that the hotel is extra dry. 1t does

The death OF Mike Murphy. Amer
lean Olympic team and University
OF Pennsylvania athletic trainer,
leaves a vacancy which IL will be
hard to fill. Jack Moakley OF Cor
nell. and Keene Fitzpatrick of rrince
ton. are the most logical successors
for the position of Olympic team
trainer In 1919 and 1916.
Murphy was a wonderful judge Of
athletes either In their embroyo or
perfected stages. he could tell a
future star in either track or field
port after witnessing one tryout.
and seldom was his judgment AZ
fault Once he had an athlete under
his charge he proceeded to develop
the performer to the utmost of his
capacity Murphy knew every angle
of the athletic game and was a close
student Of personal character. which
la part accounts for his really won
derlul career as a trainer. lie knew
whether TO drive or ooax his charges
Ia training, and suited his methods
10 the man in hand.
One Of the greatest tributes ever
paid TO Mike Murphy was made by
Jack Moakley, the Cornell trainer.
During a talk az an intercollegiate
meet. In Cambridge several years
ago. Moakley said Mike Murphy
put the college athletic trainer ON a
clean aud honorable pedestal and
made II a business that ans man
might be proud 20 follow as a life
work. His efforts a. the dean of
trainers made It possible for many
others 10 copy his methods and sc-
cure lucrative positions. Much Of
The Inspiration shown by bis follow
ors is due to Murphy's example aud
personality. There t. only one Nike
