Clyde Coffman of Topeka, Kan, defending champion, came through with a leap of approximately 24 feet 3 inches to lead the decathlon field in the Kansas) relay broad jump here today, hut it was all an accident. Coffman is in the habit of placing a stick 23 feet from the takeoff mark as a goal. Today he carefully placed the stick and turned to walk back up the runway. He came tearing down the path and made a prodigious leap. Arms flailing and legs extended he shot through the air, fairly soaring through sheer will power to reach that mark.

He made it and with inches to spare, and, if he wondered why it was such hard work, there was a reason. William H.

champions passed from the American Olympic final wrestling tryouts today, one after suffering his second straight defeat and the others defaulting as the starting field of 134 contestants was reduced to 98. The accumulation of five bad marks, which amounts to automatic elimination, dashed the hopes of 30 contestants, but the routing of George Belshaw, National A. A. U. 158-pound title holder, and the defaults of Ted Anderson and Wayne Martin, 123-pound and 134-Dound National collegiate cham pions, respectively, from Oklahoma, were the biggest surprises as the competition reached the half way mark.

Meet Ends Tonight. Seventeen victims were added to the 13 eliminated last night and four others, in addition to Martin and Anderson dropped out of the tournament which will end tomorrow night, Martin reported an injured leg, and Anderson was declared ineligible because he was eight pounds overweight. Belshaw's elimination was achieved by Orton Woodhead of the Los Angeles Athletic Club, who flattened the A. A. U.

title holder with an arm lock in six minutes. The defeat of Belshaw leaves Ben Bishop of Bethlehem, national Y. M. C. A.

monarch and 1934 college king, and Frank Lewis of Oklahoma A. outstanding among the 158-pound survivors. Lewis won his first two bouts by falls, while Bishop threw his first opponent and gained the unanimous decision in the second for one bad mark. An Impressive Performance.

C. A. of Chicago, Brooklyn Central and Tulsa, waged a three-way struggle for team honors today in the first half of the two-day international Y. M. C.

A. indoor swimming championship program. The Chicago team won only one of the five finals tonight, but piled up enough points in the other places to take first place in the team scoring with 16 points, two more than Brooklyn, where the meet was staged. Tulsa swimmers walked off with two titles to take third place with 12 points. The point scoring was as follows: Lawson, Chicago, 16; Brooklyn Central.

14; Tulsa, 12; York, Huntingdon, Downtown Pittsburgh. Flushing. N. Jamaica, N. Westside, N.

New Rochelle, N. 1. Three Records Set Three new meet records were established, due to changes which increased the distances for each event. Brooklyn Central's quartet established a mark of 3:44 in winning the 400-yard relay, which replaced the 200-yard event. Ludwig Harman of- Tulsa captured the 150-yard backstroke increased from 100 yards in 1:45.1 and Jerald Rudig of Huntington, set up a mark of 5:04.9 for the 440-yard free style, formerly 400 yards.

Entries from the Pittsburgh district didn't fare so well, with only the Downtown Branch edging into the scoring column with three points thanks to the fine showing of Russ Lindberg, who captured second place in the 150-yard backstroke event, being beaten out by Ludwig Harman of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Walter Nowatney of the Alle- gheny Y. M. C. also of Pitts- burgh, set the pace in the fourth heat of the 50-yard free style with a mark of 0:24.9, but failed to qualify by one-tenth of a second as five others in previous heats had better times.

Decide On Best Time. With representatives of 22 institutions competing, the trial heats, decided on a best-time basis, produced better performances than the finals in the other two events. Ray Watson of Tulsa led home a field of 25 in the 200-yard breast stroke trials in 2:31 flat, then bested the other, three survivors in the final in the comparatively slow time of 2:37.1. Gordon Cornelius of Lawson, Chicago, the National Y. M.

C. A. 50-yard champion, qualified for the semi-finals of his specialty in the good time of 24.2 seconds. Then he eased up a trifle to win his second heat in 24.5. and was clocked in 24.6 in the final as he bested Stanley Rose of Brooklyn.

Howell beat Sweeney in an exhibition in Pittsburgh two weeks ago, Additional Sports Appear on Page 20 PRESENT THIS NOTICE AT YOUR EM Ford Christopher Frick, president of the National League, was a Pittsburgh visitor yesterday. He was a dinner guest last evening of President Benswanger of the Pirates.

Later Frick departed for his headquarters in New York City. -The league executive was disappointed when the game had to be postponed because of cold weather. However, business matters required his attention in the East. He saw the Cubs and Cardinals in action at St. Louis and also attended Thursday's contest at Cincinnati.

He expects to watch some engagement on Pittsburgh so'l in the near future. While at the ball park yesterday, Frick took occasion to visit the home clubhouse and give a little talk about the new rule which provides a penalty of $10 for players who are found fraternizing with members of an opposing club. He told the boys it would be perfectly all right for them to be friends with their rivals, but such ac quaintances might be cultivated off the diamond. He explained that when the athletes get into their uniforms, they are expected to consider themselves ready to put their hearts into the work of trying to win. For that reason it was decided to assess a penalty whenever a member of one team is seen exchanging handshakes with his enemies on the playing field.

Frick is not inclined to regard the mixup between Dick Bartell of the Giants and Van Mungo of the Dodgers, as much of a fight. "One player swung at the other and missed," he declared, "and the NET STARS PLAY AT WHITE SULPHUR W. M. Hall to Witness Annual Tourney.
