OLLEGE HATTER ART CARLSON A Second PaddockT Charley Borah Is only a freshman at Southern California, But he's one of the most promising of tho younger crop of 8prlntors. Borah Is the chap who all but beat Charley Paddock when the latter was clocked over the 100 in the record-smashing time of 0.5. Paddock's famous "Jump finish" alone saved tho "fastest human" from defeat. With three years of varsity competition ahead, Borah stands a splendid chance of turning tho event in faster time than even the Paddocks, Drews and Kellys did before him. AVatch this fellow!

Meanwhile meter run and lho hurdles countless star welghtmen have en- ut 8t Louls He set "cords In each deavorcd to excel Rose's performance without success. During the last year, however, Houser, Hartrnnft and ICuck have appeared on the scene. And, If any athlete Is capable of bettering the one-time Mlchlgander's mark, one of these birds stands out as a good bet.

Houser, Hartcranft and Kuck have all passed the 60-foot figure, so It wouldn't be surprising should one of the three blast his way that withstood the four-year assaults until 1924. Hlllman Is now coaching track and field aspirants at Dartmouth and doing well with the material available, One of the feature events of the waning outdoor track and field season In college circles will bring together Dye, Grumbles, Guthrle, Cuhel, Wolf and a few others of their church hero underwent an operation nt clght-oared shell, coached by the at the Missouri Baptist Sanitarium yesterday morning.
