MeDonogh, a young serial daredevil I who used to change planes In mid air I do trapez stunts and hang from wings I by his teeth or toes, came into the I speed sport as a pupil of Tommy MilI ton and long before he bad won the I type off the “Driver’s Manual" and had I writer's cramp from taking notes at I lectures, he was starting a speed mad I world with his daring and consistency I on the track. Shy, even diffident in the turmoil of | crowds, McDonough has a cold calcuI lating dominance on the track that | made him known among his competi- | tors as the “blonde mummy". Time after time during his early enI counters on the speed paths when his skill and daring had placed him in important positions, the old timers tried I to lure him into traps on the track. , Sometimes they would attempt to | tease him off-pace in an attempt to I melt his tires, other times they would attempt to slow him up so that he [ might foul plugs or generate motor I truble.

In the half-mile relay, Roy Anadell gave Decatur a nice lead in the first 220 yards. Just as he handed the baton to Joe Krick, second runner, a Garrett runner stepped on the heel of one of Krick's running shoes pulling it off. Krick was forced to run the 220 yards with no shoe on that foot and, consequently, fell several yards behind. In the shot put, Welker was not permitted to use his own shot, the officials ruling that it was slightly under weight. He was forced to use another weight that was considerably larger in size and ho could not get the proper grip on it. As a result his best mark was 39 feet 113-4 inches. Wallace of Larw?'l won the event will’ a heave of -13 fert 7 1-8 inches. Welker took one trial with h:s own shot and beat that mark, but the official.! would not count it.

WHISKERY WINS KENTUCKY DEBBY Whitney Colt Emerges As Outstanding Thoroughbred Os America Louisville, Ky., May 16.—(United Press)—With the Preakness and Kentucky derby out of the way, the long summer battle for the three-year-old turf championship of 1927 was on today. Out of the fling dirt clods and pounding of hoofs in the splendid derby run here Saturday, Harry Payne Whitney’s Whiskery emerged as the outstanding thoroughbred of America. He proved the greatness of the broomstick strain,, to which he traces his ancestry, and established himself as possessing the essential qualities of speed, gameness and staying ability. But Whiskery is not yet the undisputed champion. By the time the rich Belmont stakes is run, and the other hg stakes to bo contested in New York and Maryland before fall, withstand the challenge of perhaps Whiskery ust fight and fight hard to half a dozen good three-year-olds that this season has developed. He has yet to meet the Rancocas stable’s Sweopster and the Seagram stable’s Sir Harry, neither of whom contested in the derby. J. E. Widener’s Osmand was beaten only a head in the derby and apparently is still capable of giving the Whitney speedster a tough battle. Whiskery won the laurels in a driving finish with Osmand and Jock follownig closely in his wake. Behind these three were followed a brave but hopelessly struggling band of thoroughbreds, the remainder of a field of 15 that faced the barrier at the start. In fourth place and a length behind Jock wa sllydromel, one of the hopes of the native Kentuckians. Following Hydromel and outside the money, came Bostonian, Buddy Bauer, Royal Julian, Fred Jr., Scapa Flow, Black Panther, Kieve, Rolled Stocking, Rip Rap, Bewithus and War Eagle in the order named. ’ Whiskery had to show plenty of courage to win the great Kentucky classic. It was his superior endurance and staying power that enabled him to come sweeping down the stretch and stick his brown nose out ’it front of the Wdener colt that was rdden by the great Earle Sande, to say nothing of' vanquishing Jock and Hydromel, who were contenders down to the wire. McAtee rode Whiskery and seemed to have judged to a nicety what stuff was in his mount, for he kept Whiskery well in hand on the back stretch, saving him for the final spurt in the last quarter. o Indiana Beats Purdue In Dual Track Meet Lafayette, May, 16 —Indiana’s well balanced track team scored a narrow margin victory over the Boilermakers in a dual meet here Saturday, 7X% to 63%. Purdue felt the loss of the best services of Captain Little, stellar middle distance man, who competed under the handicap of a strained leg. Indiana made a clean sweep of the 440-yard dash and' the two-mile run, while Purdue took a slam in the high pump and scored heavily in the hurdles and dashes. o NOTICE Dr. Boyers will not be in his office until Saturday, May 21st. 115-2tcl
