Olympic Games Information Cromwell Uses Psychology In Priming His Boys for Important IC4A Meet on July 1-2 If Southern California Wins This Year Trophy Will Come Into Its Permanent Possession As Result of Winning Fourth Leg In Ten Years; Cromwell Optimistic on Trojan Outlook By AL WESSON Dean Cromwell, whose coaching career at the University of Southern California started so long ago that it is reported to reach back to the days when Los Angeles was a Spanish outpost, is going lightly on the track workouts but heavily on the psychology as he prepares his Trojan squad for the defense of S. C.'s national intercollegiate championship at Berkeley July 1 and 2. From time to time, the genial Dean in casual conversation with one or two of his seniors will lead them past the Trojan trophy room in the Student Union building. Looking through the glass door at the athletic prizes, Dean will point to the I. C. A. A. A. A. cup where it shares the place of honor with Southern California's national championship football trophy and say, "Pretty mug, eh Frank?" or Bob, or Art, or Dick, or Jimmy, or Cliff, as the case may be. "Wouldn't you like to be able to turn that over to the university this year for keeps?" As was the case with Coach Howard Jones in football last fall, Dean Cromwell has the greatest collection of senior athletes in S. C.'s history. Just as seven of the eleven men who went out on the field to dethrone Notre Dame as football champion were seniors, Cromwell will send to the national championships a track squad in which the burden of victory will rest principally on boys in their final year of varsity competition for S. C. Stanford is threat Having tentatively entered 32 men in the I. C. 4-A meet, Cromwell has hopes of seeing approximately 18 of although Paul's 23.5 seconds mark is the best made by a Trojan low hurdler this season, he is an uncertain starter in this event because of a recent injury to a leg muscle. Meier is again conceded a good chance to score for Stanford here. Shot put—Stanford is certain to score heavily here and may take the first three places with Gray, Lyman and LaBorde. Bob Hall of S. C., winner last year, is conceded little chance to place as Jones of New York U. Gilbane of Brown and DeBerry of California all have marks considerably better than his best so far this season. Hall's victory last year, however, was a big surprise and Troy's great "come through" athlete may fool the dopesters again. Discus throw—Bobby Jones of Stanford, winner last year, appears to be better than ever this season and is doped to retain his championship. LaBorde and Gray are also victual certainties to place high up. Hall was second place winner. last year and S. C. again has hopes that he may break up the great Stanford. 10th Olympic Haile (Continued) 7, p.m.; Aug. 8, 9, p.m.; Aug. 10, 11, p.m.; Aug.

BOXING: Au Jones has the greatest collection of senior athletes in S. C.'s history. Just as seven of the eleven men who went out on the field to dethrone Notre Daine as football champion were seniors, Crömwell will send to the national championships a track squad in which the burden of victory will rest principally on boys in their final year of varsity competition for S. C. Stanford is threat Having tentatively entered 32 men in the I. C. 4-A meet, Cromwell has hopes of seeing approximately 18 of them place. Of these 18 men, he figures that from nine to 12 will be the seniors, and that they must score from one-half to two-thirds of the Trojan points. Therefore, it is largely up to Southern California's veteran stars to come through once more if their university is to win its fifth national intercollegiate track championship during the past eight years and gain permanent possession of the prized I. C. A. A. A. cup that would go with such a victory. Looking over the chances of victory for Troy in this historic track and field classic, Coach Cromwell finds that Stanford, first place winner in 1927, '28 and '29 and runner up to Troy in '30 and '31, will again be S. C.'s chief threat, and he summarizes the situation hopefully somewhat as follows: 100-yard dash—Frank Wykoff, victor in '30 and '31, is again S. C.'s hope for first place, despite the difficulty he has been having all season with an injured back and a recent defeat by Bob Kiesel of California. By July 1, Frank is expected to be in better condition than at any time during the past three months. Leslie Ball may pick up a point in this event despite the unusually fast field. 