Equipment Is Better Now, Scribe Points Out; Fleas in Athens.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer - NEW YORK, July 18~The OlymI don't know exactly how extensive it was In the “good old days” when Athens ruled the roost and the original Olympics were held in the shadow of the Parthenon. They tell me that the ancient games were ' not so much athletic competitions 28 gymnastic and esthetic demonstrations, and oratorical carnivals something like our national political conventious. In 1806, in Athens, the modern got their start. In com-

Olympics parison with the games about to [Ebiiadelphi

get under way in Berlin, the 1896

meet was about | Fittsbur

as extensive as

one of our public |g

schools athletic league affairs in New York. And let me tell you another thing, sacreligious as it may seem. Some of those 1896 winning performances wouldn't land a P. 8. A, L. title today. The 1896 meet ; was held in a tight little stadium in Athens. Accommodations for our athletes were terrible. The fleas gave our

nobles of track and field plenty of |i

trouble.

The team which we sent over to 3

Greece just 40 years ago was no more numerous than the baseball squad which will give that exhibition in conjunction with a military

concert in Berlin next month. And |g!

the financial difficulties in those

days were just as tremendous as|¥

they are in 1936. The Amateur

sl Athletic Union had to sell the then | 31°

brand new Olympic idea to the

1h public, and thousands of our eiti- |}

zens wondered why we had to go all the way to Greece to pick up a

few medals and trophies which, our |ot, N. ¥

ciitzens were afraid, ultimately would join other medals and tro- ; pities then being displayed in wery hock shops. » o tJ

ACK in 1806, Germany had no

athletic organization. The idea |}

that Berlin some day would house an Olympic carnival in which 51 nations would be represented by 5300 competitors would have been laughed at even more vigorously

than the suggestion that some Sun- |

“day. afternoon a. Lindbergh would take it into his head to fly across the Atlantie!” * In 1896, the Prussian junkers held a tight rein over Germany, and their athletic ideals were confined to very precise turn festivals. The German

C of the time was regarded as too fat | LU

and lethargic to ever amount to

anything in sport. Now Germany | Smith

is a power in world athletics. The

World War apparently melted a lot B

of lard off the nation, especially above the Prussian Adam's apple.

It is almost impossible to visualize the preparations which the Germans have made for the Olympic games. The Olympic Stadium will seat 100,000. The swimming stadium will hold 17.000 onlookers. The field hockey arena seats 20,000. The

tennis stadium holds 3,000. There |&

are seats for 3000 at the Equestrian

Field, but most of the more impor- |v.

- tant horse events, especially the

polo, will be staged at the May |X

Field, with accommodations for 70,-

h 000 onlookers and room for 250,000 | Gr;

participants. After the Olympics, this field will become the rallying ground for Nazi demonstrators.

There the loudest heils will be hol- | Sark. Exk Jered to Herr Hitler. Much of the | Prev, Cin Olympic equipment has been built | 5

4 Weary Golf Aces Play o

‘ago | By United Press

OMAHA, Neb, July 18.—Four of the weariest’ golfers who ever whammed a drive were to tee off in the semi-finals of the Western amateur golf tournament here today. Out of a field of more than 150 which began qualifying ‘play last Tuesday, they are the only ones who could withstand the blistering effects of four days of a 100-degree sun and the tricks of the heathardened fairways. Se The young collegian, Paul Leslie, of Jefferson City, Mo., met the veteran Johnny Lehman of Chicago in the first match. Not since 1930 when Lehman first won this event has he been hitting. his shots as he is now. He fought his way to the semi-finals with a one-up victory over Don Schumacher of Dallas. Previously he eliminated defending champion Charlie Yates of Atlanta. Leslie met the challenge of an amazing 66, six under par, fired by Jack Munger of Dallas on his second 18, to work his way into the semi-final round. The match went to the thirty-eighth green where Leslie droppéd a 40-foot putt forea birdie three. The Louisiana State University star bagged a 69. . The second match will pair Omaha’s Bob Praser and Grable Duvall of Kansas City. Fraser forged a 4-and-3 victory over Fred Haas Jr. of New Orleans. Duvall played erratically to overcome Dénmar Miller of Des Moines, 4 and 3.

TEE TIME + +

BY PAUL BOXELL

HE Elizabeth Dunn-Harriett Randall rivalry should be good for at least three or four more years. And somewhere in this- stretch, young Miss Randall may be expected to snap Miss Dunn’s solid supremacy over the feminine branch of Hoosier golfdom. Right now the 18-year-old Butler

University coed ' appears the out-

standing threat to a reign by Miss Dunn which includes seven sparkling championships, the last four. in succession.

Miss Dann has whipped her. young’ rival ‘two: years straight now. But

AST year, the Butler girl bowed 4 by a 3 and 2 score. Yesterday, the match ended 2 and 1. Miss Randall, with youth: SE and spunky ambi- , stands * to.

same pair reaches the finals. Or, she may even score the upset then. If she misses, you can bet that Miss Dunn is going to have the fight of her competitive career on her hands the following season. Providing, of course, both are still batting the bouncing pellet around py: that time—and don't we have to fence all assumptions with provisos? Miss Dunn has contended in 11 state championships. There's no reason to believe she won't carry on through several more. Miss Randall is just getting a good start, -and takes the game more seriously every time she plays. i hh : 2 2» ; would be unwise to go further . without bringing the Misses Dorothy Ellis of Indianapolis and Dor~ othy. Gustafson of South Bend into the picture. That Miss Ellis defeated Miss Randall in the Indianapolis city finals this year mustn't be overlooked. The margin was close, 1 up in 20 holes. However, Miss Ellis was eliminated by Miss Dunn in a quarter-final state match, 4 and 2, and Jost out in the first round last

1 hope all this talk hasn't given -

the impression tyranny is budding in the ranks. The scribe most certainly is not atiempting to shade Miss Dunn's achievements or write the popular queen off the throne. The local telephone operator is a personable, well-liked champion and the scribe joins lustily with her admirers in the chorus: “Long live the queen.” But the reigns of all fine champions come to an . end—often abruptly—at the hands of young opponents speeding to the top with ‘detérmination ‘as-their fuel, So it’s only ‘natural observers should look around ’'{o see who shows best prospects of overtaking the Hoosier feminine champion.’ And this scribe wouldn't need much urging to post several shekels on Miss Randall as the fated girl. : y 8 ” ” ! Miss Dunn spent more energy receiving her raft of prizes than she did on the golf course. Every time the champion stepped off the prizepresenting stage with one award in her hands she was called back by
