American way Yankee cheering seems
unorthodox to Queens because the Eng
lsh are not accustomed to encouraging
athletes thus noisily. But the Penn
stars will not lose because of the absence
OF support.
The betting still favors Cambridge,
with its extraordinary quartet but
American takers are not backward. The
experts all concede the Americans will
be close second in the greatest inter-
national event of its kind that ever
England participated. Enthusiasm is
keen In the prospect of Brown, Stallard
and Milligan as anchor men, getting
off on the final lap, because they are
rated among the worlds best, with past
performance favoring Stailard by few
seconds.
1t rained all day and the track is
therefore heavy, minimizing the chance
of establishing a worlds record, which
is Cambridge's ambition. Tomorrow
threatens to be cold and stormy, which
Robertson thinks will be decidedly un-
favorable to the Americans but the
race will come off, rain or shine Head
will not start, but the remaining four
Americans are in topnotch condition.

CONFER TO-DAY ON
W0MEN'S ATHLETICS
Officials of A. A. U. and Other
Organizations to Outline
Plan of Development.

Officials of the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States and repre-
sentatives of other organizations inter-
ested in the promotion and development
of amateur athletics for women in this
country are to hold a conference this
afternoon at the Hotel McAlpin.
There is a demand for an organiza-
tion to promote and improve amateur
athletics for women in this country,
and 1t seems to be the consensus of
opinion among those who are interested
in athletic sports for women that the
Amateur Athletic Union is the organi-
cation which should administer amateur
track and field athletics for women.
just as it does swimming. Swimming
for women has improved wonderfully
since the Amateur Athletic Union as
sumed control in 1914. and records will
show that where there was one expert
girl swimmer prior to 1914 there are
hundreds to-day.
In all probability track and field ath-
letics for women will appear on the
program for the olympic games at
Amsterdam in 1928. and America will
want to be represented by a strong
team. England, France, Germany and
other countries are going in for ath-
