that music has a definite place in
my life and, as leader of the Yale

nance in the intercollegiate meet, II
it is a good one. and consider me for
an alternato's appointment on the
American Olympic team
Ross, therefore, has a double In

ROSS INTERESTED
MORE IN MUSIC
Yale's Best Quarter Miller Promi-
nent Member Of Clee Club

Cambridge, Mass, May % R-
Music means more to Lancelot Ross,
Yale's best quarter miller, than
Olympic track honors. Ross, who
will participate in the c. A. A. A.
mpionship meet at Harvard sta
dunn here this Friday and Saturday.
is leader of the Yale Glee club and
one of the greatest tepors in college
ranks.
Though he stands an excellent
chance of winning a place on the
American Olympic team, he will not
take part in the tryouts here early
in July because that would prevent
him from sailing for Europe with
the Yale singers on June %.
Ross finished second in the quar-
ter mile at the 1927 intercollegiate
games and is one of the favorites in
the coming meet. Fred Alderman
who won the quarter mile title a
wear ago while competing for Mich
lgan State, is not returning to de-
fend his title and he was the only
one who led Ross to the finish.
Ross won both the 200 and
"440" in the Harvard-Yale dual
meet here last saturday. His time
for the quarter was 40 3-5 seconds
On May 5th he won the quarter jr
the fast time of As Is seconds al
the Yale Pennsylvania dual meet al
phila delphia, This time was tho
fastest made by any eastern college
quarter miller this season.
The Yale runner appears TO be
the only eastern quartermil who
has a. chance of defeating Emerson
Spencer of Stamford for the inter
collegiate title. If Ross does well or
Saturday. there is a chance that The
American Olympic committee may
permit him to go TO Amsterdam
without participating in the Olym
pic trials.

The winners showed that they had

efforts limiting the losers 10 but four

Moreover, he has taught not one
