Athletics Under Control.
They are all powerful and it Is the
rules and regulations they formulate
which the athletic directors adminis-

are under the control of the educa-

been. When the athletic directors got
together and appointed a commits
sfoner Of athletics In tho Western
Conference their idea was to have a
man who would watch the trend Of
athletic affairs throughout the Big
Ten group. to the end that incipient
evils be detected and checked and
things kept straight generally.
One of the best things that could
happen in the east would be a COM

whose function would be to inspect.

America has always triumphed i'm

Swedes will prove worthy rivals
this year. The Firms were really
the heroes of the last Olympic in

than 300.
Each set of games has its hero
much the same as the world

In Antwerp the outstanding
figure was Hill, the veteran Eng.

death i'm the 800 and I,5G0 meter
