First American Team
To Enter Olympiad :
Before Next Friday

New York, March 14.-Active
participation of the United States in
the seventh Olympiad, at Antwerp.
Belgium, will begin with the cabling
of the entry of hockey team on or
before next Friday, which will be
the first formal entry by the Amer
leans.
This was one of many important
decisions reached at the meeting of
the American Olympic committee
here Saturday. Quick action was
necessary owing to the fact that the
entries close on March 10 and the
play begins April 20. Representatives
of the International Skating union
assured the committee that seven
of champion caliber was available
and that a squad of fourteen or
more players would be ready to sail
within two weeks unless untoward
conditions arose. 49,
President Wilson was unanimous
ly elected honorary president of the
committee and Mathew P. Halpin,
of the New York A. c. team
manager, the same position he held
on the American Olympic teams Of
1o06-0S. Dates were also selected
for the sectional trial games to be
held at Chicago, Philadelphia and
Pasadena, on June 20 and the final
tryouts allotted to the Harvard
stadium on July II.

Women's Tennis Match

!. San Francisco, March 14.-An
cast against west women's tennis
series, in which Mrs. Hazel Hitchkiss
Wightman, nationals champion, and
Miss Eleanor Goss. ranking second
nationally, will represent the easr,
is being arranged for March q by
the California Lawn Tennis associa-
ton. The two eastern players have
been visiting here for several weeks
past
|. Miss Mary Browne Of Los
Angeles, former national champion,
and Miss Helen Baker, San Fran
cisco star, it is considered likely,
will represent the west. The match
will be staged on the Berkeley Lawn
Tennis club courts, acfoss the bay
from San Francisco.
Little hope is held for an inter-
sectional set of matches for men to
be played on the Pacific coast. The
Intention of the national association,
to send teams to the English cham
pionships and to the Olympic games
makes such a meeting improbable,

CANDIDATES FOR
MAROON TRACK
TEAM GAIN PEP
Coach Adams Energies Cen
tered on Preparing Squad for
State Conference Meet.

The closing of the basketball
season last Friday night, and the
sudden arrival of balmy brand of
spring weather, has put pep" into
the candidates for Coach Adams
track squad which numbers nearly
IS Maroons.
Coach Adams energies are
centered on preparing Maroon
team for the annual state confer
ence field and track meet, May D,
at Nebraska Wesleyan university.
University Place, Neb. Manager of
Athletics P. L. Pressly, has also
announced that the university track
men would probably meet Trinity
college, of Iowa, and Wesleyan uni
versity in dual track meet the last
part of April or first of May. To
prepare his team for the coming
meets, Coach Adams has announced
that he will hold an inter-class
meet some time soon. The freshman,
sophomores and Juniors of the arts
and letters college. will enter teams.
while the pre-medics and pre-legals
will do likewise. The academies
will also have a team.
Good Material In Sight.
Adams has some very good ma
terial in school. and with his ability
to mold together a team, the" uni
versity should show some class in
track this year. O'Connors of last
year and Kemper and Baily, new
men this year, are track men of no
mean ability, while Wade Reeves
and Ray Phelps are both good
jumpers. Lorin Thompson who per-
formed so we'll in last years
state high school track meet break
ing one state record in the 40
yard run, and placing in both high
jump and broad jump, is one of
Adams best bets. Beacon and
Pressly of this years basket five are
out for the sprints.

when a powerful band of ASlerican
stars starts swinging in the English
championships.
Pirie, who is we'll versed in golf
ing conditions on both sides of the
Atlantic, doesn't take much stock in
rumors that have been drifting over
the ocean that Harry Vardon, James
Braid, ]. fl. Taylor, George Duncan
and Ted Ray, England's famous
group of open title holders, have
slumped in their play.
May Have Slipped.
Pirie, who formerly caddied for
Vardon, rather believes the MANY
times winner of British honors may
have slipped little, but that the
others are not far from the top Of
their game. Taylor especially is
regarded by Pirie as being in dam
gerously good form. According to
the association secretary, England
won't have a just alibi if something
goes wrong in the open tournament
in June.
against this formidable aggrega-
ton America will send Walter Ha-
gen, who, in Prizes estimation, is
the strongest American star that
ever sought foreign honors. Hagen
has the shots, temperament and
confidence to go like a whirlwind
on the other side, and Pirie is sure
he'll come near winning the Eng
lish~ title. which would be a feat
never before achieved by an Ameri-
can professional. Then Hagen will
be accompanied by Long Jim
Barnes, Jock Hutchinsons TOMMY
Mcnamara and possible Mike Brady
and Young Charlie Hoffner.

