Texas 'TrackSterS Featured Drake
 Relays Yesterday
BY RICHARD KUNZMAN United Press Staff Correspondent

Des Molnes Ia, April 26-(UP)-- Track and field athletes drew bead on the rest of the Drake relays rec ords today.
 More than 15000 spectators ex- pected them to maintain a standard which already has shattered one world mark, bettered six meet rec ords and tied another.
 In today's events, new Drake rec ords ir the shot put, l00-yard dash, and 120-yard high Hurdles were con- sidered highly probable. Oklahoma A & M was regarded Q cinch to smash the university shuttle hurdle mark. The high jump record was tottering under yesterdays assaults. Both sections of the college mile relay record were within easy dis tance.
 Given the same good weather and track conditions, virtually all-new record book may be written by to. night.
 World Record?
 Clyde Littleiield's Texas speed- demons, going after Q worlds mark in the 440-yard relay'-they have al- ready lowered the meet record - an daiming to win the 880-yard re- lay, took most of the attention in the university relay field by win- ing yesterda's sprint medley in 3:232, bettering their own worlds fastest time of SPA for the distance 1n the 440 event they face Wis ccnsin, winner of the other prelim- mary heat, and in the 880, Michi. gan and Rice.
 The Texans send their two fastest men after a new 100-yard mark Fred Ramsdell, one of four who set the spring medley record, and Carleton Terry, one of the 440-yard quartet. will match strides with Louisiana States Billy Brown and Leo Tarra1t, Alabama State college negro. All have equalled the meet record of 9.5, and Brown and Terry have done 9.4
 Confidence of tournament officials that Al Blozis of Georgtowr would shatter the worlds mark of 57 feet 5-S inches in the shot was shown by their action in painting a new mark reading 60 feet.
 Blozis yesterday took the discus record from Jack Hughes of Texas with a toss ot 161 feet, 5 inches then loafed in leading shot quali- fiers at 52 feet, IA inch. Greg Rice. holder of the worlds two and three-mile run records, will appear iii 6 special mile and a hali race on todays program.

the final half-mile leg.
 Indaina drew some measure of solace when two of It's men created new carnival records in winning special events.
 Archie Harris, the Hoosiers' vest ern conference weight chapion, came back after being nosed out in the shot put to break the meets two-year-old discus mark. He lost to Jim Delany of Notre Dame by one-elghth of m inch in the shot. Harris tossed the discus l67 feet, 10 1-8 inches for his record, shat tering the 1889 mark of 163 feet, 4 inches held by Bill Raymonville of Notre Dame. Fred Wilt, of Indiana, big 10 indoor two mile champion, broke the old carnival mark in win ming the two-mile run In 9:l7.6. The former 9:25.9 record was set by Roy Buker of Bates in 1921.
 Duke University staged an upset by winning the 440-relay, in 42 sec onds. Favored North Texas State was second and N. Y. U. and Pitts burgh. the defending champion, failed to place.
 winners of other special events were Glider Farrow of Xavier in the 400-meter hurdles and Ed Dugger ot Tufts in the l0-yard high hur- dies.

 Hot tip out of the deep south: Pete Norton, sports editor of the Tampa Tribune, writes that he is high on the chances of Tommy Go- meg, Tampa boxer, to win the heavyweight championship in the next few years. Gomez has had 20 fights, scored 24 knockouts, won four decisions and lost one. He's 20 years old and weighs around 180, which was Dempsey's approximate fighting weight when he knocked out Will lard. Gomez uses a left hook and Q short, straight right thrown from close to the body. The one thing he has to learn is defensive skill: right now he'll take two punches to land one.
 Big Chance
 A dark horse will have Q great chance to win the United States arli- ateur golf championship at Omaha this year If the army keeps getting top-flight players. Charley Yates, former British amateur champion. has been placed in Class IA and expects to be called next month. Frank Strafaci is in uniform, and 1t looks as though the present title- holder, Dick Chapman, is going to be either physical education in- structor or @ soldier.

