Simpson and McDon-
aid Each Honored With
2 Places in Star Array
By A. C. Cavagnaro

Old familiar faces are seen back
in their positions on the all-American
track and Geld team for 1919 with their
return to competition after service in
the great war. The selections of the
athletes for the all-star array were
based on their performances in the
past twelve months, and included this
country's participation in the inter
Allied championships in France.
The athletic campaign of 1919 was
one Of briliance throughout, marked
by competitions of the highest order
and the extraordinary boom in the
sport in this country. 7 he increased
interest is credited to the encourage
ment of all forms Of '-tnletics in the
American armies during the war. With
athletic conditions back on the same
scale before the conflict. the Amer
can team that viii be sent to the
Olympic championships in Antwerp
next year will be as formidable as
ever.
a conspicuous ieatule Of this years
all-American team, as presented in
the accompanying column, is that the
Paclfc Coast ls represented by three
men, the strongest compliment it has
been paid in several wears The East
retained its prestige in claiming the
majority Of places with twelve nomna-
tions, while the Middle West comes
next with nine men on the team. In
several instances, athletes were
chosen for two events. Those to earn
this distinction are Joic Ray, Illinois
A. c.; Robert I. Simpson. Missouri
University, and Pat Mcdonald, New
York Athletic Club.
The choice for the OO-yard dash is
Charley Paddock, the California Won
der, who has never been beaten in a
scratch race. Eastern athletes doubted
Paddock's s prowess until the Inter
Allied games, when the Coast boy won
both the 100 and 20O-meter runs in
at 220 yards is given to Henry Williams,
OF the Spokane A. c., Oregon, who won
the national championship at this dis
tance. Williams has been consistent
performer in races on the Coast and
proved his mettle when he won the
American title in 81 4-5 seconds
Kurt Mayer, Corncll's double winner
in the intercollegiate championship. is
named for the 440yard post, although
he had close rivals in Frank Shea,
Pittsburgh A. A; Jimmy O'Brien,
I'uSHl|u LNCcuIl, LON lamp pDCfl, die
University, and Jack Sellers. Mayer
is given the preference because of his
consistent speediest efforts
A double honor is paid Joie Ray in
placing him in the 280-yard and one
mile positions. Ray met with a few
reversals at these distances during
1919, and the season was the best in his
career on the cinder path.
Double honors arc also affixed to the
name OF Bob Simpson, who again
proved his superiority as Americas
greatest hurdlcr in winning the 1870 and
220yard national fixtures and captur-
ing similar titles in the tcr-Alled
games. However, Simpsons days as an
amateur are ended, for he is now
coaching the athletes Of Missouri Uni
verslty. his alma mater.
Charles Pores. Millrose A. A, proved
himself the premier iive-milc runner
IN the country, while William Plant,
Morningside A. c., was supreme as
walker at all distances.

Wesleyan Holds Amherst
BiameIess in Big Row

MlDDLETOWN. Conn, Dec. 30
The Undergraduate body at Wesleyan
has sent a note to the Amherst stu
dent body stating that Wesleyan does
not regard Amherst in any way culpa-
bic Tor the unpleasant episode in
which an Amherst graduate visited the
Wesleysn football practice last fall
and reported signals and plays to the
Amherst coach
Wesleyan. Furthermore, has stated
that the football coach and the ath
setic council here are convinced that
the happening in no wise affected the
outcome of the game. 1t is believed
that this will serve to close what has
been regarded by both colleges as an
unhappy incident.

the new king of the kennels.
Yawning elegantly in the midst of
MS satin cushions, the new champion
consented to give u short statement as
to his policies.

my, magnificent size and my great in

cats ] sometimes see skulking through
the alleys. My secretaries tell nc that
the high cost Of beef is compelling
many cat families to live on mice alone,
"n1ie humans whose business it is to
cook for cats who have always been
used to good living are now resorting
70 all sorts of tricks to reduce the cost
OF our living. They feed us on scraps
and even condensed milk. You cannot
say too strongly for me that the cost
of beef must be reduced if humans are
to retain their present high state in
the opinion of the feline kingdom"
Cranreuch II then consented to
stretch himself in the sunshine, where
his long, silvcry fur and his golden
eyes, as big as fve-ccnt pieces, could
be appreciated. He weighs eleven
pounds, and is owned by Mrs. L. S.
Gerberich.
The oldest cat in the show was
Madam Gence, ten years old, which is
surrounded by prize winners of four
generations. She is the widow of King
Winter, the most famous cat in the
world up to the time of his death, two
years ago. Madam Gence proved again
that age is no handicap to the modern
grandmother by taking the first prize
in the champion class, while prizes
went to all her descendants who were
exhibited BY their owner, Miss Carroll
Macy.
The second best cat in the whole
show was Conqueror, handsome
smoke, owned by Mrs. George Brayton.
Mrs. George B. Brayton was the
only double blue ribbon winner on the
final day OF Judging, when her The
Sonqueror. which was bred by Mrs
Frances Parker. was named the best
OF all the champions. Pogo My Heart,
also the property of Mrs. Brayton, was
announced the best of the female cats.
Winter-Dai. bred by Mrs. Brayton,
was judged the best neuter and was
exhibited by Mrs. Frank Bell
