In track and f1eld?" I asked.
1--WE knew this team was good and
should win" he said, "but we expected
no such brilliance as Owens and others
showed. Especially Owens, who was
beyond all words. Contrary to many
published reports, We have no feeling
against the Negro race in Europe at
large. Neither we, nor any other ma
ton, had the quality to compete with
talent of this type-good enough to
break five world records under un-
favorable weather conditions"
"If Germany had a star Negro
athlete, weuld he be used under your

was the cagey answer, because we
have no colonies. America was ex-
tremely fortunate to have four Ne
groes good enough to win six first
places at track and field in events
where her white entries were no bet

good. The first whites, for examples,

They were Germans, Hollanders,
EngliShmen or entries of some other
nation. The final proof is that you
rushed in Owens and Robinson, two
Negroes, in the 400-meter relay and
won. You did not use Williams and
Lu Vale, two other Negroes, in the
1,600-meter relay, and LOST
What would you do If you had a
Jesse Owens?" asked.
I'VE haven't a Jesse Owens and
probably never will have one," he
answered. And I doubt that you
will have another. You see, all we
have left now Is Germans. I have
no idea what we would do if we had
our colonies left and they could send
us an Owens or a Woodruff or john
son or Williams.
I'VE are coming out of hard times
and harder days. We are doing the
best we can to get back on our feet
with what we have. I believe you
will realize after looking at these
games that we have come long
way in a short time. No one ever
believed we could even approach the
magnificent Los Angeles display. -Four
years ago that looked to be an i'm
possibility. Yet most writer's have
agreed that we surpassed it-cer-
tainly in crowds and in records.

in spite Of any mistakes we made.

George Watkins was the Brooklyn

another run with a double.
Ed Brandt was touched for 10 hits
by the Phils, but never was in danger
of being driven to cover, as his mates

VANSTON. H., August 22:-
H Owners and coaches of pro-
fessional foot ball teams are
becoming thick as grasshop-
pers around Dyche Stadium, where
the College All-Stars are preparing
for the game with Detroit's Lions on
September /, and some Of the visitors
are very disconsolate. The young
men awarded them in the National
Professional Leagues quaint draft re-
fuse to play on the cash-and-carry
basis and the owners and coaches are
left holding the bag.
As I understand it. the National
Leagues draft is based largely on
chance. The professional moguls sit
down with a list of all the outstand-
ing college star who finished COM
petition the previous season, and ap-
portion the players among the vari-
GUS clubs. After the distribution, the
owners may trade. either future for
future or a future for a player in
hand. When this is done one or the
other parties may find himself with
nothing more than a paper claim on
some fine player, since there is nc
obligation on the draftee's part to
play professionally.
Berwanger Not Interested.
THAT was the case when George
Halas of the Chicago Bears
swapped of couple of fair players
for title to Jay Berwanger, who was
all-America halfback for the Univer-
sity of Chicago. OF all graduates of
the 1885 college season, Berwanger
was In greatest demand and Halas
rightly figured the boy would be a
great attraction for Chicago fans. But
when Halas approached Berwanger
he found the young man uninterested
in professional foot ball. So the Bear
owner is very much out of pocket as
a result of the deal.
Paul Schissler, the Brooklyn coach.
is another who is very disappointed.
The Dodgers drew Vernal (Babe) Le-
voir. who quarterbacked for the Min
nesota champions, and Schissler
counted on the ex-Gopher to put a
lot of power in his backfleld. But
when the coach sought to sign Levoir
he found the boy had made a business
tie-up much more attractive than
anything the professionals would offer.
A number Of the Stanford University
stars also were allotted in the draft,
but none will enter the pro game. Bob
Reynolds, the tackle, has gone into
his fathers concern in Oklahoma;
Grayson, Hamilton and Moscrip have
jobs on the Pacific Coast and Keith
Topping has landed position in New

IN TALKING over Germany's rise
in track and field with one Of
the government leaders, he had this
to say:
I'VE really are only getting started
in modern sport. With the interest
shown by the government and the
public combined, I think we will be
far advanced by 1910 for the next
Olympics in Toxic. We had done
nothing for 40 years-from 1896 to
1936-and yet, with the short time
We had for improvement. I believe
you will agree that our showing was
big surprise to Americans and the
American team. We won three first
places at track and field, not includ-
ing the pentathlon, one of the fea-
tured events.
I'VE now are baSing our plans for
the future on the development of our
youth. Millions of young people from
10 to IS, boys and girls, will have the
full support of the government in all
games. You can learn to be good
only by starting young, and We realize
that now. So far Germany has been
good only at weights. We now are
going out for skill and speed as well
as long distance events. AS a people,
we like discipline and enjoy training,
which we don't consider a grind"

THERE'S AN ART
IN POACHING EGGS

Can you fry an egg? Well, most
people can, but can you poach one
and be proud of it? A poached egg
is really something to be proud of
if you are one Of those lucky peo-
pie who are able to serve it sitting
firmly on buttered piece of golden
brown toast. If you poach them in
this manner you'll want poached
eggs morning, noon and night.
Fill a skillet about 2-S full of
boiling water or enough to cover
the eggs well. Add / tablespoon
vinegar. Add Y teaspoon salt for
each pint of water. Break the de-
sired number of eggs, one at a time
into saucer and slip carefully and
quickly into the water. Cover skill
let, remove from heat but keep
warm, and let stand until whites
are set and a film has formed over
the yolks-about minutes. Then
remove eggs carefully. Sprinkle
with salt, pepper and butter. Serve
on hot buttered toast.

soup. Port is an after dinner drink,
in general. The sweet wines such
as Madeira or Tokay are the des-
sert wines, nice with cakes or

"stale bread, you'd answer, ''bread
crumbs. It's only natural because
that's the only use most people
know for stale bread. At least it's
foremost in our minds when we do
think of stale bread. However, If
you've ever tried German Toast,
your reply would probably be such.

u cup milk
tablespoons sugar
l 8 teaspoon salt
Stale bread
Cut stale bread in half inch
slices; remove the crust. Dilute
slightly beaten eggs with milk; add
salt and sugar. Drop the slices of
bread into egg mixture, allowing
them to soak a few moments, then
lift carefully with a spatula to a
hot wei CREASED griddle. using
equal parts Of lard and butter.
Brown on one side, turn and brown
on the other. Add more lard and
butter II necessary. Serve with
maple syrup for breakfast or
luncheon, or with apricot sauce for
dessert Stale sponge cake may be
used in the same manner.
