Ing 100 yards Of muddy track in the
Drake relays at Des Moines Saturday
in 3 510 seconds, a new worlds time

OF involved calculations which Locke
has occasioned.
Just now he has prominent track

N1oines time should be disregarded
because of the wind at the Nebras-

whether to believe that any aid from
the wind was fully offset by the

Last year Locke twice tied the 100

Paddock's record time of 20 $40 for
