TWO MARKS FAIL AT CHIC ARD MEET By C D. Stewart. UP Stuff Correspondent Chicago, June ». (AJ.R) With two meet records already shattered and another tied, several more marks appeared likely to fall today as the national collegiate A. A. track am! field championships entered the finals. Stanford, through many brilliant perfol manees in the preliminary yesterday was a heavy favorite to win. The California team exhibited the same superiority over other college and university squads that won it the eastern title recently at Harvard stadium for the second consecutive year. Eric Krenz. the Stanford discus . man, lowered one of the records. His I mark was 149 feet 2 in. lies, as coni- ; pared with the previous record of ' 148 feet. 11% inches established in 1926 by Hud House of California. The second new meet 1 ecord went i to Rice of the college of the Ozarks. | who threw the javelin 204 feet, 9% ; inches to beat by more than two feet the mark established by Hoffman of I Michigan. Bracey, fleet Alee Institute dash | man. who equalled the world record in the 220-yard event in the Texas I relays, was easily the class of the field in the sprints. In qualifying with a 9.8 seconds performance yesterday. he equalled the retjod of De- . hart Hubbard of .Michigan, and possi- | bly could have broken it. The Texan ; eased up noticeably at the finish. A chill breeze affected the other; runners in the trial heats, although ; near-record time was recorded in ! virtually all of the sprints. The possi-I bllity of warmer weather today ; should enhance the opportunity for new matks in thed istances. Stanford qualified for ten places in ‘ the first day's competition, giving it ■ a decided advantage in the tight for i the team championship. lowa sprang I the biggest surprise of the day by ty- ‘ ing the Cardinals. Illinois and Wash- I ington, on the other hand, were vast- 1 ly disappointing to their followers, i The big ten champions took onl* five i places, and the holders of the Pacific coast title garnered only three. The best performances in each of the qualifiying events follow: 120-yard high hurdles —Cuhel. lowa, i Time 15.1. , 220-yaid low hurdles — Anderson. ! Washington. Time 23.5. 100-yard dash — Bracey.

Winning both the Biltisb and Ame;lcan open golf championships In the same year is a feat accomplished bitt once In the history of the royal and ancient tame. Bobby Junes turned the Wick in 1926, but no American or British professional has succeeded hi winning I recognition as undisputed open .champion of the world of golf. Walter Hagen, who won his third British open title at Sandwich last month, is going to Olympia fields bent upon adding the American championship to bis bag of victories for 1928. “The Haig" ptoved at Sandwich that he is in shape this year to come through ai Chicago. Ignoring his overwhelming defeat at the hands of Archie Compston in their $3,750 match at Moor Park, Walter came back a week later to spnvd-eagle the high class field in the British open. There was nothing particularly sensational about Hagen's play ift Sandwich. The secret of his success was four consecutive rounds of good golf, which usually is the secret of success in any open championship. Jones To Compete Bobby Jones, winner of the British open in 1926 and 1927 and of the American title in 1926, will be at Olympia fields bent upon once more doing his rivals, the professionals, out of the lucrative (for them) championship. The Atlantan found that business prevented him from detending his British title, and has played less golf than usual this spring. It will be interesting to see whether Bobby can score another of his spectacular triumphs at Chicago. The golf played by Jones at Minikahda in winning the amateur championship last summer was good enough to take the open title. Rules of the

• amateur call for match play, as com- • pared with medal in th** open, but Bobby had enough good golf in his bag at Minikahda to win tiny kind of a tournament. That was the Atlantan's lust serious effort. Since then he has been paying more attention to business than to gol/, but all he has to do Is to show a brilliant practice round tit Olympia fields to lie listed as one of the favot Ites for the open championship. Armour Defending Title The defending champion will he Tommy Armour of Washington. D. C, who proved such a disappointment at Sandwich. Tommy never could gel going in the British open and failed to qualify, despite the sterling iron play for which he is noted and which he displayed In practice rounds in England. It begins to look as though Armour would take his place alongside Cyril Walker and Willie MacFarlane, those American professionals who Hashed brilliantly across the golfing sky to win an open championship and then faded out. never again to lie rated as dangerous contenders. The open championship carries with it a tremendous monetary reward for the professional golfer who can capitalize his fame. Hagen and Gene Sarazen made small fortunes from their past success; Walker and MacFarlane, and now Armour, have had difficulty in rolling up much wealth as a result of their single victories. A golfer of the type of Johnny Far- ' rell, who did so well in so many minor championships last year, could capitalize the winning of the open after the manner of Hagen and Sarazen. Some pros have “it"; others are just good golfers. Rev. Thompson To Engage In Radio Repair Work , The ReV. Hairy V,’.
