" PsoM DOWNS, England June 4.
l. The EPSON Derby. ancient
classic of the English turf, rules
IL all Britons tomorrow.
Thirty one of England'S
choicest three-year-olds have been Sc
lected to battle for the honor and glory
awarded the winner of the worlds most
celebrated horse race.
Five million people have wagered
hundreds of thousands of pounds in
the gigantic London Stock Exchange
and Calcutta Sweepstakes and other
similar pools throughout the United
Kingdom.
The Calcutta and Stock Exchange
sweeps alone involve about $4,000, 900
each, holders of tickets on the winning
horse to receive in the neighborhood of
$625 900.
From city, farm and hamlet the null
titude began pouring into this quaint
little English village today. For in Eng
land every one goes to the Derby. 1t
is a national pilgrimage in which all
classes participate, from King to cos
termonger, from landed lord to wander
ing gypsy. Londoners turned their
joined the early arrivals by train, tram,
cart, bicycle and on foot.
Quarter Million to Watch.
The influx of Englands populace is
expected to exceed the quarter million
mark this year. The huge grandstand
built in the bowl-Uke setting of the
Downs course and adjacent standing
room furnishes some kind of an ac-
commodation for nearly 100000 people.
Across the rolling, grassy, wind-blown
downs. above EPSON, the famous Derby
course stretches out long mile and a
half-frst uphill, then down again. It
provides for the proud and youthful
blueblood racers a most strenuous test
Of stamina.
The Derby track lies in the shape Of
an elongated horseshoe. The start Is
made at the shank of the shoe farthest
| from the grandstand-nearly 800 yards
| from the structure. The finish IS in
| front of the royal box, where King
George will be missing for the first
time in recent years.
The first long half mile of the course
is run uphill, while the second four fur
| longs sweep in q sharp crescent along
an approximate level. Going into the
final third of the course, the Derby can can:
| didateS turn "Tattenham Corner" ano
swing into the down-hil homewaro
dash.
Reaching the last phase of the ex-
hausting struggle, many colts are toe
| far gone to make use of the easy
descent. But horses with staying power
come laundering down the stretch tc
set the crowd wild with whtrlwine
| finish.
Condition Of the track, which has be-
come hard because of lack of rain, may
further cut the field before post time

England Scorcl'es With Racing
Ferer as MuItitudes Concierge
On Epson for Classical Derby

Because he did not desire to risk injur-
ing his horse, Lord Dewar scratched
Macnab yesterday, while Lord Wollav-
ingtons Walter Gray and the Duke OF
Portland's Leonard are considered
doubtful starters.
Betting today failed to dislodge VS.
count Astor's Cragadour from the posi-
ton of the favorite, although Lord Der
by's Hunters Moon and Maj. Mccall
monts Mr.. Jinks were strongly played.
Future betting quotations have made
Cragadour the popular choice at 6 to l,
with Hunters Moon at z to l and Mr..
links at II to o. Lord Derby's entry
lost some of his popularity last week
when he pulled up after workout with
sore shins.
Hopes of American victory lie in
P. D. O., owned by Gordon Selfridge,
the man who successfully introduced
American department store merchan-
dising in England, and A. K. Ma
comber's The Carthaginian. P. D. @. Is
quoted at 40 to 1 in the future books,
while Macomber'S racer is one Of the
rank outsiders in the speculation.
Four times the Derby has been won
by Americans-Pierre Lorillard's Iro-
quois in 1881: the late w. G. Whitney's
Volodyovski in 1901: the late Richard
Croker's Orby in 1907, and the late
n. Is. duryea's Durpdr IL, d %u-1o-I
shot, in 1914.
The Derby received its initial running
in 1880 under the guidance of the Earl
of Derby, but it was not until 1877 that
Lord Derby furnished winner. Sir
Peter Teazle won that year and then in
1924 another Lord Derby colt. Sanso-
vino, won the classic For the first time
in several years King George will not
have a starter, his sole entry, Glaston-
bury, having been withdrawn early in

Northwestern supports the intramural
program and furnished the downtown
school with athletic facilities.
Ohio State has bought land for sew
eral intramural sports buildings, to be
paid for by foot ball receipts.
Purdue has bought much additional
land and improved it.
Indiana has bought additional land
and erected a fieldhouse.
There's where your dollars go, Mr..
Foot Ball Fan.
Await More Funds.
In addition to the above each Of the
universities has plans for supplying
further facilities as rapidly as funds are
available The universities which have
been most prosperous from the stand
point of foot ball receipts have gone
the farthest in increased facilities.
Furthermore, these universities have
been instrumental in financing to a
large extent, If not entirely, from foot
ball receipts such activities as student
bands, student festivals, dramatic art
and so on.
All money received from athletic con-
tests in the Big Ten goes into the State
treasures, or into the regular univer-
sity treasures, and is expended in &C
cordance with budgets approved by the
respective boards of control of the uni
versities. In each of the Big Ten schools
athletic funds are under the control
and administration of the general uni
versity authorities and are expended &C
cordingly.
Illinois is this year erecting building
to be devoted to the game Of ice hockey.
1t will cost something like 100000. 1t
would not have been possible but for the
profits Illinois makes in its foot ball
season.
This Summer Illinois is also replacing
q section of end seats with concrete.
The two items will cost half million.
Illinois Is not at the top. Michigan has
greater foot ball crowds for q season
and makes much more money than I'LL
nois. Chicago, Ohio State and Wiscon-
sin make great profits.
And foot ball. besides interesting .
nation, does all this.

College VigiIantes.
THE drastic action of Western Con-
i ference in expelling or suspend1ng
the University of Iowa from partici-
patton in athletic contests ruled by the
conference is an indication of the vig1-
lance that is exercised in connection
with intercollegiate athletics. Old grads
of various colleges are watching one an
other with suspicious glares In their
eyes in the matter of athletics, and foot
ball in particular.
With these conditions, there Is fair
guaranty that college athletics will be
way. But what Of the academic stand
ards Of the various colleges? 1 do not
know of a single instance where an old
grad of any institution has been con-
cerned about this matter. If there have
been any alumni worrying over this
phase of the higher education, they do
not seem to have been able to crash the
newspapers.
AS it stands, it is very easy mat
ter to determine when foot ball
coach is incompetent or derelict ir
his duties. The records at the end
of the foot ball season will show that.
But there is no way of telling
whether or not a college president or
the head Of department is incom-
petent or Is falling down on his job.
Alumni 40 not seem to be concerned
about this phase.

The University of Illinois is a
typical 100000 foot ball profits
school and the University of I'LL
nois has little trouble getting rid
of the 100000 and being ready
for q fresh start in the Fall.
In one year base ball can lose
$4,000 there. Basket ball is well
attended and shows a profit of
nearly $4,000. Golf is a dead loss
amounting to about $4,000.
Gymnastics and fencing run about

ming costs $2.500; soccer, $1,000; tennis.
$4,000: wrestling, $4,000. and track and
field, $4,000. Base ball and track are
the most expensive sports. Base ball
has a good income at Illinois and the
loss is small compared to other schools.
These losses in Spring and Winter
sports don't eat up the profits Of foot
ball. But these figures are only
operating costs and losses.
The big foot ball money goes into
building funds for these other sports
that can't pay their own way.

Minnesota has developed all the
