Golden Fleece that hung from the
oak tree in the grove of Mars, forty
eight stalwart Yankee athletes sailed
on the Great Northern yesterday in
quest of the laurel wreaths of vic
tory that will be awarded the victors
in the big interallied athletic meet
in the Pershing Stadium, Joinville-
le-Pont, near Paris, next month.
Included among the Great North
ern's passengers were thirty four
track men, seven swimmers, two
wrestlers, two boxers and three ten
mis- players. The wrestlers, boxers
and tennis players came very near
being left at home, for yesterday
morning a cablegram was received
from General Persling informing
Colonel Johnson, who is in charge of
the soldier team, that there was no
need of sending any one except track
men and swimmers. They were taken
along, however.

worlds Greatest Middle Distance Runner
WHEN JOE RAY goes to the mark
=" on Saturday in his attempt to
break Norman Tabor's mile record of
4 ~ 20. he will be as confident rs any
man can be. This will have as much to
DO with Rays breaking the record as
any factor outside of his condition.
What l mean is that if Ray did not
feel that he could break the record he
would not have chance. A man does
not have to be conceited. but he must
have certain amount of confidence in
himself to be success on the track as
well as in any other walk of life. A
man who says that l can win and feels
that way will not lose.
Ray Confident
Ray says that he is in condition and
will break the record. and believe he
will. Everything points to his having
good day and the right amount of
pacing. and the only thing that will be
against him will be that Franklin Field
is not as fast this year as it has been.
However, the track is not so far out as
to make a great enough difference, all
other things being right.
With O'Connell, of Harvard, and
Crawford, of Lafayette, about sixty
yards in front Of him, Ray will have
to shatter a record to win. Any one
knowing the way Joie goes after field