220—Roy Delby is Troy's only entry here and is conceded an outside chance to place. Les Hables, who placed second for Stanford last year, may again score heavily for the Indians if he can get back into condition. The Stanford star has been handicapped by a variety of serious ailments this season but he is a game runner who may be able to make a successful comback both in this season and next year. Eastman Highlight 440—Ben Eastman is regarded as a cinch winner for Stanford, but Southern California looks to Art Woessner, who was third in this meet last year, for a high place. Whether Ed Ablowich, the rapidly improving sophomore, can also place for S. C. is problematical as he will be competing against many speedy easterners, among them Steele of Pennsylvania and Whitney of Calgate who placed last year and Carr of Penn, Derby of Princeton and Warner of Yale. If Capt. Al Hables of Stanford is in shape, he will be another tough one to beat. 880—First place is again conceded to the flying Eastman, but with Dave Foote Bill McGeagh and Dick Wehner better than his best so far this season. Hall's victory last year, however, was a big surprise and Troy's great "come through" athlete may fool the dopesters again. Discus throw—Bobby Jones of Stanford, winner last year, appears to be better than ever this season and is doped to retain his championship. LaBorde and Gray are also victual certainties to place high up. Hall was second place winner. last year and S. C. again has hopes that he may break up the great Stanford combination. Javellin throw—Southern California's hope is Sophomore Frank Williamson, who twice this season has defeated Ray. fourth place winner for Stanford in the I. C. 4-A last year. Both boys are expected to be among the first five. Graber Favored Pole vault—Bill Graber, defending champion for C. S., will find the field cluttered with great vaulters. Among them are Miller of Stanford and Pool of California, who recently tied with Graber for first in the California Intercollegiate at 13 feet, 10 inches; Lee of Yale, who has done 14 feet; and Williamson and Pierce of Yale and Sutermeister of Harvard, who have reached 13:6. Because of his outstanding performance of last year in this big meet when he won with a record vault of 14 feet,½ inch, Graber is conceded the edge over the field. May Exceed Point Total High jump—O'Connor of Columbia, defending champion, will find four Trojans, Bob Van Osdel, Will Brannan, Jim Stewart and Duncan McNaughton, after his title. Southern California's entries have all cleared six feet, four inches or better and the Trojans are hopeful of piling up points here with at least three place winners. Broad jump—Dick Barber of Southern California, winner of the I. C. 4-A championship last year, has leaped 25 feet, 5 inches in competition and is backed to repeat his 1931 victory. Norman Paul is also expected to place for S. C., while Curtis McFadden is given an outside chance. Butler of Stanford picked up points last year with a third place and may again be up among the top five. That the burden of point scoring will be placed on the seniors is shown by the fact that 13 of the Trojans mentioned as possible place winners are in their final season of competition. They are Wykoff, Delby, Woessner, McGeagh, Wehner, Halstead, Payne, Bills, Carls Martin, Hall, Stewart and Barber. Barring injuries, illnesses or other unforeseen misfortunes, Coach Cromwell in summarizing Southern California's chances goes against the theory that all college coaches are pessimistic by anticipating that Troy will at least equal and probably exceed who was third in this meet last year, for a high place. Whether Ed Ablowich, the rapidly improving sophomore, can also place for S. C. is problematic as he will be competing against many speedy easterners, among them Steele of Pennsylvania and Whitney of Calgate who placed last year and Carr of Penn, Derby of Princeton and Warner of Yale. If Capt. Al Hables of Stanford is in shape, he will be another tough one to beat. 880—First place is again conceded to the flying Eastman, but with Dave Foore, Bill McGeagh and Dick Webner, the Trojans expect to score, although not heavily in the fact of the eastern competition. Mile—Cliff Halstead finished just out of the point column for Southern California last year and he is conceded a bare chance to place this season. Such stars as Pen Hallowell, defending champion from Harvard, Nordell of New York University, Crowley of Manhattan College, Coan and McKniff of Pennsylvania and Mangin and Martin of Cornell make it almost impossible for a western runner to break through. Two-mile—Earl Callahan, the best Trojan in this event, is not given much chance in view of the speedy eastern field headed by Joe McCluskey, Fordham's