Talking It Over BE JOE WILLIAMS

New YORK, July 19 —Hit-and-run thoughts: The Olympic tryouts are over and the qualifiers look as if they will do all right In the international battles . . . The east qualified more men than* any other section of the country and I suppose this comes as a shock to the natives of the Pacific coast, the hotbed of track and field champions. Still, I hope nobody decides to make a national Issue of the situation. It might prove embarrassing. Your modern track and field champion Is not wholly unlike the old-time prize fighter; hl.s native city ws where he could get a fight. A comfortable contact with the box office automatically established him as a "local boy who made good." Among other things, the trvouts merely confirmed the suspicion that geography has very little to do with the development of super athletes. It takes more than an active chamber of commerce to make a 9 7 sprinter. Some of the better known athletes fs led to click. Frank Wykoff. the "fastest human, didn't even make the team as a sprinter. His failure doesn’t add much weight to the charge that eastern timers conspired to make the coast speedsters look "bad." In a man-to-man race time isn't Important, anyhow. The “•in idea is to get across the tape first. Wykoff is obviously a better man at 100 yards than at 100 meters. He lacks the drive and kick that are so essential over the slightly longer distance. One wonders why the athletic authorities persist in sticking to the yardage system when the Olympic events are decided on the metric system. nun STILLL, it didn't seem to affect some of the boys. Ralph Metcalfe for example. The fast Negro from Marquette served notice that he will be a tough assignment for the world at large in both the 100 and 200-meters. The mid-western-er stands out as one of the great sprinters this country ever has developed. He is an unusual combination of great speed and great strength. The added distance demanded by the metric system is all to his liking. op-form In anv high pressure difficult, Very likely however. Metcalfe will succeed In doing it. For one tntng the final tests are not far away For another he is a giant, superbly muscled and perfectly trained. It Is evident that be came un to the trvouts fully eauipped. It Is eauallv evident that some of the other boys left- their fight in the gymnasium. How else can you account for the collapse of such established performers as Oene Venzke. Emmet Toppino. Bob Klesei ! and George Bullwinkle? Their past records wern't built on press-agentrv. They were real good men. Everybody knows that overtraining can be as ruinous as under-train-ing. Venzke was at his peak six months ago. the night he ran that smashing mile In Madison Souare Garden. If you can run one race like that it seems reasonable to assume that under similar conditions you can run a second one. The answer seems to bo that the gods of form did not love Venzke in July as they did in December. Our friend. William Carr of Pennsylvania. came back with another great race to beat blazing Ben Eastman and to settle definitely all auestion as to the identity of the best Quarter mlier in the game. By far the outstanding development of the trvouts was the amazing pole vault of William Graber of Southern California who boosted the record to the incredible figures of 14 feet 4 : ! inches, bettering the world mark hv more than 3 inches. You get some faint idea of the Immensity of this vault when vou consider that a few years ago a 13-footer was looked upon as I sensational.

Swiss Athletes Fussy; Turn Down Own Cheese

BY RONALD WAGONER United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, July 19.—Swiss athletes in training for the Olympic games flatly refuse to eat their nation's widely advertised Swiss cheese. The Argentines are hounds for tea. The Italian runners and jumpers are true to form and thrive on their native spaghetti. The Germans dislike American food "because it is too greasy.” The chefs catering to the husky athletes from all parts of the world proved to be very fussy about their kitchens. Their welcome, on the whole, was about as cordial as that extended by an American housewife to an iceman with muddy shoes—on the day the kitchen linoleum has been freshly scrubbed. However, it was possible to learn that forty-six kitchens behind the 1,600 feet of space included in five separate dining halls furnish almost any dish known to any part of the globe. Each kitchen has a chef representing one of the major nation* participating in the Olympic gnrr-e-.

All of the food is ordered through the village commissary at a rate of $2 per day for the board and room of each man. The attaches of each nation are delegated to see that their athletes receive the food they want and need for training. The Japanese have their osahimi, or raw fish, rated as a great delicacy. But a most unusual situation has developed, the chef admitted through an interpreter. The athletes, practically to a man, have developed a mania for American style ham and eggs. They demand them almost every morning for breakfast. Dr. Paul Martin, who will run the 800-meter race for Switzerland, dispelled the idea that a real Swiss misses his Swiss cheese. He said he liked American cooking, especially soft boiled eggs for breakfast. The Argentines are known to the commissary as meat eaters. The Japanese and the Italians are listed among the heaviest users of vegetables and fruits. The Anglo-Saxons, particularly the college football players of the United States, were described as eating anything and lot* of it.

: By United Press NEW YORK, July 19.—Even Old Man Misfortune so far has failed to | halt the New York Yankees’ penj nant march. Bad breaks have I walloped the Yanks on the chin twice within the last eight days, leaving two of their best hitters out of the game; Babe Ruth with a bad ‘‘Charley horse,” and Bill Dickey with a thirty-day suspension. Monday the Babe was carried off the field at Yankee stadium after he had pulled a muscle in his right leg chasing a short fly. One week previous to that break directors of the league upheld catcher Dickey’s SI,OOO fine and thirty-day suspension for breaking Cai;j Reynolds’ jaw at Washington. Despite Ruth’s accident in the seventh inning, the Yanks beat the Chicago White Sox, 6 to 4. Lou Gehrig, Joe Sewell and Tony Lazzeri contributed home runs for New York, and Kress homered for Chicago.

Polly Parrot I read a pretty clever article the other day—and in it the writer said that nearly every one in the world was like a parrot. Somebody that thinks says something and all the world, parrot-like, repeats it. He says we even act like parrots when we talk to parrots. Nine men out of ten seeing a parrot would say, mechanically, "Polly wants a cracker?” What we are depends on what we think. The history of men is the arrival of thinkers in the world. “Men swam creeks until one of them thought of straddling a log and paddling with his hands. That lasted until another made a wooden paddle, and still another held up an animal skin for a sail. Then Fulton thought about using the expanding power of steam. Thought is the power that moves everything in the fives and history of men. It is your thinking and nothing else that will give you the success you want. Why do the poor become rich? Because poverty compels them to think or remain the employee of another. Imitating in place of thinking explains many failures. You remember the story about the jackass seeing his master's pet, a small dog, that had jumped in his lap. The jackass imitated the dog, by jumping in his master’s lap—but the result was different. And so we see the constant failures of folks who polly parrot-like try to imitate some one else, Here's a fellow says I’ll imitate this man. I’ll advertise in the papers like he does. I’ll give service like he does. I’ll do the things that have made him successful—and I’ll be successful, too. But he merely imitates—he doesn’t think. He merely repeats “Polly want a cracker?” —and falls flat in his efforts to be a success. * Everything worth while has been, created by thinking. The telephone, wireless, the radio, the automobile, the aiprlane—all the results of applied brains. Think—don't imitate. Don't be a parrot. Always yours, SAM TROTCKY. * P. S. Thinking created the 50c car wash and 50c grease job. Thinking created the new IndianaP with its wonderful waiting room. Thinking made IndianaP an outstanding success. We IndianaP folks never imitate. We create ideas. We are ever alert to the new ideas that will please you better and save you money. INDIANAD ■ 1121 N. Meridian. ■
