Following is a rather interesting
letter from X. W. Clark. a former
Central High man, now at University
of Illinois:
TT may interest you to know that
the western conference has insti-
tuted a system whereby all swimming
meets and water sports will be CON
Quoted by telegraphic report, This
system, originated by Coach Ed Man
ley of Illinois, follows the policy OF
sports for all. Instead of competing
as in a dual meet, the first string
men will race among themselves ana

to stage a mass swimming race, in
which every man in college who can
swim will swim fifty yards, and the
time of the tfrst thirty men to make
the fastest time will be taken and
compared to the time of the hrst

penses. for it will do away with need
of sending teams away from college.
Coach Manley is very enthusiastic

ifing intersectional contests prevents
us showing what we can do against
teams in the east. Give the middle
western universities the space they
deserve. The Star comes out to us,
and especially do those of us that
come from Washington like to see in
it mention of sports in the big insti-
tttions out here"
The annual cross-country run be-
