Sunday Morning, June 7, 1938 THE A31LENE MORNING REPORTER-NEWS PAGE FIVE WALLENDER BETTERS OLYMPIC METER Hardin-Simmons Athlete Slings Javelin 210 Feet 8 1-2 Inches in Gulf AAU Tryouts By The Press HOUSTON, June 6. HarvcF (Chink) Wallender, sensational University of Texas sprinter, bettered the Olympic record in the 200 meters here this afternoon in the gulf A. A. U. and Olympic tryouts track and field meet.

Running the event under.Olympic regulations which specifies that the race must be run around at least one jcurve, Wallender was clocked in 21.1 Pffconds which is one-tenth second faster than the record made by Eddie Tolan of the United States in the 1932 Olympics at Los Angeles. The world's record for the 200 meters is 2C.6 seconds made by R. A. Locke on May 1, 1926, and equalled by Ralph Metcalfe seven years later. Wallender also captured the 100 meter event today in 10.6 seconds for a new gulf A.

A. U. mark. Roland Romero of Welsh, the American amateur champion in the hop, step and jump, bested his own record in that event by leaping 50 feet 83-4 inches. His previous high mark was 50 feet, 4 7-8 inches made In 1935.

Only Two Tea-ma Only two teams were entered-the Texas Centennials, made up of University of Texas and North Texas State Teachers college stars, and the San Jacinto Athletic club. David Weichert, Southwest conference record holder in the pole vault cleared the bar at 13 feet 9 inches, to defeat Beefus Bryan of Schreiner Institute and Joe Balch of San Jacinto. Billy Roy, stellar vaulter from New Orleans, who has vaulted better than 14 feet this year was not here for the meet. Weich- crt's vault was a new Gulf record. Alton Terry of Hardin-Sim- mcns, threw the javelin further than any athlete in Houston this season when he made a toss of 210 feet 8 1-2 inches for another new record.

Jack Vickery of the University of xas was better today than he was several weeks ago as he blasted the Southwest conference high jump record. Vickery made a jump of 6 SKIPPERS CONTINUE TO WIN AGAINST TULSA OILERS, 5-1 San Antonio Galveston Turn in Missions And BUGS Also Victories By The Associated BEAUMONT, June McLaughlin displayed his 1935 winning form here this afternon as he humbled the Tulsa Oilers, 5 to 1, in the first game of the series.

DALLAS-- A A Golfing Gossip From 19th Hole By the Bogey Shooter Well, customers, most of our information is gathered by keeping our ears open our eyes shut, and guessing at the rest. Some of it is brought in by trusted individuals who retail it on to us, where we sift the slices and hooks from the straight shots, and pass the cream on to you.

By this time, you have heretofore read one or two of our columns, you will know that the stuff you see here can be depended on. We like to run contests, judge baby shows, kiss eood-looking girls, and try and guess who will win various events. Right now, we have in mind starting an essay contest, on the subject "WHY A with all entries to be in English, Greek or the original Hebrew, as these are the only languages (except profane) with which we have a passing acquaintance. All essays shall be limited to 25 words, and a committee composed of the M-G-M Lion, Harpo Mark and Sand-trap Smith of Jones county, will pass on the merits (if any) of such essays. 'Hole-out' Hodge of Anson, will stand by as alternate judge.

Prizes will consist, among ether things, of free swimming tickets to the Gulf of Mexico, ten slightly worn Calcutta tickets left over from last year, and your choice of any one of three divots knocked out of No. 17 tee recently by Bill Minter, when qualifying. All entries must reach our office not later than 4 G. M. come next Michealmas.

By diligent searching of the records, we have dug up and past on for your inspection, more "forgotten is, H. W. Weldon, Louis Mont- sornery, L. C. Hoffman, E.

Sharpe, Al Shs-han, Phil Rinehart, Dr. Cyrus N. Kay, W. Willis ox and Matthews Blanton. these boys probably have a rood reason for quitting, but reasons escape our memory now, and we should like for our readers to help us out with this information.

