 Twenty years ago the 400Jmeter final provoked one of the biggest elbowing controversies of all time. In fact chiefly as consequence of this race British and American athletic ties virtually were severed and feeling of unfriendliness aroused that existed for years af terward.
 It all happened because J. c. Carpenter, Jr., of Cornell was dis qualified after finishing first, Brit. ish officials charging he bored or pocketed and elbowed Lieut. Wyndham Halswell, the English star, as they entered the stretch. Carpenter and w. C. Robbins, an. other Amreican, both finished ahead of Halswell but it was de clared mo race" and ordered re- run. When the Americans, pro testing violently, refused to do so Halswell circled the track alone and was declared the champion.

WILSON FRAGILE ! IN ANKLES ONLY

CHICAGO, May 7-Hack Will sons fragile ankles have folded up on him again, this time at tho beginning of the baseball season. For years the big mans under pinnings have been giving out and impeding his big league career.
 A mighty individual in every other respect physically, Wilson has found his ankles seemingly unable to go along supporting his 1855 pounds indefinitely. The stocky outfielder has been down, but never out, many times from ankle injuries.
 He has been performing nobly in the outfield for the Chicago Cubs and his seeking record is on par. While the ankle injury sends him off to a poor start, Hack always before has galloped out on the field in reasonably quick time, ankles or no.
 When John J. McGraw brought Wilson into the National League, Hack was a great hitter. Along in mid-season he slid into second base and pop went an ankle. Me Graw later shipped him to Toledo.
 The Cubs rescued Wilson from the minors. In his first year with the Chicago outfit, Hack injured an ankle slipping into base dur ing a series with the Giants. He had been hitting hard in the first two games of the series, and, all though wounded, he hobbled to bat as a pinch hitter in the final inning and slammed out hit tha. won the game.
 Last season Wilson was out for short periods because of ankle in- juries. Despite the hazards, he gets back into the game just as quickly as he can, chasing flies, running the bases and hitting as if his ankles were the strongest in baseball.

 America hasn't won the 400 since 1912 but only an accident prevented the final that year from being monopolized by five wearers of the Yankee shield. D. B. Young of Amherst was disqualified in the final trials for elbowing the German, Braun, who thus, al though beaten, entered the final with four Americans.
 Charley Reidpath, the old Syra cuse star now living in Buffalo was victorious in thrilling final but he was compelled to set a new Olympic record of 4S;-5 seconds to dispose of Braun who finished close second, beating out the other three Yankees-Lindberg Meredith and Half.

NEW YORK, May 7-Scotch bag-pipes and American elbows figure conspicuously in the dra- matic history of the Olympic 400. meter foot-racing championship.
 Lifting notes of the one spurred on the little flying parson'' of Edinburgh, Eric Liddell, to record smashing victory four years ago. Too much use of the other cos. America one triumph, in 1908, and prevented her from making a clean sweep of all five places four years later.
 Liddell, the spindle-shanked lit tie Scotchman, scuttled home first at Paris in 1924 in what undoubt- edly was the greatest Olympic "400." Within two hours the Olympic record was shattered three times. In Liddell's wake in the final Imbach, the game little Swiss who had started the record busting, fell and lay semi-consci- ous. Near the tape Coard Taylor of Princeton collapsed as a ten don gave way but somehow man. aged to drag himself across the line to mark up two points for America.
 Taylor, unknown to Head Coach Lawson Robertson, had removed a heavy wrapping of tape that pro tected a weak tendon just before the start, of the final. But the ligament could not stand the strain of the gruelling pace. Fay. Tor broke down and has been out of competition ever since.
 Liddell will not be back to de. fend his laurels this year. Born in China, the son of a missionary, Eric is now at Tientsin, teaching in the Anglo-Chinese College There he has found his life's work.
 It may be just as we'll for oth- CTS hopeful of taking over his title at Amsterdam that Liddell isn't coming back. In his most recent competitive appearance in China the Scot won three races in one afternoon, the 100 meters ir
