General satisfaction has been ex-
pressed over the announcement COM
ing from Charlottesville the other day,
that Rector, the phenomenal Splinter
OF the University OF Virginia. had re-
considered, and has decided to try for
the team which America is to send to
the Olympic games at London.
OF course, he will make the team
unless something unforeseen happens.
A Splinter who can equal the worlds
record on soRgy track and in the
face OF wind, al he did Saturday. should
have no trouble making good under
more favorable conditions. no matter
Row fast the company is that he runs
against.
The fact that Rector's spikes picked
up large pieces of earth In the 100
yard dash in the meet with Johns
Hopkins. and that In spite OF this his
time was 9 as seconds. the worlds
record. is almost beyond credence. He
is wonderful runner and think an
unbeatable one. His future perform

pic tryouts at Philadelphia, on June
6th, will be closely followed by the
sporting world.
