MEMORA'BLE MEETS 0F THE PAST March 8; 1 19131 , PartlV of a Seri .es / \ By Wally Donovin (Author, All-Time Indoor Record Book) THE FO(!RTH PRINCETON INVITAJ"ION

The fourth annual Princeton Invitation meet held ip. Palmer Stadium on June 19, 1937 was one .of the/highlights of Princeton 1 s,190th annual commencem _ent weekend. Asa Buslmell added a few new features to the meet . .A220-yard low hurdles race and a two-mile steeple­ , ' chase displaced the 400-meter hurdles and the 120-yard high hurdles included in 1936. Instead of the 15 _cent admission fee charged tbe year before, · all tickets were ,$1 and every seat was reserved. _ The meet got underway at 4:30 p. m. with rain threatening and a crowd of 20,000 in the ., stadium. The two- was won by , a University of Southern California freshman, who started out in last place and won by three yards over Howard Welch of Cornell in the ordinary time of 9:28~ 2-. Ray Scars, the former Butler veteran who won this race in . 1935, was third yards behind Welch. It took a closing sprint by Zamperini to win this race · over the last qOyards as he outs printed W clch and Sears. John Donovan of Dajtmouth won the 220-yard low hurdles by two feet in 23. 6, tying the track record, He beat Hubert Reavis of Duke~ who nipped J. Kingsley .Lattimer of the New Yor•k A. C. for the runner-up spot. , Powerful Elroy Robinson of the San Fr;ancisco Olympic Club, the fastest half-miler in 1935 but out of action in 1936 with a broken anlde, ran a. front race from· gun to tape to' win the 880 by five yards in 1:51. 6, the year's fastest time. Lou Burns of Manhattan College; winner of the event in 1936, was second, beating Abe R,osenkrantz pf Eastern Michigan (then _Michigan Normal) by inches after a terrific stretch battle. Howie, Borek, former Manhattan star representing the 69th Regiment A .A., was fourth. RgbinsQn ran his first quarter in 53. 2 and passed the 800-meter mark in 1:51. o. Another winner from California was Cornelius "Dutch" Warmerdam of the ·01ympic Club who won the at 14'. His teammate, Jack Mauger, also cleared 14 1 'but Dutch earned first place on the basis of fewer misses. , former 'wo:dd record h01d.er, -- l was third at 13'6". 1 . Oklahoma graduate Floyd Lochner broke his own American record for the two-mile when 1he defeated Joe McCluskey of the New York A. C. by 20 yarqs in 9: 59. 3. Lochner _'s old record 9f 10; OL~5 had been set in the Sugar Bowl meet in New Orleans in De- c em be'r .~ , .,., . '• ' · The Brown twins (Delmer and Elmer) from North Texas State Teachers College firi-:­ jshed first and last in the 440. Delmer was the winner by a foot over George Arnold of the Millrose A .A. in 48. o~Jimmy Herbert, the great indoor stat of the ,New York Curb Exchange A. A. , was third and Dennis Shore of South Africa was fourth. Shore challenged early in the \ j race But faded -badly in the scrambl'j;)for the tape. The(next event was the rpile, As usual, it turned out to be a real thriller in this Mecca of the Milers. Although it had not rained, the atmosphere ~was heavy as starter Johnny McHugh\got the field underway, Gene Venz~e, the . New YorkA.C. vete:r;an, apparently wa.$ set on breaking the world record for the 1320 as he sped the first lap in 58.I6. Only Don bash of Indiana stayed with Venzke, wno had a five-yard lead at the quarter -:_mile mark., , 1932 Olympic 1500-me~er ch~mpion from , stayed five yards in back of Lash

followed by Glenn Cunningham and Archie San ~Romani s;~. ,· ! J - Lash was close to Venzke through the sec'?nd quarter and the time at tl,ie half was ,,' 2: oo.2. Beccali, Cunningham and Saµ Romani were now 18 yards1behind Venzke. -In the third quarter Lash, suddenly :realizing he was following a decoy, slowed down and Venzk~, opened r up a lead of 25 yards. ~t this point Venzke quit the track, having race three-quarters in 3: 01. 4, missing the reco:rd by only qight-tenths of a second. · La~ll then became ,the l~a~er o~er t~e rest of _the field and ·w~as10 yards in front. Cunningham and San Romani moved up onLash and closed. the gap as the slim Hoosier slowed down after his fast early pace. Lash'had -passed the half-mile mark in 2:01 behind Ve11zke's ·j rapid pace. Cunningham and San Romani both passed Lash midway down the backstretch of . the last lap. San Romani cba)lenged Glenn just befor ·e the turn but Cunningham fought him off. , , Lash wa:s still with them as they went around the turn in Indian file'.

MURRAY HALBERG (New Zealand) ' 173 points

Murray Halberg is yet to be defeated over this distance in a top class time. H~ has had two great victories in the two internatio11al -chaxppionship races he-ha,_senteted, th~ 1958 British Empire Games three 'mile and the 1060 Olympic 5,000. In each case, he put on a _ devastating burst of speed over the final three laps which both confused and routed his oppo­ nents : His tremendous ability as a long distance runner ls even more amazing in view of his handicap, a lame left arm, which 1he has overcome to a great degree. If he had the· chance to compete as often and against so many top class runners as the Europeans do every year, ,, J Halberg would be much higher in these ratings. 1.
