in the Penn relay carnival on April 26,

saw a clipping yesterday from The
Gro, a publication issued by the Amer
ican central record Office in Bourges,
France. and in it were the names of
the men who would compete in the
track games. Many of them are known
all over the country.
Recently a squad of twenty five ath-
letes were ordered to proceed 10 the
Colombo from their various camps to
train for the meet. The entire 5. o. s.
has been divided into nine sections. and
these twenty five athletes represent the
different sections of the overseas force.
Coaches Detailed
The best coaches the service can pro-
! duce have been detailed to handle the
men at Columbia. The athletes have
been given more than month to get
! into condition for the events and the
meet should be great success from the
standpoint of competition.
One of the twenty five is Lieutenant
Earl Eby, who is the only University
of Pennsylvania man entered. Eby will
be in the middle distance runs. The lit
tie Chicago boy is one of the greatest
middle distance runners America ever
has produced and if he is in condition
he should clean up.
Two other men we'll known in this
section who will compete are Pete Max

star, and Larry Shields, of Penn State
fame.

only play seven rounds but perform with
an average of So. This would mean
about fourteen hours of play.
Under these conditions it would be
necessary to start about the same time
as he did at Whitemarsh, but a month
from today the sun will have been up
full hour by 6:10. Here is schedule
that | would offer:
Start at st. Davids at 10, play the
east course at Merton at s 10. the west
course at 10, Ovcrbrook at II. Bala at
,, the Philadelphia Country Club at 4
and wind up the day at the public
course at Cobbs Greek or the Country
Club Of Lansdowne.
In view of the congested play ut
Cobbs Creek and the hilly character of
the course, it would be better to play at
Lansdowne.
Conveniently Located
these courses are selected as they
are conveniently located to each other
ana 1t is easy to get from one to an
other. Taking any other section of
Philadelphia or vicinity and the dis
lance between the clubs is greater. One
thlng that would not initiate against
illm would be that he has played all
these courses and this is particularly
true of st. Davids. the east course at
Merton, Overbrook and Bala.
Reccntly he played either four or
five consecutive rounds at st. Davids in
fraction over 80. OF the seven
courses all but Overbrook. Bala and
Lansdowne are eighteen, hole affairs.
Of the entire lot the hardest is the east
course at Merton. He ought to be able
to register low scores at st. Davids
Overbrook and Lansdowne particularly.
Links Familiar
A little familiarity with the west
course at Merton ought to enable him
to play in the low eighties there, while
the Country Club and Bala, both of
which he frequently has played, should
give him no trouble. The only real
hard course he has on the schedule is
Merion's east course, over which the
last national championship was played.

Squash critics who saw him play
yesterday predict that he has great
possibilities and that one Of these days
he may be the national champion. He
plays very fast and he shows excellent
judgment in his play. The rallies were
very long and many of the returns on
the part of both players were brilliant.

BY PETER PUTTER

THE fact that Fred w. Knight played
l. eight rounds of golf in one day over
the difficult Whitcmarsh course in an
average of slightly more than sc and
the first seven rounds in three strokes
over 50 has convinced golfers that he
easily can play seven consecutive
rounds iii 81 or under.
1t must be remembered that the first
and second rounds found him playing
over fairways and greens coated with
frost and then water soaked green's. that
he started entirely too early in the day

there was no run to the ball after it
struck and that, all in all. the weather

\ month from now everything will
be perfect, and it is certain that at least
two of these rounds, and possibly more,
will be under so.
Separate Courses
Some one has suggested as Il varia-
ton of the plan to play seven separate
and distinct courses in the same day.
His average for the eight rounds at
Whitemarsh was about one hour and
twenty five minutes. Allowing about
Il half hour to get from one course to
