POLITICAL OBSERVATION,
BY OUR SCRIBBLER

The political pot has begun to DOH
but it is rather earlv to forecast, so
we will try to skim over the top
and watch the bubbles. The great
fight this year will be centred around
the governorship. Gov. Richardson
still has the dopesters guessing, as
he has made no announcement as
vet, but every move on the checker
board denotes that the governor
will be in the fight, but it is evident
that the administration will have to
out up a defensive battle, which to
old politicians means losing tight.
There is no getting around the fact
that there is much dissatisfaction
against some of his appointees which
will react. Lieutenant-Governor
Young thinks the chair at Sacra-
mento will about fit him, and he is
bidding for favor upon campaign
directed against Gov. Richardson's
economy programme, and the State
expenditures. The orange belt will
trot out horse, and it looks like it
NAV be Mayor Cryer.
Geographical conditions will de-
termine some of the fights. This
will influence the result of the
Senatorial race, and it does not look
any too good for our Sam Shol fridge.
We must not forget that county
officers will be chosen this year.
Remember that the old register
has been cancelled and you must re-
register if YOU expect to vete at any
of the elections this year.

 Yesterdays thirteenth victory was gained at the expense of the Boston Red Sox, who solved the delivery of the veteran Urban Shocker only five time, one of their hits a home run by Carlisle.

CBY CHARLEY PADDOCK)

The most spectacular part of a sprint race is the finish Inciden- tally, it is the most important. Many great runners have lost their biggest matches right at the tape and many another unknown performer has won international recognition by an excellent driving finish that has brought victory over the favoritc.
 Arthur Duffcy used what was known as the ''lunge" finish, where both arms were thrown far behind and the chest was pushed into the string. far ahead of the legs.
 The 'lunge" is still accepted. as one of the best methods of finish ing. But Loren Murchison, Morris Kirksey. among the modern day sprinters, as well as Jackson Scholz, use the style which Bernie Wcafers made famous two decades ago. It is known as the "shrug" finish and consists Of throwing one side Of tho body into the tape, with one arm up and with the same lean as is cm- pIoyed in the "lunge."
 The 'shrug" has the advantage over the 'Iunge" in that the side of the body hits the tape instead Of the chest and is q gain of six inches, everything else being equal. And six inches is more than enough 10 win a close race.
 Back in high school days l once saw man give great natural jump at the finish of race and gain tremendously on his field. Ii was perfectly natural for that man to jump for the string. He had not planned to do it. but. when he saw his chance Of victory slipping from him, he threw himself into that tape. And it was helpful.
 l tried it and found that it was natural for me. ] increased the length of my last stride until fl be came literally a jump. T. gave mr also the chance to turn the side of my body into the string, thereby employing the best results of the "shrug," and sometimes l jump too high and lose by it. But when performed correctly, it will gain al- most two feet in a close race.

OTTO VS. FOOTE
Torrlngton Bowler, Still in the Run ming, Wants to Beat "Cncle Joe in the Worst Way.

A real feature in the state indi- vidual duckpin bowling tournament is scheduled for tonight at Rogers alleys when Otto of Torrington, who has proved to be one of the most dan gerous men i'll the league, meets Joe Foote. Otto has a chance to cop first place with the proper breaks and after he trimmed Anderson in two sets recently, the fans in this city are anxious to see Foote ride over him tonight. It Is foregone conclusion that Otto will do all in his power to beat June Joe" but he has a tough job on his hands and he knows it.
 Following the Foote-Tcller match two weks ago at Rogers, Otto who was visitor, rolled II strings and hit for an average of 121. With the Tor rington man going at this rate and Foote in the best of form, tonight go should be one of the best of the season.

 O
DOUBLE FEATURE CARDED SATURDAY
High School Track and Baseball
 Teams to Play at Home

A double attraction will be offered N. B. H. S, Saturday when the track team will meet South Manchester at 10 o'clock in the morning and the baseball team will play the first of q home and home game series with Hartford High school at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
 Every effort is being made by their teammates to get the ineligible members up in their studies for the baseball game. Those who win make world of difference in the Red and Gold lineup if they are used are Captain Tim Clair at shortstop. John Howard at third, and Tom Weston at second base. It is eX- pected that Joel Adams will be groomed as q pinch hitter if he is right for the game.
 Hartford High has good record and is anxious to add the New Brit ain team 10 it's list of victims. With New Britain's strong lineup in the game it should be a close battle.
 One Of the closest meets of the season is predicted for the x. B. south Manchester contest. The time made in each event by both teams this year has been almost equal. In cidently the stars of both teams an sWer to the same name-Bray.
 Ten events will be run off as fol- lows: 100 yard, 20 yard, 44O yard. $50 yard and mile runs, and the running high, running broad jumps. the shot put, discuss and javelin throws.
 There is a possibility of Ted Wes- sels being eligible for the meet. He was injured q short time ago and has been ineligible to participate since. Fe is a strong high jumper and would be great help in the field events. The latter events are the weak links of the team and added strength there would be q great help in the final score.

