Whitfield Dark Horse
Of Olympic Hopefuls
Sailing Tomorrow
Sy the Associoted Pres*
NEW YORK. July 13.-Talk of a
big Army sergeant with a seem-'
ingly endless store of endurance—'
Ohio State's Mai Whitfield—rose
above all the confusion today as
more than 300 of the United States'
Olympic athletes went through final
processing for the trip to London.
The major portion of the Amer
ican delegation—to consist of 346
competitors and 63 officials—will sail
for England tomorrow aboard the
liner America.
As they hurried through the rou
tine of passports, medical exam
inations and amateur oaths, dis-i
cussion in official quarters centered
on the surprising Ohio State sopho
more who scored a Rouble in the
Olympic track tryouts last week'
end—in the 800 and 400 meter runs, i
"He well could be the surprise of"
the Olympic Games,” predicted vet-'
eran Track Coach Dean Cromwell.
There was speculation on how
the durable Whitfield might be em
ployed. Would coaches try him in
both the 400 and 800—forcing him
to run seven taxing races in five
days? Or would he concentrate on
just one and perhaps the 1,600
meter relay?
Group Includes 272 Athletes.
“We hadn’t figured much on the
distance events until Whitfield came
along,” Cromwell said. "Now, I
say, the fellow who beats him will
win the 400 or the 800. He is a great
runner.”
Whitfield probably will concen
trate on the 800 in which he ran
a 1:56.6 in the Olympic tryouts at
Evanston. 111.
Spirits were high as representa
tives of 17 varied sports teams pre
pared to take off for the first post
war Ol.Wnpics, to be staged July 29
through August 14.
A total of 272 athletes and a quota
of officials and chaperones will leave
on the America, arriving at South
ampton. England. July 21.
The fencing squads, both men's
and women's, and the yachting team
will sail a day later on the Queen
Elizabeth, arriving in England on
the same day. The men's swim
ming and water polo teams will go
over by air.
Already in England are the Army
equestrian and modern pentathlon
representatives.
The entire Olympic project is
expected to cost around half a mil
lion dollars and the Executive Com
mittee announced this outlay has
not been fully underwritten.
Thp committee said it still needed
$80,000. but expressed hope the:
deficit could be raised so that no
members would have to be left at
home.
Minor Baseball Gives $10,000.
George M. Trautman, president of
the National Association of Minor
•Leagues, disclosed last night that
{the baseball leagues had contributed
$10,000 to help pay the expenses.
The Olympic headquarters gave
♦his breakdown on the number go
ing in each sport (athletes and of
ficials listed in that order) ;
Soccer, 15-3; boxing, 16-4; canoe
ing. 8-2; basketball. 14-3; equestrian,j

Olympic Girls' T rack T earn of II
Chosen; Seven More Wanted
By the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R. I., July 13.—
After reporting the results of the
U. S. Olympic women's final track
and field tryouts, Mrs. Catherine D.
Meyer of Maplewood, N. J„ chair
woman of that group's committee,
today found nerself limited to an
11-girl team for the nine feminine
events on the international game's
program.
But she had hopes that an appeal
to higher authorities on her arrival
in New York later today will result
in providing funds for the addition
of seven others she rates as worthy
of carrying the U. S. shield in the
London competition.
Olympic berths already have been
awarded to the following:
Audrey Patterson, Nashville.
Tenn., 100 and 200-meter runs; Nell
Jackson, Tuskegee Institute, 200
meter run: Bernice Robinson, Chi
cago, 80-meter hurdles and high
jump: Theresa Manuel, Tuskegee
Institute. 80-meter hurdles and jav
elin; Mable Walker, Tuskegee Insti
tute. 100-meter run.
Alice Coachman, Albany. Ga., high
jump: Emma Read. Nashville. Tenn..
broad and high jumps; Mrs. Frances
Kaszubski, Cleveland, discus and
shotput; Mrs. Dorothy Dodson,
Mundelein. 111., discus, shotput and
javelin; Lillian Young, Chicago, 100
meter run; Mae Faggs, New York,
200-meter run.
Others Sought for Team.
The seven additional athletes to
be recommended for appointment
are Bessie Leich and Jean Walraven,
North Olmsted, Ohio: Romona
Harris, New York; Little Purifoy and
Mary Griggs, Tuskegee Institute;
Eleanor Millheiser, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
and Pauline Ruppeldt of Philadel
phia.
In the meantime the women's
committee has submitted Misses
Patterson, Jackson, Faggs. Robinson,
Manuel, Coachman, Young and
Walker as eligible for the four-girl
400-meter relay team that will be
chosen after the team arrives in
England.
During the final tryouts that ran
into pitch darkness at the Brown
University Stadium last night, two
National AAU records were bettered
and a new American half-mile
medley relay mark was set as Mes
dames Kascubski and Dodson vied
for the top individual honors.
The Cleveland housewife, who won
two National AAU titles at Grand
Rapids, Mich, last week, dominated
the shot put and discus competi
tions with throws of 38 feet 8U
Inches respectively.
Mrs. Dodson, who has held the
National javelin title for the past
10 years, made a 140-foot 4-inch
throw in that event. That spec
tacular performance was 13 inches
better than the National AAU rec
ord Mrs. Babe Didrikson Zaharias
made back in 1932. In addition, the
young Illinois matron finished sec
ond in both the shot and discus.
Relay Record Bettered.
When officials ended the compe
tition because of darkness, Miss
Coachman was about to attempt to
get over • the Olympic high jump
record height of 5 feet 5’4 inches.
but she did manage to win that
event by leaping 5 feet 4\ inches,
112 inches higher than the present
National AAU record made back
in 1933.
The small and sweltering group of
spectators received an unofficial
thrill when Tuskegee's, Misses,
Walker, Griggs, Jackson and Man
uel clipped 3.6 seconds off the Amer
ican mark foT the half-mile medley
relay by running 1:54 flat against
a, quartet representing the New York
Police Athletic League. The old
mark had been set by a New York
Central Railroad A. A. quartet in
1929.
A number of team candidates
from Washington. D. C., w-ere elim
inated in heats or semifinal races.
Reaching the 100-meter semifinal
was Mabel Thornes, while losing out
in heats were Barbara Hood. Geral
dine Gross and June Morton.
The first two were eliminated in
200-meter heats.

track standards when he steps
out in Friday night's seven-event

Hansen, who shattered the 25
lap record at Lanham a year ago,
but who is committed elsewhere
this season, said that the steeply
banked Lanham track is tailor
made for “The Ison Duke's” dare
deviltry and believes that he will
sweep everything in sight there.
Carter, w ho a week later broke
Hansen’s 25-lap mark while set
ting another 15-lap standard and

Tropical Park Plans j
Reduction in Purses
By the Associated Press
MIAMI, Fla., July 13.—A cut in
personnel and reduced purses to
meet an anticipated drop in revenue
is planned for Tropical Park when
it opens the Florida racing season
in . December, General Manager
Brady announced.
Brady said the amount of the re
duction had not been determined.
The minimum last season was $2,400
Brady said Tropical may offset
the expected drop in revenue by
leasing the grandstand parking area
for a drive-in movie theater. He
said Eastern tracks reported drops
of 10 to 30 per cent this season.
