TO 60 TO NEW ORLEANS

Trvout meet will start promptly at D. m. at Recreation park today for picking teams for the Southern A. A. U. championship meet, which will be pulled off in New Orleans on May 8 and g.
 The New Orleans meet in turn will act as one of the many tryout meets that are being held in different sec tions of the country for the approach ing Olympic games to be held in Lon don this spring. These meets are be- ing watched very carefully by the big officials of the A. A. U. for material ] that will compose the team that is to represent America.
 America established her superiority in athletics two years ago in the last Olympic games in Athens. There the American team won with F points in competition with athletes from every country in the world. Great Britain scored only Al, and Britain's athletes were gath cred from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Egypt, South Africa, Gibraltar and other world corners.
 The approaching Olympic games will be signalized by tremedous effort on the part of England to regain her ath- | letic supremacy. Looking over the list of champions for the past season and knowing the 1 tremendous effort that will be made by 1 the athletes over the entire country America will very likely hold her su- premacy. This is the time for some local athletes to try for world honors 1 A comparison of the southern records with the national records shows the south far behind in weight throwing. l MT. c. H.
