CUNNINGHAM
 CROWD HERO OF ODD MILE RAGE
Kansan Reversed Usual Style to Beat Mangan
 and Venzke at N. Y.
BY GEORGE KTRKsEY

United Press Stan COrrespondent.)
 New York, March l6.--(UP)-- Glenn Cunningham, barrel-chested Kansas runner and world record holder for the mile, revealed today that he didn't decide on the stra- tegy which won him the Colum- bian mile in the K. of c. games in Madison Square Garden Saturday night until after the race was under way.
 Unexpected
 Cunningham's surprise tactics consisted of making Joe Mangar1, Cornell graduate student, and Gene venzke, Pennsylvania, set the pace in the strangest race ever run tn- doors in New York. Only 250 yards of the weird event proved g race, but in that driving finish to the tape Cunningham drew one of the great- est ovations of the season from the crowd of 1000. Cunningham, who trailed all the way, passed his two rivals, who have beaten him consist ently all season, and won by three yards in the amazingly slow time Of 1 minutes, 46.8 seconds.
 Sudden Plan
 T didn't decide to let Mangaf1 and Venzke set the pace until after the race was under way" Cunningham said. When Mangan got in front I decided to stay behind, and see what would happen. noticed that Mangan was upset being forced to set the pace, mad that Venzke. either because of his recent cold or my surprise move, had no in- tention of moving out in front"
 Tom Keane, veteran Syracuse coach, believes spectators received Q bigger thrill from the unusual race than when the same three runners finished under 8 blanket in All Wanamaker mile earlier in the winter.
 "The crowd immediately sensed the uniqueness of the situation said Keane. "They appreciated Cunningham's startegy, and got a biz thrill when he beat Mangan and Venzke the way they had been beating him with fast sprint at the finish"
 One More Test
 Cunningham will meet Mangan again in their last race of the in- door season in a special 1900 meter event tonight in the New Jersey A.A.U. championships at the New ark armory. They have met four times this season, each winning twice.
 One of the greatest achievements of the indoor season was the un- defeated record turned in by Eddie OBrien, Syracuse quarter-miler who scored his sixth straight tri- umph by defeating Charlie Horn- bostel, former Indiana star, in the 800 yards in 1.11.9. the third fastest time ever made at the distance.
 Keane, who has produced two Olympic 400-meters champions, be- lieves O'Brien will win that race at Berlin this summer.
 "Who can beat him2" he asked. "IIe can beat anybody in the world with his opening sprint or cruelty them with his kick at the finish"
 Ben Johnson, Columbia negro, won the 60 yard sprinnt, with Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette, second and Eulace Peacock, Temple, third, in 6 3-lO seconds. Cornelius Johnson, Compton college, Calf, leaped 6 feet, 8 inches to defeat Ed Burke, Marquette freshman, in the high jump.
