FRESNO, Calf, May "a CUP)-
The 18th annual West Coast Relays
provided numerous examples of in
diyidual brilliance, yet the most
startling phenomenon of the big
thinclad carnival was the fact that
not a single new record of any
type-World or meet was estab-
liShed.
The relays began in 1927 and the
following year John Kuck of the
Los Angeles Athletic club set a new
worlds shotput record of 81 feet
= inch.
In all, 10 world marks have been
set and four tied at the relays. but
the 10000 who sat in the balmy
twilight at Radcliffe stadium Sat
urday went home slightly disap-
pointed because not even the in
comparable Cornelius Warmerdam
and Hal Davis could get off record
efforts.
CAPTURE TITLE
The University of California,
mainly because of Davis, captured
the team title with 48 points. fol.
lowed by Stanford, SO; Southern
California, 80, and Missouri, u.
California came very close to
tying or setting a world record in
the 880-yard relay, being timed in
1888, just eight-tenths of a second
over Stanford's 1897 performance.
Davis, determined to blast re-
ports that he was burned out, un-
was timed under q flat
fol his anchor 220 yards, around
one turn. Prince Hal doesn't get
much fun out of running unless
he's up against first class competi-
tion-and he got plenty of that
from Joe Shy of Missouri.
Shy, a consistent 81 dashman,
had a four-yard edge on Davis at
the beginning of that torrid an
cbor lap and not even the most
rabid Davis follower would have bet
five cents on Halls chances of
catching up.
GREAT DUEL

its annals a description of a greater
tWo-man duel than the one Davis
and Shy put on in the last 100

definitely in common, TO wit:

bring up the matter now
because this would seem 10 be
the appropriate moment for re-
porting on a new book not by,
but about Nathan, a study Of
his critical opinions covering
nearly 40 years of professional
playgoing, and scattered over
some 20-odd volumes of COM
ment.
Constance Prick has patiently
gone through the millions and
millions of words written by
Nathan since he picked up his
pen in 1905 and leveled it, like
a joustin lance, against clap
trap in the theater.
1t is a slim volume, too small
to do full justice to the subject,
but it is discerning and provoca-
tive and, since it often takes on
the color of the work it is dis
cussing, it is always readable
and entertaining.

highest happiness I'm life comes
from doing ones job thoroughly
well; from avoiding indignation,
irritation, and homely women;
and from letting the uplift go

Yet, when Miss Frick asked
him what he considered his
greatest contribution to the
American drama, excepting his
early encouragement of Eugene
O'Neill. the utterly Indifferent,
nonuplifting nonreformer re-
piled:
"The Introduction into tho

Young native playwrights like

up his peacetime writing and
now sticks entirely TO the war.
He is on the staff of the Auto
motive Council for War Produc-
ton and we hunted him UP in his
office in the New Center Build
ing.
AS a further example OF the
unsung courage of the grease
balls, he told us the unpublished
story Of two Detroit mechanics
who went to work in one of the
plants one morning and were
told to take their tools and some
extra clothes and fly 10 an army

Is It What He Means7

'Finnegan's Wake" suggests
ideas without using known or
conventional words 10 express
them. Reading it is like piecing
together or trying TO translate
the meaning of something in a
language which the re a d e +
doesn't know, but which he can
guess at-now and then closely.
At other times you just ride
along on the sound. Joyce is
able to make the odd words
seem satirical, humorous, or
simply eloquent-though l don't
pretend TO know that in any in
stance that is the effect it in
tends.
AS Campbell and Robinson
point out, it is "a strange per-

tons involved. The students
Of Joyce have adduced enough
