OIL YMP P|C CLUB men
. OFF FOR VICTORIA
Will Participate in Inter
national Coast Cham
pionships There

Five members of the Olympic club
track and feld squad left on the
steamer President yesterday for Vic
toria. B. c.. to participate in the inter-
national coast championships which
take place next Thursday afternoon.
The men making the trip are Jack
Nelson. George HORNE, Jumbo Norris,
Earle Crabbe and Oliver Millard. Coach
Holway is In charge of the squad.
The quintet is strong one, and
should score heavily in the various
events. provided the trip north is not
spoiled by rough weather.
Trainer Willie Poellnitz of the club
has been working on the men during
the last two weeks, and they all left
his hands in perfect condition
Nelson has been unable to strike the
top of his speed in the 100. but over
220 yards he is running close to even
time. He is also going well In the 40
yards and should be big contender IN
the latter two events. He did better in
the 100 yesterday morning than in any
of his previous trials, and might be
right by the day OF the meet
HORNE has entered In both the stand
ing broad Jump and the running high
jump. He is in hopes OF being able to
set a new Canadian record in the latter,
the present record being s feet III
inches There is also a possibility Of
his breaking the Canadian standing
broad jump record. which is 10 feet
215 inches. In practice this week he
has exceeded both these marks in the
high and the broad.
Jumbo Morris who recently distin-
guished himself by taking second place
to Thompson in the national all round
championships, will run the three hur-
die races as well as taking a chance
at the discus and shotputs. He is
running the high hurdles In great form
at present, mis- last time trial showing
Is 3-5 seconds. His most dangerous
opponent will be Martin Hawkins of
the Portland Multnomah club. 1t will
be a great race between this pair for
the first honors.
Oliver Millard and Earle Crabbe will
both be entered in the half mile and
the mile events. Crabbe is doing good
work at the present time and looks to
have a chance for a place in both
events, while Millard has a good chance
to place in the mile run
Ralph Rose and Eddie Beeson were
both selected to make the trip, but
found 1t impossible to spare the time
from their professions.

There are approximately 900 mem

sum mentioned il was necessary for
them TO give an average amount OF a
little more than $50 each. The largest

are few people OF large means in the
congregation, but there are many Of
the thrifty class. They own their
