~ALLAUDET College expects to
have two of the best Spring
Y sports teams it has turned out
in wears. The Kendall
Greeners are banking on one
of their best track squads and feel
confident that from their base ball
squad will be picked one of the strong
est mines that have represented the
school in the last decade.
Last year Coach Teddy Hughes
handled both base ball and track. but
the two sports confiicted to such an
extent that he decided TO try to get
some other man to take charge of the
latter this Spring, especially in view
of the optimistic outlook.
Several men were considered and
from these it is likely that "Zuke"
Supplee. all-around track and field
man at Maryland the last three years,
will help out. 'Zuke,' as he is IA
miliarly known around College Park,
ought to be able to give lot of help
to the Kendall GreenerS, as he took
part in practically every field event,
and some of the running competitions.
Gallaudet back IS years ago had a
base ball team that was one of the
best herea abouts. It's mainstay was a
left-hand pitcher of the name of Dill.

something above his shoulders to tell
him how to use it.

Rockwell was captain and shortstop,
the Kendall Green school had another
mighty good nine. but since that its

Hughes expects to turn out a combi,

thought Gallaudet's track prospects
too good for him to attempt to handle

that the chances for a good squad are
not poor, to say the least.

"A track star and conqueror of
Il 4 of Paavo Nurmi, who is train
ing at Georgetown University
FOR his first two-mile indoor race in
New York Saturday, claims. Wide is
convinced that the best method of
getting results is to do things when
ever he feels like it and in the manner
preferred by himself.
Wide arrived in Washington on
Monday with his fellow countryman
and interpretery Usta Sandemar. He
came to visit his friend and fellow
countryman. Eric Kjellstrom. stu
dent at Georgetown. He found the
climatic conditions and the track at
the Hilltop so to his liking that he
decided to remain in training there
until Easter.
Startles G. L. Trackmen.
The Swedish star somewhat startled
the track devotees at Georgetown on
Monday by running three times dur
ing the day. One workout each day
has been the Georgetown system of
training and when Wide appeared
for his third jaunt around the cinder
path Coach John ID. O'Reilly's track
athletes were somewhat puzzled. His
single workout yesterday left the
Georgetown students still more at
sea.
Wide explained that he felt like
running three times on Monday and
only once yesterday.
He follows his own idea in eating
too. He never eats more than two
meals day, at 1870 and $50. but
will skip one or both of these if he
does not feel like eating.
Athlete Knows Himself.

says. "1t is well for a youngster in

SIX INDIANS, WOMEN
AND MEN, WILL RACE
By the Associated Press.

AUSTIN, Tex, March 23.-SiX Tara
humara Indian runners - three men
and three women-were encamped in
a hotel here today in an effort to ac-
climate themselves for marathon races
Friday in connection with the Texas
relays. The men will run 81 miles
and the women 26.
Three of the Indians complained of
swollen feet on their arrival from the
mountains of Mexico last night, as
result of coming in contact with steam
pipes in a Pullman. Their worries
vanished for time when they were
allowed to unpack a supply of native
food.
Accompanied by a trainer, inter-
prefer and a chaperon, the Indians

entered the hotel dressed in the more
formal native garb. The men wore
blue denim suits. while the women ap-
peared with bobbed hair, neat dresses
and shawls. All wore sandals, but
none had stockings.
Interviewers found conversation a
tedious procedure, as the interpreter
had to be addressed in Spanish, which
was translated into the native tongue.
The men will go to San Antonio to-
morrow to start their race at o'clock
Friday morning. They expect to GOV.
err the distance in about eight hours.
The women will start at Kyle, 26
miles from here. and accompany the
men to the stadium.
The Mexican government furnished
81 500 to send the athletes here.

Edwin Wide is a much more attrac-

runner at distance beyond the mile.
1t may be that he will do better work
at the mile, but that is not so sure.
Nurmi was a great performer, but
was colorless. He got out and ran so
methodically that he was Just a run
