HOLD TRIALS TODAY
IN COLLEGIATE MEET

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 30.-The
preliminary skirmish in the battle for
1924 Intercollegiate track and field
championship honors will be fought
out at the Harvard Stadium this aft
ernoon.
Close to 500 athletes, representing
thirty-one colleges, three from the
far west and twenty-eight from the
east, will participate in the qualify
ing tests to determine participants
in the finals tomorrow.
Trials will be staged in thirteen
of the fifteen events, including all of
the seven field contests and six of
the eight track features. The mile
and two-mile races will be run in
final heats only tomorrow.

Well, this is precisely the sort of
place into which John w. Heisman,
one-time coach at Georgia Tech, then
at Pennsylvania and last year at
Washington and Jefferson, has
dropped-Rice Institute, Houston,
Tex.
John merely took one glance at
Rice Institute, took one fieeting sur
vey of the conditions that obtain
like trout going after a silver

of picked. educators from the north,
Yale. Harvard and Princeton grads
mainly; the arrangements of fine
buildings Of the Spanish mission type
is adequate, and, in fact, Rice, ac-
cording to Heisman, seems without a
flaw. No tuition fee! Think of It.
A nominal sum per month for board
and lodging! Heisman says that Rice
has not done much with foot ball,
but he hopes to change ALI that in
season or two.
Perhaps he will. In fact the writer
feels certain that Heisman's present
mood OF enthusiasm will carry him
far in Texas. In the meantime, Heis-
man is planning to conduct school
for foot ball with classrooms in the
West Side Y. NJ. c. A., and a gridiron
laboratory out in Central Park.
In throwing the jKYelin a fraction
over 205 feet at the second annual
southern intercollegiate meet in At
lanta, Priester, the Mississippi A. and
NJ. star distanced anything ever done
in this country and came up to the
best marks of the Finnish champions,
EkQuist and Saaristo. Thus unexpect-
edly the United States gains specula-
tive credit as to our chances In the
Olympic games.
Berryman's ten seconds fiat, cred
tied to him in the southern meet, is
indeed surprising, as those in the
north who know of his work did not
expect it of him.
The attendance at this meet was
30 per cent larger than last year
an indication Of the forward impulse
of the track-and field movement in
Dixie.
As to the country generally, the
startling performances reported from
various important meets suggest that
the approaching international strug-
gle has acted as tonic upon our
athletes. We may not score de-
cisive victory in Paris, but certainly
indications point that way more
strongly than they did two months
ago.

Sarazen was as much impressed

with Genes game.
Sarazen's description of McDermott
in the match, which attracted a large
gallery, was somewhat as follows:
HE doesn't seem to be in the best
of health. He. looks undernourished.
At first he was rather embarrassed
and a bit nervous. He didn't play
we'll over the first few holes, but |
did notice that he played everything
out. regardless of where he was.
"On the last nine he regained his
confidence, and then he showed what
he was capable of. He played the
last six holes in par, without making
the slightest kind of mistake. He
was undoubtedly greatly enthused
about the match, and I think that if
he could play regularly he would
quickly recover"
