Eastern track enthusiasts who were mourning the passing of Per cy Beard from the ranks of compet- ing murders have taken Smilin' Sam Allen, the slim ace of Okla homa Baptist university, who holds the National Collegiate A.

 Last summer, at the Princeton in- vitation meet in Palmer Stadium, Allen defeated a field of crack hurdlers, his time being announced as 14.3. His misfortune was in the fact that the wrong times held the watches. He was caught by the offi- cial timers in 144, 14.3 and Al, and by two reserve timers in Al, that being world record. Naturally, he was given the medium" time.

He was pressed into service on the cinder paths one afternoon when the school conducted an inter- class meet. His class was without an entry in the high hurdles and despite his vigorous protests that he had never so much as donned a track shoe in his life, he found him. self lined up at the start with the other would-be murders. To the complete surprise of everyone, in- cluding himself, he easily won the event. He took a keen interest in the sport after that and developed rapidly, winning the state champion ship the following year. He played baseball and football in his senior year at high school but gave those sports up when he went to college to concentrate on hurdling.