10 POUND SHOT IS
 MARK ID TRY FOR
Has Not Been Put Fifty Feet in
 Fifty Years

Cambridge, Mass, May 25 Pl- No athlete in fifty years of inter- collegiate track and field champion ship competition has put the 16- pound shot a distance of 50 feet, Eddie Farrell Harvard coach, notes in predicting that this feat may be accomplished next Friday or Satur- day in the fftieth annual title meet here.
 "The East has no Ralph Hills this year 10 head off the Pacific slope. but Clarence Houser of Southern California, the Olympic champion, and Elmer Gerkin of California probably will know they have been in q battle before emerg- ing from the week end competition. Houser is one Of the three wonder ful small mon-and by small men I mean less than l96 pounds-who have made history in the I. C. A. A. A. 4. shot putting competition. The others were E. l.. Bcattie of Colum- bia and Bud Whitney of Dartmouth whose performances carried them to the crest before the war,
 "Housor, who was beaten for the shot putting championship last year by Hills of Princeton who was forced to improve the association record to win the title from Houser last year. l have never seen d shot butter with Q more marvellous lift than Hills. If he had had the drive and nervous energy of Houser, 1 believe that he would have smashed Ralph Roses record Of 51 feet 10 smithercens. The first man who can combine the qualities Of Hcuser and Hills will put the shot 54 feet
 Most track enthusiasts know that shot-putting is the art Of over coming gravity. To do this one must combine speed, strength and weight, co-ordinating all three to gain the best possible form. When q shot butter learns his art there should be no strain. And yet l consider the shot put 10 be the most difficult of all field events to thoroughly master,
 Another factor to consider Is that competition really is a deteri- mcnt to q good shot butter. In some events the athlete can do bet fer work when the competition is keen. In running events it is an asset to be keyed up. but that does not apply in the shot put,
 Interest in shot putting among colegians is traccable, I believe. to the desire for football men to take up weight events for off-season training. It is natural that they should turn 10 weights and yet it is difficult task for the big man to perfect timing and rhythm. which are aIl-important 10 the shot butter
 Tn 49 meets the winning put mas exceeded 4 feet on eight occa- sions, including the last four suc- cessive meets. The record has been improved 20 times in fifty years the improvement in this event hay ing been more gradual than in any oi the original events on the pro- gram, Athletes from 15 colleges have won the event, including Yale. 10 times; Princeton, g; liar ward. :; Columbia, 1; Dartmouth, 4; Pcnn 9; Michigan, .; Stanford. 2; Stevens, 9; Swarthmore, 2; CaIifor- nia, Cornell, Lafayette, New York University and Maine, 1 each.

THIRTY-TWO COLLEGES
 ENTER JUBILEE MEET
Total Of S60 Athletes To Gather In Harvard Stadium Friday and Sat urday Of This Week.

Cambridge, Mass. May 25 LPl- The golden jubilee of American track and field competition, the forthcoming l. c. A. A. A. A. meet, will bring S60 athletes from thirty two colleges to toss the cinders from their fleet heels in the Harvard sta- dium Friday and Saturday.
 Founded in 1876, when the first meet was run off at Saratoga, the intercollegiate association of anna teur athletes of America has grown rapidly. A steady increase in mem- hership, and in achievement has marked its progress through the years, until it is now considered the greatest event of it's nature. with the sole exception of the Olympics.
 This years meet in addition to its anniversary flavor, promises 10 be one of the greatest in years. The Pacific coast trio. California, Stan ford and Southern California, bring east a galaxy of stars that look to place their colleges among the first eight in the final computation of points.
 Southern California. last years winner, expects to repeat. but is considered to have formidable com petition in the Stanford, Yale, Har- yard and Penn. A group of coaches who met last Saturday 10 dope" the meet, agreed that only 15 colleges have scoring chances. due 10 the fact that only the super-athletos sur vive the first days trials. Besides the foregoing, these included Cali fornia. Princeton. Syracuse, George town. Cornell, Penn State, Boston College. Columbia. NJ. I. T. and Dartmouth.