Over stretch of years England
has seen supremacy in many sports
pass to the United States. We are
now perched on the pinnacle of box
ing, athletics and tennis.
The despairing Briton, glancing
down the short list of sports where
his countrymen still hold the up
per hand, picks up courage when
golf is reckoned. All! here is a
game centuries old, one that Eng
land has safely defended against
the world, which means mostly the
U. S. A.
In former years the Britishs Isles
could probably produce 50 capable
players to every one developed in
this country. The record of inter-
national matches was topheavy with
English victories.
Travis Annexes One.
To be sure, Walter ]. Travis did
manage totannex the English anna
teur title about IS years ago, and
Francis Ouimet, when only a mere
youth, tfiumphed over Harry Var
don and Ted Ray, famous English
professionals. in the American open
tournament in 1918 at Brookline,
but in the opinion of our cousins
across the sea these two victories
were nothing but accidents.
Looking toward the future, these
same foreign critics are little
bit uncertain whether the mighty
Johnny Bull can retain his golf
ing laureis. Alex Pirie, secretary of
the American Professional Golf as
sociation, thinks British superiority
will be seriously rocked this year

HOPES FOR BIG
TRACK MEET At
OMAHA KILLED
Efforts to Bring Missouri VAL
ley Association Together
for This Year Prove
Unsuccessful.

The Missouri Valley high school
track meet will not be held ,in
Omaha or any other place this year,
according to Coach Harold r. Null
ligan of Central high school. Mr..
Mulligan was president of the Mis-
souri, Valley association in 1917, the
last time the meet was held.
The war was the reason for the
meet being indefinitely postponed.
Since then there has been little
action on bringing the association
to life again.
1t takes too much money to send
y the track teams to the meet" said
Coach Mulligan. "The schools can
not afford it. Should the meet be
held, Omaha is the place to have it
because it was selected by the last
meeting of the association. There
is no suitable place in Omaha for a
big meet"
s Little Chance for Meet.
THE meet would have broken up
as early as 1915 had it not been for
strong track enthusiasts in Kansas
City and st. Joseph" continued Mr..
Mulligan. But these men have left
school. l concluded therefore that
there is very little, chance of staging
the meet. especially this year"
The local high schools will have
to be content with the class, inter-
city and state meets this year. The
first two will be held in Omaha. The
annual state meet will be held in
Lincoln May IS.
The proposed meet between the
local and Council Bluffs high schools
is something new in this vicinity.
This is the first time that all local
high schools will have track squads.
Coach Mulligan has much mate
rial, although only two veterans are
back. Herman Swoboda, who placed
in the half-mile last year in the state
meet, and Howard Turner, high
jumper, are expected to repeat their
performances of last season. Swo-
bcda is good all-around track
man, and will enter the low, hurdles
aud possibly, the 440-yard run.
Turner Looks Good.
Turner will try the high hurdles
this year. and should do something
in.the state meet. Reryl Meston,
who took first place in the state
meet, is ineligible because of studies.
Floyd Green, who placed fifth in
the 100.yard dash. is back this year.
Frank D,hn is the only Central man
that has been practicing. Dohn has
Been working under Charles Nor
iarty at Creighton for the past week.

cali until April |. Coach Evans of
Commerce has already issued his
cali for track men, Commerce has,
some coed ,nen in Slane, Snygg,

Z Kline is a good hurdler and will
carry the brunt of the work on the
hurdles. Camera is a sprinter, do
inr the 100-yard dash in 10 3-5 sec
osds when he attended Cass school.
Coach Patton of South will issue
his call soon. Neiman in the sprints
and Card with the weights will prob
ably be South's chief factors this
year.
The Council Bluffs squad has
some good men in Mellor, Larsen,
Blythe and Owen. Benson may
enter the meet with only part of
track squad. Calvert is good man
in the sprints. ..|
The interscholastic city meet will
be held May or 8. The field has
not been selected yet, but it will
