VANDYPROPOSES
S.L.A.A. MEET At
PIEDMONT PARK

NASHVILLE TENN, March
N lit is more than an even
bet that when the annual
track meet of the s l. A. A. IL
pulled off at Clemson, point max
ers for the CommodoTes will be
conspicuous by their absence.
The matter has come in for con-
siderable discussion in athletic cir
cles at Vanderbilt. Coach Anderson
has vigorously opposed the long,
tiresome Journey, and even DR..
Dudley let it be known that he CON
siders Clemson geographically IN
M for the meeting
The South Carolina college is SO
remotely situated that the heavy
expenses incident to the trip will
only permit the Commodores to
carry ten men to cover all the
events. Against this small number
Clemson could put 40 or 80 track
men in the field. and, although the
quality Of material carried from
Vanderbilt would in all pFobabil-
ity be vastly superior to that en-
tered by Clemson. still the Commo-
dores would be up against too
tough a proposition, in so far as
numerical strength is concerned.
Conditions Are Too Hard.
Under such conditions as these,
il would be possible for the Tigers
TO roll up enough points from sec
ond places to capture the meet,
and Coach Anderson Is unwilling to
lose on any such basis as that.
Tulane. l.. s. Z. and the Univer-
sity Of Mississippi have all written
to Vanderbilt suggesting that dual
meets be arranged, or, if that ar
Management does not meet with the
approval Of the athletic authorities,
Tulane made proposition to stand
the expenses Of meet between
the four colleges
The first plan presents practt-
caIly the same drawbacks q : that
encountered at Clemson. for II a
meet were arranged between Van
derbilt and Tulane. and the follow
ing day with l.. 5. L. or Mississip-
nj. the energies of the men would be
so severely taxed in the first meet
that they would be almost certain
to be smothered in the second, and
Coach Anderson is a little too foxy
to walk into any such trap as that,
Shift From Clemson Here.
The plan he most strongly advo-
Gates is to secure the consent of all
the colleges who are members of
the =. l. \. A. TO shift the meet
from Clemson to Atlanta. Atlanta
is centrally located. railroad facil-
tiles in and out of the Cracker city
are excellent. and there is hardly
better track in the entire South
than that at Piedmont park, II it
Is improved a bit,
The Commodore coach nov has
the matter up with the other col
leges and has offered some very
convincing arguments as to the ad-
visibility Of changing the location
Of the meet which hs believes will
result in everybody including
Clemson. agreeing on Atlanta
There IS very little doubt that

AUTO NOTES

The proposed transcontiHental auto
mobile road, which will extend from
New York to San Francisco along
route 10 be determined later received
decided forward impetus last week
al the New York Show. when Presi-
dent John \. WHY'S. OF the WHY'S
Overland Company, OF Toledo, Ohio,
promised a donation of $4,000 to-
ward the cost OF its construction. Mr..
WHY'S contribution toward the real
ization of the hope Of thousands CT
motorists of the country will be made
in three parts. $4,000 TO be given in
three yearly installments.
Everyone long ago realized that L
is impossible to regard the automo-
lille apart from the road on which il
runs; only the two together make Jhe
complete pleasure or business vehi-
Gle" said Mr.. WHY'S, in announcing
his donation. The plan of linking
the two oceans by an improved hign-
way is only the first step toward
what | consider to be one Of the
greatest engineering undertakings Of
the age. With a broad smooth road
between the eastern and western
limits of our country it viii be only a
short time before the entire contin-
ent will be criss-crossed N every d
rection ty excellent thoroughfares,
built and maintained especially for
motor vehicles.
The people are rapidly coming to
| recognize in the automobile the ideal
/ trans portation means for both pas
sensers and merchandise. and il is
la safe prediction 70 say that in a very
l few years the United States will be
/ practically independent Of steam and
electric railways. Already we have
thousands Of people traversing the
country from one end to the other
in pleasure cars every year, and mo
tor trucks are transporting merchand
! lse over long distances. though our
road conditions are and have long
been deplorable. With the develop
ment of the highways this activity
will be increased many fold .

WHY'S contribution toward their flt

IF Il is only by comparison with
i things Of his everyday life that the
average layman, who is not especially
interested in motor cars, can grasi
an idea of the magnitude of the auto
mobile industry. Some one in the
factory of the Willys-Oyerland com
pany recently worked out table Of
comparisons which, while seemingly
i irrelevant. is striking. He figured
