Fifteen Feet Says Ohio
State University Track

Columbus, O., Jan. 28—(UP)-Human feet probably have reached their fastest forward speed but their ability to propel the human body upwards should set new records for the pole vault and high jump within the Olympics. (AP) Snyder, Ohio State track coach and "father" of Olympic cinder stars.
With the advent of another calendar year, Snyder observed his eighth year as track coach of Ohio State and he can look back on a long list of record-breakers who were in his long
But after 14 years of connection with the cinder sport—he was assist-nt coach at Ohio State for eight years—Snyder believes there are new track worlds to conquer.
**Sprint Gains Doubled**
"It doesn't seem possible for anyone to break the mark of 9.4 seconds for the 100-yard dash now held by several men. But such events as the pole vault and the high jump will have higher ceilings," the gray-haired but comparatively young coach said.
He predicted the pole vault record height, now held jointly at 14 feet, $11\frac{1}{2}$ inches by Bill Setfon and Earl Meadows of Southern California, would be raised to 15 feet or "better." The present high jump mark, hold by Mel Waller, on of Snyder's Ohio State pupa, is 6 feet, $3-8$ inches. Snider thinks it will soon take better than 7 feet to hold the record, according to authorities may require 10 years he added.
Snyder also has ideas about stimulating the interest of ordinary sports fans in track as a spectacle.
"Indoor meets are especially adapted for spectators. For our coming indoor meets, we plan to run them over one hour and 10 minutes for the entire show. To take up the dull slackness between events, we're arranging such attractions as interschool football relays. We plan to show that track is thrilling when handled well," he explained.
Snyder was a track star in his own right as an Ohio State undergraduate before he received his diploma in 1925, along with the annual Big Ten conference athletic award. He became assistant to Riley Castenman, track coach, that year and later succeeded him.
A a few of Snyder's star pupils were Jesse Owens, Olympic sprint champion; George Simpson, spinner jacket Dave Albrighton, high jumper.

Trenton Scene
Of Grid Contests;
May Be 'Hope Bowl'
Trenton, Mo., Jan. 28. —(Special)
—An Associated Press sports writer
commenting on Missouri college
athletics recently said;
"Trenton is not in the Missouri College Athletic Union but that Missouri city is going to be the scence of some of the rivalry for the League football title in future autumn . . . Culver, Stockton and Tarkio, resuming grid relations after a lapse of several years, have selected a neutral field at Trenton for their battle-ground. The Trenton Chamber of Commerce will assist in promoting the event.
"Since Trenton is a hub of extensive north Missouri oil land leasing activity, perhaps, they'll call this the 'Hope Bowl' game."
Followers and proponents of the leasing play in the Trenton area are predicting that drilling in the Basin will have produced sufficient reason for calling the event the "Oil Bowl" when the time rolls around.
Teachers Called Backward For Stressing Homework
Philadelphia, Jan. 28—(UP)—High school students attending a forum conducted by the Drexel Institute of Technology complained that teachers who impose too much homework are "backward."
"Teachers who give us lots of homework don't understand us," one pupil said amid a round of applause. "They don't realize that our outside interests are at least equally important with our schoolwork."
The forum was attended by students represent 150 high school in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland.

Berlin—(UP)—A special helmet which will provide protection against shrapnel and falling debris in air raids soon will be available to Germans. The weaver does not come in contact with metal parts and it is light enough to be worn for a long time without discomfort.

- Historic Message Found
Hidden in Officer's Gun
By Youth
Chico, Cal—UP)A written order by Gen. George Custer to one of his officers in January, 1876, and which is believed to have a direct result on the historic "Custer's Last Stand" four months later has been found here in the butt of an old army pistol.
The discovery was made by Charles Billick, 15, who, through idiosyncrasy removed the walnut trips from the sides of a rusty old cap and hall pistolone of many in his father's collection.
From the corner of the metal frame fell a folded hit of paper, yellowed with age. A magnifying glass brought out the message, written in pencil, which read:
"General Crook: Hold regiment two days before attack Sioux encampment. — General Custer."
"January 28,1876.
The order is believed to be the one which resulted in the attack by General Crook on Feb. 7, 1876, on a Sioux encampment along the Missouri river. It was this attack, some historians believe, that spurred the Sioux tribesman to the foray of June 25, 1876, which resulted in

The writing on the note has been established as that of Cluster, by comparison with other existing specimens of his writings.
Further examination of the pistol has revealed the fact that ie belonged to a Capt. C. A. Newton, whose name is written in pencil on the thunder side of one of the walnut slabs. An exort is now being made to Washington to ascertain to what unit Newton was attached.
George Billick, whose son found the Custer note, remembers that he purchased the pistol 12 years ago from a second-hand dealer in Alameda. The pistol was made by E. Remington and Sons, and patented Sept. 14, 1858.
