PRINCETON, N. j., June 13-
Having mulled the situation care
fully, the cinder- track flyers, led by
Glen Cunningham, are accepting
bids to the Princeton invitation

Up until last night it looked as
though the Princeton athletic au-

to compete with Englishman Sgd
ney Wooderson in the mile run at
Palmer Stadium Saturday.
In Fine Fettle, Says Glen.
But friend Cunningham, a KAN
sas speeder, wiped away the worry
when he telephoned from Cornwall
on-Hudson last night that he felt
in fine fettle and would have a bit

the fast Palmer track.
Finishing close behind Cunning
ham in acceptances was Johnny
Woodruff. University of Pitts
burgh's Negro star who changed his
mind q second time within a few
hours and decided to run in the $50
here instead Of appearing at the N.

Wooderson Has Edge
Over Cunningham
In Condition
Neither Likely to Run
Against Clock; Sydney
Almost Mystery Man
BY DILLON GRAHAM,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

PRINCETON, N. j., June 49,
That long sought-after foot-racing
Mile Of the Century" between a
London lawyer and a Kansas school
teacher comes of here next Satur-
day. But the odds are that neither
will approach the perfect 4-minute
mile that tracksters have been en-
visioning.
The British invaders in polo, golf,
tennis and other sports in recent
years haven't enjoyed much success
over here, but the 126-pound spindly
shanked Sydney Charles Wooderson
may lug home triumph over
Americas Glenn Cunningham.
Wooderson and Cunningham are
quite probably the worlds two best
milers today. The main objective
OF both will be to win, with the time
secondary matter. And they'll
likely be so busy watching one an
others maneuvers and trying to out
jockey each other that their time
won't be worth writing home about.
Cunningham in Mediocre Trim:
Wooderson holds the world mile
record at 4:06.4 and the half-mile
at 1894. Cunningham has run the
fastest mile on record, 4:044 per-
formance at Dartmouth year
ago, but it was indoors. He's the
American outdoor mile champ, too.
Three years ago Wooderson in
jured an ankle and was beaten in
his heat in the 1,5OO-meter event
of the Olympic games. He saw
Jack Lovelock beat Cunningham In
a record-shattering final
The Briton apparently is in much
better shape now than is Cunning
ham. Shortly before he sailed from
England, Wooderson raced a mile in
just a second slower time than his
worlds record and later beat the
accepted worlds mark for three
quarters of mile, in 2:595.
Cunningham, who has been trav-
cling over Kansas giving lectures
at schools and running whenever
he could. hasn't touched the best
mile times he made a year ago.
His fastest this year has been 4:l0.7.
Gives Word Picture of Sgd.
Our outstanding miller for several
years. Cunningham is we'll known
to every track fan. But Wooder-
son is almost mystery man in
this country.
From London Drew Middleton
comes through with personality
sketch of Wooderson:
HE is shy, retiring and softly
courteous. He cares nothing for
publicity. He has never indorsed
a product, crooned or popped off.
He is "a. Like Gene Venzke, he
started track activities by running
cross-country.
He took to running because a
fellow wearing glasses couldn't
handle cricket or rugby. No one,
not even his coach, Albert Hill.
knows what he can do. Hill be-
lieves he is the only present-day
runner capable of a 4-minute mile.
Some day, somewhere, he'll do it,
Hill says.
"Wooderson is 5-feet-6. He will
seem like Cuuningham's kid brother
when they get out on the track.
Sydney has amazing endurance. a
sure judgment of pace and a fine
competitive spirit"
Given perfect racing day and,
with Cunningham willing to let out
and race the clock too, Wooderson
may chop the mile mark down close
to four fiat.
