Not only lias 11 nn tntirnatloniil atmosphere sup- -plled by entries from Enlaml, the United Slates, Italy, Germany, mil favored countries, hut ths of ivie coinpslltors threatens lo lower the outdoor record of 3:48.8.

The second flight is made up of Joe Mangnn, ex-Cornell ace; Archie San Homanl of KnnsflS Slate Teachers, national collegiate mile champion In 1835-36, recently lias been overlooked by most of the-experts; and Glenn Dawson, of Tiilsa. Cunningham's pace judgment was very faulty in the Indoor campaigns last winter, and lor that reason he looked at the spikes of Vcnzke and Mangan repeatedly ivmt, and the fact that he wasn't in.

However, you have It direct from Larson Robertson, Olympic track coach, that Glenn Is, capable of running a faster quarter and half In a mile nice t'naii any other speedster In the country; and that improvement In his pace Judgment and condition will bring him into the Olympic trials as the fellow to beat at 1500, meters.

Dark Horse Has Chance Tre little fellow, San Romani has what It takes to become a winning dark hotte.

Just how good he Is can be gauged by comparing him with Don Lash, the Hoosier spccdslcr who has given up mile competition in favor of distance, events after breaking paavo Nur- tnl's record In the recent Princeton Invitational. Jn nojjianl's intercollegiate races tills year, he faced Lnsh every time, and defeated tho Bloominglolt boy. In Ihe distance medley of the Kan sas relays, Archie and Don ran shoulder to shoulder until the last 300 yards, when the former started a sensational sprint and won. in the U'annamnker mile In the Garden, Archie finished fourth, ahead of Lash nnd Norman Bright, In the recent.
