Newsmen Vote Jesse Owens Star of Century NEW YORK. (ANP). Jesse Owens, the all-time great athlete who broke three world records and tied a fourth in a relatively | few minutes one spring afternoon, i has been voted the greatest track ' star of the past 50 years. The slender, amiable Negro sprinter was voted that honor by 201 sports editors and writers in a poll by the Associated Press. No man in the history of track can boast the accomplishments of Owens, who in 1936 shattered the myth of Aryan superiority in Ber lin by winning the 100 and 200 meter dashes, the broad jump, and running a leg on the winning 400-meter relay team. Previously, for the Ohio State university, he set new world marks in the 220-yard low hur dles, the 220-yard dash, leaped 26 feet, inches for the broad jump record, and tied the 100 yard dash record—all in an after noon’s work. In Chicago, where Owens is an executive of a Loop drygoods store, he commented, “the great est thrill of my life was the Ber I lin Olympics.” He referred to the day that Adolf Hitler man aged to rush from the stadium in order to avoid shaking hands with him and other Negro champions. However, his feat on May 25, 1935, in the Big Ten track meet at Ann Arbor, Mich., was the most spectacular of his accomplish ments. Sports scribes say it is doubtful that another Owens will come along, in the next half cen tury to break three world track records and tie one—in one day. Today Owens is 36 years old and the father of three daughters, one a freghman at his alma mater, Ohio State university. During basketball season, he helps pro mote the Harlem Globetrotters, whose headquarters are in Chi cago. Shortly after his Berlin inva sion, Owens made headlines as a bandleader, and by racing a horse in Cuba. It is reported that he lost around $25,000 in a baseball promotion in 1939.
