where was the great Stadium of tina
past. 1t is of the same size ana
probably Of the same character. I'm
agine a marble amph:theater which
will seat $1,000 spectators and has an
arena 600 feet long. The marble seats
rise up the sides of a natural amphi-
theatre made by the hills. and over X
sh mes the blue sky of Greece. Tho
arena itself is of the shape of a great
horseshoe, with long ENDS. 1t is coy
cred with black sand, and this forms
a striking contrast to the silver white
of the marble. 1t was here that the
Olympic games Of some years asa
were run. and here will be held some
of those OF the future.
\ Talk With the Grand Chamberlain.
The Crown Prince of Greece is al
the head of nat onal athletic matters
He is absent from Athens at this
writing, but I have had q talk with
his grand chamberlain, Count Mercati.
as to what this country expects 70 do
in the Olympic games OF the future,
He tells me that he government is
rathe hard up for money, but thai
it is anxious to have one of the great
Internal nal athletic contests OF the
near future held here. Said he:
"Our people are liberal and without
prejudice, and some of the nations feel
that they are more sure Of having d
square deal at Athens than a~nywhers
else. This is especially SO OF tho
Americans, who justly maintain that
they were unfairly treated in Lon
DON"
l asked as to the accommodations
and as to whether Athens could take
care of the crowd that would come 70
such a competition.
Count Mercati replied:
AT our last Olympic games We

grounds almost adjoining the stadium
for the foreign athletes. This was
made into a great dormitOry. and It
could be so used again. The hotels
would take care of the strangers. ana
in addition the people Of Athens. who
are very h~ospitable, would open their
houses to them. Yes. l think We can
take care of all who nay come
Can a Greek Win the Marathon?
I asked the grand chamberlain soma
questions as to the possibility of tho
modern Greek in the ring and Oh tho
track.
He replied:
II think we have a fair chance at
the marathon and that we can mold
our own in all sorts Of wrestling. We
are not the equals Of the Greeks OF
the past, and we have not their har-
m%onious physical development nor
their staying powers. On short runs
We are distanced by the athletes OF
some other nations. You must re-
emb that We are not old as an indc-
pendent government, and that for four
years or more We were un-
der the rule OF the Turks, who frown-
ed on all physical exercises and pro-
h.bited gymnastic training. Today we
make as much Of athletics as any
other nation and we are especially
rigid as to the athletic training OF
our schools. In the Greek colleges
every student at the end Of two years
after admission undergoes a physical
examination. and If he cannot show
evidences OF his gymnast.c training
he must remain where he is. / do not
think that the case in any college OF
other Countries"

APPEAL TO WHEAT GROWERS

Delaware College Experiment Station
Wish Cooperation on Part of Farmers
The Department of Agronomy of
the Delaware Experiment Station is
about to issue to farmers a list of
questions pertaining to the practice
of growing wheat in this State.
These questions will include tn
methods of preparing the soil, the
rotation for wheat, the variety or
type of wheat used, the time Of
seeding, the kind of fertilizers used,
and the cost of growing an acre of
wheat ready to cut. The information
secured in this way will greatly aid
the Station in getting an idea of the
PROBLEMS now confronting the wheat
grower and in planning experimental
work with reference to their solu-
tion. 1t is probable that some of
the data will be used in a subsequent
bulletin on wheat. All wheat grow
ers are invited to cooperate. Blanks
msy be secured by sending name and
address to Prof. A.. E. Gratham,
Newark, Delaware.
