That's what they would
have said few months ago to
a diminutive soda Jerk in a drug store
across the street from the Columbia
University campus. They would have
said it-that is-if he had dared to
predict Just what he intended to do
when the track season rolled around.
But Herb Weast kept his mouth shut.
He was just sophomore and
shouldn't talk.
He didn't talk. Instead. he quietly
went along sweeping out the drug
store every night and working out on
the Columbia track every afternoon.
Then came a certain night in jan
uary and the Brooklyn knights Of
Columbus games. And, after the gun
smoke had cleared away. it was not
Glenn Cunningham, Gene Venzke or
Don Lash who had hogged the show.

team concludes a two-night stand in
the Capital against Catholic University
after being trounced by George WASH

Geneva's main difficulty should be
in stopping Hermie Schmarr, leading
the local collegiate individual scoring
race by wide margin. In 10 games
Schmarr has scored 140 points, or an

st. Johns Basket Team.

Eastern temporarily settled the ques-

ball team and that of st. Johns yes
terday when it won its second victory
Of a three-game series with the de-
Tending prep school champions. The
score was 2s-17, the widest margin

night than in '36. Last nights score
was 1926. 1t was almost a revenge
victory for the Colonials, who had
the satisfaction Of beating the con-
queror of L. I. u, lone team to beat
G. w. this year.
But with G. w. playing the kind
of ball that would have stopped any
team, including Long Island, last
night, Geneva was hard pressed to
remain in the running even in the
first half. With Micky Schonfeld
leading the drive down floor time after
time, the Colonials continually found
themselves in scoring position, with
Hal Kiesel, Tom O'Brien and Jack
Butterworth sinking the shots usually
set up by their midget mate. At that.
Schonfeld found time to send three
field goals through the cords on his
own account.

the world heavyweight championship
against Mike Mazurki and Joe Dusek
exhausts his repertoire Of unorthodox
tactics against the equally villainous

Probably the most tempting bit Of
butchery from the standpoint Of the

ing test. Both rough performers with
an eye to showmanship; Joe and
John never have failed to arouse local
pachyderm followers with their an
tics.
Katan last week experienced the
novel but rather embarrassing posi-
tion of being placed in the role Of hero.
Aided by Ernie Dusek and Referee
Benny Bortnick, Katan handled the
assignment notably. although he lost
to Ernie in 48 minutes.

Johnny gained considerable pres

for five minutes. Johnny was SO un-
accustomed to that type of noise that
he stayed in the ring until every one
decided they had cheered enough.
In the event Dusek wins, he has
been promised crack at Olson, while
victory for Katan would pit Johnny
against Ernie Dusek in a rematch.

Cunningham Going Strong.

cunningham Going Strong.
THE key man in this quest for a
new record, of course, is Cum
ningham. He is peculiar artist. the
barrel-chested Kansan. Now AZ years
old, he ought to be past his peak.
Last Winter it seemed certain that he
was slowing down. Mangan and
Venzke beat him consistently. He
wasn't able to muster up the famous
old blistering blaze in the backstretch.
But he found himself again out
doors, winning the A. A. U. national
1,500-meter title and leading the
American delegation to the tape in
the Olympics, behind Lovelock. in a
race which the worlds record was
smashed to splinters. And here he is
again, breaking precedents and rec
ords in his first race of the 1887 cam
paign.
His chief rivals, as usual, are Venzke
and San Romani-with the added
threat Of Lash. If Lash chooses to con-
centrate on the mile. Venzke is old
stuff. They call him the picture rum
ner. the leading stylist of the boards,
and he has run some great races in
his time, including a 4:112 Wana-
maker mile. But most of the experts
contend that young Gene already has
run as fast as he'll ever run. again,
which isn't good enough to cope with
Cunningham, day in and day out.
AS for San Romani, Cunningham
fellow Kansan, they were hailing him
as the most promising miller in the
world last Fall. He gave a splendid
performance in the Olympics and then
beat the great Lovelock home in a
special mile at Princeton. He seems
to go better outdoors, however, than
under roof. In Boston, last week,
he trailed the winner by 40 yards.
with Fenske. the Wisconsin flyer, hard
on his heels. Both San Romani and
Fenske touched All, which is by no
means bad time.
When people discuss the limits Of
human speed in the mile run they
usually fix four minutes as the ulti-
mate goal. Indoors, homo sapiens will
be lucky ever to touch 4:05. But Cum
ningham, a good specimen Of homo
sapiens, thinks 4:o5 can be tied, if not
beaten.
THE competition gets sitter each
year." he says, "and sooner or later
somebody is going to be pushed into a
4:05 mile indoors. 1t might even be
me. hope so. anyway"
It's something for the boys to work
on.

VI rose next Saturday, perhaps Is
i Y the most important mile OF the
Winter season To the casual eye. 1t
looks to be just like any other mile,
being $3.50 feet in length and sort OF
pale pink in color, but to the expert
observer, it differs from other miles as
sharply as one breed of blooded but
terfiy differs from another.
The way to judge mile. it seems.
4 BY the company it keeps.
For the last few years, the Wana-
maker mile has been hobnobbing with
the very best people. Fellows like
Glenn Cunningham, Bill Bonthron.
Gene venzke and Joe Mangan are
proud to be seen lettering around the
Wanamaker mile, though. to tell the
truth, they don't really loiter. They
get from one end of it to the other so
fast that people are beginning to point
their fingers and whisper about a
shortage. This charge is denied
strenuously by attorneys for the Wan
amaker mile.
Next Saturday, at Madison Square
Garden, an exceptionally fast field
will circumnavigate the $3.50 feet Of
board which constitute the Wana-
maker. It is the same field that set
fire to the K of C. mile in Boston
last week-Cunningham. Venzke. Don
Lash. Archie San Romani and Charles
Fenske, with perhaps an added starter
or two. If the boys hold to the stand
