CA|NPBELL ON {
Of OLYMPIC
FAVOR|TES
Stands Out Strongly Among
American Candidates for
Half Mile.

If Tom Campbell fails to qualify
in the final tryouts for the Olympic
team some of the best track judges
will have missed their guess.
In this year Of the Paris Olympiad,
Campbell stands out strongly among
American half.milers as he did in
1920 prior to the games at Antwerp.
The four years that have elapsed
since then have added to the former
Yale stars experience. His speed
and stamina are still with him.
AlonZo A. Stage, veteran Universe
ty of Chicago athletic director, once
remarked that Campbell was one OF
the best middle distance runners ever
developed in prep school. That was
while Tom was attending University
High School in Chicago in 1918.
Since then Tom has finished high
school, been through the war, com.
peted fairly successfully in the 1926
Olympics, graduated from Yale and
won several A. A. u. and Intercol.
legiate championships and captured
hundreds of races.
And today, at twenty-four years of
age, he Is generally picked to add
some points to Americas total in the
scoring column. Jake Weber, vet.
eran New York track coach, believes
the former Yale man will be one of
Americas middle distance main.
stays.
Weber goes farther and says that
Tom Campbell with any KIND of a
break should run away from his
field and annex the international
championship.

He said he was convinced that IN

He characterizes soccer football

N0RNAY'S
BEST, WILL TRY
DECATHLON
Probably Just as Good in That
Event as Jim Thorpe
Twelve Years Ago.

If the flag of the Kingdom Of
Norway does not float from the VIC
tory pole in the Columbus stadium
at Paris at the conclusion of the
Olympic Decathlon next July 1t will
be for one reason only, and that
will be because Charley Hoff, Nor.
ways superathlete, was unable for
one reason or another, to take part
in the Olympic ten event test.
Hoff is not only the greatest all
round athlete in the world today,
but as well he outclasses the rest
Of the world and is probably just
as good a Decathlon man as was
Jim Thorpe on the day that the big
Sac and Fox brave won the Decath.
Ion title at Stockholm, twelve years
ago.
Summaries Of the track and field
results achieved in Scandinavia last
year show that Hoff, who, by the
way, holds the worlds record for
the pole vault, is one Of the finest
all-round performers of all time.
Besides his tremendous vault of
over 13 feet inches, Hoff did bet
ter than "a feet in the running
broad jump and better than As feet
in the hop. step and jump. In the
runs the Morse champion did 200
meters in 22A seconds, 400 meters
in 40 Is seconds and 500 meters in
1856.
Though Hoff is not credited with
any 1923 hurdling performances, 1t
10 certain that, with his demon.
strated jumping and running abil.
ity, the Norwegian is capable OF
Swimming over the 110-meter high
hurdles in creditable style. 1t is
just as certain, too, that Hoff can
clear six feet or better in the high
jump. His 1855 "half' marks the
Norwegian as the best 1,500-meter
performer that ever essayed to win
the Olympic Decathlon.
This leaves but three events tc
be accounted for-discus, shotput
and javelin. Hoff weighs about 155
pounds. He is well muscled and
like Jim Thorpe, a born athlete
The answer is obvious.
Hoff is an indicated winner ir
not less than five Of the ten Olym
pic Decathlon tests-100 meters, 40C
meters, 1900 meters, vault and
broad Jump. He will be close ur
in the high jump and 110.metel
hurdles. No all-round contender
ever entered the Olympic lists with
such a tremendous advantage.

A Sport Editorial.

