Jeff has been awfully reticent regard
ing these plans for early training, but
as he is going to begin real work April

WHIMS OF CHAMPIONS
AND OTHER ATHLETES


Athletes are as fussy as old maids
about certain little things which they
believe help them TO win. Many of them
are too silly for anything"
One intercollegiate champion is not
a smoker so that an occasional puff of
a cigaret made him nervous. In order
to induce this feeling of agitation he
was accustomed to light cigaret a
moment or so before he went on the
field for his jumping. He commended
that a man had to be on edge TO he
either a good sprinter or good
jumper. and that even II his feeling or
slight agitation were induced by sm0k
ing it was, Notwithstanding, a good
thing.
Another man, Who was a more or Jess
successful quarter miller. moth as cole
Gian and club athlete. nerved aiu, sell
up for the start of mis- races by swear
ing ] ro:nsely at himself tlc had The
idea that if he got thoroughly angry ut
himself and swore lot 1t would rake
his mind off the race tha- vas about 10
start.
The blind reliance Of the novice on
externals as the causes for good per-
formances by the crackeriacks occa-
sionally had some odd sequence. There
was a quarter mile runner who was ac-
customed to hold his index and second
fingers pointed downward as he stroda
along and Immediately after this was
observed by several new men at the
game they all began holding their fin
gers in similar fashion as they ran.

MEXICO GOOD FIELD FOR
A FACTORY FOR AUTOS

Motor car folks are suggesting that
Mexico is no poor field for automobile
manufacture. Production of a grade
of cars to cost about 5000 pesos would
be a paying investment, according TO
many Mexican and American automo-
bilists who are familiar to the eondi-
tions in the republic at the south
1t is said that the government. in
view of existing conditions of unem-
ployed in certain sections, would well
come a factory of any sort. JuareZ es-
pecially is in need of some means of
employment. The government, ii is
believed. would make an easy road for
American investors in such a project
AT present the Mercedes of. the for
eign cars has a big hold there, but
American machines are gaining steadily
in favor as being more adapted to the
rough nature of the country.
