Weimer Has Better Record.

WEIMER'S ring record is by far the
more impressive of the two,
however. Three years ago he licked
Gorilla Jones, then middleweight
champion, in a non-title bout and
later turned the trick on Babe Risko,
present ruler of the l65-pound divi-
sion.
In 1884 the California clouter con-
tinued his streak of startling upsets,
defeating Make Rosenbloom, then
king Of the light -heavies and then
adding Bob Olin. also a light-heavy-
weight champion. to his list Of victims.
More recently, Weimer dropped a bt-
terly fought split decision scrap to
John Henry Lewis, present 175-pound
title holder.
In the scheduled six-round SEMI
final, Joe Green, popular local light
weight, will trade blows with Jackie

OWENS RUNS 1Q.2
1OEMETER RACE
Ohio State Athlete Stars,
but Games Crown Is
Won by TroianS.
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO, June 2O.-Sweeping
over a field studded with
prospective Olympic stars,
~ athletes from the University
of Southern California ran rampant
In the national collegiate track and
field championships at Stag Field to-
day, in which four world records we're
eclipsed in the two days Of compe-
tition.
The TrojanS, scoring in IA of the
Is events, amaSsed total OF 1O4 %
points to annex their second success
sive championship. Ohio State, led
by the sensational Negro star, Jesse
Owens, who won four events himself
for 40 points, was second with 73
points. Indiana was third with AZ
and Stanford fourth with 80. Thirty
three teams gathered points in the
meet. which produced the most sem
sational performances since the in
auguration IS years ago. Ten thou
sand spectators witnessed the thrill
ing races and field events.
The winners of the first two places
in each event, plus others whose per-
formances warrant, will compete in
the finals at New York next month
when the team to represent Uncle
sam in the Olympic games next Au-
gust will be chosen.

Owens Star of Meet.

pETTERING the world mark in the
100-meter run, owens was the
individual star of the meet, giving
him the unparalleled distinction of
winning four events in two success
sive national collegiate meets against
the greatest collegiate athletes OF the
Nation. He opened up his afternoons
performance by winning the broad
Jump with a leap of Is feet lO7s
inches, captured the 100 meters in
1912 seconds, went to the victory
stand for the third time after win
ing the 2O0-meter run in 21.3, and
concluded his days efforts with a
victory in the 220-yard low hurdles.
Whether owens performance in
the 100 meters will be applied for as
a record is questionable. His time
EQUALS the time established by Ralph
Metcalfe of Marquette. made in 1882,
which never obtained recognition.
The accepted world and Olympic
mark is 1913, held jointly by Percy
Williams of Canada, Eddie Tolan OF
Michigan, and Metcalfe.
A new world record went up in the
discus, when Ken Carpenter of South
ern California sailed the platter out
into space of l73 feet, more than a
foot better than the mark of III feet
lIa4 inches set by Harald Anderson
of Sweden in 1894. 1t was just 10
feet farther than the current national
collegiate record, held by Henri La
