List of Entries In 54th
Annual Track Tournament
PHILADELPHIA — (UP) —
They have given the Penn re-
lays back to the college boys so
today some 3,000 of them con-
verged on Franklin field for the
45th renewal of the games with-
out any Glenn Cunninghams,
Don Lashs or Jesse Owenses
around to steal the headlines or
tabe the luster off their perfor-
mances.
It may be Johnny Woodruff,
Pittsburgh's middle distance
star: the speedy Rideout twins
from Texas; Marty Glickman,
one of the boys from Syracuse,
or any number of others who
wil get the plaudits of the
crowd when the last of .the 76
events is run off in the dusk of
Saturday evening. For the first
time in many years no cheers
have been reserved for the
"name" track and field athletes
who have graduated from col-
legiate ranks and are competing
for athletic clubs and associa-
tions.
The absence of the "name"
stars, however, is not expected
to detract from the interest in
the relays for they will, in a
measure, serve as a preview of | See SECOND
what America can expect of its
track and field athletes in the
1940 Olympics. With the excep-
tion of a 100 or so prep and high
school athletes, practically every
participant hopes to bolster
through his performance a bid
in the greatest track and field
meet of them all.
Six defending champions in
the special evenis, record hold-
ing relay teams, various confer-
ence and sectional titleholders
are among those who will com-
pete. The defendants are William
Watson, Michigan, broad jump;
Francis Ryan, Columbia, pole

Notre Dame, discus; Don Kinzle,

It is not oitr fault that
Clyde Southworth nor Mose
Newman did not so to Min-

locate them, but were told by
reliable sources they were
thinking of going.

An eight-run splurge in the

The Reds were held to a 3-3

The Boston Bees advanced to

Snyder's Star In
Drake U. Relays
DES MOINES, la—(UP) —
Athletes from 77 colleges and
universities begin a two-day as-
sault on existing track records
today in the 30th annual Drake
university relays.
Although most of the compet-
ing teams are from schools west
of the Mississippi river, every
section of the country will be
represented.
Probably the greatest individ-
ual performer entered is Fred
Wolcott, Rice Institute's 120-
yavd high hurdle if.iampion,
from Snyder, Texas. He has
won 40 titles, has never been
beaten outdoors and holds the
Drake Relays mark of 14.2 sec-
onds.
Two relay races are in today's
program and in each one a new
meet record is expected.
Rice Institute will defend its
championship in the sprint med-
ley. Other strong teams entered
in tliis event are Ohio st?te, Iowa
state and Oklahoma.

CHICAGO — (UP) — Billy
Patterson, Baylor university's
pass-pitching sensation for the
past three years, signed a con-
tract with the Chicago Bears of
the National professional foot-
ball league today after a deal
that sent Fullback Sam Francis
to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Pirates selected Patter-
son in the draft, but relinquish-
ed their rights to him in ex-
change for Francis. Patterson
tossed the two touchdown pass-
es that gave the west all-stars a
13-0 victory over the east all-
stars last fall. In his three
years at Baylor he completed
135 of 321 passes.
