HAHN’S TRIBUTE TO ROSE
A SPORTSMANLIKE tribuL© to his old rival, Randolph Rose, is contained in an interview with Lloyd Hahn, the famous American runner, in a New York paper. Ranking Rose among the world’s best, Hahn remarked: “He is a big powerful runner, with great courage and persistency, and I should say that his only trouble would be to keep his weight down. A distance man can’t afford to carry superfluous weight. I think if Rose goes to the Olympic Games this year, he will have a great chance.” Weil, Rose won’t be there to fight his battles over again with the Boston A.A. star, but it may be observed that as his American friends would say. Hahn has “said a mouthful.” Excessive poundage settled Rose’s chances in England a couple *of years ago, and although Hahn was too good a sportsman to say so, it did not help the American to reach his best form in New Zealand in 1926. Nobody would be better pleased than his many friends in New Zealand to see Hahn pull off the Olympic half mile title at Amsterdam next August.
