Close Competition in America
Brings Out Best Athletes,
Says German Ace - Will
Take Germany From Four
to Eight Years to Make an
Athletic Comeback
BY ALAN J. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor

New York, March ga (AP) -
Competition is the life Of athletics
as well as trade. It is the reason
why the United States very likely
will repeat its previous Olympic
track and field triumphs this year,
with Germany probably no better
than third or fourth, in the estima-
ton Of DR.. Otto Peltzer, the fleet
footed Teuton schoolmaster.
"What is the most striking i'm
preston ! have gained here, as con-
trasted with German athletic con-
ditions?" DR.. Peltzer repeated. ut
is that you have such keen compcti-
ton, the kind that brings out the
best of your athletes, in the schools
the colleges and clubs. We have
nothing like it in Germany yet.
"How did | get my start? Very
badly. But l stuck to it, even il
there wasn't much competition. My
long legs helped. liked to run
took good care of my body and
trained faithfully. That's all there
| is to it.
ut will be four to eight years
before Germany's athletic comeback
is complete. We hope to make q
good showing at Amsterdam in the
Olympics, but we cannot hope t
surpass either the United States OF
Finland. Maybe we can beat Great
Britain for third place."
DR.. Peltzer, having completed 8
two months tour Of America, goe.
back to Germany with high hopes
Of carving a place for himself i,
the Olympic Hall Of Fame. He per.
formed no record-breaking feats il
his few indoor starts but, like
Charlie Paddock, he is primarily
fitted for the cinder paths.

with Hahn and Conger. "But the
Olympics ~ that is something else
An Olympic victory lives. It is The
aim Of every amateur"
It is plain that the Olympics have
long been a cherished goal to tho
long.striding Teuton. He talked o.
his regret that, because Germany
was still barred from the games, hi
could not run at Paris in 1924.

Lowe, on the latter's own soil, but
the two famous Martins, Paul of
Switzerland and Serephin Of France.
The German is unlikely to enter

run anchor for his country in the
1,6O0-mcter relay and perhaps also
to enter the 400-mcter hurdles.

collegiate champion, Dartmouth,
next fell prey, followed closely by
Ohio State, Syracuse, Carnegie Tech
and West Virginia.
The Army and Colgate failed to
halt the Panther and Penn State,
Allegheny and Notre Dame dropped
contests to Pitt. Carnegie was
beaten q third time by its neighbor,
then came Washington and Jeffer-
son, Grove City, West Virginia and
w. and ]. again. Penn State fell a
second time, giving the Panther Fl
victories in as many starts and a
fine claim to national collegiate
honory.
But pity the poor Tartan. Besides
its three losses to Pitt, Carnegie
dropped a brace each to West Vir.
GINA, Geneva, w. and ]. and Penn
State and lost single contests to
Davis and Elkins, and Notre Dame.
The Carnegie shooters averaged
IS 4-13 points per game while the
opposition registered 40 3-13.
Pitt had . grand game average
of AZ 6.2l and allowed its play
mates 81 9.21. Play for the Panther
revolved around Hyatt, Wrobleski

scoring with a per game average

DUNLOP COMPANY
HAS new METHOD
TO WASH RUBBER

Engineers of the Dunlop Tire and
Rubber company at Buffalo, have
just perfected an epOch-making new
process for cleaning raw rubber.
While removing all the foreign mat
trial from raw rubber, this process
evolved after long study and expert
entatiOn-entirely does away with
the old method Of washing crude
rubber with water. A new screening
machine has supplanted the former
process.
Research engineers of the Dunlop
company undertook to develop this
machine because it has always been
felt that the washing process tend
cd to wash foreign matter into the
rubber, as well as out of it. Mora-
over, ordinary washing could never
remove all of the wood splintcra
from raw rubber. Such foreign i'm
pTrities have too often caused pin
holes and like troubles in the finish
Cd tube. In addition to cleaning the
raw material thoroughly, the new
Dunlop screening process has the ad-
d,d merit of making the rubber
stronger by removing all trace of
grain. Higher quality tubes are the
result.
In the tube department at the
Dunlop plant, the raw rubber, after
Icing warmed up in a mill, is fore
ed slowly under strong pressure
, through fine screens onto an ex.
, truder. The tiny holes in these
screens are only $4,000 of an inch
IN diameter-400 of them to a square
inch! A steel plate, perforated with
holes 3S of an inch in diameter,
holds the screen in place and the
rubber is forced through it before
reaching the much finer perforated
screening.
This screen retains the various
almost microscopic impurities which
used to escape notice i'll the wash
ing process. 1t has been definitely
proven that rubber cleaned by the
screening process lasts longer than
that done by the washing method.
The finished rubber cannot help but
be absolutely uniform, because 1t
all goes through the screen.
