Lawrence. Kas., Sept. LP-The athletic prowess of Indians is legend ary, but it took Wilson Charles. a 23 year old Oneida, to give the legend the first concrete form it has had since the days of Jim Thorpe.
 Charles did so by running the legs off of Jim Stewart, University of Southern California athlete, to win by 250 yards the 1,50O meter event of the decathlon at the A. A. L.. Championships in Pittsburgh.
 The victory gaves Charles 7,31S.543 points. more than the total that won him third place in decathlon in the A. A. |. meet a year ago at Denver.
 In the 10 event competition, Charles relies chiefly on his running ability It is this speed that has made his versatile career possible. He is a star football, basketball and baseball player at Haskell institute here.
 In the Pittsburgh decathlon, Charles. who is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 1S0 pounds, ran the 100 meters in II 1-2 seconds, the 400 meters in 54 1-10 seconds and the 1.50O meters in minutes and 55 seconds.
 Though John Levi gained some fame as fullback of the Haskell foot ball team several years ago. Charles is the first Indian to show great ath- letic virtuosity since Thorpe faded definitely from the picture when re- leased from the New York profess sional Giants football team in 1925.
 The Oklahoma Sac and Fox brave leaves some high marks for his fol- lower to shoot at. In 1912 Olympics at Stockholm, Thorpe won both the decathlon and pentathlon. As a full back of the old Carlisle Indian school team, Thorpe was named for Walter Camps All America team in 1911 and 1912. Thorpe later essayed pro- fessional baseball. and for a time was an outfielder with the New York Giants.
 Charles, whose home is in Fland- reau, S. D., is the son of another Wilson Charles who was an all around athlete with the Carlisle h. dians.

It was enc of the finest individual exhibit tions ever seen in Meriden.
 Pechuk allowed the Saints only three scattered hits. He struck ont three and walked three. A two- base error counted the only run against him. His homer in the seventh brought in the last kensington run

PENNSYLVANIA HAS

Cape May, N. J., Sept 8 P1If football games were won by backs alone, Pennsylvania would be well set for it's tough schedule which in cludes Wisconsin, Kansas, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Cornell and Navy.
 From the IT speedy backs cavort- ing over the seaside landscape here, the new head coach, Lud Wray, is reasonably certain of turning out three formidable backtield combina- tions.
 Captain Dick Gentle of Brookline. Mass, has been nominated to call signals for the first team as Mort Wilner, quarterback last year, is not available. Gentle's backfeld mates probably will be Walter Mas ters, Philadelphia; and Warren Gette, Philipsburg, Pa, halfbacks, and Charles Greene, Forest Hills, N. Y, fullback. ....
 A second tentative backield calls for Bill Graupner, Audubon, N. J.. quarterback; Rolf Carlsten, New York, and Jerry Ford, Monaco, Pa, halfbacks; and John stonik, Ply mouth. Pa. fullback. brilliant freshman performer last year.
 A third backfield composed en- tirely of freshmen of year ago has Monroe Smith, Haddon Heights, N. J.. quarterback; c. J. Perina, Irving ton, N. J., and George Munger, Mer ion, Pa, halfbacks. and Edward Masavage, Lynwood, Pa, fullback.
 But Coach Wray and his aides know the efforts of fine backs would count for little without strong forward wall and it is up front that the real problem is found, With the exception of two men, an end and a tackle, the en- tire first team line of last year has graduated, the losses including such brilliant performers as John Utz, Walter Magai, Sydney Gervin, Har- ry Warren and Joe Olexy.
 Out of a wealth of husky though inexperienced material comprising ten ends, nine tackles, nine guards and five centers.
