(P) Wesley Wallace, speedy Fordham University junior, set a new world indoor record of lm. 4.4s. tonight as he led all the way to win the Columbus 500-meter run, one of the feature events of the Columbus Council K. of track meet at the 215th Coast Artillery Armory. While Glenn Cunningham and Don Lash were scoring expected-ly easy triumphs in the 800-meter and 3000-meter specials, respectively, Wallace threw a minor bombshell into the opening meet of the indoor track season.

He sprinted into first place at the starter's gun, opened up a five-yard lead on Mortimer Alnwick of Georgetown University and then beat back a fine closing bid by Lou Burns, former I.C.4-A. mile and half-mile champion, to win by three yards.

Coaches Ray Flaherty and Gus Henderson both appeared in an optimistic frame of mind after yesterday's workout of the All-Americans, who have shown a surprising improvement in team play in spite of their short while together.

"GREAT GROUP" "When you have such a' great group as this, though," sum Coach F'laherty, "it's really a pleasure to coach them.

The dimpled Texan ij in a commanding position as play goes into the third round this morning, for his 68 of yesterday on top of a near-record 66 scored Friday gives him 131 strokes at the halfway point. Demaret's opening G6 was received with some scoffing, for he scored it over the Harding course, a comparatively easy test of golf.

SETTLES DOWX But when he braved the crisp morning breeze early yesterday on the Wilson course it was a different story. He took bogeys on two of the first three holes and had to settle down in determined fight for the rest 'of the distance. His determination paid juicy dividends, however, for he got those strokes back on the seventh and eighth holes and added three additional birdies on the second nine for his total of 68. Although he was straight with exactly the same thing to Real Clear in an earlier race. PERFECT RECORD At any rate Vanderbilt's batting average is still 1000 per cent an average of one winner each day of the meeting and Heelfly, away from the races for more than a year, definitely becomes a threat in the Santa Anita Handicap on March 4.

Galsun's strong finish was somewnat unexpected, and his stock rose along with that of the first starte, Vino Puro, one of Horace Luro's latest Argentine importations. To make Galsun's disqualification more impressive the stewards suspended Jockey Basil James 10 days for rough riding, and he joins Sammy Renick and Ken McCombs in the clink. James had ridden the first triple of the meeting up to the time of the setdown. A win on Galsun would have given James four winners for the day.

Galsun won by a nose, but was set back to sec ond place for interfering: with Heelfly in the stretch run.

Heelfly, closing rapidly on the outside after being forced to break from outside the gate at the start, was overtaking Galsun, the pace setter, when the latter bore out.

The resignation of Orian (Toad) Landreth as head football coach at the University of Arizona was submitted to President Alfred Atkinson of the school here to day. Landreth, who was offered a new contract at a raise in salary after a disappointing first year at the university, said he was returning to Long Beach, where he formerly coached at the Long Eeach Polytechnic High Atkinson announced the coach's action but said no rea son lor me move was given.

Other university officials, how ever, said Landreth felt he had not been supported by the school alumni. Landreth's team won only three games during the 1938 season and lost six. He was stricken with influenza during the latter part of the year and was forced to spend most of his time in bed.

'OXE SHOT" SPEAKS Wirt (One Shot) Ross, one of the greatest open-field orators extant, took the floor early in the meeting and by sheer perseverance and determination held it against all comers despite the determined efforts of rival soapboxers to shout him down. "I want to thank Jack Singer, here," said "One Shot," waving a tattered strand of Bob Murphy's choicest corned beef in the general direction of the guest of honor, "for helpin' me.

i never went to no school but thanks to Jack's fizzy-phryzzy-phrazy what th' hell do I mean anyway well, thanks to them danged long words he uses writin up them fights an 'rass-lin' matches my vocabulary has increased from 267 to 2SG words an' they ain't none o' them words too good to use talkin' about my heavyweight fighter Haystack Sloan." CHAMP ARMSTRONG Shouts of "Hey who's the guest of honor Singer or Haystack Sloan," merely served to give "One Shot" a moment in which to stuff a forkload of cabbage down his gullet without in the slightest impeding his flow of oratory. "Now Hennery Armstrong, down there at the end of the table," continued "One Shot" with a flourish of a steak bone that somebody had surreptitiously slipped onto his platter, "there's the greatest little fighter in the world. This here horse-thief Eddie Mead here (business of pointing again) stole Hennery from me but he done a lot more for Hennery than I could'a done and he shore done a swell Job of managin' Hennery."
