WILLIAMS WILL
| RACE IN boston
Canadian Schodboy Faces Sc
we're Test Saturday Night

Boston, Jan. 81 (UP) - Percy
williams tho Canadian schoolboy
whose name was impressed indelibly
upon sport annals through his VIC
tories at the Olympic games last
summer, will face one of the major
tests OF his brief career here Satur-
day night.
For the first time in his life, at
the Boston A. A. games, this slight
ly-built. bright-eyed lad of 20 will
race on board track. pitting his
speed against such sprint stars a.
Karl Wildermuth. national indoor
champion. and Jimmy Daley of Holy
Cross intercollegiate dash cham
pion.
II don't know how I'll come out"
the young Canadian confided today.
There's as much difference between
dirt and board tracks as between
night and day, and l may not reg
lister 70 we'll indoors. As I've never
raced on the boards I haven't the
slightest idea what sort OF a show
ing III make. Saturday will tell the
story"
As far as physical condition was
concerned, Williams said, he was in
the proverbial pink. But that may
not be enough to turn the trick"
he added. I'm absolutely In the
dark regarding what I'll be able to
do on = board track. Except in 4
vague way. I'm not familiar with
the ability OF the men in the field
I'll be up against, but l know they'll
furnish plenty Of opposition and 1t
won't be any surprise to me if ! am
beaten"
Williams pointed to the fact that
the distance of the race which will
mark his American debut-4O yards
was rather too short for him to
show at his best. His victories at
the Olympic games last summer
were at distances OF 100 and 600
meters.
Today the young Canadian will
work out on the board track at
Boston college under the direction
Of Jack Ryder. considered one of the
best coaches in this section Of the
country.
Besides Wildermuth and Daley
the field which is to oppose Will
liams at the Boston A. A. games
will include Chef Bowman, former
national champion: Jim pappas.
Newark A. c.: Ernie Morrill,. New
England 40 yard dash champion:
Dob Lee, Dartmouth: Eddie Nc
Grath. Harvard; George NORM.
