CHICAGO, May 3O.-Today will
be a memorial day for Tuffy Grit
fiths, who shares with King LIE

fighter.
For after long absence from
the ring Griffiths will climb be-
tween the ropes tonight to meet
Jack Roper. of Alabama, in the
1O-round windup event of the
seasons first outdoor boxing

TRACK MARKS
FALL OVER
WEEKEND
BY HARRY COSTELLO

Five outstanding performances
marked track meets over the
weekend.
Hardman, of the Navy, ran
the mile in 4:16.4 for a new
Naval Academy record. Lawson
Robertson, coach Of the Ameri-
can Olympic team, watched
Hardman as he established the
new record.
Ralph Metcalfe, powerful
negro Sprinter, who represents
Marquette University, bettered
the world record for the 220-
yard dash. He stepped the dis
tance in 20.4 seconds, which is
two-tenths of a second faster
than the worlds record estab-
lished by Roland Locke, Ne
braska, in 1926. Metcalfe nego-
tiated his world record after he
had won the 100-yard dash in
9.6 seconds. There was no wind.
Hans Oldag, Buffalo, N. Y,
captured the -"aryland pre-
Olympic Marathon, running the
26 miles 385 yards between Cam
bridge and Salisbury in 2 hours
38 minutes.
Japanese Jumps
Chuhei Nambu, whom many
claim is the worlds greatest broad
jumper, managed "a feet 43s
inches in the Olympic trials at
Toxic, Japan. Nambu is credited
with the worlds unofficial rec
ord of 26 feet 212 inches. The
present world record is 26 feet
b inch, made by S. Gator, Haiti,
who established this mark on
September 8, 1928, in the Paris
ColombeS meet in France.
George Sailing Iowa State star,
tied the world record for the 100
yard high hurdles in the Iowa
meet held at Iowa City. He ran
the hurdles in 14.4 seconds. His
performance marked the second
time in a month that Sailing has
equalled the world mark. He also
did 14.4 in the Drake relays ca
April 80.
In winning the mile event of the
Ohio State-Navy dual track meet,
Hardman proved himself Of Olym'
pic team caliber. He won with
some 200 yards to spare. It seemed
that, had he been forced a bit by
competition, Hardman might have
been around 4:12. He was eased
up at the finish, realizing that he
had yet to run the $50 yards.
It has been constantly claimed
for Metcalfe that he is the worlds
greatest runner at 220 yards and
just about as good as any other
Sprinter at the 100 when he is
right.
Oldag Makes Team
Oldag now joins Jimmy Heni-
gan, winner of the historic Boston
marathon, as a member Of the
American Olympic marathon team.
The third member will be chosen
in Los Angeles. Oldag's 2:38 COM
pares favorably with the Olympic
record of 2:32::35 As, made in the
1920 Olympics by Hans Kolehmai-
nen, of Finland.
One disappointing feature of
the race won by Oldag was the
performance of Bill Agee, Of Bal
timore. Agee was forced out at
the end of II miles, while run
ming in fifth place. Bill will have
to go to Los Angeles now if he
is to have another shot at making
the Olympic team.
Nambu, the Jap, served notice
by his broad jump, that he will
be dangerous in the Olympic
games.
Sailing proved again that he is
a great hurdler, and yet, only
10 days ago he was beaten by
Keller, Ohio State, who won both
hurdle events in the Ohio State
Navy meet Saturday.

The hullabaloo over possible changes in the football coaching personnel at the University of Wis consin brings to mind the old charge that the Badger school is one of the finest 'graveyards' in the country for aspiring football mentors.
 The records show that since the sport was begun there Az years ago. there have been exactly 15 differ ent leaders, making the average life less than three years.
 John Richards, who coached the Badgers in 1911 and from 1917 to 1922, inclusive, enjoyed the long est span of any. Bill Juneau, who produced the last Wisconsin cham pionship in 1912, stayed ouly for three succeeding seasons.
 So if Wisconsin has not been a graveyard, it has at least not been a bed of roses. Alumni have been anxious to obtain a winning coach, but each succeeding change has failed to produce the desired re- suits.
 The wolves" quickly set upon Glenn Thistlethwaite, who went to Wisconsin after guiding Northwest ern from the bottom to the top of the Big Ten.

 The following year the team won it's only conference victory over Chicago, and was dropped to tenth position in the final standing. Thistlethwaite changed his offense from the old punt formation to an adaptation of the Warner system with the double wingback fornla- tion.
 Last year was the season Of the big squibble over the election Of prom king, and team of really great potentialities wound up with a pair of victories, two defeats and a tie with Ohio State. The alumni were in arms again.
 This uprising was settled when team members expressed faith in their coach and said that if he was not retained they would not report for the team.