He got his nickname when he hit two homers for the Athletics in the 1911 World Series with the Giants. One of them was off Christy Mathewson in the ninth inning, enabling the Athletics to tie the score, win the game in the 1lth inning and eventually win the ser- les. Baker did his hitting in the days of the dead" ball, and he says dog ems of his hits landed Q few inches from the top of fences. With the present Rabbit" ball they would have cleared the barrier for home runs.
 After winter of mulling over the figures, the American football statistical bureau announces: Tom Harmon of Michigan led the college scorers last fall with IF points. Lafayette, with an average gain Of 1882 yards per game, was the best offensive team. Navy, yielding an average of 96 yards per game to op- ponents, was the to pdefcnsive team. Cornell was the leading passing team with an average gain of 1883 yards per game.
 Pepper Martins popularity is pulling the customers through the turnstiles at Sacramento where the wild horse of the osage is manager. The first six days his team drew 24,O9O compared to total of 92,000 for all of last season.

BANTAM CHAMP SAL|CA NEARLY
 LOST HIS TITLE
Transparent Gives Cham. pion Hard Fight in Balti.
 more Bout
BY ERNEST BARCELLA

(Unlteu freSS StAfr COrfeSpOn0ent)
 Baltimore, Md, April 26. - (UP) - The worlds bantamweight crown still sits upon the sleek brow of Lou Salica of Brooklyn to-day, but it's somewhat tarnished.
 Salica got @ thorough going over last night from 8 courageous little nome town item named Lou Trans parent.
 But when the title seemed in dire jeopardy, the champion put on @ closing burst that gave him 6 15- round unanimous decision. He was forced to go all-out to retain the title which he won in 1885, lost the following year and regained in l940. But Transporenti probably earned himself @ return crack at the cham pionship.
 It was a case of a sharp-s ooting slugger having the better of a crafty boxer. If the challenger had had a damaging punch, he might have won. But Transparent was short- suited on power and experience and, at the end, was short on wind, be- cause of his lack of familiarity with the l5-round route.
 For time 1t seemed that the 20-year-old challenger was about to repeat the victory he scored over the 27-year-old champ in a non- title battle last month.
 Good Start
 He stabbed a sharp left to Salica'S face for the better part of eight rounds, piling up s to 2 advan- tage in rounds.
 The eighth marked the end of Salica's retreat. Soon after the ninth opened, the champion started a two-fisted offensive. Transparent decided to slug 1t out with him. From then on, Salica piled up point after point and drew even ct the close of the eleventh.
 Tn the 18th Salica leaped from his corner and caught Transparent flush on the jay with a hard right, then followed through with a batter. ill gattack that put him ahead.
 Transparent made a last desper- ate bid in the 18th, which he won. From then on, 1t was all Salica. In the final 10 seconds of the last round Transparent was on the verge of e knockout.
 There were no knockdowns.
 Salica weighed in at 117 1-2; Transparent l17 3.4.

KING COLE GETS. HARD TEST AS.
 DISTANCE HORSE.
Fine Field of Kentucky Derby Candidates in
 Wood Memorial Today
By JACK GUENTHER

United Press Stan CorrespOndent)
 New York, April 26-(UP)-Young King Cole set out today to stretch his dazzling early speed over the mile and 1-16 route of the $20,000 Wood Memorial and prove that the east isn't out of the Kentucky Derby yet.
 The son of Pharamond II, now the stand-out choice of the aestern plungers, went against eight rivals of assorted ability and regulations before 35,000 spectators at Jamaica in the race which long has served as New York's derby preview, and on all sides he was solid If not overwhelming favorite.
 The King faced two very tough rivals in Cold Stream studs Curious Coin, one of the two top horses of the Florida season, and Brooke meade stables Mettlesome, only horse in the Wood field not named for the derby. He wasn't expected to be given too hard a run by the others.
 They were the entry of Richmond and Harvard Square, Marketwise, Gun Bearer, Master Henry and Minnelusa, the latter Ally.
 Distance Test
 Winner of the Paumorok handi- cap in his only 194l start, and now 6-to-1 in the derby future books, King Cole has worked excellently for this test. The King has proved already that he has plenty of speed but never before has he been asked to run farther than sprint and nobody was certain how he would react. Trainer Jim Fitzsimmons, who has won the Wood six times before,f pronounced him fit and full of frisk, but offered no predic- tions.
 The horse expected to give King Cole his stoutest challenge was Curious Coin, who finished only Q head behind Dispose in the Flamingo Stakes in Florida. Although he was defeated in @ prep event last week, he also has been working well in WhHllLlB' OlSpOoC Wdo poOhSo VI A6 irally for the Wood but cut him. self and was withheld.
 The Wood, run 16 times before, is regarded on all sides as the race to determine the size of the derby field. A victory for King Cole or Curious Coin would tend to hold the number down, while an upset for one of the dark horses would throw things wide open. The chances of the lesser knowns-Gun Bearer, Master Henry and the others-ship- ping to Louisville for try at the roses rested squarely on their show ing today.
 Minnelusa received a five pound sex allowance and came in at 1l5 pounds while the male members of the group carried l20. The track was good and the weather conditions fair. The Wood was the sixth race on the Jamaica card and carried first money of around $l4,000.

