The box score showed that while Jesse
wasn't very bad, he wasn't very good.
The professors showered him with
questions.
II don't remember what those
questions were" said Jesse
short while later, "but they
came at me awful fast"
Needless to say, your student aver
age has no bearing on your eligibility
for the Olympics. Jesse has been
eligible for Berlin all Summer and
the Olympic Committee has taken
pains to keep him so-within its own
code of rules. That is to say, the boy
was taken care Of When you can
eat at the expense of your pals, there
is no need to eat at the expense Of a
professional promoter.
The procedure Of the A. A. U. in
Jesse's case was simple and sound
The A. A. U. took cognizance of
Jesse's alleged professionalism and
decided to skip it. This will save
somebody the trouble Of further cog
nizance- taking at a later and less
comfortable time-during or after the
Olympic games.
Jesse is a great athlete, and I hope
he wins himself triple at Berlin. but
I can't help feeling sorry that Jim
Thorpe didn't have the same op-
portunity. With the aid of modern
science, the honest Injun could have
had his doughnuts and eaten them

RECORD-BREAK|NG
TRACK, FIELD HABIT
Squirt of Negro Athletes
Threatens Many Marks
in Near Future.
BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

~HICAGO, July 15.-The out
standing development in
American track and field
~ since the last Olympiad. in
Los Angeles. four years ago, has been
the production of Negro stars and
record breakers.
Prior to 1882 Dehart Hubbard, the
Michigan broad jumper, who won that
event at Paris in 1924. was the United
States only Negro Olympic winner.
At Los Angeles there were three on
our team. Eddie Tolan of Michigan
won the 100 and 200 meters, Ralph
Metcalfe of Marquette ran an almost
dead heat In the 100 and finished
third in the 200, while Edward Gordon
of Iowa took the broad jump.
At Berlin the United States will
have no less than 10 Negroes to COM
pete in seven, and maybe eight, events,
and at this range they seem capable
of winning at least six firSts.
They are: Jesse Owens, in the two
sprints and broad jump and perhaps
in the 40o-meter relay race; Ralph
Metcalfe, in the 100. and Mack Rob-
inson, in the 200; Archie Williams and
Jimmy Luvalle, in the 400, and John
Woodruff, in the 800; Cornelius john
son and Dave Albritton. in the high
lump; John Brooks, in the broad
Jump, and Fritz Pollard, jr, son Of
the old Brown University foot ball
star, in the 11o-meter hurdles.
In the sprints and jumps at Berlin
the American Negro should be su-
preme.

Jesse Was a Page Boy.

THE Governor touched with states
manlike sarcasm upon the fact
that a number Of Ohio State foot ball
players were working for the State in
capacities which might be described as
vague. From this foundation it was
only step to the case Of Mr.. Owens,
who, it turned out, was the most pop
ular page boy in the State Legislature.
Jesse didn't always work very hard.
but there was no denying that it was
nice to have him around.
And no Ohio State alumnus of my
acquaintance ever has taken the trou-
bic to deny that Jesse got all available
help from the university This is old
stuff. but it serves the purpose of
showing that youth with Brother
Owens springy speed of foot never
need starve at a hospitable educational
institution, sponsored by hospitable
State government.
When Jesse's college instructors
found they no longer could give him
passing grades without exposing their
immortal souls to a considerable spell
Of purgatory, they flunked him. The

Many reasons are given for the on
rush Of the Negro in track and field
sports. few are, natural co-ordina-
ton of a more primitive race and
quicker response to good coaching.
Reasons are rather unnecessary, for,
the fact is, the Negro is taking COM
plete possession of the sprint lanes
and the jumping pits.
Track and field performances have
improved tremendously since the 1882
Olympiad; so much so that it is rather
dificult to vision many new world
records being made at Berlin. Since
the Los Angeles games so many rec
ords have fallen.
Owens, the worlds greatest star. in
the past two years has established
new records in the broad jump (26
