letes' amateur standing will be prosecuted.

meetings, so that the A. A. A. athletes will
be in good hands and can be assured of being
dealt with in good. sportsmanlike manner.

spring and reelected for next season. will

for the rumor, which cannot be verified.

Thompson, men OF recognized ability,
will be available. Lennox, a third
year runner of much promise. will
handle both the high and low sticks

these events, as last year the youngster
lost to Spurgeon, the champion South

very fast time.
Captain Nordahl will be in shape
this year to do the mile, as will New
mire, who besides this event will enter
the half and two-mile event The
weights will be cared for by Richard
son, who holds the Southern Califor-
MIA record for the hammer and the pole
vault; Comstock and Haigler. The
high jump will be cared for by Com
stock and Richardson, and the vault
will also be in their hands.
AS for basketball, the season is al
most too far away to predict anything
startling, although the Methodist boys
will strive harder than ever for first
honors. Practically all of last years
flve will be in school again and with
the additional incoming freshmen the
game should be ably represented.

Speculation regarding the outlook of

prior to the regulation opening period
of the university has developed rec
ord-breaking harvest of new and raw

favorites. "The finest bunch of fresh

is the verdict of Coach Holmes.
Coach Holmes has received enough

team by themselves. More than sixty
freshmen, a good proportion of whom
appear to be likely material, have
already enrolled in the liberal arts de-

of incoming first-year students is

Although a large number of last

the ranks of the football squad this

more or less ability will go long way
in the evolution of q team. Included
in the list are several such men as
Miller, Carmichael Best, Elliott, Mich
