Twelve years 1 Sande was a pupil of range riding under Doc Pardee on a ranch near Prescott and to 1917 rode In fair grounds races In Phoenix Phoenix. before starting his career In New guest in his latest stay here. lW i i LOWRY'S RABBIT PUNCHES (Continued from First Page) which had weeds on It, so It's easy to appreciate that his record was a real one. It went into the discard when he was professionalised on a minor charge, and Dan Kelly of Spokane claimed, the record in 1905 when he equaled Duffy's mark at Port-land. However, Kelly never came anywhere near this speed at other times in his career, and he never1 gained the out-standing recognition that Duffy did.

Duffy toured the world, annexed the championships of New Zealand and England, and demonstrated that he was a real champion of champions as a sprinter the forerunner of the Drews, the Paddocks, the Borahs and others. They took him for a "ride," otherwise the East might never have heard of Jimmy McLarnin. By "they" is meant Pop Foster, the boy's manager, and Dan Thomas, who la a friend of Pop's and has instructed the kid In many of his cute ring tricks. Dan is a boxing manager now, but as I culled the story he taught the kid a lot of the stuff he revealed when he first broke In here back In 1924. And It was Dan and Pop who had to put their noodles together to drag Jimmy eastward.

The kid didn't want to go. He was heartbroken over the criticism he received after several indifferent fights here last spring. He wanted to retire from the ring. So Pop and Dan put. their heads together, and they decided the only thing to do was to take Jimmy for a "ride." So after breakfast one morning Pop got Jimmy in the latter's automobile and they started out to see the country.

They wound up at Chicago, and Pop made a fast beat to Jim Mullen's office. Kid Kaplan billed lo fight for the Chicago promoter, but his opponent fell by the vayside and McLarnin Wat substituted. The rest is history, McLarnin knocked out Kaplan, and made a terrific hit in the Windy City. Then he beat another classy boy in Billy Wallace, and ten days ago he knocked out Sid Terris in a round. The KiT made.

He's in line for a huge wad lof dough and a thot at the lightweight champion, Sammy Man-dell. And all because he took a "ride." CARDS FAVORED TO TAKE MEET Dink Templetons Squad Has Tremendous Power Strength in Weights to Win for Collegians L.A.A.C. Team Looks Su-peri or in Track Events BY PR AVER DVER Coach Boyd Comstock will take his strong Los Angeles Athletic Club track team north this week to meet St An- fort's equally powerful squad at Palo Alto Saturday afternoon. Two years ago the Mercuries won from the Cards, while last season Dink Tem-pleton's charges were victorious. Next Saturday's meet will probably furnish the hottest comietition and best marks of Chartey Paactock any dual engagement on the Pacific Coast this season.

Stan- lord has just as as the 1927 outfit strong a team which won the I.C.4-A. chnmpionshlp. L.A.A.C. strengthened by the addition of former Hollywood A C. competitors, has the most powerful team In the club's history.

STRONG IS SPRINTS Charley Paddock and Hugh Pin-ney or Murray Schultz should finish first and second In the two sprints. Lauritzen of Stanford has been credited with 10 flat this year and may surprise Plnney and Schultz, but on the other hand would not be much of a shock to see the three club da-sh artists take all nine points in each race. Capt. Bui Spencer of the Redshirts niust be favored in the 440, although he is likely to have quite a race on his hands for Comstork plans to run Percy Niersbach against the Stanford leader. Niersbarh's regular race is the half-mile, but Stanford Is not particularly strong in this event and Comstock already has three good men In Atwood Scnvrll.

Harold Irfivejoy and Kjeld Schmidt, ail three of whom can cut under even time. The mile will feature Nick Carter i gainst Alex 'MeKinnon, with the former a heavy lavonte to win. There is no miler on the Coast capable of beating Nick unless it be his Henry Lunney, and Lunney will probably run the two-mile against Stanford. Coe of the Redshirts ran a brilliant race in 8m. recently so Lunney will have to be on his mettle over the long distance.

HURDLES IN DOUBT The outcome of the meet may depend on how the hurdle races go. Stanford has two brilliant timber-toppers in Ross Nichols and Clarence West. Nichols is best in the highs and West shines in the lows. They both run the two races. Nichols does 14 while West hovers around 21s.

