TEN NEW world’s records in track events were established yesterday in the Butler Bowl. I established the records and I'm happy to re-

port that I feel fine except for my left big toe.

It's sore. When the full import of my tremendous effort hits sports enthusiasts throughout the world, 1 wouldn't be a bit surprised to find a great many people knocked on their respective ears. It's unfortunate thdt I have to report my own achievements in the decathlon but there was no other alternative. laughed when I mentioned the decathlon. I'm laughing. Oh, yes, any resemblance to the events in which Bob Mathias, the California boy who won the decathlon in the 1948 OJympics, is purely coincidental. My records ‘in no way will interfere with his or at least they shouldn't. Tony Hinkle, Butler University athletic director, was my head timekeeper and scorer. Herb

| Just Don't See...

IF ANYONE can throw disparaging remarks at my world's records after such a distinguished trio has put the stamp of approval on them—well, I don't know what to say. I don’t see how the records can be disputed. For those who are just a wee bit hazy as to what the decathlon involves, I'll explain. The decathlon includes these 10 events: Shot put, discus throw; javelin throw; broad jump; pole vault; 100 meter run; 400 meter run; 1500 meter run and the 110 meter hurdle. That's no snap. Coach Hinkle was leary of my purpose at first but after I established a new world's record in the shotput (cream puff) heave, he warmed up to the Butler Bowl decathlon. Mr. Schwomeyer announced shortly after the cream puff landed: “New world's record for the puffput is 49.9 feet.” Everyone was jubilant and excited after that. They, as I, had a feeling that the puffput was just

record for cream puff throwing that betters my mark.) The next event was the discus (lemon cream pie) throw. What a mess after it landed. Mr. McElfresh was bitter. Lemon cream pie happens to be his favorite and I only brought one. I was that confident that a new world’s record could be set. . “The new world's record for the lemon pie throw is 42.7 feet,” shouted Mr. Schwomeyer. He was a picture of excitement. So was I, as a matter of fact. The new world’s record for a backward broad jump was 5 feet 8!5 inches. I could practically hear the ovation if the Butler Bowl had been packed. Stepping up to the firing line, I calmly threw the javelin (broom) 31 feet, 11 inches. Another record. My three friends shook their heads as I prepared for the high jump, backwards. No doubt they felt a little concerned that I was exerting so much effort. I cleared 38 inches, a world's record, naturally, for a backward high jump.

Two Indianapolis’ Seminarians | Fill Roles in Cast at Abbey | ad

TWO SEMINARIANS from Indianapolis will take part in the play, “Martyr Campion,” to be presented next Sunday and Apr. 3 at 2 p. m. at St. Meinrad’s Abbey, 8t, Meinrad, Ind, Kenny Sweeney who portrays Robert Persons, 8. J., and Lawrence Moran who portrays John Paschal, both hail from Indianapolis. All members of the cast are major seminarians. : “Martyr Campion” gives the story of Edmund Campion who died courageously on the headsman’'s block. The martyr's days at Oxford and the details of how he first renounced the church and then in humility returned to it are graphically shown. Later, became known as ‘‘the Blessed Edmund Campion.” . LJ ” u » " ” TO GIVE the atmosphere of the times, the trial is repeated according to the records of the day on which it occurred. In the play, Campion repeats the actual words he said long ago when sentenced. } Elizabeth, in curly wig and brocaded garments, impersonated by Patrick Creed of Louisville, reveals a-scheming, wicked mind, ruthless in planning her course ’ Other characters who appear are William Shakespeare, Rober Lord Dudley, Sir Philip 8idney, Thomas Pounde, Cardinal Allen, director of Catholic seminarians who escaped to England, and Stephen Sledd, Campion’s betrayer. The play, with its theme of evil deeds followed by repentence, betrayal and deat for a righteous rause was chosen.as a reflection af the Lenten spirit. Francis H. Smith, Major Seminary, St.

Lawrence Moran of Indianapolis, playing the part of John Paschal, receives the favor of Queen Elizabeth (Patrick Creed) in the Lenten play at St, Meinrad's Abbey. Kenny Sweeney of Indianapolis,

NEW YORK, Mar, 23—I would never, never accuse the sports business of being cultured up and supervised to the point of sissiness, but it sure has gotten refined in the last few years. Rocky Graziano was the last rugged individualist I remember, lately, and they legislated him loose from major operation, It seems mandatory that everybody in the sports world be a gentleman, today, or they will run him right out of the racket. This goes for prize fighters as well as tennis bums, not to mention ballplayers. I make no point in favor of

~*hoodlumism as an adjunct to muscles, but I could

never see that parlor deportment made any difference to the application of violent skill. I have known some ballplayers who never hit so well as with a hangover, and a few fighters who practiced tee shots off the chins of their ever-loving brides. But even in my comparatively recent span things were beginning to get effete. I never knew any fighter like old Chuck Wiggins, who is dead now,

Keener of Mr. Chuck Wiggins

ALL this came up not long ago when I bumped into Master Ray Alvis down in Washington. Master Alvis is a mellowed manager of gladiators and a high-rolling top-talker of the vintage of Dempsey and Doc Kearns. Ray was the keeper of Mr. Wiggins, who was a saber-toothed tiger straight out of Indianapolis. Mr. Wiggins had one great delusion. He thought he could whip any 10 men that lived, and especially cops. : ; This delusion was not aided by the fact that Chuck couldn't punch his way through a swinging door, but he never realized it. He delighted in summoning half-a-dozen policemen to help him frolic, and he thrived on nightsticks. Mr. Wiggins also had another deplorable habit. He dearly loved to drink whisky, and he fancied himself a ladies-man. These foibles kept Mr. Alvis dancing, because at the time, Mr. Alvis, being much younger, had troubles of his own in the firewater and fluff department.

Chuck Took on All Comers, Even Police

Chuck Wiggins was probably Indiana's most colorful fighter, taking on all comers. He was born in Hancock County but spent most of his time in In-

WASHINGTON, Mar, 23—I'm beginning to feel

‘a little better about the chances of getting shot

Tain't likely, according to a fellow I'm pretty sure 1 can believe, The trouble here lately has been some of the big brass sounding aff ,.on and off the record, about the dangers of a" war with the Commies. The generals and the admirals have been asking Congress for more soldiers and more money and more flying machines. Sometimes they've talked out in the open and sometimes in secret session. It got so bad that every time a charge of dynamite went off in the quarry down the pike, I'd jump.

Army Can’t Use Him

GEN. BRADLEY didn't think war was in the works, but he said it pays to take no chances. At the moment he's got too many soldiers. He may even have to fire a few to get his Army down to peacetime size. And any youngster (though the General didn't say so in so m&ry words) who's worrying about being drafted may as well cut it out. The Army can't use him now.
