might proceed in his 1929 ambitions
with the stimulus Of hope that the A
A L authorities are interested.
Certain it is that track and neld
coaches throughout the country nave
their eyes on the Rocky Mountain
conference for the first time because
of the exceptional development OF the
sport in the Rockies. and that the A.
A. L. officials are not overlooking this
region.
The marks and times made in track
and field in the milehigh altitude
compare very favorably with those in
the Eastern and Big Ten and Mis-
souri, Valley organizations and even
in such events as the mile and the
two. requiring sustained effort and
thus endurance, there is very little
difference in the performances of
mountain athletes and those of the
lower sections of the Nation.
Efficient Organizations.
The Rocky Mountain Conference
itself is a very efficient organization
and will doubtless be able to lend CON
structive support to the local A. a. u.
authorities who have the ambition to
put Colorado. Wyoming. Utah and
Montana athletics on a higher plane.
= II is growing more and more OBJ
vious that national organizations con-
Quoting various sports have got to
take a practical interest in cities west
of the Mississippi as settings for ma
tional events. Otherwise there will
sooner or later be a division which
will be a very serious calamity to
sport in its countrywide aspects.
The A. A. u. has been more pro-
gressive in this respect than the ma
tional and lawn tennis bodies, but
even so, more can be done. and more
must eventually be done. AS for golf,
there is an ever-increasing demand
for a far Western setting for the ma
tional amateur and the open.
In the Rocky Mountains the track
situation is ripe for exploitation. Men
of Drawn and stamina and natural
ability breed out there. and il onl' in
the interest of our continued prestige
in the Olympic games. it is important
that these mountain-breds be en-
couraged.
