The selections will not be made
until after the official tryouts next
June, but it can safely be said that
the bulk of the men now in action
will be on the team. There will be
a merry battle for the honors and

choices.

heels to a fast field in the 66O-
yard championship, one of the

to many Of the candidates for the
Olympic team.
Another interesting event on the
program will be the sixty-yard dash
for girl athletes. Marion McCartie,
the sensational sprinter, will start
from scratch and will allow liberal
handicaps to more than a dozen
talr sprinters who will oppose her.
MISS McCartie is going to try for

A native Texan is going out for
the long driving hOnOrs. His name
is DOlph Van ArsdaIe and he is
a product of the Municipal course
there.
He is big, powerful, strong
shouldered youth and his carry and
roll have brought him to the 365-
yard fifth hole on a MINDLESS day.
He Is inclined to be wild, out by
actual measurement he has driven
a ball further on the San Antonio
course than any of the prominent
professionals who have played there
for the past three or four winters.
Driving contests in both this
country and abroad have brought
surprising results in as much SIS

The long record-breaking smashes
one hears about now and then are
usually made under favorable con-
ditions. There is q wind to aid or

Miss wills is too bashful and pub

ing interviewed proposition. She is
afraid Of newspaper men and whet
they will say. Or. at least, she was
up until the time that she won the
title. A fresh instance Of this is
found in an interview recently re-
ported from California.
IT am afraid of reporters" she is
quoted as saying. "They are liable
to say you said things which you
did not say at ALL" Everything else
that was wormed out Of the cham.
pion came slowly. About the most
interesting remark they were able
to win was that she was not yet
certain that she could go abroad.
She was waiting for the dates, to
see II these fit in with her plan.
Miss Wills will not be through
with her studies until May, and
she says she wants to get back to
them by August. This must he

ers make you say when you don't
say them. Or, perhaps, Miss
Wills wasn't thinking very deeply
when she made the remark. For
If she goes back to her studies Dy
August, she will lose her title as
wOmen's champion Of the United
States by default, and It doesn't
seem probable that she will do
this.
Apparently the holding of the title
is not going to mean that the cham
pton is going to devote any more
time to the game than she gave to
It in the past. This is a good thing,
for the tendency of the prominent
player is too often to devote entirely
too much time to the game.
"I do not think, all told" she
says, that 1 will play in an more
tournaments than I did last year. d

or two Journeys about the city here
