AMAZING FEATS
World Records Created By Negro Athlete
Ann Arbor, Mich., May 25.; World records are going by the board before the amazing" athlove- ments of Jesse Owens, the Ohio State University negro alhlete.
At Evanston, Illinois last week,
Owens created a world record for the 220 yards low hurdles, returning time of 22.9 seconds, and equalled the world record for the 100 yards, doing the distance in 9.4-5 seconds. He also established new records for the meet- ing in the 220 yards dash and run- ning brond jump.
With a leap of 26 feet 8 inches, Owen to-day smashed Chuhei Kambu's brand jump record of 28 feet 21⁄2 in. made in Tokyo in 1931.
Earlier in the day, Owens equalled Frank Wykoff's record of 9.4 sceands for the 100 yards.
This amazing athlete then went on to break two more world records during the meeting.