Suitable prizes will be awarded at the next session of the 19th Hole Club, following receipt of information. Mor.t.n Ti.rr.tn. York. i 1 3 2 1 2 1 1 3 1 0 2 2 t) (5 1 11 1 i 2 Comes to our notice now, an invitation to the Lakeview Golf Club tournament, at Hamlin, to be held June 14th to 21st. At first we thought this was a seven day tournament, but after reading it closely, we see that four days are allowed in which to qualify and three days for match play.

This appears to us at this distance to be a good idea. While we haven't seen this excellent nine hole course, we understand that it is really in good shape now, there being good grass on the fairways and plenty of whitewash on the trees. Sand greens are the thing here. We would think the whitewashed trees a good idea, either for day or night golf. We hope that Maurice Smith or Judge Gerald Morgan will write us some inside news about this meet, so that we may pass it on to our many readers.

This is the third annual invitational of the Hamlin club, and they should know how to put on a real tournament, with a classy field. Lots of luck to them. Local Abilene golfers will be glad to know that J. Campbell Jones Is again playing: at the country club. 'Cam' for sometime was cnjoyinjr poor health, but when he showed up at the club this week and turned in a 78 for the first time around, those on the inside knew that Cam had not only regained his health, but that his old-time hook was still working.

You guys that think he is fruit had better not make any foolish bets, or else it will be another case of "blow off on the first tee and pay off on the last." We are trying to compile en official record for low scores on separate holes at the country club course, and we call on the public, in A spirit of co-operation to help us out. Our memory only serves us this far. As we remember them on the first nine, the present low scores for each hole are as follows: (Remember we are only playing ihe first nine this week): Hole, par, player and score: No, 1 par 4--Budley Raines 3: Rusty Crownover Carnes Wilson 3. (This seems to be a tie.) No. 2, par 3--Holes-irone by Dallas Scarborough, Rupert Harkrider.

Lee Henry, W. D. Girand, G. C. McDonald.

(This score will probably stand for some time.) 3, par 5--Babe Didrikson Bob Byrnes Shanty Hogan and many others. (Has anybody made a 2 here?) No. 4. par 3--Gordon Young hole- in-one. (This stands alone, so far as we know).

No. 5, par 4--Johnny Pennell somebody eise whose name we can't remember, 2. (Help us, out, will you?) No. 6, par 5--Quite a bunch of three's here, but I don't remember any of them except the one I made. PEAKING OF SPORTS By HAL SAYLES I town yesterday pumping hands' with old friends P.

E. Shotwell, the grand little fellow who coached Abilene high to its first state championship back in 1923. "Shot," who has been turning: out successful high school and college teams for the past twenty years, starts his second season at the helm in Longview next autumn. En routs to Abilene Shofcwell detoured by way of Canyon where, the West Texas State Teachers college coaching school is underway. He took one look at the Amarillo Golden Sandies in a scrimmage demonstration Friday night and thanked his lucky stars that his competition probably would be limited to East Texas grid teams.

"Why that bunch of Blair Cherry's is the biggest high school club I ever saw," Shotwell declared. He looked up at his strapping assistant coach, Buck Osbum, former Abilene high and McMurry star, and said, "Buck, they've got four men in the line and a couple in the backfield as large as you." Now Mr. Osburn is no dwarf, weighing around 185 pounds. And Shot's statement that it's the biggest line he ever saw takes in lots of territory. So the boys started pinning him down.

How about the Abilene line in 1920? If you don't recall, that club included such behemoths as Shackelford, GOBS, Gentry and Hembree. Or, what about Abilene's Elephants of 1927? Such a roll call would bring up the names of Salkeld, Black, Baker and Burger. Shot stood his ground, waving aside the questions. Those Amarillo boys are the BIGGEST he countered. Great Record During the first four years of the interscholastic league, 1920 through 1923, the Shotwell coached Abilen- ian and Paul Tyson's Waco Tigers dominated state high school loot- ball.

