/ In other words we nave nad oul
! various battles of the century in
the ring; now, we may have our
dash of the decade on the track.
The men they propose to involve
| in the transaction muster the fast.
est quartet of shanks known to
| man or. at least they will suffice
| in this respect until such time as
/ legs become wings.
Williams beat everybody except
the starter when he Won both
sprints at the Olympic games
and, on Saturday night. he
certified these performances by
winning two races at 50 and SO
wards in the smartest kind of
company on a strange indoor
track. He looked the part Of =
man who could win--and does
regardless of conditions.
He had g talk with a representa-
tive of Ohio State before the Mil.
rose games and, while he didn't
commit himself definitely on the
proposal in question he indicated
that it appealed to him,
simpson, being an Ohio State un-
dergraduate. has accepted the invi-
tation of his home games. So has
Bracey, who twice beat Simpson in
cIinking time at the national col
legiate games, and later made the
OLYMPIC team. Simpson, however,
broke down while leading his heat
in the Olympic trials.
II is my understanding that
wykoff. who got into the Olympic
finals of the 100 meters, only to blow
bis great chance. hasn't been APP
preached vet by the Ohio State peo-
pie.
THE tentative program is to have
the quartet appear in two races on
the program at 100 and 22O yards,
thus deciding the worlds champion
shin tn the satisfaction of all They
can't hope to go far with matter
IKE that without the assistance of
Wvkoff. who generally is regarded
az tha leading American sprinter Of
tha day, without Williams. He is
tbe worlds champion now and no
hodv vet has discovered a way Of de-
Gliding a championship without the
4 assistance of the champion con-
cerned.
Incidentally, this young man
looked TO be a champion in every
move at the Millrose games. He
isn,t an indoor runner, but they
dronned him in with men who spe-
ciaIize in board-floor sprinting-
Pown1an. former national and inter-
colleeiate champion; Wildermuth,
the indoor titleholder; Jim Daley, of
IJoIv cross, and Jimmy Quinn, pres
eut intercollegiate champion. He
,.took,' Bowman and Daley in the
onening race at 60 yards, after stak-
ing them to the jump.
The Washington times., 1929-02-11

Then. in the 60-yard event, the
starter caught him off balance. And
he was away last behind Wilder
ruth, Daley and Quinn. He beat
Them all and, finally, gave Frank
Hussey q sound defeat in the relay
The Washington times., 1929-02-11

He didn't have to beat Ed
Hamm, of Georgia Tech, since
tbe worlds champion broad
iumper was left on the mark.
Rut he had to come from be-
hind in a short race to beat the
others and only real champion
can do that.

EUROPE INTERESTED
IN RADIO CONGRESS.
Prague Conference Will Re-
wise Wave Lengths for
Continent.

GENEVA OP).-With European fans
steadily increasing, broadcast enthusi-
asts are looking forward with profess
sional interest to the Prague congress
of April which will revise European
ware lengths.
The Interna ,iunal Broadcasting Union,
with headquarters at Geneva, has made
a preliminary study of the wave length
question. It will be submitted to the
Prague conference.
The study has been confined to Eu-
rope. as far as STEAMBOAT, but does not
include Russia, which is not affiliated
with the union. Nevertheless, the Rus
isan situation has to be taken into con-
Sideration because OF the contigulty OF
European Russia and the ever-present
complication of conflict of wave lengths
Not including France. some 36,000.-
600 people in Europe listen to the pro-
grams sponsored by the broadcasting
union. About 100000 homes have
licensed" receivers. Only recently
Germany has surpassed Great Britain
in total listeners. officials here say that
2.635.0 German homes are paying "a
marks a year for broadcast service. The
British total is about 10000 under this
number.
For its population, Denmark has the
highest percentage Of sets. The great
est recent advance has been made in
Austria and Hungary. with Czecho-
slovakia close third. Some 5000 miles
of telephone wire arc employed for
nightly broadcasting of programs to the
most nothern points of the Scandi-
navian peninsula.
Broadcasting officials are particularly
proud of the recent broadcast of mar
ratives of the Winter sports of Davos
Switzerland, to Oslo, Norway. The
Norwegians wanted special service on
these sports.
