EADING the assault on the books
will be such stars as the vault
ing quartet of Bill Seton and Earle
Meadows of the University of South
ern California, George Varof of
Oregon and Cornelius Warmerdam

These four recently scared over
the official world record with IA
feet 7's inches in the national A. A.

Three outstanding javelin throwers

that event. Bill Reitz. star from the

But 10 years and more ago big, jovial
Cy could southpaw his way around
Columbia's tough golf course in fig
ures that many men would envy.
He never was a crack golfer like
Stevinson and some of the others.
But when he broke IS he was as
happy, to use one of his own phrases,
as pig in potato field.
Years ago Cy used to be the chief
speechmaker and master of ceremon-
les at all the little golf doings around
Columbia and at some of the other
clubs near Washington. No big golf
tournament was complete without a
few words from the tall oak OF Mont
gomery County.
But they broke Cy's heart over at
Baltimore few years ago by dis
qualifying him because he was a few
minutes late for golf match, and
Cy dropped out of golf tournaments
That sort of stuff was too small for
the big heart of Cy Cummings. He
played golf for the fun he got out
of it, and what mattered a few min
utes to a guy in the fifth flight.
Columbia Will Miss Him.
HE ALWAYS was out there at Co.
lumbia whenever they had any
kind Of golf affair, his booming voice
offering congratulations to the win
ners and his big heart giving kindly
pat on the back to the losers. Cy was
the kind of character you'll never for
get. He played the game straight and
right down the line to the last putt.
They'll miss Cy around Columbia
probably more than any man has been
missed there IN many years.

meets Hobo Williams in 10
4 round non-title fight at Griffith
Stadium July 90 under the auspices
of the Variety Club, is the personifl-
cation of an ideally blended fighter
the savaeeness of Jack Dempsey tenn
pered by conduct which would be &C
cepted in high society. The latter,
of course. is true of Steele, the man,
not the fighter.
Typically collegiate in appearance,
Steele is direct contrast to the
public's general conception OF
fighter He is unmarked and un-
affected, but with it all he is unmer-
clful. Fighting, to Freddie, strictly
is business and since that profession
paws off on knockouts, perhaps Steele
is fortunate in possessing that hlehly
regarded fstic commodity known as
killer instinct.
Perhaps no other bout in his
career illustrates that quality so
effectively as his scrap with Vince
Dundee at Seattle two years ago.
It was Freddie's first big opportunity
for national recognition and he capl-
tallzed on it to the fullest extent.

places. He was beaten so badly that
Steele himself returned to the dress"
ing room and became i'll.
Freddie foored Vince before the
fight was 10 seconds old, breaking
Dundee's Jaw in that first round. Since
managers of both fighters had agreed
the fight under no conditions could be
stopped on a technical knockout. the
bout continued despite that fractured
law. They were fighting in Freddles
back yard and Dundee's manager
feared the scrap would be stopped If
Vince appeared in trouble.
Dundee was great "comeoack
fighter, dangerous even in trouble.
His manager must have played that

canvas l3 times before the referee lg-
nored the pre-bout agreement and

It's a cruel sport that dictates man

might retaliate with a haymaker, it,
simply part of the game.
Steele asks no quarter and gives
none, although he did plead with the
referee in that instance to stop the
