be sent abroad at a cost Of from $780,,

Although no coaching selections yet

ly that Lawson Robertson of the Uni

coach the track squad, aided by other
experienced mentors. Robertson has
had a large hand in the shaping of
preliminary plans, and already has
been given considerable responsibility
in the organization and housing work.
Olympic committee members regard
prospects also as particularly bright
in such sports as rowing, swimming,
boxing and wrestling, all of which
will be held during the two weeks

He says:
Shift Play Hurt.

lateral passing and as unaccustomed

-Four years from now, lateral pass

favoring the use of more fast ana

This last sentence, by the way, is
very important to remember. The
point does not seem to have occurred
to other coaches.
Lou Little. the successful George

Alexander as to the time required
to develop proficiency in the lateral.
