A NNAPOLIS, Md, May 25.-
~ Two of the greatest ath-
n letes in the world, Jack
Keller, hurdler, and Don
Bennett, sprinter, will appear for
the powerful Ohio State track
team when it engages Navy here
Saturday in the big commence
ment week program.
Other leading events on the card are
q lacrosse clash and a ball game with
University of Maryland teams and
diamond and track events, with the
Washington high school champions in
these sports.
A triple bill in Thompson 3.Adium,
the foot ball plant that seats about
10000, will feature the card. This will
be the varsity track meet with Ohio
State, the plebes affair with the Dis
trict champions, to be run colcuTTently
starting at 2 o'clock, and the lacrosse
battle between the Old Liners and Mid
dies that will be the grand finale at 4

DOTH Keller and Bennett shattered
~ world marks Saturday in the an
nual Western Conference meet.
Keller ran the fastest 120-yard high
hurdle race in all history, according to
Steve Farrell, Michigan's retired coach,
and finished good two feet ahead Of
George Sailing of Iowa. Keller's time
was recorded at IA seconds fiat, which is
two-tenths of a second better than the
performance of Percy Beard of the New
York A. c. Maj Phil Fleming of West
Point and John Lipp of Chicago. two
OF the timers, caught Kellers finish in
shade under IA.
Bennett came back to step the 220 in
20.5. to better the record held by Ro-
land Locke by one-tenth second after
running the 100-yard dash in 9.5. The
220 is Benefits speciality, and his
strong lift and long strides makes him
seem to flow over the cinders.
Track officials estimated that the
strong north wind that blew off Lake
Michigan aided the sprinterS and hur-
oilers to the extent of between one-tenth
and tWo-tenthS of second, but under
normal conditions, Keller, Sailing and
Bennett rank with the champions.
Outstanding members of the Navy
track squad are Waybright in the 100
and 22C and Hardman who holds the
Academy record for the half-mile, mile
and two-mile events.
HOWEVER, despite the caliber of the
i 1 trackmen who will compete, inter-
est is mainly centered in the la
crosse game in view of the Olympic
aspirations of the rival teams Both
