CIAA GEIDiRON COACHES TO MEET ON RULES
Beating The Gun I
BY ALVIN MOSES f
HE CAN'T SPRINT (?)
NEW YORK (ANP) THIS QUESTION IS POSED hy readera
nf my column who also read many columns ot the white press
and standout weekly papers like the Aim, Courier, Defender, Am
sterdam News, etc.
Harrison Dillard amazing college and lU4B Olympic games sen
sation, is( the subject matter. Seems if thr-r exist two schools o*
thought on the question as to whether Dillard a truly groat dash
man in addition to being . . the greatest hurdle, this or any other
country has produced.
A PEEK AT THE RECORD
Recently .in Coiumbes stadium, Paris the 1348 Air. worm track
and field team made up of many of the winning London Olympic?
squad performed before 18,000 wildly cheering Parisians, We sub
mit again in this space and will continue to sav ■■• n in the Au-c o*.
supposedly superior opinion on the part cf famous tr:-cK athie-cs,
that Harrison Dillard is currently the best 100 vard • ' u 1.00 mote
sprinter in ail Christendom.
While ir Paris. Dillard, permitted B- “'to (W'h 1 Own Kwet;

sprinting in the 400-meter relay event bitweer, Prance and th
United States. His running mates were Craig Dixon third in tin
Olympic high hurdles; Wright and Ba’uey Ewell
According to Allison Danzig, special wnL.r for ft-.e N. Y Time,
in a story written on Aug. 15 in Paris, Dillard over ••had .>wod -t:. •
p t rformers in his relay and high hurdle uiita • Bead i <
Mr. Danzig wrote: "In the 400-meter , ' lav United AlaU- . -
tim French record in winning in 19.9 i.Uxe; W: ignt, Dillcd in !
Ewell ran in that order. Dixon finished a ya: i behind ~nd Wught
marie up the lost ground
MR. BONES, TAKES OVER
Dillard, fresh as a dai-v despite an earlier 13.9 t i .mph in the
high hurdle-, went away like a flash and opened up • five yard:
gap. He and Ewell had a little trouble in ext aging bu baton m
one hand went high and the other low, bu Barney c.i-ted n
time once under way and zoomed away to win by eight or nine
yards."
Whew, buys and girls, can you blame me it b? nvir.g the h<«rn
loud and long for “Mr. Bones'”' Measured by .h< r time pcrl'o;
manor nr sheer intestinal fortitude, Harrison Du -i rates with a'.,
the top American sprinters in track history f*> fares my opin
ion count? and---that’s that.

gun writes scribe Danzig: "Dillard cleared *hc berri.-i* ifnill u >.•
and as rhythmically as though there were no obstacles in the pata.
He took the lead instantly and won all by himself.'
TRACK S BRIGHTEST DAY
I submit it is one thing to give lip set vice to yo .r perfectly
justified opinion in sport matters. But two flaws should tx* relig.
(vusly avoided in my humble opinion I -t’s not be blase:!, let's bury
petty jealousies should we possess any,—and why not permit the
unimpeachable record-book to be the final judge and jury, not
you or myself.
McKENLEYS 300. STANDS ALONL
You readers know how I have eulogized down turn the years
the work of trackmen from Drew and Roy Morse’s day, the cashes*
period I ran actually recall .is a young boy. down to Jesse Owen
unmatched day with its Peacocks, Tobins. Metcalfcs, etc. etc. Ja
maica's Herbie McKonley who was matched only by brilliant El
more Harris, of Brooklyn Dodgers football, player, over the 300
yd. route, is the type of athlete Harrison Dillard has matched
speed with. No sprinter has raced the heart-tearing triple century
dash as has McKenlcy. In addition he run- right along with the
best of his day from 100 upwards _o the 6CU and 060.
Lloyd La Beach was third behind the photo-itnishers, Dillard
6Pd Barney Ewell, at London. Mel Patton was caught, in the back
Vssh of this nicely built eollegianX mercury-shod fee'.. On Aug
15 at Amsterdam, Holland. Lloyd Laß. ach, Panama, won by th •
narowest margin over classy John Treloar, Australia in a 10.5 10”
hleters equalling the time Barney Ewe d made m taking the French
U. S. 100 meters in Paris on that same day. Laßeach came back
lb lick Herb McKenlcy in a 200 meter race that was run in 21.1
to break the old track record by three-tenths of a ;eec:id. McKen
le-y’s time in this race was 21.4. In the 400 meters which he won at
Amsterdam, McKenly was clocked in 46A v.ipping out the old
track of 0.47 set by America's Glenn Ha din, white, some while back
Ewell, Patton, McKenlcy Laßeach, MeQuorcadale, Treloar Lo
renzo Wright, Bouriand, Scholten (Holland) Mtl Patton may sound
tmimpressive to many diehards who cling entirely to . . Yesteryear -
picture. But with Jehovah predicting the sons of Adam would .
“become weaker and wiser,” track men ar* by time-performances
and throwing distance, defeating this biblical prophecy. Don’t permit
your athletic immortals to die for I nevm do that. Merely admit
that a newcomer is as good or better if the performance adds up to
the claim.
Majors Hired “Campy”
After “Watching” Him
For More Than Six Years
BY ALVIN E. WHITE
NEW YORK <ANPi -- Six years ;
ago, Roy CampanelJa caught the
eye of the big league scouts.
, At that time. Tan? Lobert. manag
er of the Philadelphia National
Lea gue team, is reported to have j
given Roy the once over and told
him t-t “sit tight.” That teas in’
June, 1942
Writing in the Daily News at the •
Lme. Lester Rose said that the Pitts- i
burgh Pirates were interested in
several colored plaven: and Presi
dent Bill Benswanger explained
ӣoJored men are American cin
aans with American right. 1 knout
there are many problems connect
ed with the question, but after aii
somebody has to make the first
move." ,
At the time, Frankie Frisch was
managing the Pirates and Bcr?-
waneer failed to make the “first
move”
LOHT MONEY
X) ii". j,: , i even!-: .ii**tvr.i thki
U*c owners «|o:.i a ioi of money, and
the fans lost all opportunity to sec
many sterling Negro players in
i their hey day • for instance
Satchel Paige The Paige th' y sec
i today Is a s'nadow of (he forme i
great pitcher who could stc.irn th*.
i pill over tne plate.
Mr Be;wagner said at that inn?
; he wasn’t going to foist any colorec
j boy on his manager and arbitrarily
! order Frankie Frisch to get rid ol
|a player to make room for him. "i
; can tell you this, any move I matu
will be calculated to help our leart
ind the game. I am not pomg tc
jhire a player only because ht :
colored. If we hire and then dnr,
a colored player who doesn't quu<
make the grade. I suppose wcl
I automatically be nevused us dis

Since that memorabJe day. Jufj
