~ Victory Yesterday i

" A prediction of a couple of yearsé
ago by Track Coach Weems Bas- |
ff;;ht,.'came true yesterday afternoon
‘when Forrest “Spec’ Townes, :
fanky University of Georgia hurd- |
lep, get a new southern record m;
ggmf'izo yard high hurdles with a
#&rk of 14.8 seconds. i
. /‘Spec” had never hurdled in his!
;ue when he came to the unlversityl
from Augusta. But Baskin, who |
was a champion hurdler himself at |
‘Auburn, took one look at the fresh
man, and started patting himself
-on the back. He knew he had a
ze.
gfi’z‘hat boy will be a championl
before he graduates from here.”[
Baskin told newspapermen after he
had seen Townes go through his
paces in practice one afternoon.
.1t took a lot of work by Baskin
‘and Townes though, before the
freckled-faced Augustan could ever
learn the art of hurdler. You see,
“Spec” was a high jumper at Aug
usta, and that’s what he wanted
to be at Georgia. He still partlc!-|
pateg.in the high jump, but he had
rather hurdle now.
A} Moreau, crack L. 8. U, hurdlor‘
was one of Towne's vistims in the
high hurdler race held in connec
tion with the Sugar Bowl football
classic yesterday in New Orleans.
His mark of 14.8 seconds was‘
4-10 of a second better than the
gouthern mark, and will probablyl
be recognized as the recora.
Townes hag run the hurdles in 14.8
seconds several times in duel meets
but none of his marks have ever
been recognized.
When Coach Baskin first started
Townes to hurdling, he had a spec=l
fal hurdle :ulii for him. It was
a regular high hurdle, with a piece
of wood nailed on to the top cross
‘bar, and for months that one hurd
le wag all he was.allowed to skim.
. Last year, as a sophomore, For
rest was almost a “cne-man track
team,” taking part in the 120 yara
high hurdles, the 220 low hurdles,
the 100 yard dash, and high jump.
‘He has run the hundred in 10 sec
onds, and once with a strong wind
‘behind him, ran the century in 9.9
‘seconds,
'Five records were set In the
Sugar Bowl classic yesterday, with
Glenn Cunningham running the
mile in 4 minutes and 16 seconds,
Jack Torrance tossing the shot &4
feet 1 1-4 inches, last runaing the
two mile race in 9 minutes 19.6
seconds, and Charlie Hornsbostel,
formerly of Indiana, running the
880 in 1 minute, 654-6 seconds.

To Start Came for Stan-!
ford Indians Tuesday '
PASADENA, Calif.— (#) —With!
rain forecast for tomorrow, foot-|
ball teamg of Southern Methodist{
University and Stanford, Rose;
Bowl contestants in the Tourna-!
ment of Roses New Year's day.f
wound up preliminary training with |
light workouts today. |
The two teams'are ready for |
the Rose Bowl classic, and bothl
coaches, Madison Bell of 8. M. U.|
and Claude “Tiny” Thornhill, otll
Stanford, have pronounced their
squads in good shape for the|
game, |
Stanford supporters were cheered
by the anrouncement Iyesterday
that both Bobby Grayson, All-Am
erican fullback, and Monk Moscrip,
All-American end, would be in
condition to start. Grayson was
ordered to bed a few days ago with
a cold, but ig sufficiently recovered
to play the entire game tomorrow
if necessary.
Prospects of rain was regarded
in Stanford’'s favor, although 8. M.
U. was not at all down-heartea
over playing on a wet field. The
Mustangs have demonstrated their
ability to fling passes, and employ
their fast ©breaking offense on
muddy fields beicre, and were nov
particularly worried.
Stanford will have a weight.ad
vantage of abour 11 pounds to the
man over the Mustangs, but the
speedy Texans are expected to
offset this advantage with their
daring style of play. If Stanford
thinks “Dixie” Howell and his
Alabama teammates showered it's
{team with footballs last New Year's
i day, ther Bobby Wilson ard com
! pany wil simply rain pigskins all
!o.t’ternoon. It is no secret that
iCoach bell plans to use plenty of
! passes in an effort to send Stan
| ford to its third straight defeat in
the bowl B
Two All-American backs will
compete against one another to
morrow, when 1565-pound Bobby
Wilson exhibits his skill and speed
against big Bobby Grayson, pile
driving Stanford fullback.: Both
of these two boys were selected on
‘almost every mythical team this
year.
' Each team will have an All
lAmex-ic&m selection in the line,
Truman Spain, S. M. U., tackle, and
“Monk’” Moscrip, ‘Stanford end.
Another possible duel that will
help lure a crowd of around 85,000
tpeople, is the field goal Kkicking of
Moscrip, and big Maurice Orr,
Fherty tackle of Southern Methodist.
Mouerip won three " games for
‘Stanford this past season witn
field goals, and Orr was respon
sible for two or three long Kkicks
for the Mustangs,
And tomorrow, either South
ern Methodist or Stanford will be
gin the New Year right, and the
other will be off on the wrong foot.
Which will win? The odds are on
Southern Methodist, but there is
plenty of Stanford money looking
for some of the odds.

