OLDT|MER WILL TOUR TIE FAST WITH FINE
 ALASKA MOVIE FILM

For the purpose of shOwig the Alas kan moving picture A Top of the World" throughout the East James Griffith Stephens, oldtime Alaskan, departed from Seattle last Monday via automobile to tour all the larger cities East of the Mississippi.
 This picture is the result of 25 years of film work just recently completed by the we'll knownn artist Beverly B. Dobbs It contains some 5000 feet of film depicting some of the wonder full scenes of the Northland. It has been endorsed by such institutions as the National Geographic Society, the National Board of Education of Alas ka, the Smithsonian Institute and oth- CTS as being one of the most wonder full pictures of the time.
 MT. Stephens is quite familiar with Alaskan conditions as he has spent many years in the North and has AL aska at heart he will be quite capable in carrying on this exploitation work. The picture itself has been shown in the State of Kansas by the Kansas City Star and has been lectured by Judge Martin F. Morgan another old timer of the North. Tn Kansas City None xhousands df inquiries hhwe poured into transportation offices and tourist bureaus for information con- cerning Alaska since the showing of this picture during the last school years. Some 10000 school children and adults have seen this picture and everywhere comment is made on it's value as to historical and descriptive facts.

Y VARIOUS events at the recent

proved that the younger MEM

Likewise, it was proved that the united

It is hard to say just what effect
TiIden's defeat will have had on the
other members of his team. 1t must be
remembered that the Davis Cup
matches are played on clay in Paris
That l believe, is in the Philadelphian'

they are on turf, where the ball doe:

be- as one of the reports of the mattel

he used the wrong tactics in his various
matches last year against Lacoste. Ac-
Cording to experts at Wimbledon. there
vas nothing wrong with Tilden's tactics
in their recent match. The former ma
tional titleholder mixed rs drives ano
chops cleverly from the back OF the
court. and never once failed To get IN
side the service line for the killing VOL
ley. That is, everything was all right
for the first three sets and a part OF
the fourth. After that, Lacoste APP
parently took command and worked en-
tirely on the idea that all he had TO do
was to keep the ball in play.
Mystery Stroke Not Used.
incidentally, I have heard so much
wonder Tilden didn't use 1t in the
match. read with much interest the
story that Hunter, rather than display
the new stroke, let himself be defeated
in the first round of the tournament,
and was therefore the hero OF the
American tennis public. Surely Tilden,
as captain of the team, had the privi-
lege of displaying this new marvel OF
the game if it was to help I'm TO VIC
tory.
A. any rate, l. for Une. do not pro-
pose to be downhesrted over Tiiden's
defeat at Wimbledon. The American
players have more than two weeks to 60
before the Davis Cup matches and many
things can happen in that time. Also, We
must remember that Big Bill and his
younger teammates had only a short
time to become acclimated before going
against the pick of the European play
ers. A little more practice of the
French side may work wonders with
their game.

After the noise and excitement of sail

into Shipboard routine and have begun
10 obey the first order Of their coaches
and trainerS~-to rest.
Many Are Underweight.
Relaxation is the principal prescrip-
ton for the first few days. Many of
the track and field stars who competed
in the final tryouts under the broiling
sun at Cambridge are underweight as a
result On this list are all four men
who will compete in the decathlon. An
aggregate Of SO pounds was lost by the
sll-around performers in their gruelling
two-dsy test. and Head Coach Lawson
Robertson has issued orders for them
10 take things easy until they have re-
gained the lost weight,
Robertson plans to start exercise for
most Of his track squad tomorrow, but
the workouts will be stationary. AL
though a linoleum running track has
been laid around one of the decks, run
ming for the most part will be taboo
There is too much danger of pulled
tendons and other injuries if the men
are allowed to run on such unsteady
footing. Coach Robertson believes. and
he does not intend 10 take chances.
Another coach who has put rest first
OF the program is Ky Ebright, coach OF
the California crew, the American entry
in the eight-oared rowing event The
Golden Bears began to prepare for ac-
tion almost as soon as the President
Roosevelt steamed out Of New York

ready for daily workouts. but they will
not begin to pull on the make believe
sweeps for another day or two.

sports for women are worth doing
they are worth doing well. and every
facility and encouragement should

and girls have the proper chance
10 improve by means of training
and competition.
A recent newspaper item from
Germany disclosed that a squad of
40 German women have been gath
cred at Frankfort for special
training course preparatory to the
Olympics.
This is the sort of thing which
is going to win, and / hope that with
women's track at last officially rec
ognized in the Olynpics this coun-
try will do its share in encouraging
competition for the erstwhile weak
er sex"
Back In ancient times. the his
torians tell us, women were not
permitted to witness the Olympic
games, and some of them. entering
the grounds disguised as men, were
elected with scant ceremony. but
at Amsterdam no DISCUSSES will be
necessary for the women. and some
of their accomplishments may sur
prise us
As for example. a women's 400
