Track Boom On
In U. s., Says
Ace Coach
Hoyt, Michigan Vet,
Predicts Continued
Reign in O|ympics
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 13.-America's
track and field stars will be doing
business at the same old victory
stand in the 1910 Olympics, says
Charles (ChucD Hoyt, the man who
went to Michigan as a trainer and
became builder of track cham
pions.
Hoyt, lanky and gray-haired, who
looks more like professor than a
coach, sees the United States as a
dominant Olympic power so long as
track continues to grow in this coun-
try.
Track now is one of the country's
fastest growing sports" says Hoyt,
whose Michigan team won its sixth
consecutive Big Ten indoor title
here last Saturday.
college squads are getting larger
and track meets draw bigger crowds.
Records are broken year after year
as the competition gets sitter. But
the end isn't anywhere near.
Sees improvement Due.
II expect to see improvement in
all events, especially in the javelin,
in the next few years. This con-
tinued growth assures us just as
strong an Olympic team in 1910 as
we have had in the past.
Il wouldn't attempt to name po-
tential Olympic material in other
conferences, but We have several
boys ready for international COM
petition in the Big Ten.
AT Michigan we've got Bill Wat
son, the shot putter; Elmer Gedeon,
fine hurdler; Ralph Schwartzkopf,
distance runner, and Allen, a high
jumper, who is out of competition
right now with a bad knee.
wisconsin has Milton Padway,
a pole vaulter already doing better
than IA feet, and Walter Mehl, dis
tance runner. Then there's Bob
Diffenthaler, Illinois crack high
jumper, and Harley Howells, the
quarter-miler of Ohio State.
"Of course. there may be others,
but these stand out right now and I
think all of them have their best
performances still ahead of them"
Has Outstanding Record.
Athletic Director Fielding Yost
hired Hoyt 16 years ago from a
Sioux City, Iowa, high school to train
all of Michigan's athletic teams. He
directed the freshman track team,
too. Nine years ago he took charge
of the varsity squad. At the start of
this season he had won six indoor
titles and five outdoors out of a pos
sible 16
In fact, he's turned out so many
winners that Michigan can't hold
him. He has resigned at Ann Arbor
and next fall takes similar post at
Yale.

Girl Teams Inspired
For Title Struggle
In Star Tourney
Three Out to Make Up
For Boys Defeats;
Stort onieht
BY GEORGE HUBER,

