Irish fo Defend Track Crown

Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind.,, May 27. —

The flying feet of Indiana's college

diana University is host to the nine-

‘|teenth annual Indiana track and

field carnival.

Brilliant casts in both the track and field events may force several new state records into the books and the “team battle” between Notre Dame’s defénding state champions and the Big Ten indoor and outdoor | championship Indiana University, squad- into the background.

The Irish captured the 1940 crown) by amassing 63% points, while Indiana, greatly handicapped by the absence of little Roy Cochran, wha annexed three blue ribbons in the 1939 meet, finished in the runner-up spot with 461% points. Purdue was third with 31 points, Butler had 17%, Ball State 4; Rose Poly 1% and Der Pauw 1. Six Hoosier collegians who won eight individual crowns in last year’s meet will ‘be forced to the limit to

_|retain their championships, judging

from the performances this spring of the new stars throughout the state’s schools. Returning champions are Bob Saggau of Notre Dame, who won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes; Maic Jenkins of Indiana, 1940 quartermile champion; Campbell Kare of Indiana, who scored a double victory in the mile and half-mile; Ed Holderman of Purdue, two-mile; Cliff Brosey of Notre Dame, shot put, and Archie Harris of Indiana, discus. Notre Dame will be seeking its Indiana its eighth and Purdue its second. Since the Boilermakers won the first state championship in 1923, the Irish and Hoosiers have dominated the annual carnivals. Notre Dame won in 1924, 1925, 1926, 1928, 1930, 1931, 1935, 1936, 1938 and 1940. Indiana was the crown in 1927, 1929, 1932—when ‘the Hoosiers went on to cop the national collegiate championship--1933, 1934, 1937 and 1939.

U.S. Open Field

Evansville’s Hamliton Among Qualifiers,

NEW YORK, May 27 (U. P.). — The field for the National Open Golf Championship was complete today with only a few “name” golfers missing from the group of 172 which plays June 5-7 at the Colonial Club, Ft. Worth, Tex. No former champions are among the casualties of yesterday's 36-hole qualifying rounds that saw a thou-sand-odd hopefuls battle in 27 sections for 128 places in the tournament proper. Golfers at opposite ends of the

in. the San Francisce = district, Harold Sampson carved himself a par 136 on the Claremont Country Club course to turn in the day’s best score. He and the next best men in that area — Dewey Longworth with 140—withdrew, however, and the place went to Larry Brazil who shot 144.

Amateurs Make Grade

Clff Spencer, professional at the East Potomac Park Public Links course, shot a 137, three under par, over the Columbia Country ‘Club course in Washington to be the day’s second best golfer. ‘Among the top-notchers who earned places were four amateur champions—Dick Chapman, reigning champion; Bud Ward, 1939 winner; Willie Turnesa, 1938, and Creorge Von Elm, 1936 winner. Paul Funyan, 1934 and 1938 P. G. A. champion and winner of this year’s Goodall Tournament, got: under the wire nicely with a 145 that put him fourth in the New York district. ‘Originally, the starting field was to. .have numbered 170, but the U. 8. G. A. increased it to 173 yésterday to give places to a pair of Brazilian amateurs—Mario Gonzalez and Dr. Walter C. Ratto. They were supposed to have played in the New York qualifying rounds, but their boat from Rio De Janeiro was delayed and the U. S. G. A. exlempted them.

42 Exempted

The rest of the field is made up of 42 exempted players, including the 33 low men last year at Cleveland, eight former champions, and the home professional at Colonial— Bob Byrnes. Among the qualifiers, listed by sections, were: Cincinnati—Bill Kaiser, 146; Clay Gaddie, 149. St. Louis—Eddie Held, 140; A. James Black, 142; John J. Manion,

Clinton’s Three-I Leaders Falter

. By UNITED PRESS Clinton lost a chance to strengthén its grip on first place last night, bowing meekly before the slants of Evansville pitcher, Donovan, . and the Indiana club’s well-timed attack, 9 to 1. Closely trailing Springfield was idle at Madison because of rain. Cedar Rapids found the range against the Moline Plowboys, letting loose a savage attack of 21 hits to humble thejr opponents 12 to 2. Gehrke reigned on the hill for the Raiders and held the Plowboys to six hits. Waterloo trimmed the Decatur Commies, 7 to 3, blending a ninehit attack with good hurling by Weiland and Struss. The White Hawks clinched the game with a four-run splurge in the fifth, and stopped a ninth inning Decatur rally at three runs.

The No. 1 member, as far as records go, is Wilbur Shaw, thrice winner of the race. Shaw became a member in 1933 when he fulfilled the membership requirements by driving the entire race without relief at better than 100 miles an hour. Only once since then—in 1934—has he dropped below the century figure. His best speed was in 1938 when he averaged 115.580. Ted Horn is another with an impressive record. Since 1936 he has driven every race at more than 100 miles an hour, topping this four-year performance with a speed of 113.434 in 1937. Madri Rose exceeded 100 in 1934, °36, 39 and 40 and produced an average of 113.572 last year. Since 1935 Chet Miller has gone the distance five times at three-figure speeds.
