4 Tuesday, March 5, 1935. THE DECATUR REVIEW PAGE ELEVEN PURPLE COACH LOOKS OVER SPRING SCHEDULE Breaks Records DuringPractise 16 Years Old Adolpli Kief er "Ready" for Big Time Competition. CHICAGO (UP) Adolph Kiefer, 16, the only person ever to swim 100 yards on his back in less than a minute, broke a couple of world's records today just to show his trainer he's "about ready" for big time competition. But Adolph's trainer. Big Stan Brauninger, was convinced already.

"He could've broken any of these backstroke records a year Brauninger said. "But I kept him under wraps until he quit growing so Kiefer, a tall, solid youngster with an infectious smile, rose from the pool and trotted toward Bruan-inger. He'd just slipped through 50 yards of water in 27 seconds, one and one-tenth seconds faster than the approved world mark His breath was even and he looked fresh enough for fast mile. He always looked that way, Brauninger said, even when he climbed from a crowded pool, during an interscholastie meet last week alter winning the 100-yard backstroke event In 59.8 Seconds something many experts had predicted never would be accomplished. Kiefer is entered in a Chicago meet Friday and an exhibition Saturday at Indianapolis, He smiled in embarrassment and said "maybe" when Brauninger told him he was in shape to take every record up to 1,000 yards.

"He's too modest," Brauninger said. "He doesn't know how fast he really is. Why, every time he steps into a pool he ties or betters a world record without half trying." In demonstration, Kiefer slipped into the tank and did a three-lap 7S yards in 4 seconds. The record is 45.8. Although Kiefer's forthcoming campaign is his first real bid for National swimming fame, he already has three marks up for consideration as world's records.

Clipping 46 seconds off the 500 yard backstroke mark of 6 minutes, 48 seconds, was his most notable achievement. He swam 400 meters in 5.18, which is 24 seconds better than the record and 27 seconds better than any American time. His best official time for the 150-yard event is 1:35.6, which is 2.4 better than the accepted record. his record 6f the early campaign to move up with Laffoon. He seor' ed his one victory in the Agua Caliente open.

Harold (Jug) McSpaden, Kansas City pro who was the sensation of the California tournaments and medal leader a month ago, has dropped to third place with an average of 72 even tor 22 rounds. He is the only winner of two major tournaments during the winter, with the San Pranclaco and Sacramento opens safely tucked away. Up among the names of the youngsters who are showing the way are two which have figured in many links battles through many a year Walter. Hagen, winner of the Gasparilla open and second at Sacramento, and Mae Smith, winner at Oakmont. In 26 rounds Hagen has averaged 72 23-26 strokes, while Smith has an even better average of 71 3-10, but he has played only 10 rounds.

The Chicago pro and Henry Pickard, newcomer' to the Dig time from Hershey, have identical one tournament victory apiece and an average of 71 12-13 strokes in 26 rounds, official figures released yesterday by the Professional Golfers association reveal. Iaffoon remained in the ruck for awhile this season, a couple of strokes from the lead, but in recent tournaments has opened a burst of low-scoring to pull to the top. His cards include 278 in the Oakmont open; 280 in the Agua Caliente open; 281 In tht Arizona open, which he won, and 282 in the Gasparilla open.

Ke i-n't sure when he will get such a speedway, for no one successfully can guess nature, but he believes March will be rolling toward the 'twenties before cords again bite the sand. Sir Malcolm revealed his plans tn "wait it out" in a talk with the rress today, following the criticism r.e drew for not making a go of yesterday.

Ei erv Little Thing Counts "Try and see it my way, chaps," he sa d. "I've got a perfect car a machine which, under the right conditions, is capable of lifting the record to a figure really worth shooting at. I don't want to waste it on a beach which, while it's absolutely flawless for the average motorist, is not fit for speeds upward of 300 miles an hour. Please realize this the difference 1 between the 272.108 I did in 1933 and the 300 I'd like to do this year is one second. One second, mind you.

Po you know what a tiny difference that is? Let me have two slips of Bluebird's wheels, two bumps that her off the ground, and I've lost a second. Can you blame me for being particular? After all, there's $200,000 wrapped up in her, 22 of engineering brain, and wouldn't it be a shame not to give her a chance?" Campbell Sensitive It wasn't a happy Campbell who told of how he planned to wait i' out if it took all summer. The man is sensitive, and he feels, probably with some cause, that Daytona Beach officials, who him to make the run, and who welcomed him with widespread arms, are wearied of his describing the beach as unfit.

"You see," Campbell said, "they don't understand. To them the beach is perfect. They ride over it in a passenger car at 85 and, "Can't do it, you know. It may come today, tomorrow anytime, and when it does I want to be here to give Bluebird her head, feeling no bumps, think it flawless.

But, oh, how different it is at 270. Then the smallest ripple becomes a gully, the tiniest shell a boulder. May Wait Till 18th Campbell made it clear that unless he went for the record within the next two days he probably would be forced to wait until the 18th for a full moon and flood tides. For some reason he has a hunch that the next two days may give him a perfect beach, Asked Bowling Scores and let the ol' girl do what know she can do.
