RUSH WORK ON OLYMPIC
STADIUM AT ANTWERP

Construction on the Olympic stadium
at Antwerp, Belgium. in which some Of
the 1870 International games are to be
held. is proceeding with feverish haste
Architects directing the structural
work nave announced that the great
arena will be completed in time for
the opening of the world athletic con-
test, which is Professionally set for
May g. Much ceremony will attend
the opening of the contest if the plans
of the Society Les Fetes dAnvers 1920
are carried out.
This word comes from the Antwerp
representative of the American Ex-
press Company, general passenger
agent in the United States and Canada
for the games:
The foreign participation at the
seventh Olympiad is already assured
as a brilliant success" writes the
Antwerp preventative. "All the great
nations-England, Italy, France.
Czechoslovakia. Holland, Switzerland
and the Scandinavian countries-haye
already sent their official adhesion.
Their participation in the great bouts
OF muscle and ability is, therefore, GER
tain So far as America is concerned
everything points to brilliant and
numerous participation on the part of
This great allied nation. The Ameri-
cans. who are very much to the fore
in all sports. will make big effort
to show by their presence all the
fiendship they have for little Bel.

Travers' Defeat.

I am moved to write these several
articles on this particular British
championship because the invasion Of
players from this side Of the Atlantic
was on the largest scale the classic
has ever seen. Further. Ouimet's de-
feat of vardon and Ray had raised
hopes here of victory. And Trav-
ers, too. was thought q possible win
ner. I think no single championship
has been SO widely discussed in this
country as this one.
The first American winner of the
day was Fraser Hale. who came in
with a victory of S and over w. K
Whigham, a plus-four man of the
Royal ST. Georges Club, golfer al
most as well known in the United
States and Canada as in England.
Fred Herreshoff. too. played excel
lent golf and defeated Mr.. St John
of Northumberland. and 3.
Ouimet played well. going around
practically in par figures. His oppo-
nent, j. C. MacGregor. the champion
of Manila. gave him no trouble.
However. he was a man over sixty
green's. I was satisfied with the con-
dition Of my own game, and defeated
my opponent. William Cranston of
Walton Heath. by and 4. c. W.
Inslee Of Oneida. N. Y... the only
American defeated in the lower half
/. ]. Murray Of Romford. Mr.. Inslee
had been staying in London on bus1-
ness for a year, and he and Murray
were chums and clubmates. In the
upper half there was another story
to tell. although the lower half had
Americans.
The first defeat in the upper half. ]
think was Travers. and the next was
Henry Topping. who was defeated by
the narrow margin of one hole. his
opponent being z. w. Holderness.

left the Americans bit dased. and
the remarks Of the New York papers
the next morning were not calculated
to contribute to the morale OF the
players still in. One prominent golfer
was represented as saying that any
ship was gone. One wonders what his
idea Of British golf and championships
could have been.
I doubt il either Travers or Ouimet
after their round of British courses
and practice matches with British
golfers. could have thought their
chances very good. Neither Of them
had had much experience outside OF
certain courses near New York and
Boston, and a very few somewha,

night that wrestling and boxing drew
larger crowds at Penn State than
any other sport. He gave that pop
ularity as the main reason Why his
college would back boxing as an in
tercollegiate sport. Romeyn Berry
of Cornell furthered that statement
by declaring that boxing is by far
the most popular of intramural sports
at Ithaca.
Graduate Manager Murdcck of
Washington and Jefferson admitted
last night that Washington and JEFF
ferson was a much disappointed in
stitution in not winning from Pitts
burgh and West Virginia last fall.
I'VE fully expected to win both
games, but we didn't" said Murdoch,
land I'll admit we were a much cha
grined crowd" Pittsburgh beat
Washington and Jefferson to s, and
West Virginia trimmed it to 0.
1t seems to be generally believed
that foot ball is going to be much
moro popular next fall than 1T was
last. despite the greatest popularity
in its history in 1918. The Two main
reasons given for this are the wide
spread and helpful advertising given
the game by the government III con-
nection with the Army and the much
better general knowledge that the
public has about the intricacles Oh the
sport.
Opinion here relative to the Oregon
Harvard game at Pasadena seems TO
be about evenly divided. But even
those who think Harvard has an
even chance or better to win realize liz
that the Crimson is up against dlfil-
cult task. It's long journey. its lack
of suitable practice and favoravle opI
portunity to get into condltion wiz
work against it. Oregon. on the con
trary. has all these things in its Ia
vor, and. as one man expressed it last
night. "Despite our seriousness in atm
letics' out there in the far west they
take their games lot more seriously
than we do"

 There are said to be two influences work in this community against the proposition for the local manufacture of cement for the roads of Maricopa county. Though these interests are conflicting so far as the roads are concerned they have a com munity of interest in opposing homemade cement One of these elements is opposed to concrete roads The other wants roads but it would rather the roads built of any other material than con- crete sunless association plants furnish the Desirable as would be the contract for furnishing cemeut for the road program it is much more n- oortaatto the be protected against local competition in this valley with rapid growth and development of the immediate future.
 But neither of these adverse influences can ac- comphsh more than delay. The roads be built out the s4 900 900 bond going be concrete roads. and local cement is going into the concrete! The roads are going be built wholly of material which nature has placed convenient for use
 We may not get the roads quite as expected them, but delay will be long it will be offset by the saving of than a million dollars and the prospect that in the fitness of time when the roads of the whole county, many hundred miles of them have been made permanent they will all be concrete roads.
 There will be also cement for the manifold pur- poses for which cement be used, purposes which must increase in extent and number every year
