performances shown here give an idea
what to expect from the United

gerous man. James Ball, Winnipeg
Canadian 440-yard champion, must be
mentioned for his 5o-second time. He
will improve it greatly in an Olympic
event.
Germany Has a Star.
Germany seems to have the star 400
meter runner of Europe in Buckner,
who. more than once has beaten 40
seconds. and whose best time Is 4S.6.
Buckner has met most of the best
men of Europe during the last year,
and has won his championship races.
So ii is my opinion that he will be the
pick Of the Continents runners in the
race.
Sweden has veteran in Engdahl, who
was third in the 1920 meet. and was
eliminated only in the second semi
final at Paris in 1924, in very fast time
Another winner Of the 1924 games. who
displayed real form is Imhach. Swift
zerland. He won his semi-final In 48
seconds. and appeared to be about the
best for the final. But he tripped on

as the German.
Other runners who look likely In this
race are Andersen. Norway; Astrom,
Finland; Feger. France: Barsi. Hun

good because they have beaten so sec
onds during the last year in their ma
tional meets.
regard so seconds as very fast for
these men. It Is comparable to some
OF the 49-second and even better times
made In the United States. because the
European tracks are not as well kept
and the competition Is not so keen.
Also. have found that many of the
United States 400-meter men are not
rs formidable In Europe as they are at
home, where conditions are Just made
for them. Many runners, who In COL
lege meets. are credited with fast quar-
ter miles. have been eliminated in Olym-

Open Stance Aids
I'm Playing Run.Up


THE easiest way to play golf
shot Is the simplest. For example,
to play the run-up to the pin Mac
faylane makes the clup neao go
through the ball on line. Many OF
us merely flick the wrists--unbend
them after the cock--and impart
not only too much loft but actually
scoop up the ball with TINS move
ment. The result Is distressing.
To play the run-up properly you
stroke through with the right hand
In control. After contact the club
head follows after the ball, and as
low as possible TO the ground. The
arms, which but slightly entered the
backgwing, now swing forward after
the ball. Note In the sketches how

one great aid In making this
follow through Is the open stance.

Famous Runner. World and olympi


THE 400 meters run at Amsterdam
is one of the hardest races In
the Olympic games to figure out
L From an international competi'
tive viewpoint 1t offers the beS'
0eld Of any of the races.
There are IL countries with +00~metel
men whose past performances qualify
them for consideration in looking fol
the winner Of this event. This is ir
contrast with most of the other events
where the strength is localized In three
or four countries at the most,
If tradition Is to play its part In the
race this Summer. the United States
and Great Britain will fight It out for
first place and the majority of the hon
ors which go with the other places. The
United States has won five Of the eight
races run, the others going to Great
Britain.
In 1924. at Paris. the final Of the 400
meters was as follows; First. E. II. Lid
dell, Great Britain; second, H. NJ. Fitch,
United States: third. q, NJ. Butler,
Great Britain; fourth. D. NJ, johnson,
Canada; fifth. j. c. Taylor. United
States. Time. 47:6 seconds, g new
Olympic and world record.
Looking forward to the race in
Amsterdam. it seems to me the United
States is just as well fortified as four
years ago. This cannot be said of Great
Britain, Liddell. who has given up run
nirg in his pursuit of a nliSsionary's
life, will be very hard to replace.
Problem to Pick Best.
The United States, in the selection
Of the four best men, faces the same
problem In the 400 meters as in all
other events except the distance runs.
Scattered throughout the country.
mostly in the colleges, are host Of
quarter -milerS. whose records make
them likely candidates for the 400
meters.
In making their best times these
men. In most cases, have not met one
another. The only check-up is in times
they have made. and have found
this a poor check on more than one
meets which allow q good check, the
National Collegiate A. A., in Chicago
each year, and the I. c. A. A. A A.
championships in the East.
II. e. Phillips. Butler College, won
the former championship. 440 yards,
IN 4e.3 seconds. He is also the ma
tional quarter r-rnile champion. The
I c. A. A. A. A. quarter was won by
+. P. Alderman, Michigan State. In
4S.3 seconds.
From those results would say these
men stand out as the premier run
ners at this time. Haynes, Denver,
has run 40 yards in 48 seconds and
Is a good man. But he was beaten
By Philips In both the college and
national championships.
In the Eastern college Champion
hhips Ross, Yale. and Barbuti, Syra-
cuse. were second and third. Barbuti
showed exceptionally last Winter on
the board tracks.

San Francisco, Cal.-California
bids fair to set a patriotic preced-

ment to establish Negro National
Guard units in the state. Only two
other states in the country have Ne
gro National Guard regiments, Illi-
nois and New York.
Establishment of colored units of
the California Guard wherever found
practicable was urged by the state
officials Of the American Legion as
the result of action taken by the
World War Veterans at their recent
state convention.
Numerous race organizations that
served with credit in the military
forces of the United States, includ-
ing American Legion posts, have been
persistent in their demands for col
ored national guardsmen in the state.
State Commander N. Belgrano, in an
explanation of the Legion's stand,
brough it out that some real recog-
milton is due the colored military
bodies because of the great service
they rendered their country in the