famous distance star. Callahan would have to cut his best time of 9:41:8 by about 15 seconds to place. Strong In Hurdles High hurdles—Although the big red-headed Eugene Record of Harvard is favored to retain the championship he won in this event last year, Southern California's Jeddy Welsh, Jimmy Payne and Joe Bills should make it tough for him. Welsh, who was second in 1930, is expected to be Troy's best threat. Bill Stokes, who was fourth last year, has been handicapped all this season by an injured leg muscle and is not expected to repeat his place winning, but out of the Trojan entry list S. C. looks hopefully for two places. Stanford may score here with Gus Meier. Low hurdles—Record, who placed second in this event last year to Ernie Payne of S. C. who is now graduated, will be the favorite although Southern California will again have a big field to worry the Harvard star in Jimmy Payne, Norman Paul, Bill Carls and Bill Martain, Payne and Carls loom as the most logical S. C. choices to place. That the burden of point scoring will be placed on the seniors is shown by the fact that 13 of the Trojans mentioned as possible place winners are in their final season of competition. They are Wykoff, Delby, Woessner, McGeagh, Wehner, Halstead, Payne, Bills, Carls, Martin, Hall, Stewart and Barber. Barring injuries, illnesses or other unforeseen misfortunes, Coach Cromwell in summarizing Southern California's chances goes against the theory that all college coaches are pessimistic by anticipating that Troy will at least equal and probably exceed its winning point total of 46-6-7 for last year. S. C. To Be Host To Grid Coaches Southern California will be host to the nation's leading coaches from July 29 to Aug. 8 when members of the American Football Coaches association will be here for their mid-summer convention and for the Olympic games. Willis O. Hunter, director of athletics at the University of Southern California and chairman of the Pacific coast committee in charge of the convention, announced recently that the coaches association will have its business sessions July 29 at the Huntington hotel in Pasadena. The following week will be taken up with attendance at the Olympic games and the convention banquet will be staged on Aug. 7, the night before the Olympic night football game in which seniors of Southern California, Stanford and California will meet seniors of Yale, Harvard and Princeton. The final event for the coaches will be the big game in the Olympic stadium. According to Mr. Hunter, technical discussions on various phases of football will be directed during the business session by Howard Jones of Southern California, Glenn (Pop) Warner of Stanford, Andy Kerr of Colgate, Dana Bible of Nebraska, Bill Ingram of California, Paul Schissler of Oregon State, Bill Spaulding of U. C. L. A. and Jimmy Phelan of Washington. Japan for the history of this occasion, this summer tender for the pionship in the country.

The Beauty of a Day in Orange County Visitors to Southern California this summer will be brought face to face with one impossibility, namely; time to see the countless attractions and points of interest that have become more or less an everyday matter to long time residents of this section. Perhaps in no other place on earth is there offered such a wide diversity for the sightseer. There are lands where the principal beauty is that of landscape, others where the interest lies in historic buildings, commemorative of days long gone, still others where in the midst of many cities, social life dances its merry way along. Southern California is noted for no one of these things exclusively but here in the midst of a climate that proved first of all the magnet drawing thousands to this favored land, there are landscapes which in their beauty and magnificence are unsurpassed: there are missions built more than a century and a half ago filled with history, rich romantic attachment to the cause of the Master, sourced on through flery zeal for the cross. There is Los Angeles, fitting type of the great cities of the world new vibrant, and throbbing with youthful vigor... while all around and touching the borders of this metropolitan center are other lesser cities each with its own charm Its own individual attraction. The tourist who comes to Southern California should definitely set as a part of the itinerary one day in Orange County for this favored spot is indeed Southern California in miniature For 40 miles along its southern coast, the waves of the Pacific at once thunder with giant force against majestic cliffs or caress gently the sands of bathing beaches, white bands