27-Foot Jump Is
Big Barrier Today
LOS ANGELES (A>)_A 27-foot
broad jump is the mental barrier
today.
“But 28 feet is not out of the
question” says Jesse Owens, who
owns the world record in the broad
jump—26 feet 8% inches.» ,< • v ,
Owens set the mark at Ann Ar

time Ohio State sensation has
Been many attempts at his record

standard marks in track and field.
Owens, now in his mid-40s and
an official in the Illinois Youth
Council in Chicago, nominated
Gregg Bell as the possible record
breaker. He pointed out that Bell
has done 26-7 and is capable of
an even better performance.
Owens was in Los Angeles as
part of an Olympic fund-raising
campaign.
the recent report included a high
school addition, Lincoln School
buildings and East-side Element
ary School which are on the pres

Cannon’s First Pact
fas To Sell Oil,
End Adams Claims
HOUSTON (A>) K. S. (Bud) Ad
ams, owner of the Houston Oilers
of the American Football League,
said today Billy Cannon signed a
business contract with him per
sonally Dec. 29, 1959.
“This contract had nothing to
do with the Oilers,” Adams de
clared. “It was merely a contract
to sell our petroleum products in
the Louisiana area.”
The Los Angeles Rams of the
National Football League, who
are claiming the Louisiana State
All-American halfback charged
that this was a contract to play
professional football. Adams said
he signed Cannon to the personel
services contract because of his
tremendous following in the Louis
iana area “and if there’s anyone
who could sell gasoline it would
be the Billy Cannon service sta
tions.”
Answering the Rams’ charges,
Adams declared that “Cannon
signed a second contract, one with
the Houston Oilers, on Jan. 1, af
ter the Sugar Bowl game.
Concerning the Adams contracts
which supposedly include payment
of $100,000 at $33,333.33 per cent;
a $10,000 bonus, a 1959 car for
Cannon’s father, and half interest
in an oil company, the owner of
the Oilers said:
“If I hire a man his salary is
strictly confidential. We never
volunteer that information on any
of our employees. We consider
that a matter of personal nature.”
Adams said Pete Rozelle, for
mer general manager of the Rams
and new NFL commissioner, went
back on his word twice in the Can-

On Subsonic Testing
Wind Tunnel
Begins Work
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
Battalion Staff Writer
The subsonic wind tunnel lo
cated at Easterwood Airport is in
the final stages, and will be fin
ished and ready to begin commer
cial and other research testing
by May 7, according to Frederic
C. Hall, wind tunnel manager.
The original low speed testing
facility was begun in 1945 and
finished in 1946, designed for open
circuit operation, with air passing
through one end and out the other,
according to Hall. It saw no suc
cessful operation for ten years,
until a sum of over $180,000 was
given to the Research Foundation
by Temco Aircraft Corp. to be
used in completing the wind tun
nel.
“This sum was more than match
ed by state funds, and four major
modifications were made on the
facility. Completion of the wind
tunnel; an addition to the wind tun-
continuously circulate through the
tunel; an addition to the wind tun
nel building to house the test sec
tion and balance system; the bal
ance system itself, built by Dy-
nametrics, Inc. at a cost of $127,-
000 the restringing of power lines
from the college power plant and
installing new motor controls im
proved the tunnel,” said Hall.
On Nov. 21, 1958, the first test
run was made in the tunnel, and
since then, the wind tunnel staff
has been employed in adjusting
and developing the tunnel into an
accurate testing facility for aii
craft, according to Hall.
“The crazy thing about win
tunnels is that no two will per
form alike, and this one had it:
own idiosyncracies that had to be
dealt with, one by one. We hav:
finally completed what we believe
is necessary, and on Parents Week
end, Sat. May 7, we will period
ically run public tests on a model
in the tunnel.”
The tunnel, with a miximum di
ameter of 30 feet, and length of
158 by 40 feet, basically can per
form three tests: force and move
ment, pressure, and flutter tests
The flutter tests are used to de
termine how much an airplane’s
wings will “flutter” in speeds up
to 200 miles per hour on test
models of the actual aircraft.
To Compare Data
The model to be used on May
7 is a Temco Model 50, two-engine
plane which has been tested in the
wind tunnel at the California In
stitute of Technology. The men
testing the model plan to compare
the data received from California
Tech with the information they
get from their testing, and make
adjustments as necessary.
“The wind tunnel itself is not
used as a teaching aid, since the
total investment is well over
$500,000, but there is an oppor
tunity for those students who need
employment to get real ocmmer-
cial experience working in the wind
tunnel.
