THE SPORTLICHT
By GRANTLAND RICE.

He has run the century in 905 and
several times in 9:06. Yet Simpson, one
of our greatest sprinters. was not on the
Olympic team last summer, when U. S.
needed its fastest men. The reason is
the obviously unfair system of selection
employed by the A. A. U.
The system of regional, sectional and
national trials in picking Olympic ath-
leteS is Just pure bunk. Men are worn
out before the finals are held. Every
one knew Simpson was fast last year.
Yet he had to go through all of the
trials and in the finals at Cambridge
was seriously injured and unable to
run his last race. Why not pick per-
formers upon their records and not
after they have been worn out by run
ming, jumping and throwing here, there
and everywhere? Our Olympic system
needs a lot of revision.

lenge that the veteran Paavo Nurmi

Purje shows equal willingness. say
ing he has been looking forward to
a meeting with Wide ever since he
began his track career and that he

little, is in fine condition and ex-

him in tonight's race. He added
a little more proof last night by
