TRACK RECORDS
SURE TO FALL
IN HUB MEET
Cunningham VIII Try for
New Mile Mark If Fans
Do Not Smoke

(UulSeu kEeB8 St8n COrreSp0n0emtD
Boston, Feb. 9-(UP)-With a
world indoor record and three Bos-
ton marks under fire, tracks 400"
Don abbreviated panties and multi
hued shirts to compete in the 5lst
Boston A.A. games-the nations old
est indoor meet-before an expected
crowd Of 5000 tomorrow night.
AS thinly-clad speedsters pound
around the 11-lap saucer In Boston
Garden and Jumpers and murders
go through their specialties, the eyes
of fans and experts alike eagerly will
be watching for new records in the
two-mile, mile and 1000 and 500
yard events In this accepted proving
ground Of track greatness.
World record most likely to fall Is
the two-mile mark Of 8 minutes So
seconds set by Don Lash In the 1887
B.A.A. games. The durable Hoosier
and Gregory Rice, chunky Notre
Dame graduate, have been closing in
on this record. Two weeks ago in the
Knights of Columbus met here, Rice
left Lash in the rlck to win in
9:01.7. Lash raced the distance in
9:00.9 to defeat Rice In New York's
Millrose games last week.
Lash, seeking his. fourth straight
Billings triumph, and Rice, regarded
his logical successor, will be aided
In their assault by the rebuilt cor
ners of the track. Experts claim the
track now Is faster than ever.
No Smoking
But the spotlight once again may
focus on the famed Hunter mile
when the veteran Glenn Cunning
ham, holder Of the world indoor
mark of 4:04.4 and the Boston
Standard of 4:10, toes the line with
a select field. The 30-year-old KAN
san has promised to propel his
flame-seared legs to a new local rec
ord IF the spectators refrain from
smoking until after the race"
Cunningham, seeking his fifth
Hunter triumph and probably max
in ghis final Boston appearance, is
near top form despite the fact that
he has lost all three major indoor
races this season. But his task will
be difficult.
Classy Field
Both his 1910 conquerors, Charles
(Chuck) Fenske, Wisconsin gradu-
ate student, and Gene Venzke,
Pennsylvania stylists, will attempt to
hand the barrel-chested Kansan his
third defeat in 10 Boston starts.
Louis zamperini, formerly Of South
ern California, and Blain Rideout,
Texas twin, also may deal sur
prise. Since all but Rideout raced
4:0g.2 Or better in the Wanamaker
mile, Cunningham's local record
seems doomed.
Tom Kanaly, veteran B.A.A. Of
fetal, believes that Jim Herbert Of
New York Universit yhas the great
est chance Of setting a new mark.
Herbert, in the Hollis 800, holds the
present record Of 1:12.3 and also
the World Indoor one Of 1:11.1. His