Abilene lost three games to four years, advancing to the semi-finals in 1920 and 1921, losing to Waco- 13-10 in the 1922 final and beating Waco 3-0 for the title In 1623. Shotwell resigned at the end of the 1923 campaign to take over the coaching reins at Hardin-Simmons for two terms. He was at Sul Ross in 1926 and returned to high school coaching in 1927 at Breckenridge. Shotwell taught the Buckles how to play football for eight years before accepting the job at Longview. RIGHTEST bit of news to reach this department on yesterday's hot and sultry afternoon came out of Lubbock, where Collier Parrls scribbles the doings in an athletic way for the Plains folk.

Collier tells of a generous move on the part of Wcldon Chapman, the Lubbock high mentor, to help the working boys in the press box as well as the paying TRIPLE BILL K-P, WOW and Western States Winners in Saturday Tilts Knights of Pythias, W. O. W. and Western States -were -winners in softball games at Sportsman field last night. K-P picked up five runs in the second and seven in the fourth to defeat Pepsi Cola, 12-2, in the opener.

McAdams of the lodgemen collected a triple and single in three trips to the plate to lead the batting spree. Button's homer with two runners on the paths helped in the big fourth inning rally. W. O. W.

downed Overstreet, 6-7, with Coates' three singles leading the offensive for the winners. Western States plugged out a 7-2 victory over Dr. Pepper in the aftermath. Windham and Morgan picked up two hits each for the Grocers, sharing batting honors with Boyd, who hit a home run. Osbum and Watts hit safely twice for the Bottlers.

The line scores: customers at the Westerners' games next fall. Chapman has adopted systematic numbering for his team's jersles. We'll let Collier tell you about it (he helped Chapman figure it out) "Players will be numbered according to position, but not like baseball, from one to nine. It was decided that double digit numbers were easier to identify thin single digits. "All you have to remember when you see the Westerners trot out next fall is this: Members of the regular team, first team, will wear numbers beginning with the figure second team members will be numbered beginning with 3, and third stringers will be marked with figures beginning with players on the left sida of the line, including left wingbacks, will wear numbers the second digit of which will be an even number; right side players will wear odd numbers.

center always will be distinguished by a number ending in zero. Tailback Is No. 77 "Now to get down to details. You are remembering your mathematics and calling attention to the fact that eleven players make up a team, and there are only ten double digit numbers beginning with "2." Very well, we have used up the numbers, 20 through 29, and have numbered only ten players. The No.

1 man in the backfield, in the Warner system used by Chapman, is the tailback, corresponding to the fullback in orthodox names. He is the most important man in the backfield. So he is further distinguished by a definite number. The fullback on the first team will be 77. on the second 88.

and on the third 99." BRADSHAW HERE Western Produce company's baseball team will play Bradshaw this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock on the diamond at South 16th and Oak streets. Slim Morris will hurl for the locals. ROPER- (Continued Prom Page 1) President Garner make one of the most effective combinations of leadership I have witnessed in Washington in my 40 years of observation. They combine vision to see, courage to act, human sympathy for others--characteristics most necessary to meet and solve the problems of our times in the interest of all and with special privileges to none. "I feel certain I voice the feelings of every American when I congratulate Texas upon 100 years of outstanding achievement and growth.

Texas brought into the nation a history of its own, short in time. rich in achievement. "Since her colonization, Texas has given allegiance to six flags. For ten years this state, as a republic, maintained a separate national life. You have passed through a century filled with hardships and trials, but one which has given the people of the Southwest an opportunity to display that American courage and spirit which has made possible our growth as a nation." Exposition Symbolical This exposition, he said, carries for our entire country a.

highly significant and symbolical lesson. It is a translation of past achievements in terms of progress for the future. Historically, cMcally, Industrially and socially it represents the application of the essence of the achievements of a great commonwealth to the broader and more complex problems of a new era. Roper extended greetings of President Roosevelt to the thousands of Texans and out-of-state visitors attending the opening ceremonies, adding that the chief executive's interest in the exposition was 50 great he planned to visit in in person next week. tenru'al officials reported, was 114,444.