of ribbon between the ocean and the little cities where cluster the homes of those who love the sea. Further back begin the orange moves Green of leaf and gold of fruit they form a setting of beauty for the various communities which thrive upon the $450000 annual product of the soil of this most fertile county. Everywhere are naved roads and the visitor who wants to spend one of the most delightful days of his or her stay in Southern California should drive leisurely along these roads to enjoy the varied scenes of beauty constantly passing before the eye. The day's trip should include a visit to Mission San Juan Canalstrano where 150 years ago Fra Junipero Serra founded this mission and made disciples of the faithful Indians even while he taught them something of agriculture and the simple forms of handicraft. Your day in Orange County will be one that will stand out in memory as a most pleasant part of one of the most delightful summer vacations of your life. Finns Assault Olympic Marks Nation Is Enthusiastic Over Its Prospects in Contests to Be Held In L.A. While Paavo Nurmi's eligibility still Finns Assault Olympic Marks Nation Is Enthusiastic Over Its Prospects in Contests to Be Held In L.A. While Paavo Nurmi's eligibility still is a debatable point among the athletic authorities, Finland refuses to allow this question to dampen its enthusiasm for the Olympic games to be celebrated here from July 30 to August 14, inclusive. This is the statement of Runar Ohls, Finnish Olympic attache, who reports that a team of at least 45 athletes will arrive here on July 19, prepared to seriously challenge the United States for the honors in track, as well as represent their country in swimming, gymnastics; boxing, wrestling, cycling and the modern pentathlon. "In the last three Olympiads—at Antwerp in 1920, at Paris in 1924, and at Amsterdam in 1928—the Finns were second to the Americans on the cinderpath, an dthis year's team—even if Nurmi should be ineligible, which appears unlikely—is better balanced than any of the others," said Ohls. In Long Races "There will be no entrants in any race shorter than the 1500-meter run, in which even Larva, Purje and Lehtinen will wear the colors." Ohls declared. Larva will be the defending Olympic champion, having set a new record of 3:52.2 at Amsterdam in defeating Ladoumegue of France, who now holds the world's mark in the mile. "Lehtinen will be the best of the Finns in the 1500-meter run, as Ritola, who won the race in 1928, likely will devote his attention to the marathon. Iso-Hollo and Virtanen will be the other entrants." Ohls declares that if Nurmi runs he will attempt to retain the 10,000-meter title that he won at Amsterdam, while Iso-Hollo and Virtanen likely will double up this race. Strong In Events Finland will be particularly strong in the steeplechase, with Loukola defending his 1928 championship. Yrjola and Aki Jarvinen, first and second respectively at Amsterdam, again will compete in the decathlon. Matti Jarvinen, who has tossed the javelin 239 feet 3¼ inches for a world's record, is expected to lead the Finns in this event. Kalle Jarvinen will be the shot putter, his record being 15.55 meters. Porhola, who won the shot for Finland in 1920, has a record of 53.77 meters. There are outstanding performers in the discus, high hurdles, wrestling, boxing and other events which. Ohls Japan Seeking Olympic Honors Will Be One of the Strongest Contenders In Games This Summer Japan, for the first time in the history of this ancient and honorable nation, this summer will be a major contender for the unofficial team championship in the Olympic games. A nation that has advanced more rapidly in athletics during the last four years than any in the world. Japan will send to Los Angeles not only the biggest foreign contingent of athletes, but probably the greatest number of rooters of any competing country. With plans now definitely completed to bring to Los Angeles between 175 and 180 athletes, the Land of the Rising Sun is looking toward the 1932 games with every expectation of winning her full share of the Olympic honors. It is conceded by nearly every sports authority that if Japan's competitors in other sports are as able as her swimmers and track and field athletes it is certain that she will rank on equal terms with the United States, Great Britain, Finland, Germany and Italy in the struggle for team supremacy. Makes Strong Bid Japan is America's foremost rival in swimming and there are any number of experts who predict that Japan will win. Japan does not expect to keep pace with the United States and Finland in men's track and