It is doubtful whether 1892 will be any faster than 1881 along the various trails of sport.
 Ladoumegue of France on foot, Campbell and Stainforth of Eng land in an auto and in the air, travelled faster over the mile route than has ever been done by man before
 Beard of Alabama ran the fastest high hurdle race of all time, Stan ford's great mile relay team lowered the worlds record. Gate receipts also tumbled faster than ever be- fore and Southern California per- formed the fastest major operation in recent football history in stop ping Notre Danes streak.
 The endurance record for the past year was established by Von Elm and Burke, who went 72 extra holes, a tournament by itself, to de- eide the United States open golf championship.
 Pepper Martin turned in the dig ziest performance of the year, es- pecially from the viewpoint of the Athletics, and also figured in the funniest legend: "Old Pepper chases those jackrabbits, leans over to feel 'em and, if they are nice and fat, just picks 'em up and puts 'em in his bag!"

 Old man though he is and no longer possessed of the unconquer- able speed of his heyday in 1924-25, Nurmi gave a running lesson to Lethtinen and a few other ambi- tious Films on home grounds last summer.