BY JIMMY DONAHUE |
(NEA Service Sports Writer) |
NEW YORK — An ebony comet
flashed across the uack world of
1199:’3 to play havoc with world rec- |
ordg for the sprints, hurdles, and
'runnlng broad jump.
Regardless of what the Sullivan
award committee of the Amateur
Athletic Union thought when it
eliminated Jess Oweng from con
sideration, the Negro sophomore of
thio State University was the
standout track man of the year.
I Indeed, Owens’ performances on
a single afternoon in the Western
conference championships at Ann
Arbor in May have never as much
as been approached as long as
athletes have run and jumped.
Owens started the year by set
ting a new A. A, U. indoor broad
jump record of 25 feet 9 inches and
a 60-meter dash mark of 6.6 sec
onds in New York. That was just
an indication of what was to come.
He followed up that performance
'by blazing over 60 yards indoors in
the Big Ten track meet in Chicago
in 6.1 seconds for a new world
record in March, 4
- Qarrying on outdoors, Jesse took
part in the Drake Relays at Des
Moines, late in April, and broke
the American broad jump record,
hurtling his slim, brown body
through the air 26 feet 1% inches,
three-eights of an inch short of
Chuhei Nambu's world record. He
followed this with a 9.5-second
victory in the 100-yard dash, tying
the meet record established by
Roland Locke of Nebraska in 1926,
The Buckeye's next appearance
came in the middle of May, dur
ing a quadrangular meet between
Ohio State, Wisconsin, Northwest-
ern and Chicago. In that meet he|
won the 220-yard low hurdles In|
the world record time of :22.9; won:
the 100-yard das}m in 9.4, equa:ling
the world mark; 'won the 220-yard’
dash in :20.7, setting a new meec!
record, and annexed the broad
jump with a leap of 25 feet 5 1-6
inches, also a new meet record.
Full Day's Work el
. During the Big Ten outdoor meet
at Ann Arbor, Owens astounded the
track world when he shatterea
‘three world .marks and equaled
‘another,
| Jesse chalked up new standards
}ot 26 feet 8 1-4 inches in the!
running broad jump, 20.2 seconds
in the 220-yard dash, and 22.6 sec
ionda in the 220-yard low hurdles,
and tied Frank Wykoff's century
ldash record of 9.4 seconds.
' Appearing at Berkeley in the N.
C. A, A, meet late in June, Jessel
| walked off with the 100 and 220-
| yard dashes, broad jump, and 220-]
|yard Jow hurdles without having
to extend himself. \
‘ With such a hectic season of
‘campaignmg behind him, Owens
had cause for an alibi — buat of
‘fered none — when HKEulace Pea
cock, Temple Negro, defeated him
{in the 100 meterg and running
| broad jump during the Naticnal A.
A. U. meet at Lincoln and shortly
after at Crystal Beach, Ont.
Another remarkable feat in the
sport was Keith Brown’s world
| record pole vault of 14 feet 5 1-8
iinchea during the I. C. 4-A meet
at Cambridge. Brown’s vault came
after Bill Graber, ex-Southern
California vaulter, had chalked up
a leap of 14 feet 5 5-8 inches at
| Santa Barbara. Garber’'s effort
‘ws.an't recognized as a world rec
ord because Bill vaulted from an
elevated runway. :
Seventh For Trojans
Brown gave his Yale team just
about all the glory it achijeved in
the I. €. 4-A meet — 8 poings.
Southern California won the crown
for the seventh time, California
finished second, and little Bates
College of Maine wound up third,
chiefly through the efforts of An
ton Kishon, who copped the ham
mer throw and placed third in the
discus, and Larry Johnson, who
was runner-up to his teammate in
the hammer.
Two meet records were cracked
in the I. C. 4-A competition. Ham
Hucker of Cornell slashed the 200-
meter low hurdles mark to 23.2.
Foy Draper of Southern Califor
nia negotiated 200 meters in 21 flat,
Nothing of any consequence in
the line of setting new records was
done during the Penn Relays. Jack
Torrance pushed the 12-pound ball
62 feet 1-4 dinch to erase Leo Sek
ton‘'s three-year-old record of 60
feet 5 1-2 inches
The milers, who were the stand
out track performers of 1934, didn’t
do any of the record-smashing they
were expected to. Glenn Cunning
ham trimmed Bill Bonthron and
Gene Venzke in the Baxter and
‘Wanamaker miles, both indoors,
and took Venzke's measure in the
K. of C. indoor mile.
{ Lovelock Prevails
] Cunningham didn't fare so well
| outdoors. Although he defeatea
| Glenn Dawson of Tulsa, his con
|queror in the Kansas Relays a
| week previously, in the special
}three-qua_,rters-mile race of the
i Drake Rélays, Cunningham lost the
|race he wanted most to win when

