isn't so conceited that he isn't ex-
pecting a few rcverses here and
there during the games. He real
ICES that he hasn't an absolute cor
ner on all the athletic marvels IN
the universe. In fact the defeat of
the formidable American hocky

an even keener sense of this realiza-

able point winners at Antwerp who
will not sport the American shield
on their chests, one Of his first
thoughts concerns Corr oral A. c.
Guillcmot OF the French army. At
present writing. considering the
dearth OF American material for the
long distances, and the Gaufs tri-
umphs over the pick Of the British
distance stars. Guilienlot looms up
as an almost certain winner OF the
5000 and 10000 meter nuns. Fred
Faller. the national lO-mlle Cnam-
Pion. is the only Yankee today who
would appear to have anything like
an even chance 20 beat the French
man. although II Is possible we may
develop others in the meantime.
Athletic phenomenons spring up
over night when they do appear.
Guillemot bears the same relation
10 the French public In track ath-
letes as does Georges Carpenter in
pugilism. He Is an idol. an I'M
