Frederick Roe, a Texan, who plays
for the Bryn Aawr club, is another
promising yoLngSter, a five goal man,
who is improving his handicap year
by year. Elmer J. Boeske, jr.. of
Santa Barbara rates at six goals and
Is now believed to he certain cam
didate SOr high international honors
withtu the next few years. George
g. Moore, also of Santa Barbara, is a
tw2-goal man, whose present play
warrants a higher rating.
The Interesting thing about our
olympic outfit, which rates at twenty
six goals, is its national aspect.
1it mbcrs have been selected from all
better than having purely an east
ern four, even granting that the lat
ter mighi be a stronger team.
Can Loren Murchison, easily the
sprintfng star of the indoor track
season. defeat Charley Paddock? The
answer to this question depends upon
what part of the country one halls
frora, At least he defeated the Cal
ifOrnian over the 100 yards in the
Olympic trials, losing in the 220yard
race.
Two seasons ago it looked as
though Murchison's legs had gone
back on him for good and that he
was out of track affairs. But a little
osteopathy did wonders for the Jer-
sey flyer and he was never in better
form in his life than he is right now.
Murchison has never been timed un-
der ten seconds for the century, but
somehow he always seems to reach
the tape ahead of the rest.
At the Olympics at Antwerp in
1920 Murchison was left at the mark
by the field because he started ac-
cording to what he thought were the
Instructions Most fair-minded, OBJ
servers say he of all the starters OBJ
served the rules.
But this year, at Paris, Murchison
says one thing won't happen: He won't
get left at the start again.
And" he added, mo one will fool
me on those French words, either
knute Rockne's ten-year contract
TO coach at Notre Dame ends period
which must have been an anxious one
for Loyal adherents of the South Bend
institution. 1t means the triumph OF
eleme.nts among the university alumni
who felt Rockne was the right man
in the right place.
Chile the period of uncertainty
WAS on. Rockne conferred with repre-
sentatiyes of various institutions who
had approached him with offers whose
f1attering nature was probably COM
menSurate with his prestige and abil-
ity. Princeton was considering him
as successor to Roper and at least
one conference was had but in the
end the Tiger foot ball committee de-
cfded it would besbeSt to stick to
alumni coaching.
The influence of Rockne's person
ality at Notre Dame is best exempli-
fed by the squad of nearly 200 men
out for spring foot ball, nearly 200
for track and $50 for base ball As to
track, ii should not be lost to sight
that Rockne is almost as gifted in
this field of sport as in teaching the
foot ball idea to shoot.
Showing what the will to do will
acromnliSh behold the University of
Michigan swimming, team captured
second place in the Big Ten meet in
spite of the fact that the Wolverines
do not own so much as bathtub
where the team may practice.
Michigan, by the way, is not get
ting so very greatly excited about
spring practice because twice week
all winter workouts have been con-
Quoted on the dirt floor of the Yost
field house. The squad has averaged
thirty-five men and much new mate
rial has developed.