A correspondent who dislikes to have Gene Tunney referred to as the "Fighting Marine" writes In to say that he has looked up Gene's war record, and that Gene arrived In France thirty days before the war ended. The correspondent adds the following: "Klnda short count." Granting that Gene was to France hardly long enough to do any fighting It Is interesting to read the official record, which runs in part as follows: "He was assigned athletic duties with the Eleventh Regiment and represented the Marines in the boxing contests with the Army and Navy. He was discharged on July 29, 1919, at the Marine Barracks, Quantlco, as a private, with character excellent, and was awarded a good-conduct medal.

When Mr. Tunney enlisted he weighed 170 pounds, was 0 feet tall; blues eyes, light brown hair and ruddy complexion." "Say, I hear there's a fight between Dud Taylor nad Ignacin Fernandez at the Olumpic next Tuesday night, but I haOen'l teen anything in the papers about it. Haw come?" It was the querulous Voice of Mr. Eddie Long talking. Mr.

Long had been in the hospital three days, and he was pained to think that his boy Dud, who is the bantamweight champion, has rece'wed little or no notice in the daily prints recently, Mr, Long hopes tlial the situation will not continue, and he says he will convalesce much more rapidly if he reads something about his boy and Ignacio during the next fete days. RY THE iAtfJOCBATT 3rSlADEJl, HILL HFMfOf iii'n'ti fr rua an STRATING with C. C. Pyle'a heel-and-toe steeplechase which is scheduled to start from Ascot Speedway this afternoon, there is an imposing program of sport all lined up for the coming week. It looks as though the entertainment would commence with a loud splash if the weatherman continues to misbehave.

Bro. Pyle's 300 odd (Yes we mean that) competitors In the transcontinental stroll will draw a long breath and dive off the grand stand today hoping, either by means of a good strong crawl stroke or a set of water wings, to dock overnight at Puente. Life guards will be stationed en route. They will come in handy In rase any of the boys sink over their ears In a puddle or to work on Mr. Pyle himself if the gate receipts are rotten.

Tomorrow the first Intercollegiate intersectional basketball soiree will be held In the Olympic when the Southern California Trojans, representing the California State division of the Pacific Coast Conference, tangle with the Washington Husaies, title-holders in the Northwest, The Trojans started out like a house afire, but haven't been going so well of late and the Huskies, with sad recollections of what happened the first week In December at the Coliseum, are hoping to accumulate something in the way of revenge. The Trojans are no push-over for anybody and If they get going, as they have at times, they have a good chance of winning. Of course, daring the week there are the customary exhibitions of fisticuffing at the Olympic, Pasadena, Culver City, Hollywood, Ocean Park and other points too numerous to mention. For those who don't like to see the boys get hit, but who prefer the more refined methods of legalized assault and battery, there is the menu of grappling provided by Chef Daro for the hungry wrestling fans who haven't seen a bout for a month. Some fo'ks have been unkind enough to say that the wrestling fans haven't seen a real match since Joe Stecher was double-crossed by Jawn Pesek.

During the latter part of the week the tennis fans get the diet of Ice cream and cake which invariably opens the local season at the Hotel Huntington at Pasadena. Steve Royce has persuaded Helen Wills and Bill Johnston to venture down here from the north to do their stuff in his tournament and that means a lot of excitement. Helen Wills is a big drawing card, particularly when she will be seen against such players as Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, Helen Jacobs. Midge Gladman and Marion Williams.

And at the end of the week, while the star contest takes place 400 miles away, there will be positive cases of strangulation from excitement among the track and field fans over the fracas at Palo Alto between Boyd Comstock's menagerie of track and field demons from the Los Angeles Athletic Club and Dink Templeton's trained troupers from Stanford Imi-versity. That Is one track meet that promises to be worth the trip for anybody.

Ketchum Only Loss to Workt. for 1929 Season Linthicum Looms as Prospect at Forward Berth Strong Guards Feature U.C.L.A. Cage Squad A post-mortem over the U.C.L.A. basketball team would indicate a great arising for the 1929 season when Coach Caddy Works will have every regular back from this year with the single exception of ex-Capt. Jack Ketchum.

Dick Linthicum, frosh star, looms as the closest competl-t for Ket-chum's Job, although he will have stiff com- petitpion from Erwin Piper and Carl Shy, juniors. With a fine array of guards, Capfc, Sammv Ealter may be shifted bitc to forward opposite Larry Wild although he played brilliantly afl running guard during the past sca son. i Linthicum was an all-city for- ward at the Hollywood nigh Schol, and is one of the best shots on the Bruin squad. He plays a smart floor game, and was the mainstay of the Bruin frosh during the past season. Shy and Linthicum played to- I gether in high school and may make a fine team at forwards.

