McLEMORE’s sports wrap eyeing feats of track and racing stars
United Press sports columnist notes Dean Cromwell’s claim that a four minute mile is near and a young athlete may raise the high jump mark to fifteen feet.

The column also narrates Jill the Shipperke’s baby nursing devotion and recalls Hank Luisetti’s 30 point game era amid California sports chatter.
