® Auto Accident Injury May Keep Hoosier Out of Special Race.

PHILADELPHIA, April 29 (U. PJ). —Don Lash, former University of Indiana runner and individual star of last year’s meet, may not be able to compete in the Penn Relays because of an automobile injury, it was feared today. George Gardner, assistant director of athletics at Indiana, disclosed

when the automobile in which they were driving to Philadelphia swerved from the road and down a 20-foot embankment at Knightstown, Ind. Also in the machine were Archie Harris, Negro freshman from Ocean City, N. J., the driver; Mel Trutt, Hammond, Ind., scheduled for competition in the two-mile medley and four-mile relays, and Malcolm Hicks, East Chicago, half-mile relay team member. All but Lash resumed the eastward journey after cuts and bruises were treated. Gardner said Lash would come here by train if he was able to compete. Lash was scheduled to run in the

and perhaps in the invitation mile against, Glenn Cunningham and Gene Venzke. College, high and prep school and former collegiate stars will participate in 80 relay events and 13 invitation events in track’s greatest annual athletic extravaganza. Feature of today’s competition will be three major college relay faces—the quarter-mile, the distance medley of 2% miles and the sprint medley. In addition, there will be five special invitation events designed to break the procession of relay races. . Tomorrow, the feature relay events will be the half-mile college, four-mile college and twomile college. In addition, the great Glenn Cunningham will run a special mile race against Gene Venzke, his rennial rival, and two other milers who have yet to be designated. Cunningham to Run Sandwiched between the feature events will be all sorts of relay races for college and high and prep school competitors, designed to prepare the youngsters for bigtime competition. All the winners of major relay titles last year are entered again and most of them loom as formidable defenders. They are: Indiana, half-mile, four-mile and distance medley of 2!2 miles; Manhattan, mile and two-mile; North Texas State, 440-yard; and Pittsburgh, sprint medley winner.

1500 to Compete

In Drake Relays DES MOINES, Iowa, April 29 (U. P.) —Fair, warm weather, with a fast track and an imposing list of 1500 competitors, promised a whirlwind start for the 29th renewal of the Drake University relays today. The 15 events for colleges and universities on the opening program gave ample opportunity for recordbreaking competition. First is the two-mile run, featuring Bill Feiler of Drake, the defending champion; Greg Rice of Notre Dame; Ralph Halla of Yankton and Walter Mehl of Wisconsin. All believed they will be able to beat the existing meet record of 9:10.

British Must Find _ New Site for Open

s . LONDON, April 29 (U. P.).—The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews today faced the unprecedented problem of finding a new site for the 1938 open championship because the links previously selected had been found to be unfit. The open had been scheduled for the Royal Cinque Ports course at Deal, Kent, but heavy rains and a subsequent drought played havoc with the fairways. The championships will begin July 4 and there is no chance of the Deal course being in condition before midsummer. The royal and ancient committee announced that it was arranging to obtain another course. The British Open will not be so important to Americans this year, because few of the leading professionals will be able to compete. It clashes with the U. S. Professional Golfers Association tourney
