Early Performances of Fastest Human Were Only Fair
SIMPSON BIG
FOOTBALL FAN
His Greatest Thrill Was
Catching Pass, Not
Breaking Record
By W. D. 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. U cham

State freshman uon the 100-vard

THREE big things doing today In
Valley sport circles. A fourth is
just around the corner. 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.

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.

About the biggest news In the
Texas league today was Beaumont's
fall from the seat* of the mighty,
brought about by the 10 to 8 trim
ming from the Wichita Falls Spud
ders coupled with Shreveport's 4
to 2 win over San Antonio.
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. Skipper
Jakie Atz will send his Steer against
the Exporters today and tomorrow.
Hoping to bolster up the weak sup
port accorded by home town fans,
the gates will be thrown open by
the new owner. Sol Dreyfus*.
Dallas' loss threw the Steer* into
a tie for sixth and seventh with the
Cubs of Waco. The Cubs did them
selves proud at Fort Worth, taking
the second straight game 4 to 1
from the Cats, who are but a Jump
ahead in the percentage sheets.
Waco journeys to Shreveport to
day. while San Antonio, entrenched
in eighth position. Jumps from
Shreveport to For* Worth.
Statistics on yesterday's games
credit Shreveport’s win to the ex
cellent hurling of spitball artist
; Oscar Tuero; Wichita Falls’ victory
j to taking ad\*antage of the breaks:
Waco's to a home run by Piet with
two on board, and Houston's to bet
