OLYMPIC HOPES
Of DISTRICT
ARE SLIM
BY HARRY COSTELLO

BY HAIRY COSTELLO
olympic possibilities in the Dis
trict of Columbia are. are few
and far between.
This much information can be
passed along to those persons who
follow track and field.
Gayle McGuigan, of Catholic
University; Widemyer, University
Of Maryland, and Bobby Slye,
Eastern High School, may de-
velop into Olympic material, but
their performances last night in
the A. A. U. meet in Byrd Stad-
ium will have to be greatly i'm
proved upon before they are con-
Sidered topnotch athletes in their
Specialties.
They May DevIOp
George Lermond and Vic Burke,
the former one time a star at
West Point, the latter once q win.
ner for Georgetown, competed
last night. They are members OF
the N. Y. A. c. track and field
team. Both won their events with
ease, and both have class. Really,
they do not belong in this area.
Between McGuigan, Widemyer
and Slye, and possibly Jack Ed
wards, Widemyer and Slye seem
to be coming. However, humans,
like race horses, may and may
not develop.
McGuigan flashed fine exhibit
tion, but it is doubtful if he can
step the 400 meters as well as a
dozen or more others in the
United States.
Slye is a mere boy. 1t seems
that he must fill out a bit. This
writer feels that Slye should be
rested from athletic endeavor for
year before he will reach the
physical condition necessary to a
truly great athlete.
Widemyer shows the form Of
great athlete. He, too, is young,
but he should develop within the
next two years.
Edwards Is Good
Lermond and Burke, Of course,
are mature athletes, much more
mature than McGuigan, Slye,
Widemyer and Edwards.
Edwards is a good quarter-miler,
but it is doubtful that he has
reached peak yet. He should i'm
prove greatly within a few sea-
sons.
AS a general thing the per-
formances last night lin Byrd
Sta dunn were far short Of
Olympic standard. Widemyer's
time in the 100 meters, IL sec
onds, has been bettered by a
dozen high school athletes. The
same can be said of every other
event on the card.
Catholic UniverSity's track team
appeared to be well balanced, as
did Maryland'S also. However,
both teams are short Of the
caliber of major college track
teams of the nation.
C. U. won the team competi-
ton with 81 points. Maryland
was next in line with 38, with
the Maryland freshmen adding
1914 to the latter's total to make
it 501a for Maryland.
Last nights meet did not draw
any too well, probably due to
the weather. The rain and the
rather poor light also affected
the performances of the compet-
ing athletes.
The Washington times., 1932-05-18


There are three open relays
listed on the program, the
quarter mile,, &C" Club 1 mile
and the sprint medley, and it is
understood all will count in the
scoring.
The battle in the regular track
and field events will be so even
among half dozen schools, that
the victory in the relays are
likely to be the telling factors.
Views With Alarm
Hap" is inclined to view with
alarm the bulking presence of
Episcopal. Woodberry Forest and
Massanutten. These three Vir'
ginia institutions have a classy
turnout of cinder Founders and
field men, most of them veterans
Of many campaigns.

lineup is right up in the front
lines, but the Old Dominion
cohorts overShadow the local
entries in class and experience

eve just can't muster sufficient
all-arOund power to do better
than that. My boys fooled me
more than any one else by their
showing in the recent Mary
land meet. While the turnout
then was pretty good, Virginia's
big Three" were missing, and
that made and makes a great
difference"
Strongest Field

about the strongest field Of

could use it intact, we would

maybe!"
with the powerful represen-
tatiOn from a half dozen
schools, the dashes, hurdles and

scattered, and it's the relays
that will produce the extra
points which will crown the
victor! I expect the winning

Need Legislative Brains
(From Havre Daily News)

Montana's legislature next wintel
will have dumped on it several brow
wrinkling problems. We have beez
going about the state for the past
year, complaining about ta&es and
saying that the legislature must h
something about it. And few of us.
who have been doing so much talk
ing, have had moe than a vague idea
of what should or could be done OF
Just why our taxes ri what they
are.
A lot of people have suggested a
lot of things that might be done,
ranging from the sensible to the RI
dicuIous or to the dangerous. When
the Legislature convenes a great
variety of ideas will be dumped into
the Legislative hopper and no n can
forsee now what may pour out.
That the state needs Legislative
action to improve financial condi-
lions In state and local governments
is not questioned. But the problem
is a complex one. There is danger
that more than the usual percentage
of fuzzy-minded legislators may be
elected 10 the session just ahead and
that there will be unusual difficulty
in getting a sensible approach to
questions Of vital concern to the
commonwealth.
Montana needs men of hard sense
and clear intelligence in the coming
session We need men who are in
dependent of control by any private
interests, but also capable Of sane
thinking on their own account. Men
who may roa loudest at campaign
rallies are not necessarily brainy
and well equipped for legislative
duties.
In most sessions the main problem
Is TO pass the necessary supply bills
and &c home. But this year the
states financial condition necessita-
ties deeper consideration than has
been given in recent sessions. Local
governmental organization also need
consideration. The school question is
at a most serious stage. There is
more business calling for attention
any one session can attend to.
But all OF the complications, which
been accumulated by drOuth ard
market slumps, call for men Of bal
and moderate attitude. The re-
dictionary and the radical, the senti-
mentalist and the uniformed are all
useless, il not dangerous, at this
We need brain power in the
coming session. We need clear think
ing, sane and moderate thinking and
above all honest independence.
There has been no great rush for
Legislative positions. Men OF the
state, who realize the difficulty OF
the work ahead and the likelihood
that legislators will earn only criti-
next winter, are not keen for
the job. Ii there ever was q time
when communities should have met
and cou1seled together as to the men
be called for public positions, 1t
have been in regard to the
selections for the coming
session.
When the lists are closed this week
certainly there is need of most SER
consideration on the part Of the
We certainly don't need
strong llHsgs at the next session as
much az we need brains.
