...overwhelming favorite was a German-American youth who, at the advanced age of 23, is a senior at Pottstown, Pa., High School. A year ago most experts would have selected Spitz as a sure member of the Olympic team but very few would have chosen Gene Venzke, a tenacious miler, seasoned in road races that develop stamina rather than speed, celebrated for a long smooth stride and a tendency to come in second. When he finally won the Columbian mile at the end of last year's indoor season in 4 min. and 14! sec., observers began...
...year-old, 350-lb. Manhattan policeman who handles a 35-lb. weight as though it were a toy balloon; Percy Beard, a 23-year-old instructor in engineering at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, whose long skinny legs are well suited to the high hurdles; Leo Lermond, New York Athletic Club miler, who got off to practice on the way to Lincoln every time the train stopped; Wilson Charles, Oneida Indian decathlon champion, whose foremost rival was large and angular Jess Mortensen, onetime Southern California javelin-throwing champion; George Spitz, N. Y. U. freshman who high-jumped well over six feet when...

Eastman, said to have the most saving style of any middle-distance runner in history, won so easily that critics began to see how Stanford, with 16 men qualified for the finals to Southern California's 13, might pile up enough points to win the next afternoon...
Munroe, star quarter-miler, whose finish in the relays at Penn in April, 1930, has been talked of ever since, and who pulled a tendon in the mile relay at the H-D-C meet last winter after scoring in the 600, has jogged this spring in a vain effort to get back into shape...
