Within the next two years or SO
you'll doubtless be hearing a great
deal of two college sophomores,
George Simpson and Douglas Gray
don. Simpson, a Splinter, recently
tied the worlds scholastic record OF
e.S for the 100. running for East
High of Columbus, Ohio. College
boys aren't doing much better. Simp,
son plans to enter Ohio State In the
fall. He will be eligible for varsity
competition in 1928.

his university diploma.
REMEMBER
Larry Brown of Penn? Brown
was a star middle distance runner,
especially formidable over the $50.
In 1921 he hung up a world rec
ord Of 2:12.2 for 1000 yards. The

posed Of Brown, Rodgers, Eby and
Maxam, he helped establish q

If you're looking for a dark

Poughkeepsie, you are not likely to
go far wrong by selecting Penn.
The Ouakers. after having caused
little disturbance during the last
