SECOND ROUND OF CAGE TOURNEY UNDER WAY TODAY
AMERICAS TRACK
SUPREMACY HEADS
FOR DEN0UEMENT
Yanks Must Climb Out Of Au-
tomobiles and Walk More
to Keep Atop

New York. March 2.-(AP)-
America may hold onto it's tradition
al track and field supremacy in the
coming Olympic games with the help
Of second and third places as it did in
the last Olympics, but thereafter it
will have to climb out Of its auto
mobiles and do some walking if it
hopes to stay on top.
So says Melvin w. Sheppard, one
time New Jersey farm boy who de.
veloped husky pair Of legs by walk
ing three miles to a little brown
schoolhouse every day, and a few
years later, in 1908, used them to win
two races single-footed for the
United States, and to help win a
relay. Footsore and shoeless, he
received q cup from the hand of q
queen for his efforts.
Walking Develops Stars
ut was plenty of walking that
did it" maintains the former Olym-
pic runner who now, as coach of the
Millrose A. A. track team, is faced
with the problem of developing good
distance runners out Of men who live
/ in the worlds biggest city, most Of
them miles from anything better
adapted to hiking than Central
Park.
"That little town where used to
live is lost now, swallowed up in
! Camden, N. j." Sheppard said. "It's
like that all over. We're a city ma.
ton now and it's bound to tell on our
running ability.
Look at the countries that are
best in the middle and distance
events-Finland, Sweden-sparsely
settled countries. England and
Germany, too, have more open coun-
try than we dc, at least here in the
east.
Look to the West
eyes, the answer is that we can
expect our best runners from the
west-the open spaces. There's Hahn.
He comes from Falls City, Neb.
1T isn't that way at all in sprint
ing though. You can't develop your
legs much in New York-too many
subways,' taxicabs, street cars and
pavements. But you can develop
nerves.
"We're a nation of nerves. A
sprinting nation. We sprint for the
subways. We sprint to the office.
We do dash and maybe q hop, skip
and jump every time we cross the
street.
Eyes, we'll have sprinters, but
we'll have to 60 back to nature
take some long walks-to get back
our middle. and long-distance SUI
premacy."

New York, March 2.--There's an
old, familiar magic in Macdonald
Smiths putter, menacing whine to
his woods and a confident click to
his irons that have forced the golf
ing wiseacres to take a new inven-
tory Of how the summers tourna-
ment spoils are to be divided.
Mac Smith. ruddy-faced youngest
member Of the Carnoustie Smiths, is
back "on," and the fact brings no
particular JOY to the professional
clan, who know that when he is able
to haul out all the shots in his
weather-stained bag there's no man
harder to catch.
Since 1910, when he first appeared
in the National Open to lose out in
the playoff with his brother, Alack,
ana j. j. McDermott, Mac Smiths
career has b en- a battle against such
odds as only i'll health can produce.
From that year until 1916 he was
mediocre campaigner, player
whose game steadily grew more
polished, but who was increasingly
unable to stand the physical strain Of
championship grind. He disap-
peared from the picture in 1915, GO
ing to California to pull himself to-
gether. and, because he had been al
most forgotten, he astonished golf
dom by finishing fifth, II strokes be-
hind Jim Barnes, in the Open at Co.
lumbia in 1921.
Followed Bob Jones
He was back again in '26 to come
in eight strokes behind Bobby Jones
and the following year to be II away
from Armour and Cooper. Then he
had another breakdown. That, even
his closest friends declared, was the
end of Mac Smith.
But for a man consigned to the
golf scrap heap, the kid of the
Carnoustie Smiths appears to have
been slightly underestimated as the
results of the winter golf campaign
are tabulated.

emerged triumphant by narrow mar

The Crimson has eight of its eleven

There will be a few outstanding

Wells Of Dartmouth in the hurdles,

Even Carr may have his troubles.

Linton Shows Strength

Linton proved that it will be a
contender for district honors by
overwhelming the weak Steele quin-
tet in the first Of the Thursday eve-
ming games by 80 to 10 tally.
Sautter. celever- handed forward
of the Lions. single-handed scored
enough points to have given the
Lions "a to 10 victory. His II
field goals were the outstanding
scoring feats Of the days play.
Linton had no trouble in rushing
the ball under the Steele hoop for
close shots and Steele could not seem
to cover the slippery Sautter.
Dahlquist was outstanding for the
losers, his dribbling being the only
offense that Steele could produce.
Linton led, IA to 0, at the end of
the first quarter, % to 5 at half
time, 81 to 10 at the third quarter
and closed with stalling game that
slowly raised the score to 80 to 10.

Livestock Decreases
Show Farm Thoughts

The number. Of carloads of live
stock shipped by rail from the
various shipping points Of North
Dakota increased from approximate
~ 10000 in 1924 to $4,000 in 1925
and to $4,000 in 1926, according to
Rex E. Willard, farm management
demonstration, North Dakota A4ri-
cultural college. The number Of car
loads decreased to about 10000 in
1927, however.
This rather steady increase in total
livestock from 1924 to 1925 without
question reflects the tendency that
prevailed in the minds Of North Da-
kota farmers since 1921 to remove
some Of the risks involved in ex-
elusive grain production.
The selling price Of other COM
modities, such as wheat, has Z bear
ing in the mind Of the farmer with
respect to his present and future
operations is the opinion Of Mr.. Viii
lard. Wheat was comparatively
cheap in the years from 1921 to 1924.
In 1925 the price Of wheat advanced
to the highest point since the de.
preston period began. This I'D.
vance and the high price wheat in
1926 affected the livestock business
| in 1927.
The decrease in shipments in 1927
90 compared to 1926 is accounted foI
| by the feed situation in 1926. Car.
load shipments Of cattle and hogs
| increased in the northern counties
and in northeastern North Dakota
from 1926 to 1927 but decreased IN
practically I'll the other counties.
