Controversy still rages over the result of the heralded ‘iM:ile of the -Century’ at Princeton Saturday when Sydney woggierson, world record holder, flnisntd fifth in a field of five after loading to the Ind. 800 yards. .

Here is how Walter Gilhooly views the “aocid "’ that knocked the English :'un.nez.' off stride:

A Svontoneous cheer went up from his teammates already in the locker room. as he entered and pas- sed ger Joe McCarthy's

Iprlvate office to confer with Bar-

row and-Mocarthy. Soon Barrow came out, and in s gruff voice an- nounced to newspapermen:

“I have bad news for you fellows."

in dead silence he read the phys- ic an's report.

Gehrig emersed from the rivate office, went to‘ his locker on start- ed to change into his uniform. For a while others were hesitant about approaching him, but his cheerful an and bubbling good nature soon

pped the banner.

“I have to accept the bitter with the sweet," he ss d philosophically. “If this is my finish I'll take it."

He said he never dreamed what his trouble was. other than that “somethingmwas wrong.“

“Had I own I'd have quit long ago," he said. Asked if he would take along rest, he replied:

“What better rest could I have than tust being with the boys every day. I tell you, I never got such a kick in my life as when I received a birthday wire from them. My eyes really filled up."

Barrow said Gehri

Gehrig compiled an amazing record in his 16 full years in the majors. He led the American League batsmen in 1934 with an average of .363,’ he scored 100 runs or more for 13 years. and shares with Babe Ruth the record for drlving in more than 100 runs a year for a 13-year span, leading the American League in that de- partment five times.

At. the and of the 1938 season Gehrig was second to Ruth in the greatest number of long hits-—-with 1,l90. He hammered out 535 two base hits, 161 three basers 494 home -runs over the 16-year

span.

In 1922 he homered in six con- secutive games, twice with the bases full. He was second only to Ruth in the most bases on bail in his lifetime, getting 1,505 passes to Ruth's 2.056.

The records credit Gehrig with a lifetime batting average of .341 for 2.717 hits in 7,973 times at not. He drove in a total of 1.990 runs. and struck out 787 times
