Show rm.- - TIIE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH THE pink-haire- d gentleman with a touch of gray In hli thatch was watching one of hit Olympic vaulters shooting at 14 feet. His name was Dean Cromwell, head coach of the U. S. Olympic track team for the year 1948 desti-nation London. Cromwell has been head track coach at Southern California since Charley Paddock K JmI was a kid and Fred Kelly was a hur-dler. That means a long parade of years. The first query fired at head coach Cromwell was not too sensa-tional: "How ara we fixed for the next Olympic Gil Dodds games?" "All set," Crom-well said. He ought to know. He has turned out more Olympic winners In his day and time than any coach I ever ran across. "I figure It this way," the head coach continued, "with thousands ol American kids In training kids and older men with from 300 to 500 tiack coaches who are the best In the world, how can we lose? We've made a great showing In every Olymplo so far. We should do the same in this one. We are better equipped than any other nation. "Oh, we won't mop up. The Swedes will be tough at the mile or the 1,500 meters. The Finns will be tough at 5,000 and 10,000 meters. Here and there someone else will pick up a victory. But we have too much manpower, are too ably coached to lose out. The Swedes may need one or two of those 4.02 or 4.03 milers with the way Gil Dodds is running. We'll have some good sprinters, some good jumpers and pole vaulters, but I can't see any long-distan- men now who can run with some Finns and Swedes who were running for 0 to 10 miles when they were mere youths only 10 years old. "We don't have many athletes who like the grind of training for 5,000 or 10.000 meters. Most of them want the dashes, the hurdles or the half mile. We won't have any Jesse Owens around, but Mel Patton can travel a bit. It Is bound to be a good team." Picking the Team Explaining the procedure for pick-ing the team, Cromwell said the big showdown will come in the Intercol-legiate games In Minneapolis and the A.A.U. game in Milwaukee, both championship tests. "It has been suggested that we take the six best men for each event in the two meets making 12 men all told," Cromwell added. "We won't need that many. In any event the winners in these two champion-ships held in June will be the ones who get the calL It will be all aboard for London only for those who prove their place in these two big championships." This should be simple enough. Hundreds of track coaches covering the vast athletic map of the United States soon will start getting their stars in shape. The main idea will be to get the Olympic possibilities or probabili-ties ready for the Intercollegiate and the A.A.U. games. "I don't know who the best men are today," Cromwell admitted. "Neither does any other coach. But they soon will be popping up all over the map a few of them great, some of them good, others not so good. The East and the Midwest are strong. The South and the South-west are far from weak. The world has been better off before, but these next games will be among the best we've had. Perhaps they can help create a better feeling." Forty Years of Drouth Probably the top running race of any track meet is the mile or the 1,500 meters. Here we have a com-bination that demands both speed and stamina, especially when you get down in the low four-minu- te class. But how many know that it has been Just 40 years since an entry from the United States ever won this major event In Olympic com-petition? The last American to fin-ish in front was Mel Sheppard, in London, in 1908. Since that time the British, the Finns or some other foreign nation has taken over the job of mopping up in this long dis-tance event. Back in 1938, in the games at Ber-lin, we seemed to have a shining chance with Glenn Cunningham on the job. But Cunningham couldn't handle the fast flyer from New Zealand, who set a new Olympic record. This was Jack Lovelock, who ignored time and yet set a record. He ran only fast enough to win. Cromwell has been looking for some time at our record at the mile or 1,500 meters. "I'd sure like to end that losing streak this summer," he said, "but the way those Swedes can cover the distance makes it tough. They've bad two that broke 4.02 for the mile Ander-son and Hagg. That's too fast for us. i fy ; V-T'i- y v 4- """Vs. i S FAST BUCK . . . Gripped by nos-talgia for the Old South, suh, ltcp.

However, it is difficult for the Lrcon to visualize just how photography can be used whose husband was still In the South Pacific, was brought In for photographs. Her record, when she entered the hospital, stated that a tumorous growth, thought to be ma-lignant, had formed in the iris of the right eye and therefore the eye should be removed. The surgeon in charge at the New York Eye and Ear infirmary was not in full accord with this diagnosis and did not feel that this patient should lose an eye without further study. He ordered photographs taken of the condition every month, carefully measuring the size and comparing with the previous plates. At the end of a year the growth had not expanded in any direction, these measure-ments proved. During the following year pictures were taken every two months and careful checks were made against the first plates. It has been fully determined, up to the present time, that the growth is not malignant, and this grateful young woman still has her eye today." Movies taken in color and used for teaching purposes are a part of Mrs. Brown's daily work. These films of rare and delicate opera-tions performed at the infirmary are being used to guide and teach a new generation of eye surgeons throughout the Americas and as far away as India and the Philippines. In addition to routine work, classes in medical photography are conducted for graduate students in ophthalmology. Thus the young spe-cialists who train here can take with them to the small communities throughout the country a knowledge of ophthalmic photography that will help them trace the progress of eye diseases and their treatments, thus many times saving the sight of an eye otherwise lost.

Ho Track or Train But Railroad Pays Regular Dividends ADRIAN, MICH. Although it hasn't operated a train or collected a fare for nearly a century, the Erie and Kalamazoo railroad again is making its semi-annu- payment to stockholders. Now forgotten by all except his-torians and its fourth and fifth gen-eration stockholders, the Erie and Kalamazoo ranked as the oldest railroad west of Schenectady, N. Y. Although the railroad has long been inoperative, it derives a regu-lar income from lease of its original right-of-wa- y to the New York Cen-tral railroad. The present dividend amounts to $9,000 after deductions for taxes and expenses. Last year the E. and K. paid $19,500 in divi-dends. Incorporated by the Michigan ter-ritorial legislature on April 22, 1833, the E. and K. was capitalized for $1,000,000 but only $300,000 in stock was issued. It originally was authorized to operate between Lake Erie and "the navigable waters of the Kalamazoo river," but It was destined to run only between Port Lawrence (now Toledo, Ohio, but then part of Michigan) and Adrian, a distance of 35 miles. By 1836 track had been laid from Port Lawrence to Adrian and the first horse-draw- n train clattered over the wooden rails in October. ' 4 1p44i"3 .Uti 9WW-- NO PAUPER . . . E. T.
