Roland Locke of Nebraska tied the world's record of 9.6 sec onds in the finals of the 100 yard dash, Keane of Crelghton University by little more than a yard.

His best effort was 13 feet, 4 The bar was raised to 13 feet, 3 inches, but the Norwegian star failed to clear it In three trials. Hoff refused to permit motion picfure camera men to record his performance and it was only after officials of the relays prevailed upon the movie men to take down their that he touched his bamboo.

The University of Iowa set up a new meet record of 1 minute, 20 seconds In winning the one mile relay for the third straight year, taking posession of the Dr. Joha Outland cup.

Coach Floyd Gautsch's Lincoln high cinder artists galloped off with the first annual Greater Lincoln track and field honors at the Red and Black oval Saturday afternoon with 81 markers chalked up to their credit The- winners accounted for an even eight firsts. Havelock grabbed off second money with 45 tallies due largely to the efforts of George Miller, who was individual high point man of the carnival with 16 markers.

George Warga, another Shoptown Bee, was Miller's closest rival with firsts in 100 yard dash, 220 low-hurdles a second in the high hurdles and a fourth in the broad jump, all of which scored 14 tallies. Deefenderfer, giant Wesleyan Prepster, made a fine showing in the javelin? hQrllng the stick for a of 150 feet, 10 1-2 Inches. The big fellow cleared 153 feet on one throw but stepped over the line.

The half mile relay proved to bo most thrilling of the dash ovents with Havelock nosing out Lincoln a few feet from the tape. Hreck's speed was a potent factor in the triumph altho Miller, as anchor man set the pace on the home btreteh. One of the early upsets came -when George Warga nosed out his leummate, Miller in the century. Miller was a decided favorite while 'i'omaon of, Lincoln was the choice for second place.

Warga also took first in the low hurdles with little effort. A stiff north wind that took possession of the field during most of the afternoon prevented faster time in the sprints. The Javelin and discus were also hurled against the wind. Etherton, Red and Black distance cliark showed fine form in the mile, winning handily with a 4:59 2-5 wark.

COLUMBUS, April 17. (Jf) Honors were widely scattered In the annual Ohio relays today at the Ohio university stdlum. Upwards of a dozen meet records werebroken In thlrty-slxnajor event.

Illinois and Michigan each scored four firsts in the university division, Ohio State and Wisconsin two. In the college division, Ohio Wesleyan, Michigan State Normal and Michigan State college athletes were outstanding. Among class A high schools, Urhana, 111., athletes attracted chief attention. Urbana sprinters captured two events and St. Johns Military Academy of Wisconsin took another of the nine in that division.

Interest centered In the two hurdle races, the 120-yard high and 220 low in the university division. Captain George (Phin) uthrle, Ohio State captain and 'national hurdlo champion, and Werner, Illinois captain, and Guthrie's opponent In numerous hurdle races in the last two years were the principal contestants. Guthrie won both and in the high hurdles set a meet record of 15 seconds flat, bettering his former mark by 2-10 seconds.

(Journal Sports Editor.) The Reds piled up three earned touchdowns In the last spring grid skirmish of the season Saturday while the Blues put over one counter.

The Blues, a so-called team had been spotted twenty points to start the fray, which, added to their one touchdown, made the score read 27 to 19. The Reds missed two trials at extra points A good-sized crowd of spectators was in the stadium wnen Kereree Owen Grank piped the starting blast. In the first quarter John (Jug) Brown, last year's quarterback who has been switched to halfback, furnished the thrill when he got away for a 68-yard run. The former Lincoln high athlete sidestepped, changed his pace arid whirled to get over the distance, leaving in his wake a string of mortified youths who were certain they had him when they lunged. Marrow Counts Six For Five.

Wally Marrow, Omaha, counted for the Blues in the last quarter. The sidellners claimed there was more in it than satisfaction for Wally. He believed in his outfit sufficiently to put a $5 bill on its nose to score, they confided. Blue Howell pile driving back for the Reds, Vas slow in getting started. He was pounding the line In oldtime fashion but not until the second half did he pick up substantial yardage.

It was Blue who crashed center for five and eight yard gains that netted the their last two touchdowns. As the two teams started, Coach Bearg admitted there wasn't a great deal of difference.

The Scarlet and Cream scored first in the Kansas relays here today when Ed Weir took second in the finals of the high hurdles after winning his preliminary heat. Weir and Tannerof Occidental ran almost neck and neck thru the entire race, with the Callfornian slightly in the lead after the first barrier. -The big Husker crept up a bit but not enough to win.

Mc- Kensie or jjoane conege iosi out with a third in the preliminaries. In the 2-mile relay the Nebraska quartet placed third with Northwestern first and Kansas Aggies second. The time of 7 minutes 66.4 seconds was slightly slower than the old record. Lewis, the Husker lead-off man was off form after a week with a bad cold and lost more ground than the other three could" make up. Ross and Roberts held their own and Johnson made a valiant effort to make up the distance' but overran his race.

Captain Roland "Gipp" I)ck won the open hundred with thres yards to spare over Dellamaria of NTntrs TamA anilnllinc Iha vnrlrf record of 9.6 seconds. The time besides making a new relay and world mark betters the Nebraska varsity record by one-tenth of a second. The Scarlet streak leaped into the lead at the start and increased his margin all along tha route. Keana of Crelghton Third. "Sas" Keane, Crelghton sprinter placed a close third.

All of Doane college placed third in the preliminaries but did not qualify. The record by Locke was recognized, as the wind did not aid him. "Ox" Kriemelmeyer, the Cornhusker weight man took third with John Kuok of Emporia State teachers college first In a new Kansas relays record. Kuck's distance was 49 feet 21-2 inches. Reinfort of Grlnnell took second.

Kremelmeyer heaved the lead 44 feet 2 3-8 inches. Kansas won the 440-yard relay equaling the record of last year. On the first touch-off the Nebraska sprint crw duplicated their performance of last year at the Drak meet, dropping the baton. In -the pa ss, Hein to Dailey, Dalley dropped the stick. Again on the last touch-off, tho hopelessly behind, Davenport stumbled and fell after attempting to pass to Locke.

whole affair took on the as of hard luck as the Ne- braskans were doped as possible winners. Doane college placed third in the second heat of the college section, but were not, fast enough to place In the finals. Alf was responsible for the Doane place In the heat. Husker in New World Mark.

If) Training of derby prospects has begun in earnest on Kentucky tracks.

The rain, the slop and the cold which have had trainers here "pawing the ground" while their charges loafed, have rapidly disappeared under the warming influence of an April sun and many ot the candidates have been given "openers" this week. This time last year, horses were stepping a mile in around 1:40, but until a few days ago not at single derby eligible in training here had done three-quarters in better than 1:17 and derby day, May IS, is only four weeks off. Improved weather and track conditions at Lexington, however, enabled trainers to put their charges thru stiff workouts at the Kentucky association course. Altho no startling time records were hung up, several of the eligible performed satisfactorily and the coming week Is expected to see some real tuning up. The arrivals here of Carlarls, W.

T. Anderson's imported colt from Tijuana, where he won the Tijuana derby and the Coffroth stake, enriching his owner something like $100,000, added considerable interest to the coming classic. Carlarls is the favorite right now, partly because of his sterling performances on the lower California track and partly because of bfs tranquil disposition. GAMES TODAY. Western las-ss.
