DeMar as a great marathon existed is wiped out by his record- smashing victory yesterday- in -the thirty-first annual classic of the Boston Athlete association. Spread-Eagles The Field. Spread-eagling his field, the greatest ever assembled for the historic event.

DeMar clipped more than tliree minutes from his own course record, scored his sixth triumph since 1911, gained the national championship along with it and clinched his place on the Olympic U-am for 1928 beyond the palest shadow of a doubt. Tis time was 4-5. I But somehow or other this was evDected of DeMar. The lean. bright-eyed little typesetter of Melrose has won this gruelling Jaunt from Hopkinton to Boston five times in the last seven years.

He has done about everything tht could be asked of him on this course except turn a few handsprings. These hills and dales are his precincts and his pounding feet seem ease. Ray Provides Surprise. So it was that the surprise of the race was smiling Jimmy Henigan of Dorchester who galloped up to second place with a whirlwind finish, and the sensation was gallant little Joie Ray. who overcame the terrific handicap of blistered, torn and bleeding feet to place third in the first marathon of his long career.

Ray's finish will rank among the most pulse-quickening and vivid of distance running history. There was not a shouting youngster, not an Ordinary onlooker nor a hardened critic in that vase, densely packed throng lining the course that failed to feel a tingling thrill as Joie logged down the long trail to the finish. Here was an athlete of 32 after t-Mri of comrjetition at compar atively short the-elghW-j times American mne cimmyiuii tackling the most difficult test of his career. Here was a forlorn, almost tottering little bundle of running machinery, moving ahead on sheer nerve and grit. His eyes half olosed, lips tightly pressed and his ieet burning from those last few torturing miles.

His ears were deaf to the clamor that greeted him. He lunged, slightly at the tape and then collapsed. a Had he tackled too much? Had he done the seeming impossible but over-taxed that great little running machine? Not if you ask. Joie and it was not more than an hour after his desperate finish that he was ready to sit up and tell the world he was Just beginning to run. Joie Express Confidence.

"Too much for me? I should say not My feet are sore but that to be expected. They haven't been conditioned for this kind of stuff. But I did it today. I will do better the next time and I'm there to me another month of training and I can break the record that DeMar made todav. I was less than five minutes behind him teday.

Till run next month in the Long Beach marathon from New York and I'll be over there running MavhP 111 Will and maybe I won but 1 11 give em This' was the old chesty Joie, confidence and himself again, even if a bit drawn and haggard. From an athlete who had Just accomplished one of the most amazing feats of endurance on record it didn't sound boastful. It is as if Joie has found himself again, and come back with a new ambition. That ambition is to wind up his career with an Olympic victory. "You know." he said.

"I have gone over there twice and failed. I have won a lot of races out. never mi Olympic championship. That's the one big thing I want to do. I think.

I can do It." Readr for Olympic Test If he can harden his feet to this 1 road-racing game after some 18 years on the cinder paths and boards. Joie may come through at Amsterdam. His effortless stride is ideal for the marathon gait though no more effective perhaps than the chopp strides of DeMar, the "old master." In his first race over this historic Boston course. Ray came within about a minute and a hajf of DeMar's old record. DeMar set the new mark at 2:37:07 4-5.

Henigan finished in 2:41 and Ray in 2:41:56 Ray and DeMar as well as Heni- gan, now seem virtually assured of Olympic berths as a result of their great performances. Southern Association. iiHHHia, 17. New OHean. 11.

BY GREGG University of Nebraska- football candidates celebrated the close ot spring practice Thursday afternoon with a spirited scrimmage at the Memorial stadium.

Reversing his decision of Wednesday, Coach Ernest E. Bearg lined up two squads for a 40-minute skirmish. The "Reds' Headed by Blue Howell scored a 13-0 victory over the "Whites." Howell had a big afternoon. He smashed and tore through the White line for consistent gains and broke away on one run which covered 30 vards and netted a touchdown. In addition flipped a forward pass to End Bushee for the other touchdowns and promptly placekicked the additional point.

I'se New Material. Bearg gave the new material plenty of opportunity to display its wares, a number of the regulars being on the sidelines. The fleet Sloan was absent because of minor injuries. Cen'r James and End Ashburn were busilv engaged in track, while Witte. MrBride.

Richards and Peak-er were also missing. While Coach Bearg was not inclined to show much optimism over the final workout, sideline fans were inclined to express themselves favorably toward the '28 prospects. The "Red" forward wall averaged 195 pounds rmore, while the back-field was working with plenty of zip and punch for a spring drill. Marrow Breaks Loose.
