With the increasing length OF the
casualty lists from the west front,
more and more frequently we find
names which in former years met our
eyes on the sport page, names Of men
famous in some lines OF athletic en-
deavor.
More and more OF these names may
be expected in the future, because the
American army abroad includes a lib
eral sprinkling Of famous athletes.
The first Of The really great Ameri-
can athletes 90 meet his death "over
there" since Johnny Poe was killed in
French service was Johnny Overton,
perhaps the greatest Of all Yale track
athletes, who died going "over the
top" in July.
Overton was one Of the first Yale
men to enlist after America had enter
ed the war. Prior to joining the ma
rlnes for duty in this war, he had en-
listed in Yale University Battery for
service in Mexico.
Overton became famous on account
OF his distance running. In 1915 and
1916 he was the leading track athlete
In American colleges. In 1917, before
entering government service he was
captain Of the Yale track squad.

Fanny is Champion, But She
Doesn't Like u. S. Competition

The refusal OF Miss Fanny Durack.
Australian premier woman swimming
star, to compete against American mer-
maids, coupled with recent perform
ances Of Miss Claire Galllgan. OF New
Rochelle. N. Y, has caused swimming
critics to wonder whether Miss Duraek
found after coming to America that
holding her laurels would not be so
easy against the crack OF American wo-
men natators.
Miss Duraek, who holds world rec
ords for NOSE water events from 100
yards to a mile, voiced her refusal
to enter into competition in America
when challenged by Miss Olga Dorfner.
OF Philadelphia.
Miss Dorfner is undoubtedly Amer
icas greatest water sprinler. Since that
Time Miss Galligan has lowered her
own American record for the mile
swim and in so doing cut down her
tine at all distances from 22O yards
to the mile.
Miss Durack came TO America n few
months ago after being extensively ad-
Nertised. II was expected that She
would tour the country and meet Tie
best Of American mermsids in water
carnlyals which were to have been
given as benefits for war charities
NJ the time Of her arrival Il was not
supposed that American nermaids
would be able 10 rob her OF many OF
her idurels, as Miss Durack has been
considered the greatest Of women
swimmers since her remarkable per-
formances in the Stockholm Olympic
games six years ago. The fact that
her Olympic records stlll stand as the
latest in that fleld Of athletic endeayor
proves unquestionably that in her
olympic form Miss Durack was faster
than many Of Americas aspirants at
their best. But it is questioned il
Miss Durack is In her Olympic form
this year. mainly because Of a rather
mediocre exhibition she gave on the
coast the only one, by the way, she
has made since coming TO America.
For this reason critics are inclined to
believe that Miss Durack Is content
to rest on her past laurels without
taking chances Of losing them in com
petition here.