Milo Young and Bill Woodroo will battle it out for the pivot Jolr, although Young may play guard; most of the time, as he did this year. Bob Baker, Hal Smith and Al Sunseri. will give Works a greas trio of guards. Lubin, former frosU tosser, Is sure to give the veterans 4 battle for the standing guara po sition. HUSKIES PLAY TROJAN FIVE 1 I (Continued from First Page) wards, Dalquist at center, and James and Berenson in the guard bertlis, ALL-STAR SELECTIONS i Snider and James were the stars of the Husky quintet, being picked, on the all-Northwest team named by Ralph Coleman, who officiated for every team in the circuit.

Much of Washington's defensive strength rests in James, an aggressive guard who stood off his opponents and at the same time build up quite a scoring record himself. Dalquist, who also played guard part of the time, was named on Coleman's second team in one ot the detensive positions. Southern California has two men who were generally picked on all-star southern teams. They are Jess Mortenson, forward, and Johnny Lehners, guard. Capt.

Jack Bruner probably would have been selected but for his illness, which cut down his ability during the closing weeks of the regular season. Henry Cano's feat in tossing seven field goals against Stanford last? Wednesday night may win him the right to start against Washington in Lowry McCaslin's place. "Mac" has been off form lately and Cal-land will probably elect to starfi Cano. Tommy Lewis will pair witr Lehners at guard. It is said that two of the Washington players are tall, rangy chaps, but that the others are medium-sized individuals.

If this is true the Trojans should get along all right physically for Bruner and Morten-son are tall enough to take care ot themselves in any gathering ofl altitudinous athletes.

HOU-YWOOD- LECION STADIUM FRIDAY NITE TUESDAY NITE MtlNTKKFT Of FICl NO. 39 ARCADE Ketchum NEAR RECORDS Western Mermaids Certain of Olympic Berths Approach World Records in Swimming Trials San Francisco Women Turn in Great Times 8 AN FRANCISCO, March 3. California's women swimmers and divers are coming dangerously near the records set by the group of world's champions who make their home in New York and eastern cities. According to recent performances, California champions almost assure themselves berths on the Olvmolc team this year along with such eastern cnampions as Martha Norelius, Agnes Oeraghty, Helen Meany, Ethel Lackie of I.A.C., and Lisa Lindstrom or the New York Women's Swimming Association. Women swimmers In San Francisco have accomplished more during the last year than ever berore.

Three or four swimmers who were among the list of unknowns last year are now credited with records within a few seconds of world marks. NORTHERN STARS Two athletic clubs in San Francisco have over a score of women swimmers who rank as Coast stars, among the most prominent being Helen Zabriskl. Gloria Sclgliano, Evelyn Mefford, Monta Morgan, "Bunny" Fergus and Marlon Oilman. Eleanor GarrattU of Ban Rafael, national fifty-yard champion In 1925 and 1926, has brought her time dov.n for 100 yards free style so that now she ranks about fourth or fifth in the United States hi that event, if not better. Helen Zabriskl has covered 100 yards breast stroke in lm.

during recent practice. Representing the Flelshaker Club, she will win Coast honors again this year. Monta Morgan, representing Neptune Club doep 100 yards free style in better than lm. 5s. She holds the Pacific Coast outdoor championship and expects to take part in the Olympic tryouts for 100 meters.

Another Neptune Club star who won a Pacific Coast outdoor title is Marion Gllman, who is credited with 1:21 for 100 yards, back stroke. According to her coaches, she should break the Coast record in competition, as the record stands at Lillle May Bowmer, former Los Angeles star, set the mErk as an outdoor record; but she is now in Honolulu and the record try rests with Marlon Gil-man. DIVING TITLE "Bunny" Fergus won the Junior National clivinp championship several years ago. In competition under the Neptune Club banner. She has a very good chance to represent Northern California in the Olympic tryouts Evelyn Mefford, back-stroke star, places next to Marlon Gllman In the 100-yard event.

