ROBERTS STOCK &c.
y ADVANCING RAPIDLY
MAJORITY IN THE COUNTY WILL
NOT BE FAR BEHIND THAT
GIVEN COX.
From Tuesdays Daily Ilerald.)

tfrOm lueSddy s Dally tlefdld.)
Roberts stock is going up daily in
Maury county. 1t was evident from
the applause that greeted Senator
Webb's reference to the governor that
he was becoming much stronger in
this county. There is still disalfec-
ton inlsome places in the county that
will not altogether disappear before
the election, but as next Tuesday
draws near it is becoring more and
more APPARENT that the democratic
nominee will receive the bulk of the
vote of his party. Some democrats
even predict that he will carry the
county by 100 majority. That would
be only about 500 less than the normal
majority ma presidential year. On
the other hand some of his friends
think that 100 to 500 would be a more
conservative estimate. II depends on
the size of the vote. Cox will get prac-
tically the full democratic vote and if
he does he will carry the county by
800. In that event Roberts should
have not less than soc and maybe
900 majority. The organization in the
county is not as good as il might be.
but the voters are becoming aroused

RORES
BY DEAN SNYDER

A lot Of brains goes into college
athletics.
But this year coaches are WORKING
overtime trying TO turn out winning
timber Tor the q. S. Olympic team.
Here are some OF the best men In
the business.
Bill Roper's mind turns mostly TO
football while the other four naVs
brought out some OF the best Ant
werp possibilities OF the year.
Fitzpatrick is on his way TO Eng
land with the Princeton Tigers star
track squad, where they are 10 COM
pete against the cracks Of Oxtorc
University on July 5.
Princeton Abroad.
This will eliminate the best bal
anced team which ever wore the
orange colors from the Olympic try
outs and from the world meet unless
special arrangements are made to
include them later. But right now
there seems little hope that this will
be done.
The other three-Lawson Robert
son, Of Penn, Jack Moakley Of Cor
nell and b. Martin OF Penn State
are in the limelight as selections for
the U. S. coach OF the Olympic team.
II is almost a certainty that eithel
Robertson or Moakley will get the job.
Either Of them Is a worthy man for
the honored position.

When Moakley was approached on
the subject he looked thoughtful and
replied:

much consideration, but II the com
m!ttee wants me to fill the position.
