A world mile record for fat, un-

verge on Baltimore's spacious 5th

John Munski on the same smooth

Blaine Rideout, Luigi Beccali, Joe

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-There
must have been divine inspiration
in Alabama's scheduling three
breathers to start the next foot
ball season. Particularly in view
of word that gobs of players are
leaving because of scholastic diff
ficulties.
The experts may tell you diff

to win last night. Any time a guy
who has been built up as super

blasted on target ranges through

Sprinter's '5-FIot' Feat
Shades Fenske's Win
Over Cunningham
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 10.-Three
up on the once invincible Glenn
Cunningham in their mile dueling,
Chuck Fenske found his latest VIC
tory overshadowed today by young
Negro sprinter's world record per-
formance
The Wisconsin graduate student
showed his heels to Cunningham
last night for the third straight
time, but it was Norwood Barney
Ewell, a Penn State sophomore. who
stole the show at the third annual
Penn A. c. meet.
Ewell, National A. A. U. outdoor
200-meter champion, was clocked by
three timers in an even five seconds
as he flashed over the board track
to win the 50-yard dash. The per-
formance clipped fifth of a second
off the 26-year -old record Of 10
Loomis of Chicago, whose mark
Ewell equalled here year ago
Eulace Peacock. former Temple Uni
versity star. finished second.
Cunningham made a valiant bid
for his first major victory of the
season and pushed Fenske to a new
"Pennac mile" record Of Abs, but
the old Kansas master couldn't over
come Fenskes homestretch kick.
The two matched strides until the
final turn when the younger Fenske
spurted into 4-foot lead he main
tanned until the finish.
Blaine Rideout of the North Texas
Teachers twins trailed in third
place. The Texan failed to set the
pace he did in the New York Mill
rose mile last week when Fenske,
with three others on his heels,
turned in a spectacular 4:07.4 finish.
Sharing the spotlight with Ewell
and ,Fenske were Tommy Deckard,
Indiana 2-miler; Charley Beetham,
half-miler representing the seth
Regiment of New York, and Art
Byrnes, Manhattan's I. c. A. A. A. A.

In the records of the War De-
partment is succinct cable signed
John J. Pershing," which advises
the War Department in effect that
infantrymen, unless trained in aimed
rifle fire, are not much use in bat
tie combat. That cable is part-and
an essential part-of program OF
rifle training that today has put
the United States in position far
different from that of the unpre-
pared America which entered the
first World War in 1917.
To-day, as a result of our rifle
match program, we are equipped
with more than 5000 qualified in
structors in rifle technique said

Is America still a nation of rifle
men? Does the adoption of the
Garand semi automatic rifle by the
Army as the standard infantry arm
render obsolete the Springfield
.30-O6? Is rifle practice among CIV
ilian marksmen worth anything
more than the personal satisfac-
ton of spotting wiring? Is aimed
fire at 1000 yards translatable into
anything more concrete than a
grin on the face of the rifleman as
he gets the o. K. from the target
squad more than half mile away?
Is rifle shooting with the .30-06 OF
the small-caliber arm sport?
yes, distinctly" said Lister
"And what a sport" said Bill Shaded
publicity man for the N. R. A..
which stands for more than the
New Deal outfit K. Cd by the
Supreme Court. There happen to
be two schools of thought on the
adoption of the Garand, but we
won't go into that AS a semi-auto-
matte arm, spraying lead around
the landscape, it hardly falls into
the sporting class in a Nation of
men bred from the pioneers with
their squirrel guns who could knock
the eye out of deer at 40 rods
with one shot.
"Yes, America is a Nation of rifle
men. More than ever" said Lister
