British Offer Stirs
Penn Track Athletes

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. Irwin
the arrival OF the official invitation
from the Achilles Club, OF London,
composed OF former Oxford and Cam
bridge athletes, for the University to
send a relay team to compete in the
first set of Intercollegiate and Inter
, scholastic relay races held in Eng
land, plans are being made to have
the Red and Blue properly repre-
scented.
b. G. ID. Rudd, in whose name the
Invitation was extended, told the
Pennsylvania authorities they might
select their own distance. Pennsyl-
vania will name either the two or the
four mile relay. Final decision will
not be made for some weeks.
The team in all likelihood viii sail
from this country on March 90 and be
back about ten days before Pennsyl-
vania's own Relay Carnival. There Ia
possibility that the athletic author
tiles of France will arrange a race in
Paris for the Red and Blue athletes
before their return.
The trip to England has raised
great interest In track sports at Penn
sylvania. The Rcd and Blue Is par
ticularlyy happy over the fact that
its own relay carnival Is being taken
as the model for the English games
As both Captain Rudd and Sir Theo-
dore Cook have written Pennsylvania,
the English are convinced that relay
racing win do for them what II has
done for America.

manufacturers of sporting goods
in the form Of . considerable re-
duction in the price Of the imple-
ments Of their game. The decision
already has been. made by the
manufacturers, and formal an
nouncement will be made in due
time. The announcement Of the
reduction in the price Of golf balls
followed closely in the wake Of the
news Of the cutting off Of the tax
on sporting goods. Golfers had
been working on the problem Of
reduced prices and the manufac-
'turers saw the light almost innme-
diately. The announcement in re-
gard to lawn tennis goods has been
longer delayed, but will take ef-
feet at the same time.
While II is impossible to quite exact
prices just at this time, It In certain
that the leading lawn tennis balls,
which retailed at $7.20 per box Of q
dozen q year ago, will como down to
( IS per dozen. The SIS and SIS
recQuets Of q year ago will be retailed
for $3.50. The racquets which sold
last year for $3.50 will be put on the
market at $40.
These reductions are considerably

there will be no reduction in the prloe

man who is thoroughly informed on
these matters. St@ rs
1t is possible. however, that the

tering into the game of lawn tennis
will DO gradually reduced, the general
scaling down coming In connection
with reductions in all lines Of sporting

The Pennsylvania State Highway
Department announced that the high
way route connecting Lancaster and
Harrisburg has been thrown open to

Former Excuses
(By Associated Frcss.y

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The threat.
ened railroad strike was recognized
in high official circles today as hav-
ing developed into the first real test
of the practicability of the Railroad
Labor Board. The outcome of the
negotiations now in progress, it was
declared, would determine whether
an entirely futile" agency has been
created.
Prominent in the defense put for
ward by labor leaders in every con-
troversy in the past, it was pointed
out, was the plea that there was no
legally constituted body before whicn
they could lay their grievances, or to
whose impartial judgement they
could submit petition for relief. With
the Labor Board expressly created to
fill this gap assurance was given to-
day that it would be permitted to
have a free hand in its efforts to
meet the initial test provided by the
disagreements of the railroads and
their employees over wage schedules
and working conditions. The cabinet
gave onl ypassive attention to the
subject at its regular meeting and
there was no official statement on
any phase of the strike Forthcoming
from any branch of the government.
