NEW YORK — (A — Forrost
Towns, lanky University of Geor
gia timber topper, climaxed a sen
sational performance last night by |
galloping off with the final of the n
60-vard high hurdles, a feature of
; the New York A. (. track meet,
and setting a new world Induuri
record of 7.3 seconds. |
Towns, a newcomer thig sea.wnl
to the eastern boards, electrified a”
crowd of 13,000 by equalling the‘
listed record of 7.4 seconds twice, !
in preliminary heats, and then re-‘
gistering a dramatic victory in thoi
~ final.
Sam Allen of Oklahoma Baptlstl
college, the favorite and a previoua |
victor over Towns, wag leading by |
a narrow margin when he tripped
and fell headlong, ten yards from ‘
the finish. The Georgian, coming ;
fast after a slow start, appeared
to be overhauling Allen rapidly at ]
the moment the Oklahoman stumb- ;
led.
Towns broke the tape a yard in
front of Phil Good, Bowdoin col- |
lege veteran who had equalled the |
listed record in the trials, ;
Towns' time eclipsed the indoor '
mark of 7.4 seconds set in 1929 by
another southerner, Weems Baskin |
of Alabama Poly and the New York l ]

in 1933 by Percy Beard, the Ala- |

AEVOLTA IV LEAD

N GOLF TOURNEY
EPGA Champion Holds One
| Stroke Lead in Thomas
‘ ‘ville $3,000 Open
i By KENNETH GREGORY
Associated Press Sports Writer.
THOMASVILLE, Ga.— () —
Sensational shot making over a
soggy battleground and a day of
stroking that saw the course rec
ord shattered by two strokes end
ed* Saturday afternoon as a rain
storm swept the Glen Arven lay
out with Johnny Revolta of Mil-
Iwaukee still in front of the field
in the Thomasville $3.000 open
golf tournament,
i Shortly before Revolta, Nat
fonal P. G. A. champion and
leading money winner of 1935
completed the second 18 holes of
the 72-hole grind with a neat 68,
Herman Barron, ranking Jewish
‘pmfessionul from White Plains
| N. Y. shattered the course rec-
ord with a spectacular 64, eight
strokes under par.
Revolta’'s total of 137 at the
midpoint of the tournament gave
him the lead over the field by one
stroke, with Barron and Victor
Ghezzi of Deal, N. J,, who earlier
in the day equalled the course
record with a 34-33—67, in a dead
lock for second place with 138's.
Barron's 64 was the lowest
score recorded in any of the win
ter tournaments thus far. In the
Los Angeles Open Henry Picard.
ofo Hersey, Pa.; Harry Cooper of
Chicago, and Ghezzi had rounds
of 69, and Jimmy Hines of Gar
den City, L. I, had a 86 in the
Riverside, Calif. tournament.
Barron's sensational round was
by far the best golf of the open
ing half of the tournament. He
clipped six strokes from par on
the outgoing nine, collecting six
birdies. He barely missed a birdie
on the 36th hole.
Revolta, who led the field yes
terday with a 69, had six birdies
in his second round. He was out
in 33 and returned with a 35,
shattering par by four strokes and
maintaining his position as fav
orite for the top prize of S7OO,

seven points but his defensive
play was outstanding and he eas
lily outclassed the vrest of the
cagers.
| Horne, forward for the visitors,
set the pace for his teammates,
tallying 13 points and playing a
good all-around game. On several
occasions Horne startled the spec

i Hodgson, while able to play, was
held out of the game by Coach

finals will take place in Watkins

Any of five teams seem to have
a chance to cop the northern “B"
{itle, with Carnesville and Hart
well seeming to have a very slight
edge over Athens, Monroe, and
Watkinsville. Although Colbert
boasts a team almost as strong
as the one that took the “C"” class
last season, Bogart looms as the
best “C” school in the northern
race. Good Hope is viewed by a
few fans as the team that may
spring a surprise.
Northern “B” pairings are as
follows: Atheng vs. Monroe, Bow
man vs. Hartwell, Carnesville vs.
Madison and Watkinsville vs. La
vonia. “C” teams line up as fol

BY VOTE OF 56 TO 20
e ot
(Continued From Page One)
given after January 1, 1938, in any
state whose legislature had not
adopted a plan.
The last day of debate was mark
ed by a spirited defense of the su
preme court by Senator Georgse,
Democrat, Georgia, who asserted
criticism of the AAA decision as
“arbitrary” by Senator Robinson,
the majority leader, and others was
“without justification.”
Left Opening
He said the court left an opening
for congress to legislate for agri
culture by placing “less restric
tions on its power to appropriate
than on the general power to le
gislate,” and added:
“Whatever my party writes into
the next platform, I will not sup
port any program that looks to the
elimination of the dual system of
government.
“My obligation to my country is
superior to my obligation to my
party.”
George voted for the soil bill
but said he had some doubt of its
validity. Much would depend on
its administration, he said, whether
it could stand court tests.

District Nurses Hear
Miss Dickinson Speak
At Meceting Held Here
Miss Durice Dickerson, state
executive secretary of the Georgia
Nurses’ Association, from head
quarters in Atlanta, was present
at the Eleventh District monthly
meeting Wednesday, held at the
home of Mrs.” H. H. Cobb, on
Milledge avenue.
Miss Dickerson spoke to the
Eleventh District nurses on
“Nursing in Georgia.” With the
aid of charts, she showed the dis
tribution of training schools and
graduates. An interesting fact re
vealed by the statistics is that the
graduate nurse is employed more
steadily in the less congested
portions of the state, than in the
larger cities. Another item reveal
ed is that graduates of the two
schools formerly located in Ath
ens are scattered over several
states.
. The Georgia State Nurses’ As
lsociation and the League of Nurs
[ing Education are accomplishing
a great deal toward establishing
!a. curriculum of nursing in the
|l‘niversity system where a junior
’,lcollege course has already been
Yisted.
