Her efforts, however, were not the enough to carry her team, Cleveland Polish Olympic Wo- cham- men's Club, to the team pionship which was successfully defended by Tuskegee Institute of Alabama with 85 points. The Cleveland combine had 46-1/3 for runner-up honours,

KOVACS TRIUMPH

The best games of the day are lin Third Division, where Kowloon!

the meet Bowling Green Club Electricians at Austin Road and are at Kowloon Football Club home to the Prison Officers' Club. In their first meeting Electric won by three shots after a good game, but Bowling Club will have: home advantage this afternoon and are quite liable to turn the tables.

It was the first major grass of 38 feet 3 inches.-Associated tennis player from Oakland, Ca-

lif., won the 26th annual Nassau court triumph for the 20-year-old! invitation tourna-Kovacs, who was tenth in the na-) Country Club Iment recently by defeating El- tional rankings two years ago but wood Cooke of Portland, Ore., was unranked last year when hej 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4. played in only a few tournaments.

BREAKING ATHLETIC RECORDS

Larry Snyder, Ohio State track coach, takes pencil in hand, does a little figuring and comes up with what he calls "danger marks" for track and attained events, writes] Jerry Brondfield.

Once attained by an athlete, these figures, indicate that on a given day, under certain condi- of tions, the athlete is capable breaking the world record in his particular event.

As an example in his argument, Snyder uses that day in May, 1935, when Jesse Owens cracked three world marks and tied an- other at Ann Arbor.

"Jesse was in perfect form that day," says the coach. "The wind, the sun, the humidity was right. And because he was capable of attaining the proper danger marks in each event he proceeded to go! out and break the records.

"Any athlete can duplicate Jes- se's marks-even better them-if he comes up to his danger marks: in good shape," Snyder continues. "Many stars hit these marks often during their careers, but only on the right day can they go beyond that."

Here are Snyder's danger marks, with world records in parentheses: 100-yard dash, 9.0 (9.4): 220-yard dash, 21 (20.3); 440-yard dash, 47.1 (46.4); 880-yard run, 1.52; high hurdles, 14.4 (13.7): low hurdles, 23.2 (22.6); | high jump. 8 ft. 6 in. (6.94); two-mile run. 0.15 (8.56.8); pole vault, 13 ft. 0 in. (15-1%); broad jump, 25 ft. (26-8%); javelin, 200 ft. (253-45); discus, 160 ft. (189-635); shot put, 50 ft. (57-1). -

JUNIOR COLLEGE STAR HITS 9.3 UNOFFICIALLY These figures represent a great effort and probably would win 99 out of 100 dual meets. It is rea- a crack sonable to expect that sprinter who has bettered 9.6, might some day leave his blocks with the gun, get a good leg drive' in the first 15 yards and then hit the full extent of his natural speed and rhythm in the stretch.

If, as Snyder points out, he gets a day with the right meteorologi- cal conditions, and. a good fleld pushing him, he might tack up 9.3.

Harold Davis, the Salinas Junior: College freshman who came out of nowhere to win the National A.A.U. 100 and 200-metre crowns; has been clocked unofficially in 9.4 and has just started a career which has a good four years re- maining. Coast critics believe he' is the man to do 9.3 if anyone, will in this generation.
