Gene vanzke, Pottsdown Sem
sation, Had Little Op-
position in Mile

New York, Feb. 23.-(P)-Gene
Venzke, the Pottstown, Pa, flash
made only one miscalculation when
he set out this winter to shatter all
known records for the mile run but
/ it has turned out to be a grievouS
one.
He failed to take into account the
feelings OF his opposition. He's run
them all to cover and as a result he
now finds himself doing practically
4 solo when he steps out on the
boards. AS a further result. the world
never will know what the 24-year-old
high schooler might have done to the
mile mark this winter had there
been somebody to give him a race.
Hoped For Record
Only two runners went to the mark
with him Monday night in the Ma
tional A. A. U. championships at
Madison Square Garden. Neither was
capable OF extending Gene so one OF
the largest crowds ever to witness an
indoor event here had to be content
with watching him do mere Ais
mile. They had hoped to see him
surpass his record Of four minutes,
10 seconds. set in the New York A. c..
games on the same track last week.
But if the crowd was disappointed
at the failure of the latest mile of
the century to materialize, it's feel
ings should have been partially ap-
peased by record-smashing that took
place in the other events. Three
world records were broken. another
equalled twice and two meet marks
sent into the discard in series Of
brilliant performances.
Joe McCluskey. Fordham's youthful
iron man cracked all previous rec
ordS for the tWo-mile SteeplechaSe
when he romped to victory in min
utes As 2/5 seconds. The former
world mark of 955 rs was set by
Elmo Purje of Finland in 1929.
Sets New Mark
Mike Pecora of the Brooklyn Gen.
trail Y. M. G.. A.. distanced a crack
field in the mile walk as he set new
world record of minutes, q l Is sec
onds. dislodging 20-year-old mark Of
6:28 set by George Goulding of Can
ada in 1911.
The third world standard to tumble
was credited to New York university's
brilliant relay team which convered
the mile and seventh-eighths in 7
minutes. 20 3/5 seconds. The Uni
versity OF Pennsylvania quartet, which
set the previous record Of z minutes
80 2/5 seconds in the same meet last
year, finished in second place, barely
three yards behind
Emmett Toppco, Loyola speedster.
twice equalled the world record Of s
1/5 seconds as he beat great field
in the 60-yard dash. The negro star,
Eddie Tolan of Detroit. finished sec
end.
Meet records were credited to
George Spitz Of New York university
who high jumped a casual six feet 7
inches, and to Herman Brix of the
Los Angeles A. c., who tossed the IS
pound shot 81 feet Az inches.

Gopher Athletic Director ,Ap.
pears Certain to Accept
Princeton Appointment

Princeton, N. j., Feb. 23.-(P)-of-
ficially Princeton university has not
yet picked successor to AL Wittmer
as head football coach but unofficial
~ there seems to be little reason to
doubt that H. o. Fritz) Crtsler, ath-
letic director at the University Of
Minnesota. will be at the helm when
the Tigers fall season rolls around.
Crisler at Minneapolis, said he
probably would take the job, offered,
he said, by President John Grier Hib-
ben Of Princeton via the telephone.
He said he was awaiting arrival Of q
contract before definitely accepting.
The attitude in official circles at
Princeton, however, was definitely
non committal.
1.-THE matter is In the hands Of the
board Of athletic control" said DR..
Hibben. And any statement must
come from them. believe, however,
that they will have something to say
in q few days.
Asked to comment on news dis
patches quoting Crisler as saying he
had about decided to accept the job,
DR.. Hibben said:
II don't know anything about that
but I am very happy to hear it, If 1t
is So"
Thurston J. Davies, supervisor Of
university sports, said, on behalf Of
the special committee considering the
football situation, that mo official
announcement about a football coach
will be made until negotiations are
completed"
This was interpreted in some quar-
tiers as meaning that Princeton would
await definite acceptance by Crisler
before commenting on or announcing
Wittmer,s successor.
Wittmer's five-year contract as
head coach was broken late last fall
after Princeton had gone through its
most disastrous season. A victory
over Amherst was the only triumph OF
the Tiger campaign.

De VALERA is
DEFIANT OVER
BRITISH THREAT
Economic War Would Not
Halt Fight on Oath of
Allegiance, He Says.
fcoovrlght. l9s7. bv United Press

DUBLIN, April 2l.--Great Brit
aims strongest argument to dissuade
Ireland from abolishnig the oath Of
allegiance, the threat of an eco
nomic war, will not turn Irish Re
puolicsns from their independence
goal, President canon De Valera
said today.
De Valera has achieved the first
step in his program, passaRe by the
Dali of the first reading of the bill
aimed to abolish the oath Of ale
glance from the Free State con-
stitution.
Retention Of the s15,O00,00O year
~ land annuities paid Britain also
is included in the De Valera pro-
gram.
The Irish Free state is by far
the best customer Great Britain
has De Valera said. I'VE buy
more goods from her than she buys
from us.
Last year the Free State was,
with the exception OF South Africa,
the only important customer of
Great Britain with whom that coun-
try had a favorable balance OF
trade.
British statesmen are not likely
TO embark wantonly on a line OF
action which would interfere with a
trade position so advantageous to
their country"
De Valera's opinion is not shared
by the Cosgrave element and most
British observers.
If Britain holds the abolition of
the oath to be a. breach of the
treaty Of 1921, binding Ireland to
the British empire. the British gov
eminent has two means of reprisal
military and economic.
The first generally is believed out
OF the question. The second has
been regarded as Britain's trump
card.
Internal peace will not come to
Ireland. De Valera believes, until
the oath is removed.

CALL LETTER SYSTEM
FOR AMATEURS KEPT
Will Continue to Garry "W1" to
) "W9" Designations Instead
of Two Digits.

Fears of the radio amateurs that the
recent redistricttng of the inspection
offices of the Federal Radio Commis-
sion would mean new system Of call
letter designations for them, were set
at rest last week by Lieut.. E. K. Jett,
assistant chief engineer Of the COM
mission. While broadcasting, maritime
and other radio services are admins
tered through the 90 inspection offices,
instead of through the nine district Of
fees and their several suboffices, anna
teurs will continue to be divided into
nine areas.
In other words, amateur calls will
continue to carry the designations
wi" or "W2" or ''W3," ETC., up to
"W9," as formerly, instead Of having
their calls carry two digits such as
WIZ or 'W19" in conformity with
the 20 new districts.
The amateurs, however, must here
after make their applications for sta
ton licenses directly to Washington,
which also will issue their call letters.
But for purposes of operators examtna-
tions, they must report to the inspec-
tors in the 90 new districts, according
to the one into which they fall.
The redistrcting was ordered effec-
tive last week to coordinate the divi-
sion of field operations of the commits
sion, formerly the radio division OF the
Department of Commerce, with the
commission itself. Each Of the 20 in
spectors will be responsible directly to
the commission at Washington, with
Commissioner Thad H. Brown as ad-
ministrator of the field force. Under
the redistricting, the nine former dis
trict Offices and 10 subofdces all be-
come autonomous district Offices. The
additional Office was created at Calves
ton, Tex, instead of at Buffalo, as
previously reported. -
