was contained in a letter received re-
Gently in America from Ted Mere

holder of the half-mile. who with
Tommy Lennon. another noted
sprinter, now is flying In France with
the American Aviation Forces.

field" he added. makes the superior
soldier. Sportsmen in America should
do all in their power to prove to the
general public throughout the United
States that athletics are playing a
most important part in the great
strife over here. To discontinue ath-
letics at the present time would be an
unthinkable hardship to the men
both behind and on the firing. line.
Supporters must be constantly back
ing up the boys in the first line

are all hoping is to be achieved. and
nothing keeps a man as game and
aggressive as TO give him all the ath-
