J ESSE OWENS tells Dan Burley. N. Y. sports writer, that ;
Harrison (“Bones”) Dillard is a hurdler pit r c and simple and “not ;
a sprinter”- -Mayhe we should add that Jess su’d Dillard (a protege j

up with s tmething like this for the man whom wo’vo written hun
dreds of st'-ries about since his Ohio State campus days arid his ;

TERRIFIC COMPETITOR
However, Dillard remains one of the greatest competitors (with j.
or without complete knowledge ot spi Intiug finesse) I have ever j <
had the pleasure to watch and 1 hnv- seen all o r the men race
including Owens many times, dating back to my high school day

newcomers like La Beach. Met Patton etc. . .
