LOS ANGELES, Dec. 31-If Dio- genes should trade his lantern for a stop watch and invade the cam puS of the University of Southern California in search of the fastest runner, he might pass Frank Wy koff without recognizing the lad who did 100 yards in 2-5 seconds, officially.
 One would not pick Frankie, , as his mates call him, out of a crowd, for there is nothing about him to suggest that he can run with anyone in the world
 Twenty years of age, eight and one-half inches over five feet, and weighing l60 pounds, Wykoff gives an impression that he would be a bear at the junior prom or in the University Drama club.
 Under a head of curly, blond hair he shows a glorious smile, on and off the track. There is no fighting face" on display when Wykoff runs. He likes it.
 "Of course, running is fun when you get fast enough" said the Glendale boy,
 T hope to do well the rest of the year, mean next year. My leg will cause me no trouble"
 The possible leg trouble was a reference to a kick of horse last fall, resulting in fracture.
 Wykoff is majoring in physical education and is a good student.
 He has been running seriously since 1926 when he was in his second year at Glendale high school He broke into the big head lines for the first time in the Southwestern Track and Field try outs June Is, 1928, when he defeat cd Charley Paddock in the 100 and POO meters. In July he ran in the Senior National championships at Cambridge and won the 100 meters, equalling the Olympic record.
 An injured leg a few days later slowed him up and he failed to reach his best condition for the Olympic games.
 Wykoff uses his speed to good advantage on the football field although he does not play. Univer- sity of Southern California has telephone system connecting the football field with the score board, announcer and press box and it is Frankies job to plug in the con- nection at a number of strategical- ly placed posts.
 His speed stands him in good stead on punts and long forward passes as he must have the line plugged in when the announcer is ready to tell the crowd what has happened.

Southern California has run up
 fine scoring record, averaging something like 34 points per game l for the last six years of play un-
 der the coaching of Howard Jones. For the same period, Dartmouth,
 Georgetown, Washington, Stanford | Colgate, New York University,
 Army, Tennessee and Lafayette, in
 that order, are nearest to the Tro- jan record.
 Notre Dame is not in the first
 ten, when it comes to scoring, but
 the Ramblers are up around the head of the class in showing win
 ming results. Tennessee has a bril- ] liant record in this respect In fact the Volunteers have lost only four
 games in the past six years and
 any college with better record
 is invited to step up and post it. The University of Utah, perennial champions of the Rocky Mountain Conference, has dropped only five
 decisions in six years Over the
 same period, Notre Dame and Pitts
 burgh have lost eight each, South ern California nine, Alabama ten. The Notre Dame record takes on
 additional lustre when scanned for , an even dozen years. The Fighting
 Irish, Four Horsemen, Rough Rid CTS and what-have you played ex- actly 116 games under Rockne's
 direction since 1919 Of these they
 won 102, lost Il tied 3 for a win ming percentage of 879.
 Six of the Notre Dame defeats were clustered in two off-years,
 two in 1925 and four in 1928. In no other season since the war has any Irish brigade lost more than single contest.
 Nebraska has the distinction of
 being the only college to attach three defeats to the South Bend Cyclone within this 12-year period. Army and Carnegie each have beat en Notre Dame twice, Wisconsin, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Southern Cali fornia once each
 The tie games were with Army, Penn State and Minnesota. Despite the big scores the Rough
