YANKS ARE SPEEDY
OVER 44Q(' JUMPS
Taylor, Winner in 1924, and
Gibson Loom Fastest of
American Stars.
BY ALAN J. GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n YEw YORK, May 16.-Where
nj American technique has pre-
VI vailed in the high hurdles
i Yankee speed has carried the
day in the Olympic low hurdles.
Changes In the distance of this fea-
ture of the international meet haven't
made any difference. Uncle Sans tim
Der toppers were just as effective at 200
meters as they have been at the present
distance, 400 meters, TO be run for the
sixth time in this years Olympic games.
F. Morgan Taylor, who first gained
prominence while at the little Iowa coll
lege. Grinnell, won the Olympic 400
meter hurdles four years ago in the
astonishing time of So 3-5 seconds.
Many first-rate quarter -milers don't do
much better than that on the fat. but
Taylor cleared 10 barriers along the
route.
Record Not Allowed.
Through a technicality this mark,
the fastest ever recorded, was not ac-
cepted as world record. but it was
made on a slow track and helped con-
vince experts. among them the Olympic
hurdling coach, Harry Hillman of Dart
mouth, that Taylor is the greatest 400
meter timber topper ever developed.
Strong, rangy and speedy. Taylor.
now wearing the colors of the Illinois
Athletic Club. has kept his competitive
edge and will attempt to upset prece-
dent by repeating his 1924 victory.
Taylor's foremost American rival Of
four years ago. Charley Brookins. an
other Iowan. has left amateur ranks
to take up coaching, but there are .
number of first-claSs prospects. Iowa,
seemingly happy hunting ground for
low hurdlers. has produced another star
IN Frank Cuhel.
Gibson Has Chance.
Then there is Johnny Gibson, Nev
York boy, who beat Taylor in the 40
yard national championships at Linz
coin. Nebr.. last Summer and set o
world record Of 50 3-5 seconds in doing
so. This performance ranks with Tay-
lor's Olympic triumph. These tTo.
Taylor and Gibson. are the only hur-
dlers who have ever beaten SO seconds
for either the 400-meter or 440-yard
distance which are virtually identical.
Germany, England. Sweden and per-
haps Finland viii furnish the main op-
position for the Americans at Amster-
dam. DR.. Otto Peltzer, the German
half-mile record holder, Is well built
for the low-hurdle event and NAV add
1t to his running program Lord David
Burghley. who has broken even with
Gibson in two 4O0-meteF races at the
Penn relays In recent years. IS the
British star.
Petersen Holds Record.
Sten Petersen Of Sweden. holder OF
the official world record, must also Be
reckoned with. So must s. Wien. the
Finnish veteran. who was q contender
IN 1920 and second In 1924. gaining
that position through the disqualificA-
ton of Brockins. the American. for
falling to take one hurdle properly.
A clean sweep Of the pofnt-scoring
places was registered for the U. S. A. In
1920 when Frank Locmis, j. K Merton
and Gus Desch ran l-2-5 in the 400
meter final.

have been advised that aid for strik-
ing miners in Indiana and Ohio, thou
sands of whom are destitute, is be-
ing provided by various organizations,