THERE you have a great sport
editorial, most timely, too,
- in the face Of the efforts of
those who would take the "foot"
tout Of football.
"No colt could ever become a
real race horse if he never 'ex-
tended himself never gave out
all the force in him." says Mr..
Brisbane.
Right there you have the best
argument in a few words ever
made for hard athletics, for the
humping brand of football, the
crashing kind Of basketball, the
cutting kind Of baseball, the
splashing kind of swimming, the
tempestuous kind of tennis, the
gripping kind Of golf.
Over at B. F. Keith's once we
saw motion pictures of an army
Of Czechoslovakians raising heir
arms in unison, dropping them in
unison. A waste Of time. The
captain said something about
there being 5000 men in that
dumb exhibition.
Well, what of it? Suppose
there were 10000, or 100000 in
that picture. What Of it?
The Washington times., 1924-01-17

The other day, it was Tuesday,
last, "Today" started off like
this:
Natives of the Fiji Islands are
dying out, for the queer reason
that they no longer go to war.
In war times they were always on
the alert, in fine physical condi-
ton. Now, with no fighting, they
sink down, lose ambition, die off.
Human beings are strange ami
mails, in the Fiji Islands and here.
Psychologists tell you that this
nation will deteriorate rapidly if
we continue, as at present, living
free from anxiety and real effort,
as are the majority Of US. A few
worry, and struggle, heaven
knows, at the top and bottom of
the ladder. But the majority of
US drift along, taking life easily.
Times are good; almost any sort
of man or woman can get a job,
and then keep it by using half or
one Quarter of his or her ability.
"That is called getting by in
the language Of shirkers, but is
really getting stale and running
to seed.
"No colt could become a real
race horse, if he never extended
himself never gave out all the
force in him.
"Human beings have come up
from mental and physical depths
by desperate and constant striv-
ing and struggling.

energy and value. Forces are

COLUMBIA WILL PLACE
TEN CREWS IN ACTION

Columbia University is making
an interesting experiment in the
coaching of the oarsmen this year
It is planned to put at least ten
crews on the water in the course
of the season, with the result that
the burden is too much for one
coach. So Fred Miller is head
coach, Waldecker will handle the
freshmen, and the committee has
obtained the services Of r. w
CCy'D Weed as advisory coach.
Weed is one of the greatest oars
men ever turned out at Cornell
has practical theories about teach
ing rowing, and has kept in close
touch with the sport ever since he
left Cornell with a great reputation
behind him in 1909.

BUILDERS
NOT BANDED
TOGETHER
Golf Architects Only Body Of
Professional Men Not
Having a Society.

At the recent annual meeting of
the United States Golf association
Green Section in New York city, it
was asserted that the golf architects
are the only body of professional
men in the world who do not have
a society devoted to the promotion
Of their special profession.
The apparent implications Of this
statement are that such society
would make for the promotion of
golf architecture and be an adVan-
tage to the golf architects m gen
eral. There is q rumor abroad that
some Of the golf architects strongly
favor forming such an organization.
In other professions such So
cietfes have been beneficial to the
members in various ways. Among
these may be included ID advance
ment OF the art, ~ establishment
of professional standards and quail
fications, 80 cooperation with re-
lated organizations, (D education Of
the public as regards golf architec-
ture, and (5) mutual protection.
It would be strange OF the con-
siderations which have led all
categories Of professional and bust
ness men to form societies and to
publish professional journals, did
not also apply to the golf archi-
tects. Thus there are numerous
societies Of professional men, such
as physicians, lawyers, architects,
engineers, artists, literary men,
teachers, churchmen, scientists, etc.
Practically every line Of business
now has at least one such organiza-
ton, including the lumbermen, the
seedmen, the real estate men, the
bankers, the clothing manufae-
turers, etc. There must be a real
advantage in such mutual associa-
tons, otherwise they would not be
so numerous.

FRENCH FIND NEW STAR
FOR PROFESSIONAL TITLE

According to a French journal of
sports, there is young profess
eional coming to the front In
France who may put a stop to the
quaint custom British pros have of
hopping over the channel and win
ming the French open champion
ship every year. This is Raymond
Botcazou, a brother of Yves, the
famous one-armed player.
Raymond Botcazou got his early
Golf training as assistant to Abe
Mitchell in England. Evidently he
profited by his association with the
long-driving Mitchell, for he won
the French native professional
championship at st. Germaine last