BY OSCAR FRALEY United Press Stan Correspondent


 Philadelphia, April 2e-CUP)-- New York University sought a grand slam in the 47th annual Penn relay Carnival today, sending its runners after four major championships.
 Chief competition for the New Workers came from Indiana'S big 10 squad, already bested twice by the customers in pair of stirring stretch duels.
 It was Leslie MacMitchell, N. Y. us IC4A mile champion, against Campbell Kane, the Hoosiers' west ern conference mile king. with the relay Carnival championship in the balance. MacMitchell. slight, dark haired front-runner matches strides again today with the tall, lanky Kane in the two-mile and four-mile events.
 The Violets meet their chief op- position from North Texas Teach- CTS in the 880-yard relay. N. Y. U. and Indiana meet in the one-mile event but neither MacMitchell nor Kane participate on these teams. The two-mile and the four mile, favorite events for the distance running mid-westerns, again bring the two men together.
 Close Finish
 MacAitchell twice nosed out Kane yesterday to give N. Y. U. its champ ionships in the distance and sprint medleys. In the final mile of dis tance Medley, Kane challenged in the stretch but MacMitchell accept ed and ran to three-foot victory. The sprint medley was run in two heats and Indiana, with Kane run ming anchor won the first heat in 3:28.7.

it's power to inspire our love of country, to
make us fairly tingle with patriotism and
to make all of our petty problems seem
to melt away in the face of our primary
task of safeguarding everything that the
name of America stands for.
All Fourth of July observances were
marked with mingled emotions. The tradi-
tional holiday enthusiasm was not only
marred by rain, but more definitely by the
shadows of grave events across the waters
which threaten our shores and by the
huge armament program now underway
in this nation.
eve cannot save freedom with pitch
forks and muskets," President Roosevelt
declared, NOR can we save it in our own
midst, in our own land, if all around us
our neighbor nations-have lost their free
dom.
ct tell the American people solemnly
that the United States will never survive
as a happy and fertile oasis OF liberty

"And so it is when we repeat the great
pledge to our country and to our flag II
must be our deep conviction that we pledge
as we'll our work, our will and if necessary,
our very lives"
America has chosen it's course and yet
there has been too much opposition among
few persons and too much criticism Tor
the good of the whole program TO be VIC
torious, we must be united. Our way mas

every person to follow the flag.
America needed the tonic which was al
forded through the Fourth celebrations
and as a result we believe the entire pre-
paredness program will 60 forward more
smoothly and more rapidly in the future
Strikes in defense industries must stop

same time we believe that Senator Wheel

calm down. Preserving Democracy and our

Patriotism Aroused

By speeches and music, patriotism in
this country was aroused last Friday to a
higher pitch than it has been since the days
of the first World War.
The major address of the nation, deliv-

tic and emphatic warning Of the dangers
that confront America and called for
"pledge of lives as we'll as allegiance to
the flag.
The principal patriotic addresses in this
state were delivered by Senator Bailey at
Asheville; Hon. Cameron Morrison, for
mer governor and United States Senator,
in Ashe county and by Former Governor
Clyde Hoey All three of these were mag
nificent speeches and stirred the minds
and hearts of all those who heard or read

for the priceless heritage of freedom, iber-

Entered
In First Pooling
Bring Good Price

Lambs entered in the first
pooling of this season were sold
on the Jersey City market this
week for a good price. according
to a telegram received by Coun-
ty Agent c. J. Rich.
Blues brought a top price of
Is cents and reds sold for a top
price of 1917 cents.
Twenty-seven Ashe county far
mers participated in the pooling
that was held last Thursday. A
total of 1873 lambs, weighing an
average of "a pounds, were ship
ped on Friday. Allegheny also CO.
operated in the pooling and 1877
lambs were shipped from that
county.
1T was very evident that those
growers who had lambs from
good breeding stock and that had
been drenched for worms and
dipped for external parasites
would command the better prices
when the lambs reached the mar
ket," Mr.. Rich stated.
The next pooling will be held
the latter part of this month.
