than any who held the title before him, is it Roland Locke, Nebraska's sprinting sensa- tion?
 Indian" schulte, developer of many famous athletes, and track coach of the University of Nebraska, says that his pupil from North Platte, Neb., is the fastest runner who ever broke a tape.
 And Locke is determined to merit the tribute. He flung himself to a new peak of cinder eminence at the Kansas relays when he stepped the century in :09 6-10, clocked by eX- pert timers under ideal conditions. At the Drake relays he was timed in :09 5-10, a new world record, on a muddy track but with a wind at his back Only three runners ever had been recorded in 9.6 at official meets, and none had been caught at 9.5 in a major track event.
 In the Missouri meet he again ldil lllt llulllf fl III ~" '-A'f ''''' clipped three tenths of q second off the 200 yard dash for new record of 20 5-10 seconds.
 Every step of Schulte's protege will be clockcd by A. A. L. timers at the seasons track meets. LoCkc's major effort to set world records for the 100 and tho 20 will Ee made at Chicago, June r, in the national col lcgiate track and field champion ships.
 A tall, rangy runner with supcrla- tive form. Locke is deemed of an ideal mental makeup for a record breaker. He has been bottering his time in the sprints steadily since he ra" the hundred in :l0 2-5 for North Platte high school. His running power extends beyond the short dis tances, for he has travelled the QIartor-mile twice in less than fifty one seconds. During his career as a Cornhusler athlete, Locke also won three letters as halfbaCk on the foot b-ll team and two letters in baseball as in intielder.
 The college competition of the @% year old youth will end in June,

PREDICTS t5-FO0T VAULT
Robert PauIding Who Was Amcri-
 can Champion in 1909 With a Jump of ii Feet Sees New Mark.

Robert TauldinE who, carrying the coIors of inc Soa'iln Athletic club. was American champion in 1909 with II feet predicts that d pole vauitcr will soon reach a height of 15 feet.
 "It will probably take a fall, thin man." he said, with very long arms and tremendous speed 10 reach such a mark-somcon like Charles Hoff 1 thought years ago that pole vaultcrs would reach IA or 15 feet, My best recorded vault was II feet six inches. But I had been taught the old style, no shift Of the lower hand"
 Shifting tho lower hand until it touches the upper one enables the vaulter to pull his body to a higher level before going over the bar. Under the old system the vaulter held his hands two or three feet apart
 Pauldinc said that R. c. Clapn or Yale was the first 10 use the shift

HAVE PREVENTED DEATHS
''Bouncing Walls and Hub High Guard Rails Instrumental in Cut ting Fatalities On Spccdways.

Indianapolis. May 15 P)-"Bounc- ing walls" and hub-high guard rails have been instrumental in prevent ing serious accidents in 5Oo-mile races at the Indianapolis motor speedway in the last six years,
 Pronounced the most dangerous speedway in the world by drivers, the course has been sinEularly free of fatal accidents since 1919, when two drivers were killed. The con- crete walls are so constructed that when a car crashes into them, it is bounced back onto the track in such fashion that it seldom over turns. The improvements to the course were made after 1919.
 On the long straightaways, the guard rails are hub-high, so that when a car slashes into them they hit at the center of gravity and rarely are upset.

ness Manager Jonu 1oplh oL 'A0 Corbin Red Sox concerning the makeup of the team for the present season. James (Jimmy) Clinton has heen signed to fill the catcher's berth on the team.
 J;mmv is one veteran of the dla- mond game who has by no means passed by. He is, as catcher what Clyde Waters is to Bristol. He neV- CT grows old and each year se>S mn getting better Instead of slowing up He was the class of catchers 1e" wears back and among the youhsei clement now in the game. he stands out as the premier catcher or the city.
 The best thing about this bit or news Is the fact that Clinton ls III the best shape of his career ana IS ready to step out on the diamond tonoorrov and do his stuff if nec- essary.
 Lovers of football will be inter ested in the announcement that ni- Ien+ John" Davis, the UnionV1lie schoolmaster, has been signed by inc southington authorities as as sistant principal of the Lewis hlgll school in that town. Davis Will pc ror,emhered for his work against fhe All-New Britain football team last season as a member of Mulll- gan's Blues. His powerful line smashing attack carried him through tho line time and again and fahs in this city greatly admired hlr'' The Lewis High school should nave a good football eleven next fall.
 The Kensington team will be idle tomorrow because of the tact that a number of games which were Tn prospect were not realized. The team will begin its home season next Sal urday in Kensington against the Simsbury team.
 George Mulligan has landed the Kaplan- Garcia fight for Hartford for June 2S, provided a new stadium which is being planned, can be built. The stadium will be set up on the site of the old LeBal Tabarin which was burned down several months ago. If the place is not finished in time for the bout, a la ter date will be set.
 New Britain fans, along with the rest of the lovers of fighting in the state. will be pleased to learn that the Waterbury man has landed the prize bout of this year. Though Kaplan is a Connecticut boy and a Connecticut champion. there are many who figure that Garcia can heat him and this makes the fight a great deal more interesting.
 This ends long controversy be- tween the managers of the cham rron and the New York state boxing commission as to the place and date 1f inc bout. The commission or dcrod Kaplan to meet Garcia at tho Oueensbury stadium in Long Island '"ty on June 1. Mulligan put in a d for the fight and Kaplan de- nlarod that he would accept a su- snonsion in New York state rather han fight anywhere else than in Hartford.