8he has covered the distancp in 1 :25 and better. Gloria Scigllano has won all the Junior A.A.U. distance events during the last year and ranks as a prospective candidate. Helen Zabriskl, Monta Morgan and Marion Gllman have all been credited with Pacific Coast or world's records in their respective events during practice performances. In competitions last summer they won Coast titles airsing Southern California's champion swimmers.

This means that 1 they repeat their performance in Olympin tryout competitions against the same stars, they will win the right to represent the whole of California in the Olympic Games of 1928. SABIN CARR IS TRACK STAR (Continued from First Page) the air when he stabs his pole into the block. His lift In the air, combined with his arch and fling-away, have been perfected after weeks and months of dill-gent training. The Yale athlete made his record vault In connection with the National A.A.U. Indoor track-and-field championships held in New York City last month.

Not only did the superb performance of Carr gladden the hearts of those who will select 'he American team, but the work of other contestants indicates America will again be prepared to make a strong effort to retain the track-and-field laurels of the Olympic competition. SCirWARZE GETS RECORD Herbert Schwarze, the former University of Wisconsin athlete who is competing under the colors of the Illinois A.C. put the shot 49ft. 6 7-8in. This is a new world's indoor record.

The previous accepted Indoor mark was 48ft. 91n. made by R. G. Hills in 1923.

Schwarze is also a certainty for a place on the Olympic team and be should be among the point winners. Athletes who won the indoor titles in other events are practically assured of places on the American team. While some are a trifle better indoors, the majority are expected to perform just as brilliantly out of doors when the National A.A.U. outdoor championships are held the latter part of June. Marks made in the various events indicate the athletes are in condition and Intend to remain In shape for future Indoor affairs and those scheduled out of doors.

The annual Indoor western conference track-and-fleld championships will be held at Iowa City on Friday and Saturday under the auspices of the University of Iowa. This meet is a closed affair and open only to members of the Big Ten. Illinois will enter the games a strong favorite. Coach Harry Gill Is developing another strong aggregation and Indications are it will improve as the season wears on. Few conference athletes, however, have shown promise In the meets already held and chances are none of the records will be in danger.

Trials in some events will be held on the first day with aU finals on Saturday night. May Cross Pond Poole's most famous pupil is Nick Carter, the demon miler of the Los Angeles A. C. Nick is now regarded as the leading four-lap man in the West and a good bet for the Olympic Games. Pete was born near Edinburgh and counts Harry Lauder as one of Ws best friends.

RECORD HUNG UP BY BOSTON STAR (Continued from First Page) yielded the two-mile crown to Joseph Hagen of Columbia. Hagen, after laying off the pace most of the way, came up on the next to the last lap to pass Irving Tottcn of Union and win by ten yards with Benson third, fifteen yards further behind. Bill Cox of Penn State, exhausted by his mile victory, did not attempt the iron man stunt of going into the two-mile race but Reld or Har-vurd did and again bagged points for the Crimson by finishing fourth. Another intercollegiate A. A.

A. A. record toppled when Dnve Adelmart of Georgetown tossed the sixteen-pound shot put 48ft. 8in. to win the event.

Adelman's mark broke the former record of 47ft. by Ralph Hills of Princeton in 1925. The first tilt to be dropped was by default when Monty Wells, crack Dartmouth timer topper, due to the effect of a leg injury, was forced to withdraw from the defense of the seventy-yard high hurdle championship. Cornell's chances of team victory suffered a setback when Elmo Cnruthers. star hurdler, fell flat after stumbling over a hurdle and was eliminated in the second series of semifinals in a heat won by Sol Furth of the New York University, i Oiip-mlle ri'lny.

FRENCHMEN CHOOSE GLOVES A revolution In the customs of France was symbolized recently when two Frenchmen, Llboul and Docquers. decided to "wash their honor" with eight-ounc gloves Instead of pistols or swords ofl ft "field of honor" near Paris.

A LONG REIGN Dcvereaux Milburn. America's veteran polo star, played In every international match except the first one and was supreme among the "golfers on horseback" for almost two decades, Orleans. He has been Pardee'i own ability and will not be surprised if he wins. Two other walking stars who must be given consideration are Charles W. Hart of Southampton, and Guisto Umek, champion of Italy.

Hart Is a man well along in years, but has a fine record as a long-distance walker. Umek has looked good In training here. The two outstanding foreign runners are Juri Lossman of Esthonia and Arthur F. H. Newton of London, Eng.

