IE cooking forward to the Olympic
games. and The hurdles who will
compete, we turn with some inteles s.
to previous records made by both
Eurorcans and American athlete,
Of the European countries, the
English and Swedes will show up
best in the high hurdles, but Austria
liza will outrank either of these. None
however, can strictly speaking be
compared to American hurdles.
Wilson of Australia is about the
nearest in ability to them. He has
run the highs in 1871.
The best record that Swedish hurd-
lers have made in 1852, while the
Englishmen have never beaten that
time.
In America there have been over
fifteen men who have run 1871, while
six men have officially run Is flat.
They are: Smithson, Kelly, Murray.
Barron, Thompson and Simpson.
The worlds record, which is held
by Bob Simpson, is 14:3. He has run
14:4 officially six or seven times.
and 1913 twice, officially.
The probable contenders in the
Olympic games this summer for
Sweden will be- Levin and Hultin;
for Australia, Wilson and Kendell
and for England, Gray.
Thompson has just announced that
he will run for Canada instead of
America, and he will be strong con-
tender for the honors.
The American representatives VIII
probably be picked from the follow
ing: Fred w. Kelly, Carl Johnson of
Michigan; Smith, of Cornell; Erd-
man of Princeton; Barron, of Meadow
brook A. c., with possibility of new
finds in the coming track season.

sion of the advisability standard
wage.
Every agricultural organization in
every county of the state had been
visited to send at least one represen-
tative,
Last year the standard wage was
so cents an hour TOR a ten-hour day
with extra pay for overtime. But a
survey of wages paid last year Shows
that as high as $3.50 per day with
food and lodging was paid in a few
counties in the central western part
of the state, while few eastern and
western counties paid as low as $3.50
per day. Other counties fluctuated
between these two extremes. One
community paid SIS day.

HURDLERS WORLD BEATERS,
SIMPSON SAYS

In the 1908 Olympics at London
Smithson of America won the high
hurdles in Is flat, which is the pre-
sent Olympic record. Fred W. Kelly
ran them in Is Ito at the 1912
Olympics held in Stockholm. Thus,
in order to break the present Olympic
record, the time must be under Is
seconds. Upon first glance, Fred w.
Kelly, of the United States, and Earl
Thompson of Canada, are the only
two men who appear to have chance
at breaking this record.
The 200 metre low hurdles has not
been an Olympic event since 1904.
If it were, the American low hurdlers
would show their superiority easily
over foreign competitors. Hillman
of America ran it in 24:3 in the games
at st. Louis in 1904.
They will, however, hold 400
metre hurdle race. An American
holds the worlds record for the 440
yard hurdle race, which is longer
race than the 400 metre event. This
record of 54:4 was made by "Bil"
Meanix. This time is better than any
foreigner has ever run the shorter
distance OF 400 metres. In 1904,
Hillman ran this race of 400 metres
IN So flat.
Possible candidates in the United
States for this event are Meanix, the
oomis brothers, and Smart. ell Of
che Chicago Athletic Association;
Bill Sylvester, of Missouri Univer-
siry, and House and Johnson, Of
Illinois A. C.
There is wide field of contenders
though and new men may spring up
at any time.
In the past Olympics America has
always been supreme in the hurdles
and it is up to the present day
American hurdlers to keep up the old
time standards.

want free life and want fresh air;
And sigh for the canter after the
cattle,
The crack of the whips lik ethe shots
in battle
The nelly of horns and hoofs and
heads
That wars and wrangles and scatters
and spreads
The green beneath the blue above,
And dash and danger, and life and
love.
And Lasca. Lasca used to ride
On mouse-gray mustang close to my
side,
With blue serape and bright belled
spur;
Laughed with joy as | looked at her
Little knew she Of books or of creeds;
An Ave Maria sufficed her needs;
Little she cared, save to be by my
side,
To ride with me, and ever to ride,
From San Saba's shore to Lavaca's
tide.
She was as bold as the pillows that
beat,
She was as wild as the breezes that
blow;
From her little head to her little feet
She was swayed in her suppleness to
and fro
BY each gust of passion; sapling
pine,
That grows on the edge of Kansas
bluff,
And wars with the wind when the
weather Is rough,
Is like this Lasca, this love of mine.
She would hunger that | might eat
Would take the bitter and leave me
the sweet;
But once, when made her jealous for
fun,
Al something I'd whispered, or look
ed, or done,
One Sunday, in San Antonio.
To a glorious girl on the Alamo. g..
She drew from her garter a dear lit
tie dagger,
Adjusting Of wasp!-it, made me
stagger
An inch to the left, or an inch to the
right,
And shouldn't be Numbering here
tonight;
But she sobbed, and, sobbing, so
swiftly bound
Her torn reb0so about the wound.
That quite forgave her. Scratches
don't count
In Texas, down by the Rio Grande
Her eye was brown-a deep, deep
brown
Her hair was darker than her eye;
And something in her smile and
frown
Curled crimson lip and instep high,
showed that there ran in each blue
vein
Mixed with 'milder Aztec strain,
The vigorous vintage of Old Spain.
She was alive in every limb
With feeling, to the finger-tips;
And when the sun is like a fire,
And sky one shining, SOY sapphire,
one does not drink in little sips.

I sat by her side, and forgot-forgot;
Forgot the herd that were taking
their rest,
FORGOT the air was close opprest,
That the Texas norther comes sud.

THIS BELOVED POEM WILL BE s
