2.8. MINNEAPOLIS. (UP). A duel is in the making between the up and coming University of Illinois track team and the Southern California thin dads for team honors in the N.C.A.A. track meet here on June 21 and 22.

N.C.A.A. officials predicted Saturday that recent power shown by both teams make them natural rivals. Coach Leo Illini cinder men rank with or above the nation in at least five events, while the perennial winners from the west coast presently top the field in only two events. The boys from Illinois, paced by fast-stepping Herb McKenley, recently won the Big Ten track meet and are out for other worlds to conquer. whose rhythmic and immense strides him over 440 yards of cinders in 46.2 seconds in the Big Ten meet for a new unofficial world mark, Ironically lower the N.C.A.A.

record of 46.1 set by Archie Williams of California in 1936. In addition to McKenley, Bob Rehberg, George Walker, and Dwight Eddleman were figured almost certain point getters. The Trojans, meanwhile, have entered 1 men in ten events and were expected to have enough all around strength to give Illinois a hard-fought battle. The vaunted Longhorns of Texas, led by stellar A1 LaWler, were also expected to annex a few points. At least three other aces who paced the Longhorns in the Southwest conference meet, will be on hand.

Lawler hit the tape in :09.5 in the 100-yard dash, the same time as that of Bill Martinson of Baylor. ANOTHER RECORD which may fall is the :13.9 high hurdles mark set by Ed Dugger of Tufts in 1940. Three barrier aces, Ralph Tate of Oklahoma, Walker and Dillard were aU deemed capable if the meet is run under ideal weather conditions. Willie Steele of San Diego State has the best mark in the broad jump, having leaped 25 feet, lYs inches, while Bill Bangert of Purdue has the edge in the shot put. Fortune Gordien, recently out of the navy, and improving rapidly, has the best discus mark to feet inches, while the javelin event had Bob Ijowther of Louisiana State on top.

Bol) Fitch Tops Record MINNEAPOLIS. Bob Fitch of ttA university of Minnesota, Saturday threw the discus 180 feet, 2 3-4 inches to better the World Record mark of 174 feet. 10 3-4 inches established in 1941 by Adolfo Consollni at Milan, Italy. Fitch, a Minneapolis boy doing post-graduate work ai the university, was competing in the Northwest A.A.U. track and field meet.

His toss was made against a moderate wind. Autos to Race At Fair Track Fourth of July Big car auto racing, ruled off the Nebraska sports scene soon after Pearl Harbor, will be revived July 4 when a score or more dirt track drivers clash on the half mile state fair oval. That was the word carried here Saturday by Gaylord White and AI Hayes, representatives of National Speedways, the Chicago organization selected by the fair board and the American Legion to supervise the midsummer speed jamboree. Competition, said White, will be wide open and cash purses totaling $2,500 will be dangled as entry bait. More than 50 of the top speed kings have already received entry forms for the seven-event card.

THE CONTESTANTS will also be shooting for points toward 1946 national dirt track title awards, according to White. He reported that the International Motor Contest association, governing body of the speed sport, has sanctioned the program as a national circuit championship tussle. The Lincoln race meet is the fourth in a series of early season competition promoted by National Speedways, contests already having been run off at Danville, and Cedar Rapids, la. The third program is to be held today on the Wisconsin state fair track at Milwaukee. Among the nationally known speed stars White expects to see in action on the Lincoln track are Emory Collins, national dirt track champion when auto racing was banned to save gas and rubber; Eddie Nicholson, Minneapolis pilot of the late Gus record holding Deb Snyder, Kent, racing ace; Ben Musick, Dallas, winner of many pre-war state fair races; Dave Champeau, Hollywood; and many others.