The former was sent to America by the government of Esthonia to hopes that his victory in the race would bring that country much favorable publicity. Hugo Qulst says Lossman is a fine runner. Newton Is hailed as England's greatest long-distance runner. He is a man of 44 years of age, but is said to have kept to wonderful shape by constant long-distance work. Qulst Is authority for the statement that Newton has averaged 81)0 miles a month during the past three years.

Don Park to Coach Cadets Donald K. Park has been appointed coach and athletic director of the Urban Military Academy. This announce ment, made by President P. G. McDo a 1 comes as the result of the athletic and outdoor training activities which have been generated to the schools of Southern California by the recent Junior Olympic announcements.

"In preparing 'Us DONALD K. DAQK the Urban boys and coaching them for the Olympic events which are to come, we have engaged Mr. Park." declared President McDonald, "because of his wide experience and training of boys to all forms of gymnastics and outdoor recreation. Our new director is an associate member of the physical education department of the University of California and was formerly on the coaching staff of the University of Oregon, from which school he received his B. S.

degree majoring In physical education. For several years he has served as examiner to first aid and life-saving for the American Red Cross." "Park's first work at Urban will be the classification of the entire group based upon age, height, weight and grade. Each boy will be classified so that when the first grading and placement is done, the boys will be competing with boys approximately their own equal as far as physical activity Is PYLE'S RUNNERS START In the highs. Jcddy Welsh and BY BKAVEN D1EB WITH the Olympic Games drawing nearer each day and Southern California's army of athletes needing care and train ing, wise heads in the track racket are laying plans to see that men from the West will be well looked after while across the water. The West has never had a specially assigned trainer for her own athletes, but this summer things may be liferent.

Pete Poole, NtCK. veteran of vet' erans in the art of preparing track athletes for their gruelling tests, is being boosted for tho position of trainer to all athletes from the Pacific Coast and there is every reason to believe that he will land the job. Poole has been identified with the Los Angeles Athletic Club for the nast three years and his efficient work has been in no small measure responsible for the phenomenal success of that organl7a-tion's track team under the guidance of Boyd Comstock and Clur-ley Keppen. SENT EIGHTEEN ATHLETES The Pacific Coast sent eighteen track and held stars to Paris in 1924 and twelve of these earned u.hL p-hh Mich men Bud Houser, Lee Barnes, Glenn Hartranft and others aiding America's cause tremendously. There was no trainer familiar with the needs of these men, the Fast mid Midwest furnishing the conditioners for the Olympic athletes.

Poole would be especially valuable because he Is a native of Scotland and has walked In virtually every European country. He knows the coiufltions there, what the men will have to contend with in the way of climate and food and would lie of more help to the entire United Slates contingent than some man who was only a trainer and who in addition had not been abroad for any length of time. Bob Weaver, president of the Southern Pacific A.A.U., has written Lawsf Robertson, head American coach for the Olympics, asking that Pools named as a trainer for the comin games. In his letter Weaver refers to Poole as "one of the very best trainers in the country." Charley Paddock has also put In a good word for Pete and in his Maxwell have been running right around 15s. flat, however, and Nichols will not lack real competition.

Dirk Tomeroy or Irvin Tanner may get Into the point column for the club in either race. Stanford's power lies In the field events and it is here that the Mercuries are due 'to take quite a thumping. This is especially true 5n the shot, discus and high Jump. Eric Krt-nz, sophomore sensation, Is doped for first in both the shot and discus, being good for 48ft. and af-ml TX itat't 41n.

and Herb Fleishhacker has done the Mercury weight heavers will have to be at their best to get a point out of the shot. Martin Or-lo3 Is probably the best bet and he doesn't exceed 46ft. very often. NEtFELDT L.A.A.C. HOPE Stewart Way spins the discus 135ft.

and so does Forster, which Bpells more trouble for L.A.A.C. Bill Neufeldt and Lang are the Mercury hopes, the former having done 139ft. this season and the latter 134ft. Bob King is a cinch to win the high Jump for the Cards, with Clarence West and Dick French capable of 6ft, If Millard Webster competes for the club the Mercuries may get second. Fred Zombro and Kim Dyer are i doped to place iirst and second in the broad jump.

