track against this world champion
ship competition, boy" Elwen scold-
ed Dillard right after his defeat by
Porter.
You want to run against us
sprinters and then you think you
can 60 back to jumping over those
STICKS" Elwell told Harrison patern-
alike. You can't do that when
the chips are down like here today"
Porter, one of the few nemeses
billiard has faced in his last few
seasons of virtually unbeatable hurd-
ling, had this to say about the race:
II had Dillard at the very first
hurdle-and he started to scuff the
hurdles. I knew had him, because
he always left the rest of us at the
first hurdle. His start has slowed
the last few weeks. Porter beat
billiard in the National AAU finals
at Milwaukee the previous week
end)
billiard, whose AAU loss to Porter
was attributed to his tiring activity
in qualifying for the 100 meters the
same day, agreed with Elwell that
he had Tied up"
Il started kicking hurdles and
then I couldn't bring up my leg at
all to go over" ruefully grinned the
Baldwin Wallace Negro. "Oh we'll,
it's good thing I qualified in the
100 meterS-or I'd be stay-at-
home"
One of meets sympathetic favor
ties, Earle Meadows, 1886 Olympic
pole-vault champion, failed in his
try for the unprecedented feat of
winning two Olympic garlands IL
years apart.
When he bowed out at IA feet ION
a technically" the 35-year-old Mea-
dows announced he was retiring as
an active competitor I'm keeping
my feet on the ground hereafter"
he said.
THE three best vaulters won,"
Meadows conceded, but he expressed
dissatisfaction over an AAU ruling
which deprived him of his last try
because he broke his stride and
threw his pole ahead into the pit.
Meadows, who runs book store at
Brownwood, Tex, said he planned
to work for doctors degree in
athletic administration at Illinois
Or U. S. c.