Aid to Frogs
The unexpected cold weather is
seen from the T. C, U. side as
great aid to the boys from Texas.
The Frogs were jubilant over the
clear, crisp weather, and only hop
ed that the ground would remain
firm and dry.
L. B. “Dutch” Meyer, T. C. U.
head mentor, said that the hopes of
his eleven lay in cold weather, and
that he hoped the weather would
remain clear with no rain. :
“We're looking for a great ball
game,” Meyer said, “and we have
come prepared to meet whatever
opposition L. 8. U. has to offer.”
Other members of the Texas
Christian coaching staff expressed
similar opinions, all holding the
powr of the Bayou Tigers in due
respect.

IN NEW YORK
Paul lv':::rison
| BY GEORGE ROSS
NEW YORK — Imagine, if You
can, a public banquet without a
single after-dinner speech, without
'a cloud of cigar fumes drifting
’into your demi-tusse and without
'a master of ceremonies; a ban
‘quet that winds up in a loud cheer
for the chef instead of the ar
‘rangements committee chairman
and in a long round of applause
for the green salad.
I wasn’'t dreaming for such has
just happened at the dinner ten
dered by the Wine and Food So
ciety in the Savoy-Plaza off Fifth
Avenue.
The 250 members of the Wine
and Food Society abided by the
rules. By a stopwatch, Henry W.
Taft, Gourmet Extraordinary, bro
ther of the late president, used ex
actly 80 seconds to introduce the
chicken conscmme and to conclude
the feast. Not a puff of tobaccuv
smoke contaminated the black
coffee although a couple of brother
epicures, including Jules Glaenzer,
cheated with a «whiff or two cat in
the corridor, between the Pompano
and roast Guinea Hen. Even the
cook was forbidden any comment
(in_ French, of course) when he
was dragged up to the dias. They
might have given him a minu’s to
expldin, why ©La Creme ' Surette
(chicken consorame to you, chicken
consomme to all of us) was faintly
overdone. .. . / .
- Weli, they @dn’t ‘and most "of
the -members, mildly soaked -in
many mnectars, ‘dincluding a sixteen
year old sherry, a White Burgundy,
a ‘Red ‘Burgundy, & Veuve Cliquoe
Champagne (vintage of 1923) and
an extrémely fine and potent
Champagne of 1875, were willing
to' forget the whole chicken con
somme incident, out of natural
generusity. After. all, it happens
in the Kitchens of the -best fami
lies.
‘ Martyrs to Good Taste -
} But perhaps I ghould tell you
'more of the aims and purposes and
the “reason for existence |of the
Wine and Food Society. It is a
‘band devoted to educating mankind
'in the better enjcyment of fooa
and wines and to experiment with
both. Brave men, all of them, be
cause they are willing to make the
first sacrifice by tasting everything.
Once, they met at a Manhattan
‘hotel room and tasted Americanl
cheese from 5 o'clock in the after
noon until 7 p. m, and innuraer
able samples of sherry have passed
their lips for an 0. K.
~ Among the leaders of this hu
manitarian club is Crosby Gaige,
theatrical producér, tatterfly chas
er, inventor, book collector, coun
try squire and last but by no
meang least, amateur tookobook‘
authority. It was Mr. Gaige, inci
dentally, who inducted your frigh
tened correspondent into the soc
iety. .
Yes, frightened. For, although a
practising explorer of matters gas
tronomical—l distinctly re¢all hav
ing written a couple of buoks on
New York restaurants—l've never
been tossed into a Toray with a
menu stich as this before. It was
easy sailing through Lée Petits Pols
Nouveau, Watch Hill Farm, which

Expertness Open to Doubt
And, b’ the way, T must remem
| ber to tell officers of the Wine and
Food Society of certain members
in the ranks who aren’t exactly up
to snuff. Or sniff? On the way
to the Sherry table, one lady turn
ed to her escort and asked, “Shall
we have another glass?”’ Her es
cort looked furtively around the
room for a minute and sheepishly
}r‘ep]ied. “Why not, 1 guess it's the
lthing to do.” That kind of inde
cision won’t do in our club . ..
‘Not to mention the other exquisite
ly gowned lady who ,remarked as
she reached for her cup, “I always
thought sherry belonged in the
soup.” i
Mr. Taft ie president of the so
ciety., Andre Simon, who founded
the group, is chairman, and Rich
ardson Wright is one of the execu
tive officers. Lucius Beebe, the
journalist, Ph‘lip Merivale, the
theatrical ‘star,® Mrs. Julian Street,
wife of the wine connojsseur, and
Alfred Knopf, the book _publisher,
are other practicing gourmets In
the eXecutive council.
