 The Trinity Methodists showed a surprisingly complcte reversal of form, cast off their season-long jin%, and smashed the Blue Army by 5a-2o, tying their victims for fourth place. It was the record high score of the league. 4 week before the Methodists had been noticeably weak in passwork, but this Satur- day they worked in great fashion and had the Bluebirds completely bewildered, breaking away inces- sanity for easy shots and getting clear in mid-foor 10 sink long ones when the Blue defense moved back

AMERICAN STARS
 WILL BE LIMITED
Mostly SprinteIs and Hurdlegs
 for Olympic Team

New York, March IA tP)- Americas strength on the Olympic track in Amsterdam in 1928, as has become legendary will be confined almost entirely to the sprinters and the hurdlers.
 Despite the earnest efforts Of coaches and athletic directors it seems impossible to develop middle distance Or long distance runners as good as those in England and the Scandinavian countries while foreign countries are slowly but surely get ting up 10 American form in sprint ing and hurding.
 America lost the 100 meters dash in Paris and won the 900 meters but if form holds. the team should win both events this year. Germany. however, has in kornics ih3 sprinter for 100 maters and o15 for 200 meters which qualities him as serious threat.
 Americas short distance hopes will be delegated 10 Charley Pad dock. world record holder: Charley Borah. national champion; Roland Locke, world record holder for 220 yards; De Hart Hubbard and selec- tions from group consisting of Scholz. NcAllister. Miller. Hussey, Murchison, Bowman and Russell
 Tn addition to the German threat there will be Lidde,l and Butler. of England; Peterson of Sweden and Mourlon of France.
 America took second and 3 fifth place in the 400 meters in Paris and will hare to hustle to do better next year, Americas best strength is now represented by Kenneth Ken nedy. Horatio Fitch, Cecil Cooke, Jimmy Burgess and Phillips, of But lc. college, Liddell of England, and Peltzer of Germany. proha ply will be the favoritcs.
 The half-milers headed by Ava Martin. national champion and Wal ter Caine are faster than the run- ncrs who took third and fifth places in the soc meters in 1924 but there aren't as many and the competition will be harder against Lowe, Eng land. the 1924 champion and Peltz- CT, the German star Lowe did l;52 IA last summer for 500 meters and Peltzer did 1858 3-5 for S8o yards, Martin is q l:52 3-5 man for 3S0 yards.
 About the only hope the Ameri- cans have in the 1900 meters is that Lloyd Hahn will be able to finish in a higher position than the fifth and sixth scored by the American n team in Paris.
 Hahn is vastly improved runner but he will be running in field consisting of Nurni Wide. Ritola. Martin of France and Peltzcr of ' Germany. who seems to be a team in himself.
 Phillip Posif. an eighteen year old Indian, carries the slight hope that the American coaches have for any points in the 500 and 1000 meter runs.
 With flock of stars available, the lln-meter high hurdles look safe.
 Kinsey, the 1924 champion. will be available and with him are Leighton Dye, national and inter collegiate champion. Robert Max

Human Nature Resents Prohibitions.
Vancouver, B. c., Tribune.)


Lists of best sellers in the literary journ-
ais all show Sinclair Lewis's novel, Elmer
Gantry.' to be among the six most popular
works of fiction from the buyers standpoint,
despite the general consensus of opinion by critics
and reviewers that it is piece of bitterly biased
anti-clerical propaganda, and much below his
general standard of work.
What is the reason for this big sale of Ell
mer Gantry?" 1t has sold well because it was
banned in Boston and in a few other places.
Spite of all the book reviews that have appeared
in the Western Tribune, it was the only book
in the past year that esteemed family OF
daughters requested to bring home from the
office, and their interest faded when they learned
that it was on sale in the bookstores in Van
couver, and that the ban not effective out
here.
No better fortune can happen to an author
today than to be banned 1t means big sales
and much publicity. dozen authors have been
banned into fame and fortune in the past few
years. including James Branch Cabell for 'Jur-
gen. and Theodore Dreisers "An American
Tragedy
Among the more recent novels banned in Bos-
ton are Warwick Deeping's "Doomsday," Upton
Sinclair's "Oil," Lewiss Elmer Gantry," gentle
Chris Wards Startling Pascal's ''The Mar
riage Bed" May Snclairs 1.-The Allinghams,
Ernest Hemingway's THE Sun Also Rises The
World of William Clissold," by II. G. Wells
Manhattan Transfer" and "Nigger Heaven"
As there is heavy fine for vending these
books, Boston people buy them darky under
counter for $500 apiece instead of openly over
the counter for $3.50
The best governed countries are those that
have the fewest laws. Censorships may be neces-
sary for moving pictures in Canada to save us
from seeing too many Stars and Stripes in the
