Students at Georgetown Uni
versity in general and Coach
John D. O'Reilly in particular,
have much justification for the
pride they take in their young
sprinter, Karl Henry Wilder
muth, who has been burning up
indoor boards the last couple of
winters and who will be in Cam
bridge, Mass, this summer MAX
ing the good old college try IN
an attempt to become member
of Americas Olympic track
team.
The lad with the whippet legs
has created a world of admira-
tion in his own behalf at the
hands of competent critics who
declare that KarPs ability to get
off the mark equals if not bet
tiers that of Loren Murchison--
supposed to be one of the quick
est starters of recent track his
tory.
Just twenty years of age, the
Georgetown sophomore is be-
ing picked by many coaches, in
Guiding O'Reilly, to become
second Charlie Paddock, for
right now WiIdermuth can hold
his own with the best sprinters
in the land and they say he has
not yet really reached his top
form. He is at present the A.
A. u. national 60-yard cham
pion and will defend his title
a week from tonight at Madi-
son Square Garden, New York.
Not one Of the least argu-
ments in favor of Wildermuth's
reaching the dizzy pinnacle of
fame achieved by Paddock, Muir
Gibson and others, is the fact
that the youth is still modest
and unspoiled, despite the fact
he has beaten some of the best
fields in the track world. He is
entirely unaffected by the prom
inence he has gained, and his
retiring disposition impresses all
who come in contact with him.
Even after his feat of finish
ing second to "Truck" Miller,
the Harvard flash, last Saturday
night in the 50-yard finals, after
winning his heat in the sixty
yard dash in the splendid time
of 6 2-5 seconds, Wildermuth is
not Boosting that he will make
the Olympic team and score
some points in Amsterdam for
Uncle Sam. He only declares,
and with characteristic BASH
fulness too, that he will be in
there trying, and hopeful of
being placed on the team.
Of his sterling protege, John
O'Reilly says with pardonable
pride
"Karl is just starting to run.
He's only a boy and his legs
will get stronger as he goes
along. He's exceptionally fast
in getting away from his mark

and has q kick at the finish.
His fast start has won more
than one race for him.
"He is what one might call q
perfect sprinter. Like Chef
Bowman, he runs close to the
ground and his feet are never
more than a foot and a half off
the floor. You know most
sprinters have that high knee
motion. But Karl does not
bring his knees up high, and his
arm motion is excellent. He
runs straight during the race
and does not throw himself
against the tape, like some of
our sprinters."
When Kemper Cowing calls
this department, which he does
about twice a year, he always
wants one of two things. Either
he wishes to invite one to the
annual dinner of the White
House Photographers Associa-
ton or he has an act coming to
the House of Albee which he
believes will interest addicts of
the sporting columns.
This time Mr.. Cowing has
rung the bell in behalf of
Messrs, Altrock, Engel and
Schacht, and wishes to warn
the public of Washington that
beginning tomorrow night, the
baseball comedy trio will be at
Keiths twice daily for seven
days or some such a matter.
The boys, says Mr.. Cowing,
have some brand new gags, a
new line of limitations and
all new scenery including per-
sonal garments, horse blankets,
beer bottles and custard pies.
Come one, come all, is the bur-
den Kemper's lay.
No doubt there will, be many
