influence has done the most during the year to advance the cause of the
sportsmanship. Gunsinghen received the award in 1933.

1936 was the Olympic year and Glenn had the poorest indoor season
of his career. Outdoors however it was a different story. The Kansas
flier was undefeated when the boat sailed for Berlin with the American
vate team aboard. Glenn had won the final tryouts and now was set
to make the final bid for the Olympic championship, the only title whibh
had evaded his grasp.

“But vietory was to be denied him. Jack Lovelock, the slim New
Zealander, ran the race of his life and although Cunningham ran the
1500 meters faster than any human had ever run the distance before,
he could not match the pace of Lovelock who slashed more than a full
second from the world record. Cunningham finished second.

Cunningham did his best work indoors, running one mile in 4:08.7.
Outdoors his main acheivement was to winning the National AcAcUe a
1500 meter championship.

In 1938 Glenn enjoyed the greatest indoor season of his careers
At Dartmouth he ran the mile in 4:04.4, two seconds faster than any
man had ever run the distance before, and 211 season he cracked records
with abandon. He was undefeated at the mile and 1500 meters indoors
this years At the National A.A.U. meet he set a new indoor world record
for 1500 antere of 3:48.4.

Consequently the records now show that the boy they said might never
walk again is the world's greatest miler and probably the greatest miler
of all times. He holds the indoor and outdoor world records for the mile

and has run the mile under 4:10 three or four times as often as any
