One Team.

Ancient Greece's Olympic carnival
will be outdone on a scale of mag
nificence never dreamed of by
Athenian sportsmen in the fifth re
vival of these Hellenic games to be
celebrated next July in London.
For the first time in the history
of modern athletics every nation of
the civilized world will send teams
comprising its finest athletic speci-
mems to struggle for the worlds
premier honors in tests of speed,
strength, and skill.
The gigantic scale on which this
meet has been planed has stirred
the athletes Of the world 10 the
highest pitch of enthusiasm, and if
all this long training and keen com
petition do not result in many new
world records, it viii be nothing
short of remarkable.
But while all the countries of the
world viii figure more or less, the
actual fight is expected to reduce
itself to a titanic struggle between
the athletes of the United States
and England Apparently the one
thing that rankles in the breasts of
the English athletic rulers is the
fact that in nearly every previous
meet between the two countries, the
American has been too much for the
Briton. In spite of the fact that
the United States has won all four
previous Olympic meets, the English
feel that this time they will turn
the tables.

a very limited conception of the far

Stiff Fight Expected.

While we may look for the stiftest
kind OF opposition from England, John
Bull may also expect a merrier battle
from the wearers OF the Stars and
Stripes than ever before II possible.
the American committee IS going the
English body one better in thorough
ness In spite OF the fact that we have
won all the Olympic meets TO date, the
1908 team should be fully 50 per cent
stronger than any Of its predecessors.
For the first time there is in charge OF
the team a central committee whose
business it is to assemble the full
strength Of this country. In 1895 only a
small body of American athletes went
TO Athens. and in 1900 at Paris. although
we had a much larger representation,
1t consisted in the main Of college teams
not working together. In 1903. when
the meet was held in St. Louis. the
America competitors were limited al
most entirely TO. the club athletes. there
being Oily a scattering OF the college
champions. There was little improve
ment IN conditions at Athens In 1905
rms time the spring dates and A ruling
OF the committee in charge made it alb
soIuteiY impossible for the uncerEradu-
ATE college athletes to compete. Con
Sequently the very cream of America 8
athletes were kept OF the team.
Inc plan to hold three elimination
trials means that every athlete of abiI-
ity VII! have fair show to make the
team and that there can be no charges
OF favoriusm- The 1906 team. with the
single exception OF Sheppard. comprised
the strongest men available. though II
Il was not selected from tryouts The
committee overcame that difficulty bv
taking al the men who were availabIs.
Ihls year the field from which the team
VIII be selected is much larger and the
elimination process is necessary.

Colleges Well Represented.

1t il safe 10 say that the 1908 team
will be composed for the most part of
college men, There never was a time
when the club men were so active or
produced such splendid records as right
now. but a perusal Of any athletic al
manaC will show that a majority OF our
world ard American records are held by
the college men,
These same records show that the
American team viii be well rounded in
every event. the only possible weakness
being in the distance runs where we
have always been second to the English.

well cared for. The man on whom the
most dependence is placed is \. ]. Cart
