OUR ATHLETES R o


-
During the past week there sailed from
America rs as fine athletes as ever trod
q cinder path. They represented vari-
uos colleges and universities in the East
and West, and were but a portion of the
quota of American athletes who are go
ing abroad to carry Americas colors to
the front in the English championships
and the Olympic games. Forty-odd in
all will be the American contingent,
N II they do not carry away the ma
jority of the prizes in the events in
which they participate, the experts are
far of In their calculations.
The largest representation has been
sent abroad by the University of Penn
sylvania. Thirteen men will carry the
red and blue to the front. Seven have
gone from Princeton, five from Syracuse,
four from Georgetown n Chicago,
while of the five who will represent une
New York Athletic Grub abroad three are
Yale men, one Columbia. Still two I'M
attached athletes are to be accounted
for, one of whom comes from Williams
and Inc other from CORNELL Quite a
delegation, and one bound to be heard
from.
The plan of both the Pennsylvania and
Princeton teams is to appear in but the
London championships and in lie Olym-
pic games but later they may concern
themselves with the Paris events.
When the personnel of the American
representation is considered it will be
found that it Is we'll worthy of consid-
Grafton. 1t contains the holders of eight
worlds records and no less than six
American champions. In every single
event Of the track programme the in
tercollegiate champions are represented,
while two of the five field champions are
also among the number.
The principal star and main depenu-
ence of the American team is Alvin c..
question but that Kraenzlein is the SUI
perior Of any hurdler and broad jumper
in the world, while as a sprinter it is
doubtful if many excel him. Kraenz-
lein will be counted on to win at least
three events abroad, and possibly more,
while he may win as many as six.
