OLYMPIC CLUB
DROPS OUT OF
FRESNO RELAYS
BY NORRIS LEAP
-nited Press staff Correspondent

\
FRESNO, Calf. May IA new
slant was given today on the prob
able outcome of the west coast re-
lays here Saturday by the with
draWal Of the San Francisco Olym-
pic clubs l4-man team.
The club directors who announced
the withdrawal yesterday afternoon
were reported as attributing the ac-
ton to "unwillingnesS to spend the
money" to bring a team here, the
first time the winged 20" has failed
to appear in a major western COM
petition of the sort i'll a dozen
years.
The fading of the Olympic club
changes the relays picture consid-
erably.
As late as yesterday it appeared
certain the University of Southern
California's so athletes would be
hard put to repeat the Trojan VIC
tories of the last four years here.
in the face of the high point score
certain to be piled up by the Los
Angeles Athletic clubs aggregation
of 80 stars.
The Olympic club was very much
in that picture threatening as it
did with such performers as Ken
meth Churchill. the javelin thrower;
Ken Dyer and his near-record broad
jumps. and Henry Coggeshall, the
high jumper. to take many points
needed by the Trojans.
The outlook had been for an all
around hot competition with rec
ords probably falling in several
events. bur with the Trojans and
the L. A. A. c. in a neck-and-
race for relay honors. with the final
score probably no more than four
or five points apart for the two.
The prospect of rd-breaking
performances was not lessened
greatly by the Olympic club with
drawal, but the L. A. A. C. pros
poets for a possible victory were
certainly somewhat damaged, ac-
cording to the experts.
The picture changes most mark
edly as it reaches the high jump,
the broad jump and the spear
throwing where the Olympic club
stars were certain to shine. In
those events the Trojans have a
formidable entry list, just where
the L. A. A. C. is weakest, either in
talent or in numbers.

UNION
TEAM TO DECIDE
VALLEY PENNANT

Central Union high scnool5
baseball team at o'clock tomor-
row afternoon will hold the key
position in the Imperial Valley
baseball league championship race
during contest with BraWley high
school on the local diamond.
Ell Centros position is not that
of a champion contender, for the
last game of the season will see the
Spartans in no better than second
place, and probably in third place.
But the local team furnishes a
threat to the championship hopes
of Brawley, since that nine at
present is tied with CaleXico for
first place.
A defeat by Ell Centre would
blast Brawley's hopes for the
championship, and probably would
hurt the north end feelings as
much by virtue of losing to the
Spartans as by losing the title,
since rivalry between the two
squads is intense.
Soloman will start in the pitch
er's box for Ell Centro, with Ike
Price behind the bat This battery
has been going fine for the last
few games and should be in the
best of form tomorrow. Elliott may
be shifted to shortstop, and Sato
will play second base.
Since this is the last game OF
the season for the El Centro team,
large crowd is expected to wit
ness the struggle.

A New Safety Theory

A new theory in motor vehicle
operation. has been advanced by
psychologists. who have made a
careful study of the subject. The
theory is that the personality of the
motorist directly affects his man.
ner of driving. If this be SO, then it
is pertinent to develop what might
be called safety character in the
operator. This development would
always be short of perfection be-
cause of the characteristic common
to all humankind, error, ("To err is
human"D, but the development
could be lifted to the highest point
possible by preparing children of
the present for those problems of
the highway in which they will
participate in the future, in this
way lessening their liability to traf-
fic errors.
Education and instruction in
driving qualifications are urged by
the Ohio Department of Highways
in it's appeal to parents for cooper
alton. The character education, as
it applies to the potential operators
of motor vehicles, should teach
each child the rights of others, in
stilling in the child consideration
and leaving with him, as char
acteristic of mind, the ability to
contemplate every situation in which
he takes part, not only from the
standpoint of his own safety and
comfort, but from the standpoint OF
the safety of all others concerned.
If such teaching, applied to the ordi-
nary and everyday experiences OF
life, can be worked into the char
acter building of each child, it will
become part Of his self-expression,
that is, habit, and when that hap |
pens he will be grounded in the
first requisite Of character educa-
tion necessary for his safe partic-
ipation as a motorist.