The girls section of The Stars
metropolitan interscholastic basket
ball tournament opens tonight at
the George Washington University
gym, 2010 H street NV, with four
of the outstanding sextets in this
area competing.
George Washington High of Alex
andria and Mount Rainier open
the program at 7:3O, to be followed
at approximately $50 by Mont
gomery Blair of Silver Spring and
st. Patrick's of the Washington
Catholic League. Tonight's winners
face in a preliminary to the boys
final on Wednesday night at Tech
gym.
Each team has a special incentive
to win, aside from the honors and
trophies that go to the champion
ship sextet. This is the first time
that the Catholic League has been
represented, and st. Patrick's is out
to make a good showing on behalf
of the league in its debut in The
Stars tourney. The other girls
teams are seeking a large measure
of consolation for their schools.
Each was represented by a boys
team in that section OF the tourna-
ment. but they all were eliminated
during the hotly contested first
round games.
Blair Slight Favorite.
The Montgomery Blair girls were
established today as slight favorites.
They won the Montgomery County
title with a record marred by only
one tie in six starts. That was
against the Richard Montgomery
High girls of Rockville, which they
later downed. 1915. During the
county series they also defeated
Sherwood High, county champion
and winner of The Star tourney
last year.
High scorer of the Blair outfit is
Dot Travis, niece of Cecil Travis
and sister of Ernest Travis, star CEN
ter on Roosevelt's team. She aver
ages close to IS points game. Her
running mate is Helen Rundvold,
an excellent shot in her own right,
but more noted for her passing,
which sets up many shots for Miss
Travis. Contributing to the success
of the Blairs are Anne Derrick and
Jane Bergman, pair of ball
hawking guards, whose ability to
worry their opponents and take the
ball on rebounds was large factor
in the teams march to the county
title.
Boys Resume Tomorrow.
The boys teams will return to
action tomorrow night with semi
final games at Tech gym, both of
them naturals that promise to strain
the gyms 1000 seating capacity
Gonzaga and st. Johns will face
Tech and Eastern, respectively.
The GonZaga-Eastern clash is
slated at 7:30 pm, to be followed
at approximately 8.45 by st. Johns
and Tech. Admission price to each
session, the girls tonight at G. w.
gym and the boys tomorrow at Tech,
is Is cents. Tickets purchased at
the schools for the boys games also
will be honored at the girls clashes
tonight.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Although
the big league and conference races
are over, college basket ball keeps
right on going with four national"
titles at stake
This week about four dozen teams
will compete in the National Inter-
collegiate tournament at Kansas
City. the New York Basket Ball
Writers Invitation tourney and the
National Collegiate A. A. regional
tournaments, leading up to a final
for the national title A number
also are entered in the National A.
A. U. championships at Denver.
Mostly Small Schools Entered.
Most of these teams represent
small independent" colleges which
have made big names for themselves
in the court world. The N. c. A. A.
event, however, has drawn several
of the big-time titleholders.
For example Wake Forest, regular
season leader of the Southern Con-
ference which was beaten in the title
tournament, plays Ohio State, Big
Ten champion, in the first round of
Eastern regional tourney at Phila-
delphia Friday Oklahoma. which
earned half interest with Missouri
in the Big Six title last Monday, is
entered in the Midland district along
with Drake and Oklahoma Aggies,
co-champions of the strong Missouri
Valley Conference.
Three Titles DeadlOcked.
Oklahoma Aggies also won their
final game last week to tie Drake.
A third major circuit wound up with
a championship tie when Carnegie
Tech conquered Temple Friday to
draw up even with Georgetown in
the Eastern Conference, which shut
down its books for good with the
end Of this season. Dartmouth
finally clinched the Eastern League
title Tuesday by beating Princeton
and thus drew beyond Columbia S
reach.
California, after conquering South
ern California in a play-off of the
Southern division tie. still must meet
Oregon, the Northern division win
ner, in final play off for the Pacific
Coast Conference crown. All the
other major conference champion
ships had been decided earlier in

Blame Is Admitted by Starter
AS BoHcon Loses Record;
Glenn Runs While III

Borican. who bettered Cunningham's
world indoor record and Elroy
Robinson's world outdoor record,
thinks he was gypped.
Il didn't beat the gun" he said.
II didn't. 1 got good start, that's
all. Why should I beat the gun in a
l,000-yard race? That's silly. 1
wanted to get out ahead, but I didn't
beat the gun. Now they're going to
to take my race away from me-"
Even as he was saying this Nc
Hugh was writing on the certifica-
ton sheet that accompanies all ap-
plications for records. Il certify that
it was false start. '"' Borican. the
winner, beat the gun by about
yard" So Borican. no matter how
long he pleads, never can have his
record.
Second Guessers Abuzz.
Already the second guessers are
ganging McHugh and trumpeting for
a younger man as starter. They
are beating their manly chests for
Borican, who they claim was de-
prived of world record.
Borican is just kid as runners
60 and he can break dozen records
from here in. In fact, he is going
after the half-mile record at Dart
mouth Wednesday night when Don
Lash goes after the 2-mile mark. He
probably will break it.
The race had another funny twist.
Cunningham was second in 2:092.
This would be a new world indoor
and outdoor record. if Borican's
mark wasn't accepted. But there
were two instead of three timers
on the race, so Cunningham. who
got out of bed to run, gets even less
than Borican.