Eoth are con-'tistent around 23ft. and each man jhas done which is too good the club jumpers. Earl Wilson Bob Patton are Comstock's best linen, doing close to 23ft. The Mercuries will knock off 8 or 9 points in the javilin, where the two Charleys, Eaton and Harlow, perform. Each is likely to better 200ft.

acainsl the Cards. Bill Neufeldt did 184ft. here recently and if he can repeat that toss he should rrab third. Stanford's best i men Joaquin and Sparling rarely exceed 190fl. Much depends upon the Smith brothers and Oienn Graham in the pole vault.

II they can take the first two places it will help a lot, but Ward Edmonds and Hulsman of Stanford must be considered at any height around 13ft. Edmonds has cleared 13ft. 6in. and may win the event if the Mercury vaulters are not right up to snuff. The outcome or the meet might eome down to the relay, which case the Mercuries would probably have an edge, despite the fact that Spencer'a presence on the last lap would make Stanford a tough foe for tny team to trim.

Comstock can run Percy Wallace, Larry Bab-cock, Ted Broadhead, Nick Carter, Bram Stansfleld, Harold Lovejoy or Dick Pomeroy In the first three places and still have Niersbach left for the final lap. The first three warned, with Percy, look like the best ccraDicaUoa tight now. (Continued from First Page) to the long grind across the desert a grueling effort which will undoubtedly result In fifty or seventy-five of them dropping by the wayside, QUIST SIGN'S FOREIGNERS Virtually every country in tne world is represented In the race. Hugo Quirt, former manager of Paavo Nurml, toured Europe for Pyle and came back to the United States with the signed entry blanks of some of the greatest heel and toe experts of the old country. Long-distance running has been a populcr European sport for years and because of the lack of capable distance runners In this country it is freely predicted that a foreigner will win the $25,000 prize which goes to the first man finishing.

America's big guns appear to be Nicholas Quomawahu, the Hop! Indian youth; August Pager, Ohio Finn: Harry Abramowitz, Bronx walker; Willie Kolehmainen, New York Finn; Seth Gonzales, Denver Galloper; Gunman Nilson, Gotham Finn, and William Busch, Philadelphia walker. It will be noticed that most of these so-called Americans are in leality foreigners. When it comes right down to it. Quomawahu is ttH lone out-and-out American of the lot. Fager, although he ran for the United States In the last Olympics, is a Finn, and so are Kolehmainen and Nilson.

All three of these runners are likely to make things hot lor their foes, particularly Fager, who Is a big chap with tremendous reserve strength. BUSH MADE JOURNEY Abramowitz and Busch specialize as walkers, but there is nothing to prevent their breaking into a gallop from time to time. Busch recently completed a Jaunt from Los Angeles to New York in sixty-five days. He has plenty of backers. Gonzales has won several races around Denver and comes highly recommended.

Both he and Abramowitz appear to bo a bit slight for such a long grind as the jaunt to New York will be. There are plenty of outstanding candidates among the foreign entries. It is bard to gauge their respective abilities as most of them have refrained from competing in the preliminary raees at Ascot and although these short jaunts mean little, anyway, they do give some basis for comparison among the various entries. When picking favorites the name of Phillip Granville must be given prominent mention. In fact, we are willing to go on record as selecting the big South Jamaica Indian as the man most likely to win the race.

He is registered from Hamilton, Ontario, and has done most of his walking to the east. Granville weight 184 pounds, is 33 years old and has tremendous endurance. He is a walker, but will undoubtedly vary his mode of locomotion from time to time. Gran-rille has plenty of confidence to his letter to Robertson tells how Poole kcr. orvis w.

One of Pete's most famous pupils Is Charles Wesley Keppen, whose name hereabouts runs more to bicycle racing than running.

But back in 1898 Charley ran the quarter-mile with astonishing speed and peddaled his wheel over the mile and two-mile routes. Poole was Occidental's coach In 19C2 and had Oean Cromwell, Southern California mentor, as one of his athletes. Cromwell was a pole vaulter and shot putter of considerable ability. In those days 10ft. 6in.

was almost the celling in vaulting, but Cromwell wai able to hoist himself to that altitude on many occasions. Coleman Broughton. a broad jumper, who leaped 23ft. was one of Pete's stars back In 1806 at Santa Barbara High School. He had Percy Hagerman at Occidental.

Broughton's leap was a coast record until Hagerman beat It by Inches, If you're seriously hunting for a good value in ANY particular make or model, you can save time and trouble by consulting the "Automobiles For Sale" columns of TIMES WANT ADS.
