He never was the sensation on pro-

playing halfback for Illinois. but his
name drew thousands of dollars to the
foot ball games IN which he played.
The prominence OF his name gave
Grange numerous other chances to
profit. chiefly through testimonials for
manufactured products. His moving
picture contracts returned even more.
Pyle's success in promoting Grange
led him to branch out into other sport
fields.

Nebraska CoIIegian Stands
Out as a Contender in Stiff
Ten-Event Test.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Indian again is on the Olympic
warpath after an interval of 16 years.
Fait (ChieD Elkins. Nebraskan of
aborigfne blood, seems slated to pick
up the conquering implements In all
around athletic competition where his
redskin predecessor, Jim Thorpe Of Car
lisle. left of In 1912.
Thorpe, perhaps the greatest ALL
around athlete ever developed, won the
Olympic pentathlon and decathlon
championships In the 1919 Olympics at
Stockholm In cord-breaking style, but
these victories do not stand on the books
to the Indians credit. They were sum-
marily wiped out and the great Sac
and Fox athlete stripped Of his medals
when it was discovered he had profess
sionalized himself before the Olympics
by accepting q few dollars for profess
sional base. ball play, an unfortunate
offense against the amateur code that
Jim had committed In all innocence.
Elkins is out to regain some OF the
lost Olympic glory Of the redskin as
well as to add his name to those OF
Thorpe, Longboat. Sockalexis. Tewan-
ina and others of track and field fame.
There is no pentathlon on this years
Olympic program, but Elkins. on the
formances within the past year, will be
the American favorite to win the de-
cathlon, stiff lo-event test.
Greatest Since Thorpe.
with the possible exception Of Harold
Osborn, the Illinois schoolmaster, Elkins
bears the stamp of the greatest all
around. performer produced In the
United States since Thorpe was in his
prime. Osborn, Olympic decathlon win
ner four years ago. will not defend his
title this year, however, preferring TO
concentrate on the high jump, his other
speciality.
Elkins won the national champion
ship last year with 7.574.42 points. In
his most recent decathlon performance
he surpassed Osborn's world record OF
7,7i0775 points, made in the 1924
Olympics, besides improving on his own
national championship mark with q to-
tai OF T,8l297 points The chief regis
tered this healthy total in two-day
test at the New York Athletic Club park
all by himself. With the spur Of COM
petition. he might have done even
better.
The only achievement on record bet
ter than Elkins' high mark Is the total
compiled two years ago by the great
Finlander. Paavo Yrjola. who may turn
out to be the man Elkins must beat to
win the Olympic crown. Yrjola scored
1881. l.o3 points. but this mark has not
yet been officially passed on as q world
record
Elkins Is the most colorful. but not the
only outstanding American contender
for all-around Olympic berths. Closest

leadership is Jim Stewart. southern
