American May Win Olympics

New York. June 15.-President Gus
tavus T. Kirby and the members Of
the American Olympic committee are
more optimistic now than ever before
that the American Olympic team will
triumph at Antwerp and not without
reason

championships-hav given the stock

boost

Following the recent Intercolleg i-
ate games president Kirby expressed
the opinion that an American team,
made up entirely Of college athletes,
would stand a good chance OF win
ming the Olympic games This was a
rather broad statement, but II was
not made carelessly by any means
