OLYMPIC SECRETARY
SAILS FOR ATHENS

NEW YORK. March 16.-James E. SuIli-
van. secretary of the American committee
OF the Olympic games of 1905, to be held at
Athens, sailed yesterday on the steamship
deutschland OF tho MISUNDERSTANDING
line on the way to Athens. Before his de-
parture Mr.. Sullivan in speaking OF the
American team, said:
The team as selected is the best that an
American committee could possibly select
at thls time of the year. After the Ameri-
can committee was appointed the members
requested the Olympic committee at Athens
70 chanse the date of competition. but
AFTER II was learned that this could not be
done, and that the Greek committee posi-
lively insisted on April being the date the
american committee proceeded to do the
best 1t could under the conditions from
the material that presented itself
I'VE could not select a team of America s
strongest athletes simply because college
men could not make the trip at this season
OF the year. Those who have not been Sc
lected are men who are at college and could
not get from their college authorities per-
mission to take this trip. Others who were
not selected are men whom the committee
1elt 1t would not be wise to take as men,
bers of the team.
1.-THE team Is a strong one but not as
strong as II should be. and we will have
to work hard to finish ahead Of the teams
from other countries. At present 1t locks
as though the winnings win be divided
among several foreign countries. England
will have team OF the strongest possible
distance runners; France, a champion pole
vaulter and a good long distance runner;
Australia. a Splinter, and Ireland. ii is
said, two capital jumpers.
TT IS to be hoped that our men will use
every possible endeavor to get into condi-
tion and keep in condition. With hurdlerS,
weight throwers and jumpers, we will more
than hold our own. and in the swimming
department we all look to Daniels to score
several victories"

SWIMMING AND WATER
SPORTS AT Y. M. C. A.

Plans for the swimming and water sports
meet between the Y. NJ. G. A. OF this city
and the Baltimore Athletic Club have been
practically completed and the night of
March "a. In the Y. NJ. c. A swimming pool
is expected to be a gala one. AT a spe-
cial meeting Of the Y. NJ. c. A. Swimming
and Life Saving Club. which was held on
Wednesday evening. the events for the
meet were decided upon. The races will
be governed in length by the size Of the
pool 1t being eighty feet long. There will
be an SO-foot race, 160-fooe race, a four-men
relay race, each man to swim two lengths,
underwater swim. plunge for distance, high
dive. fancy diving. candle race and chase
the-duck.''
The last event will afford much amuse-
ment and give the participants an oppor-
tunity to show much skill. A live duck Is
thrown into the water, and the man In the
water tries to catch 1t. The one who
catches the bird in the shortest time is de-
clared the winner. The efforts of the duck
with clipped wings, to get away and the
antics Of the player to reach the duck, al
ways create amusement, as well excite
ment.e
Although the Baltimore Athletic Club
was victorious over the local team in the
first meet which was held in Baltimore
some weeks ago. the local club members
believe that they can put up a stronger
fight for victory here, week from Satur-
day. The members of the team viii then
have had more practice and they will be
more accustomed to the pool conditions
here. The team will also be stronger, as
several new swimmers have entered the
competition for the team and they are
showing mp well. Among the men who are
doing good work at present are Fenton,
Kicks. Lipp. Delashmutt. Bruner, Jobson.
Brannon, Judge, Robertson and Kemon.
At the club meeting held Wednesday,
letter was read from the Yale Swimming
Association. making a proposition for a
meet TO be held in this city but the club
did not accept the offer for this season.
1t Is expected that meet will be arranged
next winter. however. when the local club
has become stronger

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, Charlottes-

out in all his glory this morning the Ma
