DECATHE:LON AND
PENTATHELON IN
OLYMPIC GAMES

New York. Feb. 1S.-Two all
around events. the decathelon and
modern pentathlon, have been re-
stored to the program of the Olym-
pic games at Antwerp, it was learn
ed today. In the original draft of
the competition it was deemed suf-
ficient to have only one all-around
event, the pentathlon, as held in
ancient Greece.
The decathelon consists of 10
events. as follows:
One hundred, 400 and 1000 meter
runs, Ito meter hurdles. running
high and broad jumps. pole vault,
| putting the weight, throwing the
javelin. and throwing the discus.
This event was won for America at
Stockholm by Jim Thorpe, the In
dian baseball and football player,
who was later declared a profess
sional and the prizes returned.
The modern pentathlon will be
! similar to the event held in Sweden
and will consist of swimming
fencing, revolver shooting, cross
country riding and cross-country
running. The events are contested
on different days.

The Aledo school will never be
forgotten by the other members OF

some wonderful football, baseball
and basketball teams that won
championships. In 1916 1t had a
basketball team that was one OF
the best ever developed in the state
and which ran away with the
championship at Bloomington with
ease. Many claimed that it was a
hand-picked quintet secured by a
former Aledo newspaper man as an
advertising medium for the school
but nevertheless they won the gon-