field athletics, but she does hope to battle Great Britian, Germany, Sweden, Italy and France on even terms, according to Dr. Ken Nakazawa, Olympic attache for Japan in Los Angeles. Furthermore, Japan's team of women athletes may surprise the teams representing Canada and the United States, Dr. Nakazawa predicted. The Japanese equestrian team originators of the new classic remark. Yrjola and Aki Jarvinen, first and second respectively at Amsterdam, again will compete in the decathlon. Matti Jarvinen, who has tossed the javelin 239 feet 3¼ inches for a world's record, is expected to lead the Finns in this event. Kalle Jarvinen will be the shot putter, his record being 15.55 meters. Porhola, who won the shot for Finland in 1920, has a record of 53.77 meters. There are outstanding performers in the discus, high hurdles, wrestling, boxing and other events which. Ohls believes, should assure Finland of a leading place in the forthcoming Olympics. 100 Classes Slated for Summer Quarter Approximately 100 evening classes are announced by Dean Ernest W. Tiegs for the summer quarter of University college, downtown extension division of the University of Southern California, which opens June 13 and closes July 22. Classes meet twice a week at Seventh and Los Angeles Streets, Los Angeles. Mammoth Lakes Road Will Open Soon Snow is being removed from the highway leading into the Mammoth Lakes, located near Bishop, and it is expected that this road will open in the near future. NAVIHOPI ROAD PASSABLE The Navihopi road which extends from the south rim of the Grand Canyon to Cameron, Arizona, is passable at this time. "Americans have good horses, but their horsemanship is not feared," has arrived in Los Angeles and is undergoing a period of intensive training preparatory to participation in the games. There are six riders under the command of Col. Kohei Yuasa. With them are twelve mounts, described as among the finest in the world. The entire team is in charge of Major Shunzo Kido. Rowing Races of Olympic Games Will Be Held Over Mile-and-Quarter L. B. Course Only a few miles from here in the city of Long Beach, preparations are going ahead for one of the major features of the Olympic games, the 16-day series of sports events, which will be held July 30 to August 14. The neighboring beach city is making ready for the rowing attractions of the Olympics. Fifty nations have announced they will send 2000 men and women athletes to Southern California for the games, and of that number more than a score have signified they will take part in the rowing competitions. Grandstands, judges' stand, press boxes, starting bridge and other structures of like character are in the construction stage at what will be known as the Long Beach Marine stadium. A boat house capable of accommodating 75 racing shells and a dressing building roomy enough for 100 oarsmen to change their attire at the same time also are being completed. William W. Monahan, student manager of University of California, Berkeley, and a widely recognized authority on rowing, is in charge. He reports hundreds of persons drive to the spot daily to inspect the progress already made. To further accommodate the public, a bureau has been opened in the Long Beach chamber of commerce building to dispense information about the games. Orders for reserved seats are taken, with mail delivery promised from the Los Angeles office of the games. Rowing, long one of the favorite sports of the games, exercises a peculiar fascination for many thousands of sports lovers. Skillfully handled by the finest Olympic rowers that the world can produce, the sculls and racing shells rise perceptibly in the water and seem to leap ahead with each stroke of the oars. The course, from start to finish, is visible from any spot along the banks. It is 15 miles in length, deep enough for a battleship and as straight as the art of engineering can produce. New Record Set In Disease Eradication A new record in eradication of the hoof and mouth disease which broke out in northern Orange county April 28, with the last affected stock slaughtered and buried by May 7, appeared certain, according to U.S. department of agriculture officials, who have found no further trace of the disease and have permitted restocking, beginning June 15. This apparent disposal of the disease in 10 days is 21 days shorter than the previous record. The longest time required was 18 months. To Our Friends who are coming to the Olympic Games On your visit to Los Angeles this summer you will want to make the most of your stay—May we offer a suggestion— Los Angeles will be crowded to the limit with visitors.
