GRIFFITH Director of Ohio R^iti The entry of George Simpson in to the sport which has brought him nation-wide fame was more or less an accident and his debut on the cinder path was Inauspicious. Like many other school boys, he enter tained hopes of becoming a star in football, basketball and baseball. In fact, these sports occupied almost all of his time. The 1923 baseball season of the Columbus schools was nearing the end when George read of a junior high school track meet to be held in conjunction with the city high school meet at Ohio State Univer sity. He determined to run in the contests and. since there was no equipment at his school, he bought spiked shoes and got out his bas ketball suit to wear. With his ability to place In this new sport—he ran second in the century in 10.8 seconds and fourth in the 220 that went at a fraction above 23 seconds—-there came en couragement and a determination to report for track at East High the next year. Greatest Thrill From Grid Game Simpson's love for football, whcih was still evident last fall when he reported to Coach Bam Willaman’s Ohio State varstiy squad, netted him three letters as a halfback at East High. The greatest thrill he ever received from sports was not when he shattered the record for the century but when he was rush ed into a high school football game in the closing minutes and caught a long forward pass for a touch down that brought victory to East High During 1924 and 1925, the per formances of Simpson were but those of the average high school sprinter and not until 1926 did the shadow of the Ohio Express begin to creep across the record book. He started his long series of sprint achievements by winning the 50-yard dash of the Michigan in terscholastic indoor meet in 55 seconds, a national record. On the outdoor track in the spring, he continued to pile up marks. He turned the centurv of the state in terscholastic in 9.3 seconds and the furlong in 21.7 seconds. Through out the season, his marks remained consistently at 10 flat or better. And so consistent has the Ohio boy been since that time that on only two occasions—a preliminary heat at the Rice relays when the field was facing a strong wind and again at the Penn relays in 1928 with the track ankle deep in mud —has he failed to "break” 10 sec onds. Culminating his scholastic career Simpson staged one of the most brilliant performances of all time at, Stag? Field. Chicago, in the national interscholastic He ran in the anchor position of his sprint relay team that finished ahead of an unusually fast field He won the 100-yard dash and the 220. equaling the national record of 9 8 seconds in the century and turning in a sensational 218 seconds in the furlqng And the mark of 43.5 sec onds for the 440-yard relay, which still stands in the record books, was greatly due to the running of George Simpson. Broke Freeh Sprint Records A light schedule of training de signed to Improve his form and conserve his speed for varsity competition was riven the Colum bus boy when he entered the state university in the fall. Even this did not keep him from establish ing new yearling marks of 9 8 and 214 seconds in the century and furlong. The close of the school year saw Simpson break into "major” com petition for the first time To say that he broke in is putting It mild ly. In the district A A.

This after noon a flock of nimbled heeled youths will depart from this sec tion for Austin where they will compete in the Intersoholastlc state meet. About the same time Bobby Cannon s Valley championship base ball team will engage Palfumas at that city in a bl-dlstrlct duel. To night a meeting will be held at Harlingen for the purpose of ce menting the organisation of the Valley Amateur baseball league. Tomorrow bass season will open. Incidentally, dont forget the prise offered by the Batsell-Wells Sport ing goods house. IT is hard to predict Just what, the Valley boys will do at Ausbi when they run up against the cream of the state. Ballafont, one of our best bets, has had trouble with a trick knee this season. No particularly startling records were made in the county and district meets in this section. Poor tracks held the boys back somewhat, how ever. IF you are interested in the Val ley amateur league, you should be present at the meeting in Harlin gen tonight. The schedule will be formulated and a new president elected to fill the post recently re signed by Guy Trent of San Be nito. There is not a better fan or booster in the Valley than Guy. but he just couldn't find time to do the honorary Job Justice. Under such circumstances, it is a credit to him that he resigned. He was looking toward the best interests of the league. THEY are preparing for big things up at Mission Friday when U.S. GOLFERS LEAVE TODAY NEW YORK.

ILLVSTRATF.D GOLF (EDITORS NOTE—This is one of a series of articles by H de Eustaquio, winner of the recent Liberian national open. The champion shot a crane and a pair of pheasants in the closing rounds to defeat Torup Greens for the Liberian title*. TODAY’S lesson concerns the hachee shot. The correct stance for this difficult but pleasing blow is illustrated below. This stroke should be used only in extreme cases where the golfer gets no satisfaction from references to the golf ball's family tree. The greatest of care should be taken not to advance the left foot too far when attempting a hachee. I could name no less than 27 Lib erians who have lost their great toe by not correcting this fault. The Liberian government makes all golfers addicted to the hachee carry a kit. containing a saw. a bottle of iodine and a large roll of gauze. This law was recently passed by the Liberian htmse of lords. Rumor haa it that a heavy lobby backed by Blayer <Sr Blayer shoved the measure through after a long ftllibuster. The general public seem* opposed to the kit-for-hacheers law. The Saturday Evening Boast and the Literary High Jest are conducting straw votes looking toward repeal of the oppressive measure. The outstanding hacheer of all time was an American woman by the name of Carry Nation. Using a brisk, short stroke, she practiced the hachee constantly. She did her most effective work on swinging doors large mirrors and suds counters. In order to illustrate the hachee shot In local terms, you will under stand if we recommend its liberal use on holes Nob. 7 and 14 at the Junior golf course. Do what your conscience dictates on these holes after burning 10 strokes and you will automatically execute a per fect hachee.

Shreveport mounted to the top of the percentage column as a re sult of Beaumont’s disaster, with Beaumont, Houston and Wichita Falls the other three ranking teams in that order. The fall from grace of Dallas to the tune of three straight losses to Houston—yesterday's by the score of 5 to 2—was emphasized by the size of the crowd of the home field generously estimated at around 400 cash paying customers.
