May Beat Own Indoor
Mark in New York
Saturday Night
Hos Best Performance
In U. S. as Torrance
Coined Top Abroad

AL Blozis, the Georgetown cannon,
begins his quest for the world shot
put title in earnest this week.
Big Al is warming up for the New
York A. C. games and has his eye
on his own indoor record of IS feet
8s4 inches. There are few who doubt
he'll suppress the indoor figures and
go on from there to smash Jack
Torrance's world mark of 81 feet
/ inch.
Only last week Al peeled off his
coat and heaved the lead within 2
inches of the indoor record. The
only exercise he had before the
meet was running for the 5:15 train
to Jersey City. They let him warm
up by winning the 12-pound event,
but it wasn't much of a workout for
the 225-pound youngster, who needs
lots of work to be at his best.
Hap Hardell, Georgetown coach,
isn't putting Blozis out on the limb
with any predictions for 1941, al
though gently limiting he's doing
better in practice than last year,
when he made grand slam. He
won, if you recall, indoor and out
door titles in the National A. A. u,
I. C. A, and N. c. A. A. cham
pion meets. He's going after an
other A. A. U. crown at New York
February %, but that's getting away
from the point.
Record Made at Oslo.
Most of us forget" says Hardell,
"that Blozis has put the shot farther
than any man on this side of the
pond. That includes Torrance and
all the rest Torrance made his
record in Oslo, Norway, but on this
side of the water couldn't come
close to Ais best throw"
Last year Blozis' practice pitches
averaged around 50 feet. Now he's
hitting an average between So and
81 feet, and if that means anything
he'll be at least foot better in out
door competition. That will put him
on top of Torrance's best effort, and
with still another year of competi-
tion ahead he should be able to shat
ter the top figure.
Nor has Al finished growing. That
Is an old gag in colleges, especially
in track. and sometimes it's true.
BloziS has tall, sparse frame and
not an ounce of fat. But he's bound
to broaden out little, ZoOm up to
somewhere around 240 pounds. With
that weight behind him he could
toss "MuSh" Dubofsky for new
record.

Dorsey Griffith may have discov-
cred a pretty good quarter miller at
Catholic U. in Joe Malaney. who
turned in a 52-second quarter an
choring the Cards mile team in the
Penn A. c. games. Malaney is law
student and hasn't paid much at
tention to his legWork until this year,
but it appears as if he'll fit in nicely
with the track setup.
Catholics time of 3:348 was only
q second under Penn States effort in
the featured mile and broke the
record for the class. 1t bettered the
time made by Penn, Columbia and
Princeton
Charley OKeefe's leg of 51.8 was
particularly noteworthy. He was
some 25 yards behind when he took
the baton from Joe Street. but when
he turned it over to Malaney the
Cards had a slight lead.
Westchester Teachers caused the
miX-up, shifting their fastest man
into the No position against the
inexperienced Street. This made
Joe run a trife better than he does
ordinarily but still didn't help

Ry r. r. TAYNTON.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-The first
days judging of the 65th annual
dog show of the West Minister Ken
mel Club brought to the fore some
strong prospects for the group judg-
ing. which is scheduled to start this
afternoon. Foremost of these is
Herman Mellenthin's phenomenal
black cocker spaniel. ch. NV Own
Brucie Brucie topped the 125
cookers, which comprised the largest
entry to the show, and is conceded
to have a good chance to repeat
his last years beSt-in-Show win
Ringside experts could find no trace
of aging or falling off in gayety
and showmanShip.
In greyhounds, a record for sue
cesSive best of breed wins at the
Garden was set up by Harry Peters
White Rose of Boveway, which for
the sixth year made the top grade
Rose was hard pressed this year by
Giralda's Cornish Man, hound that
has been piling up group and show
wins But the younger dog was not
quite able to ouSt this seemingly
perpetual winner. AS far as could
be ascertained at the ringside, no
other dog of any breed has ever
equaled this record.
Buskin of Kenmare Repeats.
Repeating his win at the terrier
show was not too difficult for Buskin
nf t,ltya
which made his debut last week. He
was Christmas present puppy. pre-
sented to James M Austin by his
wife. and if two shows are any cri-
terion. may rival Austin'S record
holding smooth fox terrier, CHI Nor
nay Sander.
Champion Marc of Maridor, Mrs
st. George Dukes English setter of
the famous MaroDaro litter which
made such sensation here three
years ago and which has been max
ing setter history the past year, was
judged best of breed. Another dog
which undoubtedly has good
chance for top group honors and
perhaps more, is Mrs William H.
Longs sable and white collie, Cham
pion Cadet or Noranda. Cadet was
best in show all breeds at the Balti-
more fixture last week. In yeSter-
days judging he met more formid-
able competition in his own breed.
BY far the best fight was given him
by Bob Wills international cham
pion. Astolat Peerless.
Mrs. r. H. Johnston of Silver
Spring, Md. had the best of breed
dog in Dandie Dinmont terriers in
her Champion Donalbain of Ruff
cote. as we'll as the reserve winning
dog in ch. Robin Hood of Ruffcote
and reserve winning bitch in ch.
Sunshine of Ruffcote. All three are
home bred.
The John Herricks of Arlington
generally have to go far from home
to find competition for their Scot
tish deerhounds, but they generally
manage to get something out of it
when they do find the competition.
At this show, their puppy. Diana of
Twelfth Night, took the winners
rosette and best of winners for three
points!
Washington Bulldogs Score.
Iller Won Zwettlerheim. Mrs.
Jouett Shouse's boxer, took the
winners bitch rosette for the third
time in about two weeks, piling up
13 of the necessary Is points for
the title in that short period.
A real delegation of Washington
bulldog members journeyed to
New York. All found it worth while.

"A Negro Looks At
Democracy

One of the greatest enemies OF
a democracy, or any democratic
way of life, is its intolerant at
titude toward minority groups. II
discriminating practices were
ceased and if racial prejudice were
outlawed it would mean more to
demrocacy than any previous step
taken to achieve an ideal demo-
cratic state. With the removal of
this enemy would come real Chris
tan brotherhood, true democracy
and lasting peace.
A democracy is a chain made
up of the desires, principles, laws,
morals and economies of the whole
of the peoples. 1t is only so strong
as each individual link is strong.
Each link must be nodded to wea-
Their the onslaughts of the corrupt,
the unjust and intolerant; the ar
rogant and the evil aggressor. This
chain, in order to accomplish its
purpose must have imbedded in it's
character-unity. All basic foun-
dations must be earmarked with
the sterling good metals of re-
lance, a oneness of purpose, and
do or die spirit of resistance if
this way of life is to live; is to be
preserved.
If democracy is to be saved, it
first becomes necessary to adhere
to the true principles of democ-
racy, devoid of hypocrisy. The
whole people should realize that
the whole is dependent upon in
tegral part that makes up the dem
ocratic machine. That each part
is as essential as the other. That
if one part be neglected and the
other favored the result will be in
efficiency of operation. A machine
which will not operate efficiently
will soon be discarded and dis
posed of as scrap. And there are
too many dealers in scrap COM
modities to allow an otherwise use
full article which, save for a few
repairs, could be quite capable of
satisfying a natural urge. An urge
to be free and secure.
Neither wisdom, life or death
Knows man by his race, creed or
color
Nor by his poverty, fame or
wealth
But rather, by his deeds of cour-
age and valor."
