BRUNEI Herbert, last Of indoor tracks
big four to achieve real stardom,
places his newly won fame in jeopardy
tomorrow night when he faces crack
field in the 60O-meter race of the
National A. A. U. championship meet.
Compared with the task before Her.
bert, Glenn Cunningham, Don Lash
and Ben johnson face mere warmups.
No. opponent of the New York U.
Negro, who won nine straight races, is
Ray Malott Of Stanford, the National
A. A. U. and N. C. A. A. 400-meter
champion. He has not raced indoors
this season, but he probably is the
best quarter miller on the Pacific
Coast. Wesley Wallace Of Fordham is
another threat. First man to beat
Herbert this season, Wallace is be-
heved by track observers the coming
runner Of the East.
Rivals Close Behind.
Just behind these stalwarts come
Charlie Beetham of the Curb Ex-
change, late Of Ohio State; Doug Ray
mond, the Boston University runner
whose tremendous kick almost
caught Herbert in the Buermeyer 500
last week, and two fine college quar-
ter-milers, Eddie Cook of Williams and
Dick Gill Of Boston.
Such field may take the play
away from the 500 meters, the metric
mile in which Cunningham will shoot
