Chapman, Wisconsin, a Fast Two-Miler

The list of entries for the 100-yard dash and the two-mile is by far the strongest that has competed in these events for a long time. Rarely has such a host of spike-shoed stars been entered and new records in both of these events will not be surprising. This would seem to be especially true of the two-mile event. From widely scattered sections of the country are coming the distance to burn up the cinders in this mighty test. On this season's performance to date a young man from the University of Wisconsin, Victor Chapman, would seem to hold the slight edge on the other entries. Chapman recently won the indoor two-mile championship of the Western Conference and set up a nev record for their games with the time of 9 minutes 262-5 second) This record was made on a ten-lap banked track and the Badge Mar should be able to cut down that time on the paths at Franklin Field. The record for the relays is only four-fifths of a second better than Chapman's new indoor record. The carnival record was node in 1921 by Baker, of Bates. The intercollegiate record for the event was made bv Dresser, of Cornell, in 1922. His time w as 9:222-5.

Shimrk. of Marquette, second last year; Helm, of George ton n. former S'ational A. A. V. champ, and llunn. of loua, are among those who will make Chapman hustle. 100-Dash Has Top-Notch Field

The ane-hundred-yard dash, always one of the most exciting and inoM inspiring events of the program, has drawn a top-notch field. Several of the stars entered in thi» event have frequently covered the distance in 94-5 seconds. Frank Hussey, of Boston College. the National A. A. I’, century dash champion, will make a strong Hd for the crown. So will Hayes M. Norton, of Yale; Vic Nash, of Occidental College. Los Angeles, and Bill Butler, of (Jeneva College. All have done 9 4-5, the Relay record. Harry Russell, the Cornell flash, who came to the fore last year by winning the 220-yard dash at the relays, has continued his good performances this season. His winning of the intercollegiate 70-yard indoor diadem would indicate that hr will give Hussey, rt rj.. plenty of trouble in the century dash as well as in his favorite event, which he won last season.

first period, but the vi*iting led at Ibr finish 20-19. The game was marked by close defensive play on the part of both teams. It was next to Impossible to break through the defense of either team to get a shot fi-om near the basket and the fact that ihe visiting players were the more successful when il came to laying up the long shot* accounts

•ot their victory.

Sheetr. of Camden, was the ? star of the game. The young ath- ' ? lete was playing with a badly!' .-prained wrist and it was doubt-J ful If he would be able to con- 1 tinue during ihe second period. The fact that he finished the ; game accounts lor Ihe defeat of the Sea Isle five. Shortly after Ihe ! -econd half started the Camden ] lean spurted, and led by the j dashing attack of Sheetz. jumped into the lead. The Sea Isle five drew up and evened the score at 15-all. but again Sheetz sent his team ahead with his long Khols. The home five were outscored from the Held 6-3. but were far better with their foul shooting I ■ than the team from up-State.

America's supremacy in the balkline billiard game is threatened by the European Mars. Hie only American tnlrlioldrr of balklinr billiards is Jake Schaefer, who recently won the IK.I > hampiomhip

from Willie Hoppe.

A few weeks back Erich Hagrcilachcr. of Germany, defeated Schaefer for the 18.1 championship. Previous to that Edouard Horemam. of Belgium, won the title from Schaefer, but the latter

won it bail again a month later.

Ary Bo*, of Holland, is the new holder of the 18J national! junior championship, which hr won by defeating a field of riatKMial stars. Bos came to this country in 1922 to take part in the championship tournament won that year by Edgar T. Appleby. The European stars are making rapid progress in balklmr bil- • liards in this country and unless there are other players of tin- t; calibre of Hoppe and Schaefer developed here t* is evident that L Europe will be able to lay claim to the leading biliiardists of the F

world.
