committee OF men well up in such mat
ters were sent over next summer to
Parts TO watch the workings and de-
tails OF the handling OF the Olympian
games to be held there next spring.
Speaking Of these Olympian games,
] asked one of the head officials of the
A. A. u. the other day what plans that
organization had formed in regard to
sending over a thoroughly representa-
tive team of athletes to take part in
them as the recognized champions OF
this country. He replied that nothing
at all had yet been done. though the
matter had been mentioned informally
once or twice among the officers of the
union.
Several OF the larger universities
have already announced their intention
OF sending teams TO represent them in
Paris next year. so that the United
States is sure OF representation. Still
IL would be much more satisfactory IL
the a. A. l.. were to send team OF
representative American athletes, who
would thus officially represent US at
these international games. That body
seems TO be very dilatory in regard TO
such an important matter.

casual glance at the list of those en-

and not Willie is the name most worn
by these brassie wielders.
The notion that Willie was the name
par excellence OF professional golfers
from Scotland doubtless arose from the
fact that the first few to make n name
for themselves In America have that
cognomen. Willie Davis was the first
professional regularly employed on this
continent. He first went TO Canada. but
afterward took n position at the New
port links, whore he has been ever
