NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Jesse
Owens, the slender, tan-colored
Negro speedster, wins our nomina-
ton as tracks man of the decade
In one of those photo-f1nishes over
the sturdy, untiring runner OF the
kansas plains, Glenn Cunningham.
Owens was like blazing comet
that burst suddenly across the
skies and then fell from view. Cum
ningham was with us throughout the
decade. a consistently great per-
former who ran his fastest race late
In the 30S.
While the Kansan's feats were
limited to middle distance foot
racing, the Ohio State University
ace shone as sprinter, hurdler and
broad jumper. Owens margin was
increased, too, by olympic triumphs,
something denied Cunningham,
although Glenn broke world record
In 1896 as runner''p in the $500
meters.
Owens chief claims to fame rest
