CARMAN IN MATCH RACE
By PAUL, PREP

some degree of its former popularity,
the once royal sport of bike racing is

identified with it whose name is familiar

the most striking figures in any sport
and justly dubbed "the perennial cham
pion." is to the casual follower of the
game the alpha and omega of bike
racing.
This is not strange. For eighteen
of this country and Europe have been
striving in vain to find some one to
take the measure of the champion. Thou
sands of dollars have been spent in the
futile quest. Only once has he beer de-
throned. That was last season when
Arthur Spencer defeated him in the titu-
lar race. But Kramer trained all
winter and upset the dope by coming
back better than ever this season and
regaining his donors.
But the daddy of them ALI when It
comes to pedaling a bike had heard a
greater call than that of the board
track. It is from the American boys

Several weeks ago Kramer volunteered
his services to the American Y. NJ. c. A,

He expects to receive favorable reply

Pennsylvania will begin preparations

Folwell. who once more will have charge
of the coaching, has issued a call for all
candidates to report on that date. The
late date is due to a proposal 'PennsNl-
vania made to all opponents not to start

cisely what it was year ago last April.

Pickering the Quakers determined to
maintain all their athletics as far as
consistent with the military plans of
the Government. Pennsyivanias con-
tention is now. as II was then, that
there is no better way for a college to
contribute to the military strength of
the nation than by furnishing super
vised athletics for its entire student
body. This position is supported by
Baker, General Leonard Wood and
others
The schedule as prepared Is an un-
usually interesting one. The season
opens with Franklin and Marshall on
