Champions and Stars Tumble One After Another in String of Upsm

Athletes in Lincoln for Track Meet Entrants in Junior Events Open Three-Day Program. Bu United Press LINCOLN, Neb., July I.—Partial relief from the intense heat which has prevailed here this week was promised for opening of the National A. A. U. track and field championships this afternoon. Athletes entered in junior events were to open the three-day racing program at 2p. m. The seniors will perform Saturday and Monday. Enough track stars, runners, jumpers, weight men and pole vaulters have gathered here to keep the record compilers busy for days, provided they perform according to expectations. Largest Field The field is the largest, the most versatile and probably the most accomplished ever to be entered in a National A. A. U. meet. The junior classification includes athletes who haven’t shown enough ■inning ability to threaten the Nevertheless the entries in this afternoon’s contests would cause the rest of the competitors to assume a back seat at an “ordinary” track meet. Included in the junior entries are Morton Kaer, Los Angeles A. C., hurdler and broad jumper; Einar Hermansen, Northwestern University sprinter; Chuck Warner, Illinois, another hurdler; J. E. Little, Indiana’s distance star; Henry Coggeshall, high jumper from Hollywood A. C., and a host of others. Twenty-Four Events Twenty-four events are on the junior program. Thirty-eight clubs, universities, and other organizations have entered athletes at the meet. Numerous unattached performers also will compete. Strong delegations were here from Los Angeles and Hollywood athletic clubs, the Illinois and Chicago athletic clubs, the San Francisco Olympic club, and other “post graduate” organizations in addition to the men still in college.

Columbia’s Victory and Bill Tilden’s Defeat Provide More Evidence. FISTIC FANS WONDER 1927 Apparently Poor Year for Luminaries. BY HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July I.—Columbia’s surprising victory in the intercollegiate rowing championships at Poughkeepsie, coming after an unexpected string of early season upsets, contributed more evidence that this is a poor year for champions and big stars. Bobby Jones lost his American open championship with a display of anything but good golf and th# odds are against him when he defends his title in the British open tournament. With more practice he may be in better form, but the law of averages, at least, will be against him. Mrs. Molla Mallory, the American tennis champion, was defeated at Wimbledon by Betty Nuthall, the child wonder of the British courts, and Mrs. Kathlene McKane Godfree, the British champion, also was beaten. Tilden Also Fails Bill Tilden, former world champion, failed in his attempted comeback in Paris and Wimbledon and his failui-e to reach his old time form puts the Davis Cup in jeopardy. Yale lost the first boat race to Harvard in six years and was also beaten by Princeton. Washington, a rowing power of similar rating in the Far West, was beaten by California in the Pacific Coast championship race and was second to Columbia at Poughkeepsie. The Navy, which had been a well-played favorite all season, also had a heavy fall by finishing a very poor fourth in the big championship. Southern California, which had been dominating the intercollegiate track and field, also was bumped when Stanford won the title, but the Coast still has a claim to merit in the possession of the track champions and the second and third crews. Sport Fans Wonder With all those upsets, sports followers are beginning to wonder if Gene Tunney is on the way out of the heavyweight championship. For some reason, hard to explain, Tunney never has been a highly regarded champion. His victory in Philadelphia last year was attributed to the belief that he wasn’t so good and that Dempsey was terrible. Dempsey and Sharkey are now training for a fight that is expected to make the winner a logical challenger for a championship match later in the season. If the winner should make a great fight, especially Sharkey, Tunney might go into the ring with the odds against him. BAN SCOUTING Bu United Press CHICAGO, July I.—Proposal of Penn to agree to ban football scouting next fall has been agreed to by Coach Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago.

Examining Woolens When Richman woolens have been tested for wearing quality, as described in an earlier article, every yard is then closely examined by experienced woolen men, to guard against possible imperfections in weave or shade. Each piece is slowly drawn over rollers on these tall racks, under bright northern daylight, and the smallest flaw is quickly detected. So, too, any slight variation from the true shade is made apparent. With these unusual precautions, there is little chance that any imperfect fabric can reach our cutting tables.
