Old Stars Shine A U Champs At Lincoln Neb
The 1927 outdoor track and field championships of the National Amateur Athletic Union are in Lincoln Nebraska. Roland Locke, likened to Charley Paddock, could set a new world record in the 220 yard dash if conditions are favorable. Harold Osborn likely repeats in decathlon and high jump. Alva Martin, famed half miler, seeks relief from a long streak of bad luck after a Chicago result where a false track length nullified a potential 1:51.7 880 yard mark.
