opposition in 1924.
SEEKING upcn the showing made by the
American distance men, the foreign ma.
tons, especially, Sweden, Finland and
England, are going to set out to develop
new talent in the field and track events
in which the Americana were able to
Inake the cleanup that gave them vic
tory.
OLD SCHOOL
MEN THROUGH.
Americas task before the next games
will be to develop a new school of dis
lance runners and to find yOun gsters to
axe the place Of Pat Mcdonald, Paddy
Ryan, Matt McGrath, Dan Ahearn, Mike
Devanney, Ted Meredith and some Others
# the old school who ahowed in the
last games that they are throuea.
England, strong IN the running events,
will turn her attention to the develop
ment Of hurdlers and field stars. The
Swedes feel the necessity Of developing
a bunch of good sprlGters. The Firms
superstars in the javelin, will set out TO
develop other field stars and sprinters to
help balance a team strong in long dis
lance power.
American athletic officials have already
started s campaign to encourage athletics
In high schools. Their hope is to have
eventually a skilled man In charge OF
athletics who can discourage young attn
letes from burning themselves out ID
trying to win every event on the pro-
gram. The swedes, under the direction
Of Ernie Hjertsberg, have gone into
specialization with the greatest sue
cess. They hold up the idea to the
youngsters that II Is better to excel in
one event than to be haf-good In. a
. dozen.
The next Olymrics probably will be
held in Los Angeles. The international
Olympic Committee meets in Lucerne
next spring aud will decide between the
California city and Rome, which has been
maxine a strong bid for the games.
EUROPEANS WANT
TO COME OVER.
Los Angeles seems to be the favorite
! The Swedes, Finns,- nglish and French
disgusted with the manner In which tbs
games were conducted In Antwerp, have
demanded that the games be given to
America, not only because they believe
an American city can handle them best
but because they are anxious to get the
10y ride trip" to the Pacific coast.
Held In America, the next games would
not present as many problems for the
Americans that would be faced by the
necessity Of another long trip TO a for
eign country. The weather conditions In
California would be ideal for the Amer

THE PALMS.

The aisles of the forest a.e glorious to-
 day With the first flush of spring. while odor-
 ous vines Are decking the cypress, vestal and
 slim The gnarled. knotted oaks and tall state
 ly pines. NIagnolias are glistening against the blue
 sky, And shadows of cedars rest on the pool Which image the ferns lining dank oozy
 banks Where beasts of the forests lie down in
 the cool. Far removed from thees aisles a solitaire
 stands Fan-shaped and flung wide to heaven its
 houghS In praises unceasing, while ocean-swept
 breezes. The leaves of the palm trees eternally
 oruSe To glad aileluias. forever resounding Where oceans gray waste laps earths
 farthest shore And may we in faith at His feet, palms
 be spreading Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
